On Monday, Indonesian President Joko Widodo cited his government’s agreement with Sun Cable for the company’s $30 billion-plus Australian-Asia Project to supply solar power from a massive farm near Tennant Greek though to Darwin then Singapore via a 4200-kilometre cable running through Indonesian waters.
“For this reason, Indonesian business welcomes the cooperation agenda brought by PM Albanese in the field of renewable energy which is in line with Indonesia’s G20B20 priority agenda and is supported by the presence of Mark Barnaba, deputy chairman of Fortescue Metals Group and David Griffin, CEO of Sun Cable,” Ms Kamdani said.
“Australia has a huge amount of expertise in renewable electricity engineering, ranging all the way from generation through to transmission. I think Indonesia is also very open to working with Australian resource providers to ensure they are capable of enhancing their manufacturing of renewable energy-related products like batteries,” he said.
