Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Yuliot Tanjung said that the government is planning to accelerate the development of Indonesia’s first nuclear power plant to 2029, moving it ahead from the original target of 2032.

“This acceleration is part of the government’s commitment to achieving renewable energy goals outlined in the National Electricity Plan 2025–2060,” he said during a meeting with Commission XII of the House of Representatives (DPRO on Thursday (23/1/2025).

By 2060, Indonesia’s electricity capacity is projected to reach 443 gigawatts, with 79% coming from renewable energy. PLTN is expected to play a critical role in meeting these targets, according to antaranews.com.

To oversee implementation, the government plans to establish the Nuclear Energy Program Implementation Organization (NEPIO). 

Eniya Listiani Dewi, the Ministry’s Director General of Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation, said thatNEPIO’s formation requires a Presidential Decree, which is under review.

The first on-grid nuclear power plant, with a capacity of 250 megawatts, is expected to support Indonesia’s transition to sustainable energy.
