Australia's Nuclear Future, page-511

The timeline for the largest solar farm in the country is faster than the nuclear powerplant.

SunCable just got their environmental approval through. This is a massive plan that will see solar power exported from Darwin to Singapore.
As crazy as it sounds, it is still more viable than any nuclear plan.

SunCable, the mega renewable energy project backed by billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes, has secured in principle environmental approval from the NT Government and NT Environment Protection Authority for its flagship Australia-Asia Power Link project.

The project, which plans to include the world’s largest solar plant, battery, and longest undersea power cable, will now enter the next phase of development, though the project remains some way from materialising.

SunCable Australia’s managing director Cameron Garnsworthy said this decision is a major milestone that provides significant momentum to the project.

“This approval allows us to progress the development, commercial, and engineering activities required to advance the project to the Final Investment Decision targeted in 2027,” said Mr Garnsworthy.

SunCable has grand plans, which if delivered would be a defining moment for Mr Cannon-Brookes – who has taken a prominent role in leading Australia’s energy transition through his advocacy stake in AGL Energy and clean energy investments via his private investment company, Grok.

In its first iteration, SunCable has plans to deliver 900MW of green power to industrial customers in Darwin, with a further 1.75GW via an expansion. The project aims to supply 1.75GW of electricity to Singapore by an undersea cable stretching more than 4,000KM.
