On October 22, the Singapore government announced the conditional approval for the import of low-carbon energy from Australia, giving the green light to a 4,300-kilometer undersea cable project connecting the two countries. This confirmation highlights the project's technical and commercial viability, with operations expected to begin as early as 2035.

The Energy Market Authority (EMA) of Singapore, responsible for the review, stated that developers must update their proposals to formally obtain conditional approval and enter the development phase. This includes presenting a commercially viable and customer-acceptable pricing structure, as well as securing approvals from the countries through which the cable will pass, including Indonesia's waters.
