据离岸工程7月7日消息称，澳大利亚计划建设世界上最大的太阳能项目，通过海底电缆连接东南亚。

总部位于新加坡的太阳电缆公司提议在澳大利亚Tenant Creek附近建设一座10吉瓦的太阳能发电厂，通过海底高压直流电缆将电力直接出口到新加坡。

雷斯塔能源表示，拟议中的可再生能源项目将提供新加坡五分之一的电力需求。

就规模而言，澳大利亚唯一一个类似规模的太阳能项目是亚洲可再生能源中心，该中心计划向皮尔巴拉地区提供地区负荷，并为国际和国内市场提供绿色氢气。

澳大利亚北部政府也支持该计划，并正在制定环境审批申请。

据消息人士透露，该项目将向达尔文和海外输出电力到新加坡。

太阳电缆公司表示，传输能力将达到2.5吉瓦，电力将通过3800公里的高压直流海底电缆传输，以满足这个城市国家20%的电力需求。

Sun Cable Eyes World’s Biggest Solar Project

World's largest solar project proposed in Australia, connected to South East Asia via subsea cable.

Singapore-based Sun Cable has proposed a 10 GW solar farm near Tenant Creek in Australia, with facilities to export electricity via a subsea High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cable straight to Singapore.

Rystad Energy said that the proposed renewable energy project will provide one fifth of Singapore’s electricity needs.

In terms of size, the only solar project of a similar scale in Australia is the Asian Renewable Energy Hub which plans to supply a regional load to the Pilbara region, as well as green hydrogen for both international and domestic markets.

Australia’s Northern Territory government is on board with the plans and an environmental approval application is in the works.

According to sources, the project would export electricity to Darwin and overseas to Singapore.

Sun Cable said that the transmission capacity would stand at 2.5 GW and power would be transported via 3,800 km of high voltage direct current submarine cables to meet 20% of the city state’s power demand.
