There is one project for an undersea cable to Singapore.

As solar efficiency goes up, and prices of solar and batteries come down and make local installation easier, an already audacious project seems less and less likely to complete.

I think they're pivoting the giant solar farms they were building for this to AI or green hydrogen now.

It's almost like that idea where the first people to leave in generational star ships will arrive at their new home to find the people who left in the third or forth generation ships already there for some time, technology having advanced so much in that time.

By the time they get the cable to Singapore, it will just be cheaper to generate it in Singapore.
