[New Chinese enterprises join hands with Indonesia to build a 900MW solar storage project]ERA Singapore and China Atomic Energy Industry Corporation (CREI) have signed an agreement to collaborate on the development of a 900 megawatt solar power station and a supporting 1.2 gigawatt hour energy storage system in the Riau Islands of Indonesia. CREI is responsible for power station investment, construction, and operation, while ERA coordinates transmission and power consumption. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2029.
As the first project of ERA's "New India Renewable Energy Plan", the project will deliver 400 megawatts of clean electricity to Singapore through submarine cables. ERA has obtained a conditional import permit from the Energy Market Authority of Singapore and is one of the six approved companies.
Singapore plans to import approximately 6 gigawatts of low-carbon electricity by 2035 to meet one-third of its energy needs and support its net zero emissions target by 2050. ERA CEO Frank Phaun stated that this project is an important practice in realizing the low-carbon energy vision.
In June 2025, Singapore and Indonesia reached a consensus to develop the solar energy industry in the Riau Islands and promote cross-border clean energy trade. The Energy Market Authority of Singapore previously approved the import of 1 GW of low-carbon hydropower from Malaysia by Shengke Public Utilities Company.
The International Energy Agency and the International Solar Energy Society have pointed out that integrating solar and wind energy resources in Southeast Asia and using high-voltage direct current cables to achieve grid interconnection is a key path to meet regional electricity growth needs.
