Indonesia has 27,000 MW of potential geothermal energy sources

As such, geothermal energy was expected to meet the people`s need for electricity and at the same time improve their welfare.
Purnomo said Indonesia now had a total installed electricity generation capacity of 25,000 MW which would continue to be increased following the construction of power plants with a combined capacity of 10,000 MW in a number of locations in the country.
Therefore, the energy minister expressed hope that high technology cooperation with various parties would emphasize fuel efficiency and new innovations in an effort to produce clean and environment-friendly energy.
At least nine cooperation agreements were signed in President Yudhoyono`s presence on the occasion which was also attended by a number of United Indonesia Cabinet ministers.
