Massive Australia-to-Singapore clean energy cable gets green light
The world's largest renewable energy and transmission project has received key approval from government officials. The Australia-Asia Power Link project will send Australian solar power to Singapore via 4,300 kilometer-long undersea cables.
The AAPowerLink project is being led by SunCable, and will start by constructing a mammoth solar farm in Australia's Northern Territory to transmit around-the-clock clean power to Darwin, and also export "reliable, cost-competitive renewable energy" to Singapore. The principal environmental approval recently obtained from the Northern Territory Government rubber stamps the building of a solar farm at Powell Creek with a clean energy generation capacity of up to 10 gigawatts, plus utility scale onsite storage. An overview graphic on the project page(reproduced above) shows that the eventual end game for the Powell Creek development appears to be the generation of up to 20 GW of peak solar power and have some 36-42 GWh of battery storage on site.
