3 gigawatts of energy will be transmitted to meet Singapore’s future electricity supply.

10 gigawatts is the total capacity of the solar farm when it is completely operational. It would be supported by 20-30 gigawatt-hours of storage facility.

3,800 km long high voltage direct current cable (overhead transmission lines) will be used to transmit the power to Singapore from the Australian desert.

15,000 hectares of land near Tennant Creek in Australia’s Northern Territory will cover the solar farm. That’s the area of estimated 7,500 football fields.

1/5 of Singapore’s electricity supply will be sourced from this project by Sun Cable. The company has not yet gone public on the economics of the project.

2023 is the year when the construction is estimated to be initiated and the commercial operation is expected to start by 2027.

1,000 jobs are expected to be created during the construction phase of the project, followed by 300 potential operational jobs.

Solaris, Elyon, Project Ego: 6 Superyachts That Challenge The Conventional







Autoplay Autoplay 1 of 7 Across The Seven Seas Superyacht concepts come in all sizes, shapes and technologies that challenge the conventional. Here are some of the exceptional ideas from the seven seas. Hydro-Swash It is the newest Swash concept from German shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen and flaunts a striking look. The yacht is designed to hover high above the waves instead of conventionally gliding through them. That’s likely to give you a ‘flying experience’ instead of sailing, even in stormy seas. Solaris The luxury motor yacht by Duffy London is powered by solar energy. Solaris’s power system uses its rest periods to maintain and keep the vessel fuelled and continues to top up while travelling. It can travel silently at great speed, irrespective of wind and weather conditions, while leaving a small carbon footprint. Elyon The design concept of Elyon by Demetrius and Dana Tanase (Expleo Design) is inspired by nature with a futuristic approach. The bow, the blending between decks, wide glass windows and the three structural elements from each side make it look like a superyacht. It has six decks, each with their own features and entertainment options including sunbath, jacuzzi, party place, dining space, gym, wellness area and casino room, and even an indoor pool. Project Ego The 36m superyacht catamaran concept by Mauro Giamboi found its design inspiration in Italian sports cars. It stretches over three decks and offers its guests all the spatial advantages associated with a multihull vessel. The catamaran has a top speed of 30 knots and houses a 12 sq mt swimming platform.

Australian technology billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes has recently announced that he would be investing in Singapore-based Sun Cable to create the world’s largest solar farm While the co-founder of the software company Atlassian is yet to reveal how much he is going to invest, the project would enable Singapore to get away from its reliance on imported liquid natural gas, and thereby achieve its greenhouse gas emissions goals. Here are a few interesting numbers of the project:Sun Cable is not the only mega-renewable energy export project on the drawing board in Australia. The 15GW Asian Renewable Energy Hub in Western Australia’s Pilbara has been under development since the year 2014.$13 billion is the estimated valuation of Sun Cable’s proposed solar farm. The company aims to develop the world’s largest solar energy farm to power Singapore from the Australian desert.
