Indonesia has unveiled plans to build 4.3 GW of nuclear power capacity, marking a major shift toward cleaner energy in a country historically dependent on coal. The initiative includes floating small modular reactors (SMRs)—a promising step in the global floating energy landscape.
Key Highlights:
✅ 4 GW of nuclear capacity planned to reduce reliance on fossil fuels
✅ Introduction of floating small modular reactors (SMRs) for flexibility & scalability
✅ Targeting 2036 for nuclear power plant operations
✅ Indonesia remains cautious on coal, stopping new plants but not shutting all existing ones
With floating nuclear and SMR technology advancing globally, Indonesia’s strategy aligns with efforts to balance clean energy goals, grid resilience, and sustainability.
Could floating nuclear solutions play a bigger role in Southeast Asia’s energy transition?
