Interesting project.
I wonder if the implications/effects of reflected radiation have ever been calculated/modelled based on such a highly reflective surface area.

Politically speaking, it might be good if Australia had the ability to turn off 20% of Singapore's power supply at any time. Might cause them to be nicer to us.
This just doesn’t make sense to me. You want cheap solar power in the peak demand period typically when people come home late afternoon early evening.
WA has no time zone differential with Singapore. It’s getting dark here when it gets dark there. This alternates also more so than Singapore since they are on the equator and get even daylight hours through the year.
That’s one big heavy and expensive subsea cable/s in some of the deepest ocean through Indo also to carry the power.
On the other hand - a cheaper surface cable overland to the east coast NEM grid gives 2-3 hours of sunlight advantage to the East Coast late afternoon peak demand period given the sun sets in the West. From 3pm onward the East Coast is getting the full blast of the midday WA sun.
I just don’t get the logic of this heavily touted Singapore connection unless their power demand is flatter than ours during the mid day.
Its got me stumped how they can get a good enough business case to run it with 4500km of undersea cabling, but it can't stack up with 1-2000km of overland cabling to service our own east coast... Maybe its not a level playing field...
