Anna Belokoneva, Head of Rosatom’s Representative Office in Indonesia, presented nuclear energy solutions to the Speaker of Indonesia’s Regional Representative Council, Sultan Baktiar Najamudin. The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Indonesia, Sergei Tolchenov, also attended the meeting. Anna Belokoneva presented Rosatom’s proposals tailored to the country’s various needs. The proposed solutions include large-scale nuclear power plants, small modular reactors, as well as floating power units.
“Indonesia requires innovative development of its nuclear energy potential as a source of electricity and other applications. Russia is a friendly country that has long been committed to developing nuclear energy to meet electricity demand,” Sultan Baktiar Najamudin stated. He highlighted that nuclear energy is a clean energy source aligned with Indonesia’s net zero emissions vision for 2060, as well as with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
“With extensive international experience in implementing nuclear energy projects, Rosatom is ready to contribute to ensuring reliable and sustainable energy supply in Indonesia. We offer a broad range of solutions tailored to the country’s needs, from large-scale nuclear power plants to small modular reactors, including floating power units”, said Anna Belokoneva.
The Russian side reaffirmed its readiness to further develop partnership with Indonesia in safe and efficient solutions in energy sectors. Rosatom implements a comprehensive approach to cooperation, which includes education and training, infrastructure development, stakeholder engagement, as well as creating opportunities for local companies and communities.
Small Nuclear Power Plants (SNPPs) represent one of
the most promising areas of the nuclear industry, with all key global players
developing their own solutions based on small modular reactor (SMR)
technologies. These solutions are designed to provide reliable supplies
of clean electricity and heat to remote and island territories, as well as to
support the development of promising mineral deposits. Rosatom possesses
reference technologies for the construction of small nuclear power plants in
both floating and land-based formats. Rosatom’s small power projects offer a
reliable source of electricity with a long-term predictable tariff for
consumers, making SNPP technologies particularly attractive to large industrial
customers that take a responsible approach to selecting energy supply sources
for their operations and areas of presence.
The VVER-1200 reactor belongs to Generation III+ and is Rosatom’s flagship project, fully compliant with international safety requirements. VVER-1200 power units are among the most efficient and environmentally friendly in the world; they are equipped with a combination of active and passive safety systems, many of which are unique. Currently, six power units based on such reactors are already in operation: four in Russia and two in the Republic of Belarus. Active construction of nuclear power plants using Russian technology is underway in Egypt, Hungary, Turkey, and China. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, exploration work is being carried out for the construction of two VVER-1200 units.
