The Government of Singapore to issue approvals to import 1.4 GW of low-carbon energy from Indonesia

The Government of Singapore has announced plans to issue new conditional approvals (CAs) to import 1.4 GW of low-carbon electricity from Indonesia. This power will be generated from two solar plants, developed by the consortia of TotalEnergies-RGE and Shell-Vena, with a combined project value of approximately USD20 billion.

The electricity will be transmitted via a shared subsea transmission cable and will be supported by a battery energy storage system (BESS). This move builds on previous approvals in 2023 for importing 2 GW of low-carbon electricity from Indonesia, aimed at boosting Singapore’s clean energy supply.
