Singapore Clears 1GW of Solar Imports from Indonesia
Singapore took a step toward importing up to 1 gigawatt of solar power from Indonesia, part of the tiny city-state's efforts to shore up energy security via cross-border links.
The country's Energy Market Authority granted conditional license to Indonesia's Singa Renewables Pte Ltd. — a joint venture between France's TotalEnergies SE and Royal Golden Eagle Pte. Ltd., according to a statement. It will also partner with Singapore Energy Interconnections Pte. Ltd. to explore building a subsea power cable between the neighbors, the statement said, without providing an investment amount or timeframe for the project.

India's IndiGo to add 10 new international destinations to its network
(Reuters) -Indian airline IndiGo will add 10 international destinations and broaden its business class offerings overseas this year, CEO Pieter Elbers said on Friday, ramping up competition with rival Air India. The move marks a fresh push by IndiGo to tap into premium international travel, a space long dominated by Tata-owned Air India. IndiGo, which holds nearly 60% of India's domestic market, flew 1.8 million international passengers in the October–December quarter, just behind Air India and its budget unit's combined 2 million, DGCA data showed. The company will add business class seats on routes to Singapore, Phuket and Dubai, CEO Pieter Elbers said at an event in Delhi on Friday, without specifying the Indian departure points. The airline also plans to expand its long-haul network later this year with new destinations including London, Copenhagen, Athens, and Southeast Asian countries and cities like Hanoi and Cambodia. Earlier this year, IndiGo said it aims to increase international seat capacity and expand its fleet to over 600 aircraft by fiscal 2030. It has also signed a deal with Bengaluru International Airport to develop maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) infrastructure to support this growth.

Pentagon boss Hegseth warns of ‘devastating' consequences if China looks to ‘conquer' Taiwan
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in an appearance in Singapore, has vowed 'devastating consequences' if China moves to 'conquer' Taiwan, according to multiple published reports. The Pentagon's chief's comments appeared aimed at assuaging concerns in Asia about the nation's commitment to preserving security in the region, The Wall Street Journal reported. In what the Journal described as Hegseth's 'most assertive' comment so far on Taiwan, the defense secretary said threats to the island by China 'could be imminent.' The U.S. goal is to 'prevent war' through deterrence with its allies. But if that fails, and 'if called upon by my commander in chief, we are prepared to do what the Department of Defense does best, to fight and win decisively,' Hegseth said, according to the Journal. Hegseth said the region is a 'priority' for the Republican White House. He made his remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, 'a security conference attended by many top defense officials from Asian and Western countries,' according to the Journal. 'To be clear: Any attempt by Communist China to conquer Taiwan by force would result in devastating consequences for the Indo-Pacific and the world. We are not going to sugarcoat it. The threat China poses is real. And it could be imminent,' Hegseth said without outlining what those consequences would be. At the same time, he said that 'Communist China will not invade Taiwan on [President Trump's] watch.' Hegseth didn't offer details on how the U.S. might respond to Chinese aggression against Taiwan, according to the Journal. China has claimed Taiwan as its territory, and it has refused to rule out using force to take control of the self-governed island, the newspaper reported.
