Residents in the District Sokoria East Ndona expects construction of Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP) to avoid damage to the environment around the exploration.
Therefore they expect the exploration and exploitation of really paying attention to the environmental conditions that exist around the site.



Hope was expressed by young leaders Sokoria, Rofinus Walu when met on Tuesday (21/8) in Ende. It said they did not want a repeat of Lapindo mudflow case in their area.
"We are expecting that the construction of PLTP Mutubusa really pay attention to the safety and comfort of residents and the environment surrounding the well bore. We will not be repeated in the case of Lapindo mud this place," said Rofinus Walu.



Admittedly, the presence of PLTP Mutubusa highly expected because it can meet the needs listirk in their place, because until now they do not have power of PT PLN so that they still use the lamp lights.



Meanwhile, Vice Regent Ende, Achmad Mochdar some time ago said the construction of the Geothermal Power Plant Mutubusa Sokoria contained no adverse impact on the environment. This is thought, on the terms of the results of a comparative study conducted some time with a number of components in the exact Garut in Kamojang and Bogor.



"In technical and Geothermal PLT invisible that we visited did not have an impact on the surrounding environment. Precisely eco-friendly efforts," said Mochdar. To that end, he said, as a follow up, the government is still waiting for the PT. Sokoria Geothermal Indonesia and PT PLN Center to negotiate a price fixing.



Because until now still holding on to the old regulations because it was still awaiting a Presidential Decree regulates the price per KWh of electricity generated by geothermal them.



Vice Regent Achmad Mochdar also clarified the issue of the existence of PLT Geothermal Mutubusa will affect the drying of water in the crater of Mount Kelimutu Kelimutu as close to TN. According to him, the presence of PLT Geothermal no impact Kelimutu.



"If we look at what is presented in Bogor Kamojang and the distance between locations with one lake that was there did not affect anything. Having been a few tens of years of operation has never been dry lake. Therefore baseless to say Kelimutu lake will be dry, "said Mochdar.



He therefore invites all community members to not generalize any form of mine with geothermal systems as different in both exploration and eksplotasinya. And no one has seen significant activity in geothermal exploration in Sokoria Mutubusa it. (Adm, pt)
