Indonesia's nuclear power development plan has a short-term target of building a 500MW nuclear power plant by 2034, and a long-term target of expanding to 7GW by 2040. The initial investment of IDR 52.3 trillion (approximately USD 320 million) covers the 2025-2034 construction period, with total investment in the power sector at USD 18.8 billion (approximately IDR 2,967 trillion), with nuclear power accounting for 17% (second only to geothermal and solar PV).
The project is led by the State Electricity Company, adopting small modular reactor technology, with candidate sites including Bangka Belitung (feasibility study stage) and Kalimantan (alternative base).
The project has been included in the statutory document of the "2025-2034 Electricity Supply Plan". The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and the Parliament have established a special supervisory group (established in August 2025). The financing mechanism is government guarantees + international syndicated loans (with participation from Mitsubishi Japan and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power), with plans to issue green bonds, and also to launch a national nuclear power public education campaign (budget of IDR 500 billion in 2026), and has signed a talent training agreement with Rosatom.
The 500MW nuclear power plant can meet the electricity needs of 2 million households, while the 7GW nuclear power will account for 12% of Indonesia's total installed capacity, with an estimated electricity cost of USD 0.09/kWh (lower than coal power at USD 0.11/kWh).
