Bangka Belitung nuclear power plant is a 2,000 MW nuclear power station in Bangka Belitung Islands, Indonesia. It is operated by PT PLN (Persero) [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 4.5 million homes (estimated). It ranks #19 of 401 Indonesia power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, nuclear supplies about 0.0% of Indonesia's electricity; the national grid averages 680 gCO₂/kWh (18.1% low-carbon) (2024).
