9.1 Free, Public Accessibility to Your Maps API Implementation. Your
Maps API Implementation must be generally accessible to users without
charge. You may require users to log in to your Maps API
Implementation if you do not require users to pay a fee. Unless you
have entered into a separate written agreement with Google or obtained
Google's written permission, your Maps API Implementation must not:
(a) require a fee-based subscription or other fee-based restricted access; or
(b) operate only behind a firewall or only on an internal network
(except during the development and testing phase).

Which means, No, the free API can't be used on an intranet; but you
can buy a Premier licence which will allow you to do that.

Rossko and Andrew are correct.

If you want to use the Google Maps API on your intranet then you will need a premier license.

Since this question comes again and again, I was wondering why Google
won't simply enforce the rule in the API, instead of having non-
lawyers (or some lawyers) to read TOU lines and still not sure.
Basically check referrer IP and have the hosting Google server make a
connection to it, if failed, like in the case of apps hosted in
Intranet behind firewall, then give an alert, similar to V2's alert
about wrong key. Skip this process if API was requested using premium
client ID, or is "localhost".
Thoughts?
