Jamesc Hypersonic July 19, 2022 Share July 19, 2022 Before OZ supplies to the rest of the world they should use solar for their own country first and see if they can do it or not. Quote The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) recently revealed that the wholesale cost of electricity in the National Electricity Market (NEM) for the first three months of 2022 has increased by 141% compared to the same quarter last year Quote Australia power crisis forces manufacturers to eye offshore moves, production cuts Quote Australia's biggest building materials manufacturers are cutting back operations, hiking prices and considering moving production offshore to manage a spike in power and gas bills, adding to pressure on the government to resolve the country's energy crisis. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didu Turbocharged July 19, 2022 Share July 19, 2022 (edited) Solar power from OZ not the only option. Indonesia plans giant solar power projects for Singapore SOLAR power developers are finally tapping into Indonesia's rich potential to generate power from the sun, but the biggest beneficiary of their proposed projects will be the archipelago's wealthy neighbour Singapore. Singapore wants to import 30 per cent of its energy via clean power by 2035 and plans to decide by the end of this year on 1.4 gigawatts of projects. Indonesia is emerging as a key provider after Singapore's other neighbour Malaysia last year banned exports of renewable energy. These are some of the developments to transmit clean energy from Indonesia to Singapore that have been proposed so far: Quantum Power Asia and Ib Vogt GmbH are advancing a US$5 billion plan to construct a 3.5 gigawatt solar facility and 12 gigawatt-hour battery storage facility. Sunseap Group has signed non-binding agreements with companies including Sumitomo and Samsung C&T to build 7 gigawatts of solar power and 12 gigawatt-hours of battery storage. Sembcorp Industries, PT PLN Batam and PT Trisurya Mitra Bersama (Suryagen) signed an agreement to build a 1-gigawatt solar plant and large-scale energy storage system. Privately owned Medco Power Indonesia, PacificLight Power and Salim Group's Gallant Venture have agreed to develop a 670-megawatt solar plant to provide 100 megawatts of uninterrupted electricity to Singapore. Abu Dhabi's Masdar signed a memorandum of understanding with Singapore's Tuas Power, France's EDF Renewables and PT Indonesia Power to develop as much as 1.2 gigawatts of solar along with energy storage. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/energy-commodities/indonesia-plans-giant-solar-power-projects-for-singapore Edited July 19, 2022 by Didu 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we don’t have space but Indonesia has plenty of space. It’s crazy to even think about cabling all the way to Australia… 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitvip Supersonic July 19, 2022 Share July 19, 2022 OZ may be a good trading partner with SG, but, the main concern is the 4200 km of undersea cables. A neighbouring ASEAN country would make a better choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollagt 5th Gear July 19, 2022 Share July 19, 2022 Very bold plan. Hmm..me no expert in this, but having undersea cable doesn't it sound risky ? since Indonesia have earth quakes and the cable can be easily disrupted and damage. To be more extreme, if one day we no more close ties with Indonesia, they go out to the sea then chop the cable then ho say.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
