Australia Approves $20 Billion Solar Project by Mike Cannon-Brookes to Export Power to Singapore
Aug 21, 2024, 02:59 AM
Australia has approved the nation's largest renewable energy project, the $20 Billion Sun Cable Australia-Asia Power Link, spearheaded by tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes. The project involves constructing a 10 gigawatt solar farm over 12,400 hectares in the Northern Territory. It aims to produce enough electricity to power three million homes. The generated solar power will be transported to Darwin via an 800-kilometre overhead transmission line and then exported to Singapore through a subsea cable. The initiative, described as the 'largest solar precinct in the world,' is expected to deliver up to 6 gigawatts of green electricity to industrial customers in Darwin and Singapore, while creating thousands of jobs. The project's environmental approval marks a significant step in Australia's renewable energy transition.
