Indonesia consisting of a volcanic island group with a large population has a growing need for electric power to partially replace oil consumption and is rapidly developing its geothermal resources. Geothermal studies of the area for approximately 50 years have culminated in the development of the Kamojang field with New Zealand assistance where 90 MW will be installed. The first 250 KW power station was installed in 1978. Six geothermal areas have been selected by the government for early development in Java and Bali. A geothermal steam cleaner has been installed at Kamojang to reduce turbine maintenance requirements representing a new state of the art development. At Dieng in Central Java wells have located a geothermal reservoir at 2000 meters depth and a potential for 1000 to 2000 MW has been estimated for that region. A 2000 KW power station was started-up in March 1981 at Dieng where several villages will be served for the first time.
