Indonesia is at a crossroads in energy sector
development...
On the one hand, demand for energy is growing
rapidly…
•
Limited access to modern
energy is hampering access to
prosperity-- electrification ratio
in 2011 was at 73%*).
•
GOI has set an ambitious target
of increasing electrification ratio
to 95% of the total number of
house hold by year 2025.
•
This will require an average of
1.3 million new connections
annually.
*) MEMR estimated figure in 2012 based on number of households electrified, including non-PLN
consumers
Which is currently leading to an increased reliance on
coal, gas, and renewable resources from oil…
Total Energy Production
•
•
Energy and power supply dominated
by fossil fuels (95% of total energy,
90% of electricity).
Oil and natural gas (LNG) production
are significant source of export
earnings and foreign investment.
Hdyro
1%
Coal
24%
Geothermal
3%
Oil
50%
Gas
22%
Electric Power Production
•
Demand required to achieve projected
GDP growth by 2030 may require a
tripling or more of current production.
Coal
26%
Gas
13%
Hdyro
8%
Geothermal
2%
Oil
51%
On the other hand, the GOI has set ambitious GHG
mitigation goals…
In this environment, geothermal is a win-win
• Current capacity ~ 1,200MW*)
• Expected additional capacity in next 10 years ~ 6,300MW**)
• Less than 3% of total potential
But there are challenges:
o Technology in upstream development ~ higher risk
o Regulatory framework ~ tender mechanism, tariff setting, site
permits
o Access to financing ~ upfront pre-development
o Adequate human resources capacity ~ engineers, earth scientists,
operators, policymakers, etc.

Why a public-private partnership?
Geothermal
Industry
• Uncertain regulatory
environment
• Exploration costs
• Access to financing
USAID
• Support transition to cleaner
energy sector
• Strengthen higher
education, science, and
technology
• Significant US geothermal
expertise
Strengthen HR capacity of geothermal
sector
Challenges in Human Resources Capacity Development
Quantity and Quality
o 50 full time staff per 1,000MW*
o Additional 300 geothermal engineers needed by 2021
o More so during development phase
Comparatively limited programs in Indonesian universities with
respect to oil and gas exploration
In-house development by established geothermal companies
(“existing pool”)
Limited number of experienced people ~ high movement from
one company to others
Lack of research center with strong linkage to geothermal
industry

University Partnership on Geothermal Education
Capacity Building (UP – Geothermal)
• Implementing Partner: University of Southern California, with Bandung
Institute of Technology and PT Star Energy
• Period of Implementation: November 2011 – January 2015;
• Objectives:
to build capacity for the geothermal educational program at ITB
to provide opportunities for US university to partner with Indonesian
university in developing and expanding geothermal education
programs
direct industry input into education initiatives through private sector
involvement
Activities to date
Advisory Board Members: Dirjen EBTKE-ESDM, Star Energy, Pertamina
Geothermal Energy, Indonesian Geothermal Association (“INAGA/API”),
Chevron Geothermal Indonesia, Supreme Energy, Schlumberger, and
Halliburton .
Scholarship for Magister Geothermal Program at ITB: 20 students to date.
Geothermal Seminars: Bandung, Padang (2012), Manado (2013), Surabaya,
Aceh (2014)
New Field Course: Geothermal Data Evaluation
Activities to date
• Attendence of ITB
faculty, staff and
students in
conferences, seminars,
and workshops: API
Renewable Energy
Conference and
Exhibition, GRC NZ
Geothermal Workshop.
• Training of Trainers:
introduction to
geothermal, detailed
exploration for test site
selection, environmental
impacts & risk
assessment, geothermal
data evaluation

Where Does the Partnership Go from Here?
• UP has been a proof-of-concept
• But the intersection between USAID’s and the
industry’s interests are bigger than what’s been done
thus far.
• Summer 2014, INAGA, USAID, and the industry will
be scoping out the next phase:
– Including possibilities for non-degree training, training for
regulators/financiers, research centers
• We’re looking for partners!
