Does Indonesia's Energy Transition Need Nuclear Plants?

The Indonesian government is gradually planning to realize the construction of nuclear power plants (PLTN). This can be seen from the issuance of two government regulations to support nuclear power plants by the end of 2022 and Article 14 of the EBET Bill which imposes the cost of nuclear waste management on the government.

 

Unfortunately, the track record of the discussion of the draft EBET Bill seems to show the thick involvement of a nuclear company. In contrast, broader public interests have not been represented equally in the bill process.

 

The question is, are nuclear power plants needed for energy transition in Indonesia? The answer is no, and in this briefing note, Yayasan Indonesia CERAH explains why.
