With major regulatory approval in place, the path has been cleared for the next phase of development for a project that will harness and store renewable energy from Australia and transmit it to Singapore via a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system.

The Australia-Asia Power Link (AAPowerLink) includes the development of what is said to be the world’s biggest integrated renewable energy and battery storage facility in the Barkly region of Australia’s Northern Territory which could over multiple stages have a capacity of up to 6 GW of renewable energy to Darwin and Singapore.
