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!
