"Australian billionaire to fund Singapore subsea cable project"

The Australia-Singapore Power Link (ASPL) project has been developed by Singapore-based company Sun Cable project is being developed by Singapore based company Sun Cable at an estimated cost of $14bn (A$20bn). With a storage facility based in Tennant Creek in Australia’s Northern Territory, the project will include a 10GW solar farm and a 20-30GWh storage facility which will transport 3GW of power to Singapore.
ASPL was given major project status by the Northern Territory Government in July 2019 and will begin producing power in 2027.
It sounds just this side of science fiction to me, but it will be exciting if the project actually goes forward as planned.
