Singapore’s Equator Renewables Asia and the clean energy unit of China National Nuclear Corporation on Tuesday signed a joint venture agreement to develop a solar project in Indonesia, with part of the electricity generation set for exports to Singapore. 

CRE International (CREI), the renewables arm of the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), and Equator Renewables Asia will work to develop a cross-border renewable energy project designed to export up to 400MW of clean, solar-generated electricity from Indonesia’s Riau Islands to Singapore, via a subsea transmission link. 

The project encompasses a 2,200MW solar PV installation integrated with 3,200MWh battery storage, enabling firm, zero emissions electricity supply.
