Singapore Ramps Up ASEAN Supergrid Drive with Bold Cross-Border Energy Plans

Singapore is emerging as a key driver of the ASEAN supergrid, using its financial strength to secure green energy imports and enhance regional integration, Bloomberg reports. The island nation aims to import 6GW of low-carbon electricity by 2035, up from nearly zero today. Recent projects include subsea solar links from Indonesia, hydropower imports from Malaysia, and offshore wind transmission from Vietnam. Singapore also began importing electricity from Laos in 2022 and backs the massive US$20 billion SunCable project from Australia.

With limited land for renewables, Singapore is investing in complex cross-border infrastructure via a dedicated state-linked agency. Its efforts are being hailed as a “champion” move in advancing the long-stalled ASEAN Power Grid. Experts believe these bilateral deals lay vital groundwork for full regional integration by 2045. – Bloomberg
