JAKARTA - Member of the National Energy Council (DEN) Agus Puji Prasetyono stated that his party has mapped 29 locations, which have the potential to be used as a nuclear power generation facility (PLTN) with an operational target of 2032.
Agus at the 2024 DEN Award event in Jakarta, Tuesday, December 10, stated that the 29 locations had been categorized based on safe criteria for the construction of PLTN facilities.
"One must be free from (potential) tsunamis, two are far from vulcano, three are far from faults. The fault is there are earthquake lines, it must be at least 5 kilometers," he said, quoted from Antara.
The following is a complete list of 29 potential locations for PLTN to be built:
- Pangkalan Susu, Sumatera Utara- Tanjung Balai, North Sumatra- Batam, Riau Islands- Bintan, Riau Islands- West Bangka Belitung Islands- Central Bangka Bangka Belitung Islands- South Bangka Bangka, Bangka Belitung Islands- Bojanegara, Banten- Muria, Central Java- Gerokgak, Bali- Sambas, West Kalimantan- Semesa Island, West Kalimantan- Gosong Beach, West Kalimantan-West Muara Pawan, West Kalimantan- Frantimur, West Kalimantan-West Keramat Jaya, West Kalimantan-Kendawangan, West Kalimantan-black Water, West Kalimantan-West Kualajelai, West Kalimantan-Satta, East Kalimantan-Samboja, East Kalimantan-Navy Babulu, East Kalimantan-Morowali, Central Sulawesi-Muna, Southeast Sulawesi-Toari, Southeast Sulawesi-Tan Tenggara-Tanjung Kobul, Maluku- Teluk Bintuni, West Papua-Timika, Central Papua-Merauke, South Papua
Furthermore, Agus stated that the reason Indonesia needs PLTN is as a balancer of the electricity system to achieve clean carbon by 2060, does not require large land, small accident frequencies, and contributes to support economic growth above 8 percent as targeted by President Prabowo.
"Without a nuclear, we will not be able to grow our economy by (8 percent)," said the member of the DEN from the stakeholder element.
Furthermore, to support the fulfillment of a fairly large energy requirement by 2040, as well as support national development plans and national energy policies.
Previously, the government stated that it would immediately build an on-grid nuclear power generation facility (PLTN) of 250 megawatts by 2032 according to the target set in the revised draft of the Government Regulation (PP) on the agreed National Energy Policy (KEN).
To realize this, it is necessary to develop human resources (HR), as well as choose a clearing technology scheme, which includes a small modular reactor (SMR), a high-temperature gas cooler reactor (HTGR) or a museum.
