Although the number of geothermal power plant (PLTP) in soil water capacity is still small compared to the existing potential, Indonesia should be proud cause generating capacity that operates with 1200 megawatt (MW) currently, has been ranked as the third world.This was revealed by Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (MESDM) Darwin Zahedy Saleh in a Working Visit to the Integrated Waste Places (TPST) Bantar Gebang, Tuesday, August 2, 2010.

"Although only used four per cent, equivalent to 1200 MW, but we've ranked as the third world," he said. If you have maximized the development potential to 4000 MW, then Indonesia would be the biggest countries have geothermal power and this will continue to be encouraged by the Government since the domestic demand for electricity continues to increase 3.5 to 4 percent per year while the existing capacity is not sufficient. "We have 30,000 MW of installed capacity, of which PLN remainder met by the private sector, private sector role in the future will be more," he said. From the data mentioned PLN, which already operates geothermal power plants with capacity of 1167 MW of which 420 MW and 747 MW of PLN's private property, while still in the construction phase of the program beyond the second stage of acceleration of 10 000 MW, 142.5 MW and 10,000 MW in the second phase is planned to be developed 3977 MW, with details of PLN 40 MW, 300 MW electricity and PGE, PGE 665 MW IPP, IPP PGE and the Joint Operation Contract (JOC) 1125 MW, 1874 MW IPP.
