Aceh is an area known for its rich natural resources, one of which is a source of geothermal energy. Burni Telong mountain highlands of Central Aceh is one of geothermal energy sources in Aceh. In Geology, the mountain Burni Telong is the result of volcanic activity in the past were seen based material contained in the area, namely in the form of rock deposition results Volcanics Telong (Qvtg). This study aims to analyze the potential of geothermal Mount of Burni Telong based on geological structures that can be utilized as a source of renewable energy for power generation in Central Aceh in the future. The method used is the field survey with the approach in the field of Geology and Geophysics at Burni Telong. The result showed that on the first pass and second pass manifestations indicate a fault. Results of this study concluded that the geological structure of the fault led to the emergence manifestation Burni Telong around the mountain highlands of Central Aceh, Aceh, Indonesia, and has the potential to be used as renewable energy from geothermal energy for power generation in Central Aceh.
