World’s biggest clean energy project to power Singapore from Australia

Posted on by

The planned Australia-Asia PowerLink project is nearly 10 times the size of the world's current largest solar power installation

A colossal US$22-billion infrastructure project will send Australian sunshine more than 3,100 miles (5,000 km) to Singapore, via high-voltage undersea cables. Opening in 2027, it’ll be the largest solar farm and battery storage facility in history.
