Australia is fast-tracking the approval process for a $16 billion project to export solar power to Singapore.

Operated by Singapore-based Sun Cable, the Australia-ASEAN Power Link project intends to supply solar power to Singapore and eventually Indonesia via the world’s longest subsea high voltage cable, Reuters reported.

As per the news report, it would consist of a 2,800-mile cable linked to a 10-gigawatt solar farm as well as an energy storage facility of up to 30 GWh in the Northern Territory.
