    UP until a week ago, clean energy startup Sun Cable’s biggest challenge was deemed to be the monumental task of laying subsea cables that would stretch over 4,200 km to ship sunshine from the Australian outback to Singapore by snaking through Indonesian waters.

    The company’s marquee A$30 billion project – a mammoth intercontinental undertaking called the Australia-Asia PowerLink – was branded audacious for its scale.

    Sun Cable was aspiring to build the world’s largest solar farm and battery storage project near Elliott, a small town in Australia’s Northern Territory. The plan aimed to send solar power to Darwin and then across to Singapore via the undersea cable.
