The World Nuclear Supply Chain 2026 Conference, co-organised by the World Nuclear Association (WNA) and the Department of Energy (DoE) of the Philippines, highlighted the growing interest in nuclear power among several Asean member countries. Among these countries, Vietnam and Indonesia are leading the way in their nuclear power ambitions.
Vietnam plans to have 4GW of nuclear capacity by 2034 and 14GW by 2050, while Indonesia aims to generate 8GW by 2035, 21GW by 2050, and between 50-60GW by 2060. The SEA Nuclear Energy Outlook also notes that other Asean countries, such as Mongolia, Myanmar, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, and Sri Lanka, are either planning or considering nuclear activities.
