Indonesia has excellent geothermal resource availability – estimated 29 GW of which only around 4.5% was exploited as of 2015. In order to increase country’s renewable energy share in the energy mix and exploit its geothermal potential, the Ministry for Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia opened technology-specific auctions.

Auctions are organized in two stages. The first stage is a pre-qualification stage to determine the eligibility of bidders based on the viability of funding and technical aspects, while the second stage is to determine the winner of the auction based on the offered price of electricity per plant.

In fall 2016 Indonesia opened auctions for procurement of six geothermal areas. Auction for Simbolon Samosir working geothermal area was repeated on 1 st of December. Results of auctions are expected to be announced in first half of 2017 while plants will be commissioned between 2024 and 2025.

Big Oil Eyes Record Profits but Keeps Spending in Check

Oil supermajors have been raking it in since the war in the Middle East began. They are now set to report another robust quarter, even as some jurisdictions where they operate plan to slap windfall taxes on them. The question now is what Big Oil will do with these profits. The answer: it probably won’t be a spending spree. They sure have the money for a spree. If the second quarter is any indication—and it is—oil and gas majors are having a really strong year. Out of all S&P 500 sectors, Energy booked annual growth of 128.2%…

U.S. Energy Red Tape Gives China an Edge

The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 was introduced in the Senate at the end of September and is expected to be debated after the mid-term elections when Congress returns from the recess on November 9. The bill would reinforce statutory deadlines…

S&P Global Warns Hormuz Energy Shock Could Become a Global Food Crisis

Ongoing conflict between some of the world’s most prominent economies on two major fronts – Russia’s war in Ukraine and the United States’ and Israel’s war in Iran – is creating geopolitical shockwaves through critical global trade routes and threatening some of humanity’s most essential commodities, from oil and gas to grain and fertilizer. A "multidirectional squeeze on world agriculture" is taking form,…

As BP Leaves the North Sea, These Independents Are Buying In

Back in July, UK oil and gas major BP Plc. (NYSE:BP) announced that it was putting its entire UK North Sea oil and gas business up for sale as part of a broader $20-billion portfolio overhaul, marking the end of a 60-year era as a leading player in Europe's largest oil basin. BP's North Sea operations produced about 117,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2025 (roughly 5% of BP's total global output) and employed around 1,100 people. BP is hardly alone. Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and Chevron (NYSE:CVX) have sold their UK North Sea assets in recent…
