Singapore may start importing 2 GW of renewable energy annually from Indonesia within five years. These imports would account for about 15% of its annual needs, marking the country’s largest-ever cross-border electricity deal.
Combined with a similar deal granting conditional approval to import 1 GW of electricity annually from Cambodia,Singapore is three-quarters of the way toward achieving its import goal of up to 4 GW of electricity a year by 2035.
The Energy Market Authority (EMA) announced on September 8 that it was granting conditional approval to five projects to import a total of 2 GW of low-carbon electricity from Indonesia into the city state.
