Abstract

As the global energy landscape shifts towards sustainable sources, geothermal energy emerges as a pivotal renewable resource, particularly in regions with abundant geothermal potential like Indonesia. This study focuses on Mount Seulawah in Aceh Province, a region rich in geothermal resources, to optimize the selection of geothermal power plant (GPP) sites using the Multi-Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis (MOORA) method. Our approach integrates environmental, technical, and accessibility criteria, including distance to settlements, land slope, proximity to fault lines and heat sources, and road access. By employing a structured decision matrix and applying MOORA, we systematically evaluated and ranked potential sites based on their suitability for GPP development. The results highlight the site at Ie Brôuk as the most optimal due to its minimal environmental impact and superior geological and accessibility conditions. This study not only contributes to the strategic deployment of geothermal resources in Indonesia but also provides a replicable model for other regions with similar geothermal potentials, emphasizing the importance of a balanced and informed approach to renewable energy site selection.
