Industry Sector:

Update

The consultation has closed for comments.

Consultations

The Energy Market Authority (“EMA”) engaged a specialist Consultant, Intelligent Energy System (IES) Pty Ltd, to conduct a comprehensive review of the three reserve classes, namely Primary, Secondary and Contingency Reserves. The current system Spinning Reserve requirements and corresponding interruptible load settings were established in 2001 and 2004 respectively. Over the years,the Singapore power system has grown in size and seen electricity produced almost entirely by gas-fired combined cycle generating plants at all time. Hence,it was timely to review the current system Spinning Reserve requirements. This review also considered improvement to power system security, future connection of larger sized power plants, such as H-Class generators, and potentially large-scale deployment of intermittent generation facilities. More details are in the consultation paper.
