Embrace the Sun. Power the Future.

SunCable is developing
the next great Asia-Pacific infrastructure project.

SunCable's Australia-Asia PowerLink is a renewable generation and transmission project that aims to build a brighter, more sustainable future for Australian people and businesses. Australia's abundant renewable resources will be harnessed to support decarbonisation of the Northern Territory and Asia-Pacific region. They will power new green industries and cities, drive new economies and, support communities across the footprint of the project.

SunCable is working closely with governments and communities in Australia, Indonesia, and Singapore, and partnering with scientists, engineers, infrastructure experts and First Nations Traditional Land Owners to make the dream of a brighter, renewable energy future for the Asia-Pacific region a reality.

SunCable is owned by a consortium led by Grok Ventures. The AAPowerLink project is being developed by SunCable's executive leadership team.

Electricity demand in the Asia-Pacific is set to increase by 70 per cent by 20402

6GW

of 24/7 renewable energy to industrial customers in Darwin and Singapore

SunCable is set to provide:

SunCable intends to generate electricity from what it expects to be the world’s biggest integrated renewable energy zone intending to deliver to Darwin and 1.75GW to Singapore of renewable electricity 24/7

Underpinning the new green industries in Darwin

Up to 15 per cent of Singapore’s total electricity needs

Electricity demand in the Asia-Pacific is set to increase by 70 per cent by 20402 and more than double by 2050.

Asia-Pacific governments face extraordinary challenges in meeting demand in a sustainable way.

In their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the ParisAgreement, both Australia and Singapore set out to reach Net Zero emissions by 2050.  

Through its landmark projects, SunCable can support these initiatives through diversification of generation methods, carbon abatement at scale, and through building capacity in the Asia-Pacific for development of large-scale renewable energy infrastructure; including transcontinental cable technology.

A project like SunCable, which has the potential to export clean energy to Singapore, is the ultimate win-win.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, 18 October 2022

This is an exciting step forward to help us export clean, cheap renewables generated in Australia directly to South-East Asia ... the ASEAN grid has enormous potential and opportunities, and Australia, through projects like Suncable, is keen to play its role.

Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen, 22 October 2024

This massive project is a generation-defining piece of infrastructure... it will be the largest solar precinct in the world and heralds Australia as the world leader in green energy.

Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek, 21 August 2024

The NT Government is aiming for a $40 billion economy by 2030 to accelerate jobs and population growth ... SunCable’s project will position the Territory as a renewable energy powerhouse – powering Territory industries with Territory sunshine, creating new permanent jobs, and establishing a new export industry.

Natasha Fyles, former Chief Minister of The Northern Territory

The original SunCable vision of exporting solar power by undersea cable … is more readily achievable because it relies on a mix of tried and tested technologies – solar panels, batteries, AC terrestrial transmission and DC undersea cable – connected together in a standard way, albeit at much larger scale and in remote locations.
