Ketahanan Energi Indonesia (Studi Analisis : Optimalisasi Pemanfaatan Panas Bumi sebagai Alternatif Energi Baru dan Terbarukan di Sumatera Utara)

Abstract

This study describes the utilization of renewable energy, especially geothermal, Obstacles and Advantages in geothermal utilization, and Geothermal as a supporter of Energy resilience in North Sumatra. The theory used is the National Resilience Theory in which there are points that explain the concept of energy security and the second using the concept of sustainable development because this research focuses on how much Geothermal development to support the Resilience of Energy in North Sumatra. This research uses Qualitative Method by using Primary Data from interview and Secondary Data. The conclusion of this research is Geothermal has many positive roles but Utilization of Geothermal in North Sumatera still not optimal because although development of development dams is done big big an but its benefit still can not be felt by society. Because of the 16 newly discovered potential points 2 that have been built into Geothermal Power Plant (Lau Debuk which suffered turbine damage and the new Sarulla can operate in 2018), 1 potential point in the exploration phase towards the development stage ( Sorik Merapi), 2 potential points are in the process of auction, and the remaining 11 remaining points are still untouched. From the potential data, it is known that the potential of speculative resources is 1,500 MWe, while Sibayak PLTP is currently in the production operation phase with an installed capacity of 12 MW. So that the percentage of geothermal utilization in North Sumatera Province from the total potential is only about 0.8%
