Indonesia Leads Geothermal Growth, Hosts IIGCE 2025
Indonesia, now the world's second-largest in geothermal capacity, hosted the International Indonesia Geothermal Convention & Exhibition (IIGCE) 2025. Over 150 companies and delegates from 22 countries attended, highlighting Indonesia's commitment to renewable energy and geothermal development.
Indonesia's installed geothermal capacity stands at 2,744 MW, trailing only the U.S. with 3,937 MW. However, Indonesia's total geothermal potential is impressive at 23,742 MW, indicating significant room for growth. The IIGCE 2025 event saw the launch of the Indonesia Geothermal Excellence Centre, a testament to the government's dedication to advancing this sector.
Geothermal energy's unique advantage lies in its high capacity factor, exceeding 90%, ensuring continuous operation. Indonesia welcomes international collaboration, with the European Union (EU) being a key partner in promoting the path to renewable energy. The government has also implemented a comprehensive policy package to accelerate geothermal development.
Indonesia, with its vast geothermal potential and commitment to renewable energy, is open to exchanging technology, expertise, and best practices with international partners. The IIGCE 2025 event and the launch of the Indonesia Geothermal Excellence Centre signal Indonesia's serious intent to lead in geothermal energy production.
