State-owned power utility company PT PLN has approved a proposal from the Russian nuclear giant State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom to build Indonesia’s first nuclear power plant. The government is expediting the development of nuclear energy, with the facility projected to be operational by either 2030 or 2032. This marks a historic milestone as the country moves to adopt nuclear power as a new source of clean and sustainable electricity. Zainal Arifin, Executive Vice President for Renewable Energy at PLN, said the decision to greenlight Rosatom’s proposal came after the company offered a highly competitive cost for the construction. Zainal noted that Rosatom’s technology stands out compared to that of a U.S.-based nuclear firm, particularly in terms of scale and sophistication.Source : https://indonesiabusinesspost.com/4205/energy-and-resources/indonesia-approves-rosatom-s-proposal-aiming-for-first-operation-by-2030 (ICE GIACARTA)
