The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources stated that the plan to build a nuclear power plant in 2030 or 2032 will be submitted to the President.The nuclear power plant project has been included in the 2025-2034 Electricity Supply Business Plan, which is currently in its finalization stage. He believes that nuclear power plants can strengthen the national power system and reduce dependence on fossil fuel power generation, but extensive public education on nuclear energy utilization is needed. There is potential for cooperation between Indonesia and the UK in nuclear power plant development. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair stated that the UK has developed modular nuclear power plant technology with capacities of 300-500 MW, suitable for archipelagic countries like Indonesia. The Indonesian government will await a technology demonstration by a British energy company to determine the applicability of this technology in Indonesia. Currently, Bangka Belitung and Central Kalimantan are potential sites for the construction of nuclear power plants in Indonesia, in addition to West Kalimantan. However, the final construction site has not yet been determined and will depend on government planning, which anticipates the development of a 1 GW nuclear energy project, potentially marking the beginning of Indonesia's nuclear energy development.
