Last week, the Indonesian Geothermal Association (API) held a press conference, telling the media that some of its members could not begin exploration in 10 geothermal fields as state power firm PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) is still reluctant to discuss needed power purchase agreements (PPAs). The 10 working areas were also part of the second phase fast track program and the delay in accessing PPAs is likely to mean the government cannot meet the program's target.
