Indonesia Integrates Nuclear Energy into National Master Plan
What happened
The Presidential Special Envoy for Climate and Energy, Hashim Djojohadikusumo, announced that a nuclear milestone has been formally integrated into Indonesia's national energy master plan following consultations with state utility firm PT PLN. The ambitious program includes a target of 7 GW for nuclear power, which will complement a 100 gigawatt-peak (GWp) solar power development target. The government plans to finalize the geographical site selection for these nuclear facilities by 2026 or 2027 at the latest, while evaluating partnership proposals from international leaders in the field, including those from the United States, South Korea, Japan, and Russia.
