Abstract

Arfak Highlands Regency is a new autonomous region in West Papua Province with abundant natural
resources. As new autonomous region Arfak Highlands Regency will experienced significant population growth.
Population growth along with development and modernization will give burden to electricity demand.
Alternatively, electricity could be provides with geothermal resources in Minyambouw District. Based on survey
conducted by the Government trough The Geology Resources Centre in 2009, the reservoir temperature of the
geothermal sources is 86oC with non volcanic geothermal system. Thus, the geothermal resources in Arfak
Highlands Regency could be developed into binary cycle electric generator.
