The 1GW of electricity imports can power up about 1.4 million households for a year.

The new deal would be the Republic’s largest cross-border electricity contract to date, making up a quarter of the nation’s low-carbon electricity import target by 2035, and about 8 per cent of the entire country’s needs that year.

The deal will be finalised after Keppel has conducted further studies on its viability and secured regulatory approvals from the relevant governments. Speaking at the signing ceremony for the power purchase agreement between the two countries, Second Minister for Trade and Industry Tan See Leng said the transmission cables, at more than 1,000km, will be South-east Asia’s longest cross-border subsea cables when ready.

Pumped storage hydropower typically involves two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other, passing through a turbine.A spokesman for Keppel Infrastructure told The Straits Times that the renewable energy will be transmitted through power lines and subsea high-voltage transmission cables from Cambodia to Singapore, and is assessed to be commercially and technically feasible.

Noting that the project would be a significant milestone for Singapore’s electricity import target, EMA said it had preliminarily assessed the project to be technically and commercially viable, and it meets the agency’s carbon emission requirements.
