Indonesia has now overtaken the Philippines in terms of geothermal power capacity. At the end of Q1-2018 Indonesia's installed geothermal power capacity reached 1,925 MW, higher than the 1,868 MW capacity of the Philippines. Moreover, by the end of 2018, Indonesia is expected to see its geothermal power capacity rise to 2,058 MW. However, Indonesia is still far away from becoming the world's biggest geothermal power producer. Capacity of the USA currently stands at 3,591 MW, hence leading by a distance.
The government of Indonesia is now one step further in turning fully state-owned energy company Pertamina into an oil & gas holding firm.

Although the production figure is rising, Indonesia only taps 10.3 percent of its geothermal potential.
Good news for supporters of renewable energy.

Indonesian glass manufacturers are still waiting for the Indonesian government to cut the gas price. Yustinus Gunawan, Chairman of the Float and Safety Glasses Association (in Indonesian: Asosiasi Kaca Lembaran dan Pengamanan, or AKLP), says the high gas price undermines Indonesian glass producers' competitiveness as foreign counterparts can produce their glass output with lower production costs, hence being able to offer more competitive prices on the international market.

The central bank of Indonesia (Bank Indonesia) said it carefully monitors the impact of higher electricity tariffs on the nation's inflation pace in March 2017. This month the government implemented the second phase of its gradual electricity tariff increase program for 900-VA household customers.

Meanwhile, Indonesia's coal exports were down 14 percent (y/y) to 68 million metric tons over the same period amid sluggish global demand.
