What happened
Rosatom State Corporation signed an agreement with Indonesia's state-owned company, PT Pembangkit Listrik Nuklir, to supply electricity from two floating nuclear power plants (NPPs) in North Maluku. These FPU-100 units have a combined capacity of 200MW and are scheduled for installation in the region as early as five years from now. The deal facilitates the first-ever export of Russian expertise in civilian nuclear power.
