    I guess Singapore doesn't have the land to install enough solar to do the job, so it has to import the power. It's in their peak daytime period when they need extra power.
    I mean, they are so resource-poor they import their water from Malaysia.

    They have no resources. We went over for work to do some stuff with them, they were saying their countries resources is people. I'm not sure if they put them on watt bikes or something.

    ... And turned what used to be part of their port into a freshwater reservoir in case Malaysia turns off the taps.

    Malaysia is turning the water off I think around 2030 but singapore will be self sufficient well before then. And sand is a strategic asset, I lived there for 5 years (2007-12) and there were massive piles of white sand out around Changi that they used to import from Indonesia until it was band due to environmental concerns.

    World's largest renewable energy project proposed for north-west Australia ditches electricity in favour of ammonia exports

    World'''s largest renewable energy project proposed for north-west Australia ditches electricity in favour of ammonia exports - ABC News

    An international green energy company planning to build the world's largest wind-and-solar power generator in the Australian outback, has ditched plans to send electricity through thousands of kilometres of undersea cables to Singapore, despite receiving environmental approvals.

    The Asian Renewable Energy Hub is now hoping instead to use the proposed facility, to be located in the north West Australian desert, to produce ammonia for export instead of electricity.

    Interesting to note one of the big wigs in the undersea cable is now the boss of the WA worlds biggest ever Green power/ ammonia/ hydrogen project ....

    Her chat about the under sea cable and why it WAS a good idea at the time was fascinating. It changed and reasons are just as interesting I felt.

    Have a listen perhaps Giga-watt it takes to scale green hydrogen (and ammonia) - Alicia Eastman of InterContinental Energy - Everything About Hydrogen | Podcast on Spotify
