Indonesia Cautious on Low-Emission Electricity Export to Singapore
The Indonesian government is cautiously processing permits for low-emission electricity exports to Singapore, following years of discussions without a formal agreement. A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed, requiring long-term planning as Singapore aims to import six gigawatts of low-carbon electricity by 2035, with half sourced from Indonesia. The Indonesian government emphasizes state control over infrastructure and seeks to balance domestic solar panel production with export needs while ensuring a portion of green electricity remains for local consumption.

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.
