| Abstract | Indonesia, the biggest archipelago country in the world spreads in equator and is endowed with numerous geothermal energy resources. This research is exerted to investigate Indonesian electricity policy in its connection with Indonesian energy mix policy. Some suggestion is derived as an input for smoothing the energy technology implementation policy. The comparative study of geothermal power plant to coal fired power plant is described in an effort to raise the electricity ratio. The geothermal energy potential and the current field works are described. Various geothermal energy technologies that have been applied in various areas of Indonesia, the price of steam, the electricity production and the community social responsibility are briefly described. |
