Singapore moves to import more low-carbon electricity from Indonesia

IMPORT TARGET RAISED

By 2035, Singapore plans to import 4GW of low-carbon light. &nbsp,

It has since received more than 20 proposals from various nations, which demonstrate the viability of low-carbon energy imports as a means of decarbonizing the energy sector, according to EMA.

The energy sector now accounts for about 40 per cent of Singapore’s carbon pollution.

To date, EMA has conditional approvals for nine projects, including the five that have received contingent licenses. &nbsp,

These tasks include Sembcorp Utilities ‘ plan to transfer 1.2GW of low-carbon power from Vietnam and Keppel Energy’s plan to import 1GW of low-carbon energy from Cambodia. &nbsp,

Singapore will increase its passion and target to buy 6GW by 2035, according to EMA, given the encouraging development of electric buy projects and the assurance of enough supply to meet our future energy needs given growing demand.

It further stated that it would continue to research all energy field decarbonization options. &nbsp,

These included gas, renewable, deep geothermal energy, nuclear power, as well as carbon capture and storage systems.

” As Singapore decarbonises, EMA may also get to reach an ideal balance between strength security, conservation, and cost competitiveness”, the authority said.
