| Abstract | Flores island is located in eastern Indonesia and part of East Nusa Tenggara province. Known with the big potential geothermal reserve that spread in the 17 locations with approximately 402.5 MWe and 527 MWe reserve backup. According the big potential reserve, government arrange Flores as the island of geothermal. The aim of this arrangement is to fulfill the electricity demand by maximize the potential geothermal reserve, also with direct utilization to increase the agriculture, plantation, and tourism result. Geothermal energy can be used indirectly or directly. Geothermal can be indirectly used to produce electricity. Direct-use applications exist on a scale ranging from heating and cooling. The direct use of geothermal energy has significant economic, environmental, and social benefits, chiefly because it reduces electricity demand as it replaces electric-driven heating and cooling applications. The focus location is in Flores, Mataloko. This is a sub-district that located in Golewa district, Ngada city, in Nusa Tenggara Timur province. This district has 3.5 km2 land area or about 4.73% from the total area from Golewa district is Mataloko sub-district. This study describing about overview of the location, understand about the existing potential, identify all the possibilities that can be implemented for the best option of geothermal direct use in Mataloko. |
