Sun Cable’s US$24 billion ($31.6 billion) Australia-Asia Power Link (AAPowerLink) project involves laying a 4,300km subsea power cable connecting a solar farm in Australia’s Northern Territory to Singapore via Indonesian waters.
Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) has granted conditional approval to Sun Cable to import 1.75 gigawatts (GW) of low-carbon electricity from Australia’s Northern Territory to Singapore, says Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Trade and Industry Tan See Leng.
Speaking at the Asia Clean Energy Summit (ACES) 2024 on Oct 22, Tan says Sun Cable will have to further validate its technical and commercial plans and secure all requisite approvals from the relevant jurisdictions — “including the countries through which the subsea cables will pass through”.
