I'm pretty ignorant about Singapore, but... I get the impression it's quite small. Wikipedia says 750 sq km.

The solar farm powering this Suncable project is 12,000 hectares, or 120 sq km. So the solar farm is 1/6th the size of Singapore. Although Singapore is only planning to buy around 1/3rd of the capacity, so maybe this'd be equivalent to only 40 sq km, or 1/20th the size of Singapore.

I suspect there are more profitable uses to the Singapore economy for land reclamation than dropping solar panels on it?
