It has signed an agreement with Singapore to supply 1,000 megawatts of power and is also providing power to Indonesia through a hydro dam for its new capital [8af5add3]. The state's significant power potential is primarily sourced from renewable energy, with 70% coming from hydro dams and the construction of another dam underway [8af5add3]. This commitment to renewable energy aligns with global efforts to transition to cleaner and more sustainable power generation [8af5add3].
