Presiden Joko Widodo (Jokowi) menyoroti pentingnya energi panas bumi sebagai salah satu kunci keberhasilan transisi energi di Indonesia. Sebab, energi panas bumi memiliki potensi besar untuk menjadi dasar utama transisi energi.
"Pemerintah berkomitmen penuh untuk mendukung dan memfasilitasi kolaborasi antara berbagai pihak guna mewujudkan Indonesia sebagai Center of Excellence di bidang panas bumi, sekaligus memastikan bahwa pengembangan ini berdampak nyata pada kesejahteraan rakyat dan keberlanjutan lingkungan," ujarnya saat pidato pembukaan The 10th Indonesia International Geothermal Convention & Exhibition (IIGCE) 2024, di JCC, Jakarta, Rabu (18/9/2024).

00:00The government is investigating low-income household's long-term employment contract to sell and buy electricity from the earth.
00:08It's hoped that new development will push for electric power consumption,
00:13but it's not yet optimally utilized.
00:19The government is studying a long-term contract for up to 30 years for the sale of electricity from the Earth's heat.
00:30This is a strategy aimed at promoting the investment of the Earth's heat, which has great potential but is not used optimally.
00:39The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Bahlil Lahadali, stated that the investment needed for the development of the Earth's heat is large,
00:46it can even be seven times that of coal.
00:49Therefore, it is reasonable if the price of electricity produced is higher than that of coal.
00:54However, if left as it is, there will be no place for the Earth's heat in Indonesia's electricity.
01:00For that, the government will propose the latest regulation related to the contract for the sale and purchase of electricity between the PLN and the development of the Earth's heat
01:07to ensure that entrepreneurs can also benefit.
01:11There are also other challenges in the development of the Earth's heat in terms of permits and land.
01:16Bahlil admitted that at the moment, to start the activities of the Earth's heat production to construction, the PLTP can take six years.
01:25Exploration takes two to three years.
01:29Therefore, the construction can be built in six years.
01:34Therefore, the priority period for the President is one period.
01:38Imagine that.
01:40Therefore, it will be difficult for us to accelerate to reach net zero emissions by 2060.
01:47And we have the biggest potential.
01:50So, I ask for permission from the President.
01:52Sir, we will limit the time to encourage investors to accelerate the investment.
02:03According to the government's data, the utilization of the Earth's heat is only 2.6 gigawatts,
02:08or about 3% of the total electricity generation capacity in the water, which is 93,000 megawatts.
02:15In fact, several studies say that Indonesia is one of the countries with the world's largest Earth's heat potential.
