Asia Pacific Geothermal Forum

Identifying the significant opportunities for geothermal stakeholders to capitalize on in the Asia Pacific region

The Philippines and Indonesia represent the second and third largest installed bases of geothermal power in the world, yet the region has barely scratched the surface of potential geothermal resources. Indonesia has ambitiously targeted nearly 4GW of new geothermal capacity by 2014, with private sector developers expected to fill around half of this gap. Meanwhile,The Philippines has targeted over 1.4GW of increased capacity as part of its long term renewables plan looking to 2030, with 1,020 MW of new installations expected to come online between 2015-2020.

With numerous projects in the development phase and new tenders yet to be won around other places like India, Malaysia, China in the APAC region, there are significant opportunities for geothermal stakeholders to capitalise on these markets.

The Asia Pacific Geothermal Forum will bring together policy figures with local and international geothermal companies from across the geothermal value chain, discuss issues around how to leverage the investment to stimulate the growth of the industry, look at all the commercial and technical issues of current geothermal projects, policy and regulatory developments, financial and legal issues to construct and operate a successful plant.
