Show Notes
Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, are reviving nuclear power plans to meet surging energy demands, particularly from AI data centers. Vietnam is advancing deals with Russia for two plants, Indonesia plans small modular reactors by 2034, and Thailand targets six hundred megawatts by 2037. The Philippines aims for two thousand thirty-two. Data centers, with over two thousand already in the region, are a significant driver. Malaysia, with investments from tech giants, plans to become the regions AI hub. Rising oil prices add urgency for stable, low-emission power. This aligns with a global shift, where nearly forty countries aim to triple nuclear capacity by 2050. Safety worries persist, but the regions push reflects a serious hunt for energy security amid finite fossil fuels and exploding demand.
