Really foolish idea.

It is such a foolish idea, there will be great voltage drops in the cables.................

They think building step up and step down transformers(repeaters) and maintenance cost are cheap.

For this Ukraine war, they never learn the invisible enemy can suka suka sabotage the power line.

I'm not sure if it's so foolish. The engineers have to work out the losses from the cables and see if it's worth it.

So simple wisdom, they also don’t know.

The thing is Spore already signed contract with them already.

Is that so..............

Almost Zero losses when transmitting the voltage on ultra high Voltages

Ann la .. China already invented ultra high capacity transformer for super long length transmissions 2k km sub sub the water

Transformer bery cheap to maintain

You are the expert in electricity, brother cwc!

Primary science class got teach ma .. and gum gum my uncle’s  house got one old transformer after 20 over years still kicking without any maintenance that why I known bery cheap to maintain the transformer 

低调 ！！低调 ！！pls 

tiagong a nuclear sub generator alone could power 20,000 household

actually could we place a few giant rigs nuclear generator in SEA international water? SG is good at building gigantic oil rigs.

Russian has similar concept using ships

Beside water supply, there is shortage of electricity in Singapore.

Luckily, in June, Shell refinery decided to continue  production otherwise, Singaporeans maybe eating in darkness.
Thank God.

.Indonesia agreed to extend gas supply to Singapore in 2023.

"Under the new contract Indonesia will likely supply a lower volume of gas to Singapore."

Take this as an example for construction cost

2800 miles = 4506km

(4506km/1208)*900mil -10% discount
=3.021 Billion euro

Losses are not only on the transformer lah.
On land it is 8 to 15% power loss during transmission.
Let assume losses on land and sea are the same.

Different power is lost at different stages

1-2% of energy is lost during the step-up transformer from when the electricity is generated to when it is transmitted.

2-4% of energy is lost in the transmission lines

1-2% of energy is lost during the step-down of the transform from the transmission line to distribution.

4-6% of energy is lost during the distribution

The average loss of power between the power plant and consumers ranges between 8-15%.

Mostly losses are at the distribution area. In the Sea, more expensive to lay and maintain the cable.

.Shortage of water and electricity

Beside Sewage water collection, Singapore Govt may have to consider collecting German Gas

.

Why Singapore got so many never ending problems?

.
Heard from a friend living in Malacca, he says many people connected their electricity supply from street lamp posts.

While some put a strong magnet on top of electric metres and no charge.

in the 1st place is real foolish to sell away at least 2 power generating stations away to foreigners
spore is in so high debt?

What are you talking? Singapore is not like Malacca

What I don't understand is why Australia doesn't keep the solar electricity for itself, instead of burning coal to generate >half of their electricity. Very dirty way of generating electricity.

Can they do this with cables under the sea?

Yalor, they own self suffer from from shortage of electricity, why dunt they use solar to generate electricity first before help other countries?

Will it end up as another billion dollar scam?
