Indonesia, projected to be the World’s 7th largest economy by McKinsey & Company by 2050, has witnessed a stable 6% GDP Growth over the past years. With nearly 40% of the world’s geothermal potential, it is now on a fast track to expand its renewable energy capacity by increasing its geothermal installed capacity to 6,000MW by 2015 and provide 25% of national energy consumption by 2025, meaning a 14 billion USD investment will be needed if the target is to be met.

To this end, the Indonesian government has made progressive efforts to foster a stable and conducive environment to attract private investors’ involvement by streamlining the tendering process, setting up specific geothermal funds and more importantly, increasing feed-in-tariffs for power generated from geothermal plant. It’s a great moment for the industry, challenging yet exciting…

There are 150+ executive attendees and 25+ decision makers like regulatory agencies, project developers, operators, EPC contractors, equipment providers, investors, law firms and analysts will join this two day event.

At this event, you will hear the above speakers and experienced experts in geothermal power industry discuss topics like these: Political and fiscal Incentives Study; Geothermal resources data enhancement and availability; Geothermal power generation in oil field; Financing and investment climate and solutions; Advancement in drilling, exploration and power generation efficiency; Forest geothermal resources development and challenges.
