SINGAPORE, March 16 ( The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore could soon be given the green light to import 1 gigawatt (GW) of renewable energy yearly from Cambodia.

The new deal would be the Republic’s largest cross-border electricity contract to date, making up a quarter of the nation’s low-carbon electricity import target by 2035, and about 8 per cent of the entire country’s needs that year.
