Jakarta (ANTARA News/Asia Pulse) - The province of Gorontalo in northern Sulawesi is set to build Indonesia's first nuclear power plant.
Gorontalo Governor Fadel Muhammad said a company owned by the provincial administration will team up with a Russian-based firm to build a 70 megawatt nuclear power plant, starting next year.
The nuclear plant will deal with a shortage in power supply in that province, said Muhammad. The National Atomic Power Agency (BATAN) said a tender for a unit of the nuclear power project will be held in 2008, with construction set to start in 2010 for completion in 2016.
