Australia Will Have The Largest Solar Power Plant On The Planet. Submarine Cables Will Deliver Energy To Singapore
Singapore is a prosperous financial hub in Asia. However, the city-state has limited solar energy generation capacity. Because of this, local authorities have already invested in floating solar power plants for clean energy generation, but there is still a long and arduous path to clean energy generation and consequent reduction of carbon emissions.
Audacious Project
A report from New Aglas details the infrastructure project that aims to transport energy from solar farms in Australia over a distance of 5,000 km to Singapore. The project belongs to the Australian company Sun Cable, which plans to start transporting high voltage energy through submarine cables by 2027.
10 Times Larger Than The Largest Solar Farm In The World Today
Currently, the largest solar farm in the world is the Bhadla Solar Park, located in India. However, the Australia-Asia PowerLink project aims to comfortably surpass the Indian solar plant.

With a territory of 12,000 hectares, the Australian solar farm will be 10 times larger than the Indian solar farm. The structure will be so large that it will be visible from space. Due to the sunny days in the area, the farm will be capable of generating 17-20 gigawatts of peak power.

Energy will be transported from Australia to Singapore via high voltage submarine cables. The understanding is that the project will generate 15% of all energy consumed by Singapore. 15% is equivalent to a total of 3 million households in Singapore.
The giant solar energy farm project will enable Singapore to cut CO2 emissions by up to 11.5 million tons annually. The project is expected to begin construction in 2023, with a completion forecast of four years.
