Abstract

Net zero emission ambition of Indonesian Government has strongly announcement to the public which is in line with the Paris Agreement that has been signed and ratified with other 164 countries across the globe to fulfil their commitment to reduce the greenhouse gas effect for their energy program which has the environmentally friendly energy sources. The government of Indonesia has stated that the new and renewable energy (NRE) should be utilized at least 23% by 2025 and 31% by 2050, as well as the net zero emission target in 2060 which only 100% of NRE for energy sector especially for power plant. In 2060, the estimated total demand market of about 1800 TWh which is consist of about 300 TWh of electric demand in the present status which will be required additional new energy supply of about 1500 TWh. This new additional energy which is about five times larger than the present energy which leads to more energy resources and alternative energy supplies are required. Meanwhile, fossil fuels as main producer will be reduced and NRE will be utilized more and it is increased gradually to maintain the energy demand as well as reducing the CO2 emission to the net zero target. In the present study, the contribution of each energy resources especially for the contribution of nuclear power plant (NPP) will be evaluated as a part of national energy mix. As announced by the national electric company (PLN) of Indonesia that NPP is estimated to be online in the national energy mix in 2040 by 10 GWe and it will be increasing gradually up to 2060.
