A timetable with a policy dependency
The Jakarta Post reports that Indonesia has committed to supplying Singapore with at least 3.4 gigawatts of renewable electricity by 2035. Some developments envisage an earlier start, but the report identifies uncertainty over export regulations as a constraint on progress.
What the developer is waiting for
For the Vanda Solar and Battery project in the Riau Islands, the developer links a planned 2029 start to the issuance of export rules in 2026 or 2027. The report also identifies domestic market obligations and electricity allocation as matters awaiting policy guidance. These are reported expectations, rather than confirmation that the relevant rules have been enacted.
Why the distinction matters
A project target and an effective regulatory framework answer different questions. The first describes an intended delivery date; the second provides the conditions under which delivery can proceed. Reading a target as a settled outcome would blur that distinction. For a business audience, the useful question raised by this reporting is how the policy timetable relates to the commercial timetable, rather than whether an announced date alone establishes certainty.
