Consultation
Importing electricity is a key initiative that will allow Singapore to further diversify our energy mix. This will help reduce carbon emissions from the power generation sector, as it allows Singapore to overcome land constraints and tap on clean energy resources outside Singapore’s borders. EMA intends to allow up to 4GW of imports by 2035, which is expected to make up around 30% of Singapore’s total electricity supply by 2035.
EMA will need to ensure sufficient local backup capacity to maintain energy security and reliability as we scale up Singapore's electricity imports. EMA had earlier launched an Industry Co-creation Exercise in August 2021 to seek initial views on how such backup capacity might be designed and provided. The industry generally supported the backup planning methodology and indicated interest to provide backup capacity for the Singapore system.
EMA has since further developed the framework for backup capacity. This consultation paper seeks further views from the public and industry players on the design and future procurement of the backup capacity.
EMA is also conducting a call for Expression of Interest (EOI) to invite interested industry players to indicate their interest in providing such backup capacity. This will enable EMA to better design our future backup procurement process.
