The world’s largest solar power project is being launched in Australia, which will also provide electricity to Singapore.
According to the foreign news agency AFP, Australia has approved an extensive solar and battery farm project to export energy to Singapore, which has been described as ‘the world’s largest solar area’.
The project, billed as the world’s largest solar field, was initially introduced by Australian celebrity Andrew Forrest and Atlassian co-founder Mike Cannon-Brooks, but the deal fell apart last year amid controversy, with the project now being managed by Mike Cannon alone. Brooks is supported.
Under the project, the Australian company ‘Sun Cable’ will build a solar energy farm on an area of 30,000 acres in which electricity will be obtained by installing solar panels. The project will also include a cable connecting Australia to Singapore, including panels and batteries .
According to the report, 3 million homes will be electrified through this USD 24 billion project.
According to the report, the project will start generating electricity by 2030. The Sun Cable Project will generate 6 GW of electricity annually, of which 4 GW will be provided for domestic use.
On the other hand, another 2 gigawatts of power from the project will be sent to Singapore through an undersea cable, which will meet about 15 percent of the needs there.
According to Australia’s environment minister, it will be the largest solar area in the world.
