The development of geothermal energy supports Indonesia’s transition toward renewable energy. However, PT Sorik Marapi Geothermal Power (SMGP) operations in Sibanggor Julu have raised environmental and social concerns, including alleged H₂S exposure, air quality disturbances, and community tensions. This study uses a literature review of official documents, academic publications, investigation reports, and reliable news sources. The findings show both environmental concerns and positive impacts, particularly infrastructure development and local economic opportunities. Sustainable management requires stronger environmental monitoring, transparency, and community participation.
