Remote villages, like Chile Village, rely solely on solar panels donated by volunteers, emphasizing the need for off-grid solutions. However, due to the archipelago's vast and rugged terrain, building extensive renewable infrastructure remains a logistical challenge—costly and complex, especially for energy transmission across more than 17,000 islands.

Why Nuclear? A Stable Energy Source

Given the limitations of renewable energy, nuclear power emerges as a potential solution for Indonesia. Unlike solar and wind, nuclear plants provide a steady, reliable supply of electricity, crucial for industrial stability and energy security. Nuclear's high capacity factor makes it an attractive option to meet rising demands, particularly if the country plans to phase out coal.
