KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia’s Sarawak state aims to provide up to one gigawatt of renewable energy to Singapore by 2032, with negotiations to supply the electricity via submarine cables now at an advanced stage, according to Sarawak state energy unit Sarawak Energy Berhad .
SEB is spearheading the negotiations with a consortium led by Singapore’s Sembcorp Industries. The parties are working towards a power exchange agreement, and are finalising the technical and the commercial terms for the export of energy, said SEB group chief operating officer James Ung Sing Kwong.
“From the Sarawak side, we need to get sufficient power ready for Singapore, and we have to strengthen transmission lines on land to supply the energy. Singapore will be responsible to build the 700km submarine cables from Sarawak to the city-state to supply the energy, which could take around six to seven years.”
SEB, along with Sembcorp Industries and Singapore Power Group, have completed technical studies on the cables linking Borneo to Singapore, said Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Tun Openg. Meanwhile, the Baleh hydroelectric project is under construction and is expected to be commissioned by 2028. Sembcorp Industries group president and CEO Wong Kim Yin said on Thursday that the company is working with SEB to bring hydropower to Singapore that will alleviate a big shortage of green energy in the Republic.
