SunCable receives major Commonwealth Government environmental approval for flagship project

22 Aug 2024 8:50 AM | Anonymous

SunCable has announced that the Australia-Asia Power Link (AAPowerLink) has received environmental approval from the Commonwealth Government under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.

This follows last month's approval of the project by the Northern Territory Government under the Environment Protection (EP) Act (2019).

These approvals enable SunCable to proceed with the next phases of development to deliver industrial-scale electricity to customers in Darwin and Singapore.

AAPowerLink is one of the largest energy infrastructure projects to receive EPBC Act approval, covering a project footprint approximately 2,000km long, stretching from the heart of the Northern Territory to the Australian and Indonesian maritime border.

Through its flagship AAPowerLink project, SunCable aims to supply power to both Darwin and Singapore by harnessing, storing, and transmitting renewable energy sourced from the Northern Territory of Australia.

AAPowerLink is set to attract large-scale investment and global talent to Australia, further solidifying the country’s standing as a global leader in renewable energy technology.

A Final Investment Decision (FID) on the project is anticipated in 2027, with electricity supply expected to begin in the early 2030s.
