Indonesia plans to commission its first nuclear power plant between 2032 and 2034, aligning with its energy transition strategy to achieve net-zero emissions. The nuclear programme is part of a roadmap targeting 44 gigawatts of capacity by 2060, with 35 gigawatts for electricity and 9 gigawatts for hydrogen production by 2045.

The project is included in the National Electricity Supply Business Plan for 2025-2034, starting with 500 megawatts of capacity. The initial facilities will be located in Sumatra and Kalimantan, utilizing small modular reactor technology. Growing interest in nuclear energy is noted across Southeast Asia, with countries like Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam exploring nuclear solutions.
