Overview of the Indonesian Geothermal Sector

Largest geothermal resource base in the world Third largest producer of geothermal power in the world ~ 1,200 MW installed Geothermal Law in 2003 and numerous implementing regulations since
Licenses awarded prior to Geothermal Law remain under legacy arrangements
After Geothermal Law, licenses awarded by regional governments though price-based tender

The Government targets an additional 3,967 MW of geothermal capacity additions by end of 2014 Geothermal power to help Indonesia achieve GHG reduction targets

New Geothermal Working Areas

Numerous Companies Provides guarantees

M o F

State-owned enterprises Subsidiaries of state-owned enterprises Private geothermal companies

Progress has been limited

Development has stagnated since passage of Geothermal Law
Only ~260 MW of new capacity additions over past decade

New capacity additions likely to reach only

< 600 MW by 2014 < 1,400 MW by 2016

Several initiatives underway to revitalize the sector

Principal elements of sector reform

3. Rationalize the tender process for new working areas

1. Address exploration risks for new working areas

2. Introduce Feed-in Tariffs

Some issues to consider

The benefits of tendering
Minimizes second-guessing The greater the resources or larger the government support, the more important it becomes

The value of pre-tender exploration by the government

Pay me now, or pay me more later

Maximize exploitation or minimize price? tender criteria Maximize speed or minimize price? value of feed-in tariffs The challenge of prioritizing government support
Coordination of licensing with government exploration
