JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto will soon form a task force to accelerate the development of nuclear power plants (PLTN) in Indonesia.

This was said by the Director General of New Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Eniya Listiani Dewi when found by reporters, Jakarta, Friday, January 31.

Eniya said that Prabowo was also preparing a presidential decree to establish the Nuclear Energy Program for the Implementing Organization (NEPIO).

"This is currently being discussed with the Minister of Presidential Decree. So the Presidential Decree, not an organization, may later turn into a task force. So there is a critical thinking, Mr. Minister, how is this the fastest? This is still being discussed," he said.

Eniya continued, PLTN was indeed included in the National Electricity General Plan (RUKN) with the initial plan to build PLTN with a capacity of 250 MW in early 2032.

Later the plan will be translated into a business plan for the provision of electricity (RUPTL) to ensure its implementation.

"Later we will translate it into the RUPTL, God willing, it will enter because it has translated the language in RUKN," said Eniya.

Furthermore, Eniya explained that currently the government is targeting PLTN regulations to be completed by 2025. Then in 2026 a mechanism will be formed for the initiation of the power plant project.

For this reason, Eniya warned about the importance of studying various approaches from other countries.

"Because various countries have other concepts. Some tenders are even wrong. The tender is by government or not. So there is a difference per country," continued Eniya.

Later, continued Eniya, the experience of other countries will be used as a reference to ensure effective and efficient project implementation. Thus, preparations for the development of PLTN in Indonesia will only begin in 2029.

"We will use Lesson learned as a reference when we will execute it," said Eniya.
