As part of the US$24 billion (S$31.6 billion) project, Australian solar project developer Sun Cable will build a massive solar farm in the southern region of Darwin, the state capital city of Australia’s Northern Territory. Electricity generated will be transmitted to Singapore via 4,300km of subsea cables.
This is an interesting project to watch — international, transoceanic delivery of renewable energy. Sounds like the project just passed a technical and commercial viability stage gate and off ramps are still on the horizon, but it seems to have some momentum.
Atlassian co-counder Mike Cannon-Brookes is behind the project, maybe trying to prove that not all billionaires are bad. This article gives some background on business of the project and Cannon-Brookes involvement.
