WKP Gunung Endut Lebak Offered for Geothermal Project

“For the 14 locations that we conveyed, the first process is of course that we communicate with the local government. "For each location, including those currently underway, communication with the local government must be carried out as soon as possible," he said. said Eniya, quoted Wednesday, September 2 2026.

Regional government involvement is also needed to ensure that geothermal development plans are in accordance with regional conditions, spatial planning, community interests, and environmental protection provisions.

Geothermal Potential of Mount Endut

Mount Endut's geothermal potential is characterized by the presence of a number of hot springs which have temperatures of around 56 to 90 degrees Celsius.

Research on geothermal potential in this area has been carried out for a long time, including by Rezky and team in 2006 and Sugianto and team in 2008.

In 2021, the Geological Agency through the Center for Mineral, Coal and Geothermal Resources will again conduct a survey on Mount Endut. The survey aims to complete geoscience data through geological, geochemical and geophysical research as well as mapping using Light Detection and Ranging or LiDAR technology.

The research results show that the Mount Endut area is composed of volcanic rocks and surface deposits of Tertiary to Quaternary age.
