Sun Cable: Mike Cannon-Brookes takes charge of ‘world-changing’ solar project

Tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes has renewed plans through Sun Cable to develop giant solar farms in inland Australia to supply electricity to Darwin – and to Singapore via an undersea cable. Doubts about the viability of a project touted to cost $30bn or more, and involving an undersea cable of 4,300km in length, were confirmed earlier this year when Sun Cable was placed into administration. Cannon-Brookes and fellow billionaire and part-owner Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest also declared different objectives for the company. More from the Guardian.
