[email protected] priority in phase geological survey to prelimenary. ABSTRACT This paper give us image of geothermal growth in Almost 30 years since Kamojang, the first West Java since his early exploration until now. geothermal power plant in Indonesia located in West Beside that, it will explain the regulation that support Java, had produced 30 MWe electricity that makes geothermal development and investment opportunity. West Java become “the oldest brother” for INTRODUCTION geothermal development in Indonesia. Geothermal energy is one of the biggest energy Now after 30 years, West Java geothermal source that used in West Java. It is because development had been advanced with total Energy geothermal energy in West Java make the important Sales Contract reach 2.295 MWe in 8 location and role for that potential in resources or reserves. We have been produce 47% or approximately 1.075 MW know that when Indonesia located along the from Kamojang (200 MW), Darajat (271 MW), Salak legendary Ring of Fire, the Pacific Islands are host to (377 MW) and Wayang Windu (227 MW). The rest some of the largest resources of geothermal energy in 1.222 MW were still develop like Kamojang V, the world. As much as 40% of the world's geothermal Darajat III, Wayang Windu II, Patuha, and Karaha potential is found in Indonesia alone.
