        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources\n(ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia has revealed that Indonesia is exploring\ncooperation for electricity exports to Singapore through the development\nof power grid networks in the ASEAN region.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bahlil stressed that such cooperation must be conducted on\nthe principle of mutual benefit or \u2018fair\u2019. Currently, the electricity\nnetwork between Indonesia and Malaysia has begun to be established and\nwill be expanded to the Philippines in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, after that, we are also conducting bilateral communications\nwith several delegations, particularly in the ASEAN region, regarding\nthe power grid. Now we have built the network between Malaysia and\nIndonesia. Soon it will enter the Philippines,\u201d Bahlil said when met at\nthe Ministry of ESDM office on Monday (11\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He explained that Singapore has also expressed interest in obtaining\nelectricity supplies from Indonesia. Bahlil views this cooperation as a\ngood idea as long as it benefits both parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, Singapore has requested it. This is actually a good idea, as\nlong as it is mutually beneficial,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bahlil then cited the electricity cooperation between Indonesia and\nMalaysia, which is currently operational, including the utilisation of\nhydropower from Kalimantan. He believes such cooperation can be carried\nout as long as the agreed price is fair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s good, the price is fair. But for Singapore, we will also\nexport, but the price must also be fair. As long as we haven\u2019t discussed\nwin-win, I think it\u2019s important to conduct a more in-depth study. I\nthink so,\u201d Bahlil stated.<\/p>",
