Australia-Asia Power Link submarine cable project obtains environmental approval in Australia and represents a milestone in clean energy generation in the world
The largest renewable energy transmission project in the world has just received approval from environmental authorities in Australia. Known as the “Australia-Asia Power Link”, this revolutionary initiative aims to send solar energy from Australia to Singapore through a 4.300 kilometer long submarine cable. Led by SunCable, the project promises to transform the way renewable energy is transmitted and used, guaranteeing areliable and competitive energy source, according to the Olhar Digital website.
Details of the clean energy transmission project through the submarine cable
The Australia-Asia Power Link project is ambitious in its essence and scope. Below are the main points that make it stand out:
- Transmission of 1,75 GW of Clean Energy: Solar energy will be transmitted through 4.300 km of submarine cables, connecting Australia to Singapore.
- Construction of a Gigantic Solar Farm: In northern Australia, a solar farm will be built with the capacity to generate up to 10 gigawatts of energy.
- Line of 800km Aerial Transmission: In addition to the submarine cable, there will be an overhead transmission line, connecting Darwin station to the border with Indonesia.
- Energy Storage: The project also includes local storage capacity, aiming to increase the efficiency and reliability of energy supply.
Approval and next steps
The environmental approval granted allows SunCable begin installation of submarine cable from a station in Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory of Australia, extending to the border with Indonesia. Company director Cameron Garnsworthy emphasized that this approval is crucial to advancing the project's development, commercial and engineering activities.

However, there are still significant challenges ahead. SunCable needs to negotiate land use with local landowners, enter into agreements with other regulatory bodies and secure the necessary financial support for this ambitious venture.
Promising future for solar energy
Future plans for the project include expanding the generating capacity for 20 gigawatts of peak solar power and between 36 to 42 GWh of battery storage. This expansion will allow an even greater amount of clean energy to be transmitted efficiently and reliably. Electricity supply to Singapore is expected to begin early next decade, marking a significant step towards global sustainability.
The only thing missing was the video too skskskks, good article, overall
