Small scale geothermal development strategy framework
With request to the promotion for diversification of energy resources geothermal energy is an alternative energy, renewable, relatively clean and nonexportable resource; the maximum utilization of these resources therefore has a first priority as Indonesia is one of the world prominent volcanics countries with many active volcanic phenomena. Most of the geothermal prospects are located in rural areas, which have limited small diesel generating plants or no electricity at all; under the energy sector policy of the Government of Indonesia which stressed rural electrification, taking into account the equity of development for ail Indonesia`s regions and with the goal of National benefits. To ensure that small scale geothermal power plants for rural electrification can be implemented most effectively and efficiently, a strategy framework needs to include appropriate arrangement for project planning; from scientific study to construction periods, which are currently a constraint on both cost and time domains. This paper discusses the strategy framework approaches, including a possible combining of a serial plural activities and streamlining of contract packages. Indonesia as a country which is made up more than 16,000 islands of varying sizes, located between 6{degrees} N-11{degrees} S Lat and 95{degrees}-141{degrees} E Long. The Government of Indonesia stresses a guideline for the energy policy, namely: intensification on the survey and exploration of resources; diversification of energy by means of reducing oil depency utilization and promoting through development, utilization and customary use of substitute fuels; conservation of natural resources with goals to economize and efficiently use energy utilization; and indexation of each energy need with the most appropriate energy resources available in the country.
