Complementing these provisions, the Pioneer NPP will be automatically certified as an Energy Project of National Significance, giving it access to incentives and fast-track processing.

BRICS countries account for almost a third of the world’s operating NPPs and more than 70% of NPPs under construction. By 2030, they will account for at least two-thirds of the global NPP fleet.

Russian-origin crude liftings from Russian ports reached 3.88 million b/d, the highest since April 2024,

China, which accounts for around 40% of Indonesia's thermal coal exports at around 150 million mt/year, is a major price setter in the seaborne market, and domestic prices are often influenced by import prices.

A pro-nuclear stance would continue the policies of previous administrations, which have pushed to build new units and restart reactors idled after the 2011 Fukushima disaster.

The contract, worth CNY4.2bn ($594m), was awarded to a joint group of companies, China Energy Engineering Jiangsu Electric Power Construction No 3 Company and China National Nuclear Huachen Construction Engineering Company. They will build the nuclear islands, their auxiliary systems and part of the equipment for the balance of the station.
