The agreement involves a major energy infrastructure project designed to transmit solar-generated electricity from Indonesia to Singapore.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the contract was signed with Singapore's power supply authority and includes the provision of 230-kilovolt cables for an underground transmission section. LS Cable will be responsible for manufacturing, construction, and installation as part of the deal.
