'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. It also green lights an 800-km (~500-mile) overhead
transmission line between the solar precinct and Murrumujuk near Darwin.
A converter facility will convert electricity from high-voltage direct current
to high-voltage alternating current to supply Darwin – with the setup expected
to supply "up to 4GW of 24/7 green electricity to green industrial customers."
This will be rolled out over two stages, the first delivering 900 megawatts,
and then second adding a further 3 gigawatts.
The project also aims to convert another 1.75 GW of power from AC to DC and
send it through 4,300 km (over 2,670 miles) of subsea cabling to Singapore. The
environmental approval will allow the company to lay cable from Darwin
converter station past the end of Australian territorial waters and up to the
Indonesian border.'
