Bechtel will head a global consortium announced on Oct. 20 to build the estimated $22.5 billion Australia-Asia PowerLink, a massive network of solar generation, battery storage and high-voltage transmission to deliver renewable energy from Australia’s Northern Territory to Singapore.
Private developer Sun Cable, based in both countries, also selected Hatch, a Canada-based global engineering and project management firm, as lead on the HVDC transmission portion of the project.
