Indonesia will build nuclear power plants with a total capacity of up to 4.3 GW. The President's Special Envoy for Climate and Energy stated that this is part of the government's energy transition strategy. The plants to be built are Small Modular Reactor (SMR) floating power plants, in addition to three 1 GW nuclear power centers.Previously, the National Energy Council revealed that Indonesia has 29 potential nuclear power plant sites, with a total capacity of up to 54 GW, and some potential sites from Sumatra to Papua have been planned. However, building nuclear power plants requires meeting three conditions, including establishing a Nuclear Energy Program Implementing Organization (NEPIO), stakeholder participation, and determining the national stance. This series of measures aims to address climate change challenges and promote economic development in central and eastern Indonesia.
