Pathway to Singapore's solar development

Singapore could import large quantities of low-cost solar power from neighbouring countries using undersea cables, with the indicative cost being competitive with gas generation. Unlimited world-class pumped hydro energy storage is available in neighbouring countries in the range 50-5000 GWh to support very large scale transmission. Singapore is a city-state with large economic activity, large energy use and large population density (8,000 people per km2). Only about 10% of Singapore's energy needs could be met by local solar. There is no wind or hydro potential, and opportunities for offshore ...
