Regulation is the important things as the framework and reference for developer to conduct a business such as geothermal development legally in line. Geothermal regulation is needed in developing geothermal power plant as renewable energy from green energy for cleaner environment. The purpose of this research was to analyse the geothermal regulation in Indonesia and compare with New Zealand regulation. This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive research method. The data used in this study were taken through in-depth interviews with an expert and literature study from various relevant sources data related with Indonesia and New Zealand geothermal regulation. One of geothermal regulation in Indonesia is related to the Geothermal Working Area (GWA), where basically issued from two regimes of geothermal law, that are GWA formed prior Act No. 27/2003 and GWA formed afterward Act No. 27/2003, those geothermal regulations was changed time by time. While New Zealand has regulations namely Resource Management Act (RMA) 1991 which is the main environmental law in New Zealand. Therefore, from this research was analysed that clear regulation is needed to conduct geothermal development which is more applicable and provide benefits to geothermal developers who are fully supported by the government and stakeholders.
