After careful consideration of the feedback received, the EMA is implementing the following enhancements set out in this determination paper:
a) Allow residential consumers (regardless of contestability status) with embedded IGS below 1 MWac to pay the Allocated Regulation Price (“AFP”) on a net basis; and
b) Streamline market registration procedures for consumers with embedded IGS below 10 MWac who will not be selling their excess electricity output in the National Electricity Market of Singapore (“NEMS”)
The consultation has closed for comments.
An Intermittent Generation Source (“IGS”) is defined as any source of energy that is non-dispatchable in the National Electricity Market of Singapore (“NEMS”) because the power output cannot be controlled or varied at will. Examples of IGS include renewable sources of energy such as solar energy and wind energy. As the cost of solar energy continues to decrease with improvements in technology, we are anticipating more solar deployments by consumers, including residential consumers. In view of new developments in the electricity market, in particular Full Retail Competition (“FRC”) where all electricity consumers can choose an electricity retailer, as well as the evolving business models related to solar deployment, the Energy Market Authority (“EMA”) is proposing enhancements to streamline regulatory requirements and lower barriers of entry for solar.
