Consultations
A number of business consumers have requested changes to current rules for the direct supply of electricity to them from generating units. Currently, EMA adopts the “user-pays” principle. One corollary to this is that no business consumer should be compelled to use and pay for power system resources which the consumer does not require. The consumer therefore is allowed to provide an onsite source of power for its own use on the same site, without connecting to the power system. The consumer may also choose to connect its facilities to the power system for additional or backup supply, but it must pay for the system resources. In Singapore, such direct sources of power are called embedded generation.
EMA would like to seek comments and feedback from the industry and members of the public on its preliminary assessment and views as set out in the consultation paper before making the final determination on the companies’ proposed changes as described in section 2 in the paper.
