Abstract: Indonesia has a huge of geothermal potential in the world since the location of the country is in the ring of fire in volcano line. Approximately 28.91GW of geothermal energy potential is spread across 312 locations on several islands such as Java, Sulawesi and Sumatra, Bali, Nusa Tenggara and Sulawesi. However, the utilization ratio of this potential is small, less than 5%, generate 1533.5MW electricity from 11 geothermal power plant such as Gunung salak, which has a capacity of 377MW, 270MW of darajat; 227MW of Wayang windu, 235MW of Kamojang, 60MW of Dieng, 55MW of Patuha. 165MW of Ulubelu, 12MW of Sibayak, 120MW of Lahendong, and 10MW of Ulumbu. Most of the geothermal reservoirs are water-dominated. However, two reservoirs in Gunung salak and Lahendong, are vapor-dominated. Therefore Dry steam power plant is employed in those two plant.
