TotalEnergies and Singapore’s RGE have partnered to develop a major solar and battery storage project in Indonesia’s Riau Province, aiming to supply 1GW of renewable electricity to Singapore and local industrial areas. The Singapore Energy Market Authority has granted a conditional licence to their joint venture, Singa Renewables, to import this electricity. The partners also signed agreements to develop a subsea interconnector for electricity transmission and to jointly build, operate, and maintain the hybrid solar-battery facility. The project will support Singapore’s carbon neutrality goals and boost economic development in Riau, leveraging TotalEnergies’ global expertise and RGE’s regional presence.
