SINGAPORE - Singapore could soon be given the green light to import 1 gigawatt (GW) of renewable energy yearly from Cambodia.
The new deal would be the Republic’s largest cross-border electricity contract to date, making up a quarter of the nation’s low-carbon electricity import target by 2035, and about 8 per cent of the entire country’s needs that year.
The Energy Market Authority (EMA) said on Thursday that electricity retailer Keppel Energy has received conditional approval to import hydropower, solar and potentially wind power from Cambodia’s Royal Group Power Company via new subsea cables that would transmit the electricity over more than 1,000km.
The 1GW of electricity when supplied over a year, which can power all households here (about 1.4 million) annually, could potentially be scaled up to include renewable energy sources from Laos as well.
The approval will be finalised after Keppel has conducted further studies on its viability and secures regulatory approvals from the relevant governments
If the project continues to meet the agency’s requirements and conditions, it will eventually be granted a conditional licence, followed by a full importer licence, EMA added.
The Republic has a target of importing 4GW of low-carbon electricity by 2035, which will make up about 30 per cent of Singapore’s projected energy supply in the same year.
