    [JAKARTA] Singapore’s green energy ambitions are set to power up, with seven consortiums exploring renewable-energy projects in Indonesia, and leveraging expanded industrial zones and strengthened bilateral partnerships to drive growth and clean energy leadership in the region.

    In a recent interview with The Business Times, Singapore’s ambassador to Indonesia Kwok Fook Seng disclosed that these consortiums are actively exploring opportunities to set up onshore renewable-energy assembly facilities in Indonesia, and aiming to export clean energy to Singapore.

    This development aligns with Indonesia’s stringent local content regulations, which require foreign investors to build local assembly operations for renewable energy infrastructure.
