The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia has announced that a previous plan worth US$8bn to operate four nuclear power plants with a cumulated capacity of 6 GW by 2025 would be cancelled and that Indonesia would not resort to nuclear power to meet its 136.7 GW power capacity target by 2025 and its 430 GW target by 2050.
Indonesia has revised its National Energy Plan (last revision in 2006), which lays down the ground rules and guidelines for energy development in the country and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The latest guidelines aim to raise the share of renewables in the primary energy mix from the current target of 5% by 2025 to 23% by this date. The share of coal should be reduced to 30% (from 33% previously), while that of oil should reach 25% (from a previous target of 20%); gas will contribute for the remaining 22%. Indonesia will continue to follow developments in nuclear technology and nuclear power could remain a last-resort option for possible use after 2050.
