Russia’s State Atomic Energy Corporation- Rosatom has presented modern energy solutions tailored to Indonesia’s needs at an international seminar dedicated to modern nuclear technologies and the socio-economic impact of nuclear power plant (NPP) construction, held in Bandung recently.
The event was organized by PLN Nusantara and Indonesia’s National Research and Innovation Agency. The seminar brought together experts from Indonesia, Russia, Hungary, and Türkiye.
Participants discussed Indonesia's plans for nuclear energy development and the challenges of creating a nuclear industry. Special attention was given to the economic and social benefits of nuclear energy, localization of production, and regulatory frameworks.
Speakers from Hungary and Türkiye shared their experiences in NPP construction and their choice of Russian technology. A key agenda item was securing public support for nuclear energy in Indonesia.
“Indonesia is experiencing rapid growth in energy consumption while also aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. The rising electricity demand across different regions of the country can be efficiently met with large and small-scale NPPs, including floating power units,” said Alexander Tsybulya, a representative of Rosatom.
