The Indonesian government regulates that geothermal producing areas benefit directly from geothermal exploitation through bonuses on geothermal production. The regulation regarding the bonus of geothermal production is mandated by article 53 of Law Number 21 of 2014 as outlined in Government Regulation Number 28 of 2016 regarding the Amount and Procedure for Granting Geothermal Production Bonuses, which is stipulated more clearly in Permen ESDM Number 23 2017 regarding reconciliation procedures, depositing and reporting on geothermal production bonuses. In the regulation, it is explained that for geothermal steam sales, the production bonus that must be paid by the developer is 1 percent of gross income. As for electricity sales, the production bonus is set lower, which is 0.5 percent of gross income. The parameters and weights used as the basis for calculating the production bonus include the area of ​​work, production infrastructure, supporting infrastructure, and realization of production. As a the only geothermal state-owned company in Indonesia, PT Geo Dipa Energi (Persero) which has four geothermal working areas, contributes considerably to Indonesia state revenue and local government revenue through direct production deposit to the local treasury. Regarding to GeoDipa’s Social Economic Report 2017, GeoDipa contributes around Rp 10 billion for Indonesia through Dieng and Patuha production bonuses within the period of 2014 until 2017. GeoDipa Social Economic Report 2017 applied quantitative approaches, consists of descriptive analysis and regression analysis. The result showed that GeoDipa Geothermal Production Bonuses give a positive impact even though not necessarily direct towards local government revenue. |
