Singapore’s Tuas Power signed MOU with Marubeni Global Indonesia (MGI) to import a total of 600 MW green energy before 2027 which will be enough to power about 730,000 households.
MGI will build solar power plants which cost 9 billion dollars on an island near Batam from 2024. MGI managing director Tjaw Hioeng said the first phase of construction will kick off in March 2024 on Galang Island, which is south of Batam and part of Riau Islands province. “Our Singapore partner requires the electricity to be connected to the grid by the end of 2027,” he said, adding that the power will be transported through undersea cables.
