Singapore continues talks with Australia’s Sun Cable, even with 4 GW of clean energy imports in the bag

SOME 20 companies including Asian and European energy giants, as well as Australia’s Sun Cable, still have a shot at snagging Singapore’s coveted import licence for clean energy, even though the city-state has hit its 4 gigawatt (GW) import target via conditional nods.

Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA), which has been soliciting ideas to buy low-carbon electricity from the region and abroad for some three years now, said it remains open to engaging companies that submitted their plans under a process that closed in end-2023.

“We remain open to receiving good proposals... and to continue discussions with relevant governments. We will also continue our discussions with companies that have submitted proposals,” said an EMA spokesperson in response to The Business Times’ queries.
