Geothermal Power Generation Development

Abstract*

The objective of the Geothermal Power Generation Development Project is to promote the expansion of economic and environmentally friendly geothermal power generation in Indonesia, and to reduce Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the power system. There are four components to the project. The first component is the policy framework for scaling-up the development of geothermal power. This component will assist the Government of Indonesia (GoI) in developing...

Development Objective

The development objective of the proposed project is to promote the expansion of economic and environmentally friendly geothermal power generation in Indonesia, and to reduce CO2 emission from the power system. The project will assist the GoI to prepare and implement its geothermal sector reform program designed to remove the key policy and institutional barriers which presently prevent greater development of geothermal resources, and will assist in the transaction of geothermal power investments. The global environment objective of the project is to promote on-grid electricity from geothermal sources, reducing the need for coal-based generation capacity and avoiding associated greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed project is expected to have a sizable immediate impact as well as sustained log-term benefits.

    CommentAlternate approach whereby World Bank has assisted PGE, largest public geothermal developer, with separate capacity building grantto enhance its efficiency and reduce costs by meeting industry and international standards. This has been successfully completedwith the preparation of three projects. Private developers are not expected to need such assistance.

    DateJune 10, 2013June 30, 2013
    CommentNo investment transactions supported by the project. The previous values were deleted as it was not supported by the project.Thetarget is unlikely to be achieved.

    DateJune 10, 2013June 30, 2013
    CommentNo reduction of CO2 emission is expected as no investment transactions supported by the project. The target is unlilkely to beachieved.
