SunCable's Mega Solar Project Gets Green Light to Power Singapore via Undersea Cables
  • SunCable's Australia-Asia Power Link project has received environmental approval to proceed.

  • The project aims to supply solar energy to Singapore through undersea cables.

  • It involves building a massive solar farm in Australia's Northern Territory with a capacity of up to 10 gigawatts.

  • An 800-km transmission line will be constructed to export renewable energy to Singapore.

  • SunCable plans to supply 4GW of green electricity to Darwin and eventually export 1.75 GW to Singapore.

  • The project faces challenges in negotiating land use and securing financing.

  • If successful, clean electricity supply is expected to begin in the early 2030s.

  • The ultimate goal is to generate up to 20 GW of solar power and have significant battery storage capacity.
