If You Want Green Power In Southeast Asia, Singapore Is The Place to Be.

 Via oilprice.com:

Long reliant on gas to meet its energy needs, Singapore is now turning to regional interconnections, primarily via subsea cables, to link national grids and enable cross-border electricity trade. This shift aims to accelerate decarbonization and decouple domestic electricity prices from global gas market volatility. Research from Rystad Energy indicates that if all proposed interconnections to Singapore are realized, they could unlock up to 25 gigawatts (GW) of renewable and energy storage projects worth more than $40 billion in investment across the region, spanning hydropower, solar and offshore wind.

Singapore is well-positioned to become a green power hub, serving as a central node for regional interconnections with cross-border neighboring nations. Importing electricity through the regional grid presents a cost-effective solution for the island-nation and could result in emissions reductions of up to 13 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO?e) per year if all projects are realized. Beyond the clear decarbonization potential, this approach would also enhance Singapore’s energy resilience by providing access to a more diversified and cleaner energy supply, supporting the country’s long-term sustainability goals.
