Australia Approves World's Largest Solar Farm with Asia Power Link
The $20 billion project will transmit renewable energy from Australia to Singapore, promoting regional cooperation and decarbonization.
- The solar farm will span 47 square miles in Australia's outback and generate enough electricity for 3 million homes.
- A 2,670-mile subsea cable will deliver up to six gigawatts of green electricity annually to Singapore.
- The project is part of broader efforts to reduce fossil fuel dependency and foster peace in Southeast Asia.
- Environmental approval marks a major regulatory milestone, with electricity supply expected to begin in the early 2030s.
- The initiative mirrors post-WWII European cooperation and aims to position Australia as a renewable energy leader.
