Keppel Energy gets green light to import clean energy from Cambodia The Energy Market Authority (EMA) of Singapore has conditionally approved a project by Keppel Energy, a Singaporean energy conglomerate, to import 1GW of low-carbon electricity from Cambodia by 2035. The project is based on a memorandum of understanding on energy cooperation signed between the two countries in 2022. The electricity will mainly come from solar power, supported by hydropower, wind power and battery storage systems. It will be transmitted via over 1,000km of subsea cables. This is the first project to be approved under the EMA's request for proposals scheme, which aims to import up to 4GW of renewable energy by 2035. Singapore is pursuing an energy import strategy to diversify its energy sources and reduce its carbon footprint, as it currently relies mostly on natural gas and has limited land for renewable energy projects.(Source: Khmer Times)

The CSNMEA president said the Chinese government supported Cambodia's products because of their high quality and favorable climate. She also said they were discussing ways to speed up import licenses to China. The Ministry of Commerce signed an MoU with a Chinese company last year to pave the way for bird's nest exports to China, which is expected to bring more revenue to the Kingdom.

The CSX CEO welcomed GSV's plans and said it would support the government's mission to build a green business community and attract more private companies to offer green bonds on the local bourse.
