The Indonesian government is careful in processing permits for low-emission electricity exports to Singapore, with discussions ongoing for years without agreement. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed for cooperation, requiring long-term planning for exports.

Singapore aims to import six gigawatts of low-carbon electricity by 2035, half from Indonesia. Six companies have conditional licenses for solar power supply. Indonesia seeks to ensure domestic solar panel production for exports and maintain a portion of green electricity for domestic use.

The government emphasizes state control over infrastructure, as per national laws, preventing private ownership of underwater cables. Recommendations for export benefits include quotas to meet domestic needs and fair carbon credit distribution.
