JAKARTA, October 29 (Xinhua) — Indonesia plans to launch its first nuclear power plant by 2032 as part of its efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, Deputy Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Yuliot Tanjung announced at a meeting of the Nuclear Regulatory Agency's Executive Committee on Tuesday.
According to him, nuclear energy is considered a strategic option for ensuring the country's energy security and sustainability.
“Nuclear power plants are no longer considered a last resort, but rather an important part of national energy planning,” he said, emphasizing that this approach is in line with Indonesia’s long-term development plan and the government’s recently published national energy policy decree.
According to the government's plan, nuclear energy will account for 5 percent of Indonesia's energy mix by 2030 and 11 percent by 2060.
Despite the promising outlook, Yu Tanjung acknowledged that the project faces challenges related to funding, construction timelines, and public safety issues.
He added that the government would strengthen risk mitigation measures, regulatory oversight and international cooperation to ensure the safety and efficiency of nuclear operations. –0–
