Malaysia’s Sarawak will soon commence formal talks with Indonesian government regarding the proposed undersea cables for transmitting electricity from Sarawak to Singapore. This project will run through Indonesian waters, as stated by Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Tun Openg.
Sarawak plans to export up to 1,000 MW of renewable energy to Singapore via 700 km of submarine cables, with approximately 70% of the cables will be laid under the Indonesian water.
Abang Johari said state-owned Sarawak Energy Bhd (SEB) and its partners, Sembcorp Industries and Singapore Power Group, have completed technical studies and are well advanced in the commercial negotiations for a potential interconnection with Singapore.
