Rosatom Presents Its Solutions at the Asia Nuclear Business Platform 2025 Conference in Indonesia

Rosatom representatives took part in the Asia Nuclear Business Platform 2025 (ANBP) conference, which concluded on December 11, 2025, in Jakarta, Indonesia. This year, the forum was held with the support of Indonesia’s National Energy Council (Dewan Energi Nasional, DEN), the body responsible for shaping the country’s long-term energy development policy.

The event brought together representatives of government authorities from ASEAN countries, energy companies, and international experts to discuss the role of nuclear energy in the ASEAN region.

Anna Belokoneva, Head of Rosatom’s Country Office in Indonesia, delivered a presentation entitled “Comprehensive Energy Solutions from the World’s Leading Exporter of Nuclear Power Plants.” In her speech, she emphasized that the energy solutions offered by Rosatom to Indonesia and other countries in the region will not only support government plans to include nuclear power in the energy mix, but will also make a significant contribution to socio-economic development and help achieve declared decarbonization goals.

Special attention was paid to Indonesia’s plans to commission its first commercial nuclear power plant as early as 2032. According to Anna Belokoneva, Rosatom offers Indonesia a full range of solutions, from infrastructure development to human resource training and engagement of local industry. A particular focus of the presentation was placed on floating power units (FPUs) as a new and efficient solution to energy supply challenges in remote areas, large-scale mining projects, and energy-intensive industrial facilities.

“Rosatom offers Indonesia and all ASEAN countries advanced energy and non-energy solutions that fully meet their needs and growing plans for the deployment of nuclear energy,” the speaker noted.

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 Floating Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP), located in the city of Pevek in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, is the world’s only operating floating small nuclear power plant and the northernmost nuclear heat and power plant in the world. Its commissioning in May 2020 marked a breakthrough in ensuring sustainable development for Russia’s remote territories. The FNPP includes the floating power unit Akademik Lomonosov with two KLT-40S reactor units, providing electric and thermal energy with a capacity of 70 MW and 50 Gcal/h, respectively, as well as onshore infrastructure designed to deliver electricity and heat from the floating unit to consumers. In addition to electricity generation, the FNPP supplies heat to the city of Pevek.

Indonesia’s plans to include nuclear power plants in its generation capacity are set out in the National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN 2025–2045), as well as in Government Regulation No. 40 of 2014.
