Jakarta’s Rushing Its Nuclear Ambition

Summary

Indonesia has long expressed its ambition to become a nuclear-powered nation, dating back to the early years of its independence. The country aspired to build a full-scale nuclear power plant to bolster domestic technological and economic development. Despite significant delays, recent months have seen the current administration ramp up its preparations, with a publicly announced target of commencing nuclear power plant operations in 2039. This renewed drive towards nuclear energy could have significant implications for Indonesia’s economic growth, and it will be crucial to monitor progress in the coming years.
