Overview
Regional Power Grids is one of the four energy supply switches that Singapore harnesses to decarbonise the energy sector.
However, electricity imports have a different reliability profile compared to combined cycle gas turbines (CCGTs). The outage of individual CCGT is typically rectified in days or weeks whereas for electricity imports, a sufficiently severe outage may take up several months to repair.
To ensure system reliability, electricity imports will have to be supported by backup capacity in Singapore that can respond quickly and be able to sustain for months.
EMA therefore would like to engage industry players and experts to design and refine solutions that can address the system reliability issue. We also seek interest from various parties who could provide such solutions as a service.
