The project to transmit solar power from Australia to Singapore has been revived more than 20 months after Sun Cable went into voluntary administration.
New: You can now listen to articles.SINGAPORE: Singapore has granted conditional approval to Sun Cable to import 1.75 gigawatt of low-carbon electricity from Australia to Singapore.
The amount of renewable energy imported represents about 15 per cent of Singapore’s total electricity needs, the company added. Sun Cable must update its proposal to meet EMA's conditions before the project can be considered for a conditional licence. Speaking at the Asia Clean Energy Summit on Tuesday, Second Minister for Trade and Industry Tan See Leng called the proposal"an ambitious project", given the scale and the distance between Australia and Singapore.The company said the cables will be laid through Indonesian waters.
"We firmly believe that high voltage long-distance subsea cables are critical to the global energy transition, connecting high-yield renewable energy areas like northern Australia to high-demand centres such as Singapore," he said.
