Indonesia greenlights route for $22b Australian solar power project

The project aims to transmit renewable electricity from Australia to Singapore.

The Indonesian government has agreed to allow the Australia-Asia PowerLink to be routed through Indonesian waters and has approved a subsea survey permit.

Developed by Sun Cable, the AAPowerLink will connect Australia and Singapore via what would become the world’s largest renewable electricity transmission network.

The $22b project aims to generate, store and transmit renewable electricity from Australia to Singapore and will be capable of providing up to 15% of Singapore’s electricity needs starting from 2028.

Sun Cable will integrate a range of technologies and infrastructure in the AAPowerLink, including one of the world’s largest solar farms to be located in the Northern Territory, Australia (17-20GWp); the world’s largest battery (36-42GWh); and the world’s longest undersea High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cable system from Darwin to Singapore (approx 4,200km).

The project will also see $2.58b invested in Indonesia.

“This is a significant milestone for the AAPowerLink and brings us closer to transmitting affordable, dispatchable renewable energy to Singapore, via the world’s largest renewable energy transmission network. Sun Cable is proud to be engaging with many of Singapore’s progressive companies, which have embraced sustainability, and we also look forward to continuing to work across Singapore, Indonesia and Australia to deliver this project,” chief executive officer of Sun Cable David Griffin said.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
