Southeast Asian city-state Singapore will receive one-fifth of its future from the Australian Solar Park. The fifth continent becomes the navel of the sun of the world.

In the Southeast Asian city-state of Singapore, 7,800 people enter a square meter. In the Netherlands, the population density is only 500. In fact, there are many more per square meter because industrial, waste incineration plants, cultural and government buildings and power plants also use the space. This makes it difficult for the government to achieve the decorbonization goal. Solar panels on the facade and roofs of tall buildings and small wind turbines make only a small contribution to the power supply. It is not surprising that the city-state gets 95% of its electricity from natural gas power plants.
Moroccan electricity to Great Britain
The longest underwater cable in the world
But now Australia’s help is coming closer to the “Australia-Asia Powerlink” project, which is becoming the world’s solar energy label. Beginning in 2026, Singapore will gradually offset up to 20% of its electricity from the southeastern state of the country. Sun Cable Management, a company based in Australia and now based in Singapore, thinks only of exaggeration. At 4,200 km, it will form the world’s longest underwater cable between the northern Australian port city of Darwin and Singapore, with direct current flowing at the highest voltage. High voltage direct current (HVDC) is the name of the technology, which brings the electricity collected from solar generators to a voltage of 800,000 volts – the decision on the magnitude of the voltage is still pending. HVDC cable. At the target, the power is switched back on and off to the local network.
Darwin also gets one
The company is developing an area near the village of Elliott, 120 km south of Darwin2 The world’s largest solar park, surrounded by the world’s largest battery. Electricity is transmitted to Darwin via an 800 km long HVDC cable. An area is subdivided here to cater to the city. A local battery ensures that the same power is always available – solar and wind power can be used for basic loads. The remaining, impressive 3.2 GW will then be shipped to Singapore and delivered to the grid. To be on the safe side, here is also a buffer battery.

Electricity goes out at night as well
The power park near Elliott will have a maximum output of 17 GW to 20 GW, with a battery capacity of 36 GWh to 42 GWh acting as a buffer. Although the sky is cloudy it is rarely in this place, and even at night, it ensures that electricity is delivered reliably on the HVDC cable.
Australian hydrogen for German energy conversion
Silicon solar modules will be manufactured at the new factory in Darwin. It uses a special technology called Maverick, developed by the Australian company 5B. Solar cells can be mounted flat as the sun’s rays fall at a steep angle north of Australia’s equator. In the factory, 16 blocks, each set in four rows, are completely wired. There are hinges between them so that they are folded like the bellows of an accordion for transport. On target, they are disassembled and loaded onto prepared platforms. Three workers manage a peak of 1 MW per week (output of the solar module achieved by peak solar radiation).
Maverick volumes for Silicon
AES Andes, a Chilean company based in Santiago, has invested in 5B so that the technology can be brought into serial production. Maverick blocks are also to be installed in Chile.
Electricity demand in Southeast Asia is projected to increase by 6% per year. Sun Cable expects other customers to be interested in solar power from Australia.
