Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Update as of 19 July 2024
Following the close of the consultation on 8 Mar 2024, EMA received feedback from 11 respondents. Having considered the comments and feedback from the respondents, EMA has outlined our responses in the draft determination paper.

Closing date for feedback is 7 August 2024, 2359 hrs. Anonymous and/or late submissions will not be considered.
EMA has been facilitating the entry of Demand Response (DR)/ Interruptible Load (IL) capacity into the Singapore Wholesale Electricity Market. Since the commencement of a DR/IL sandbox from January 2023, the registered DR/IL capacity has increased to more than 100MW.
With system peak demand forecasted to increase at a compounded annual growth rate of up to 6.5% over the next five years and increasing domestic solar penetration, these programmes play an increasingly important role in balancing electricity demand and supply.
EMA has identified that some embedded generation facilities (EGs) could participate in DR/IL. Such facilities could reduce their load drawn from the grid in times of system need by activating the EGs for their internal consumption without direct load curtailment. However, this is constrained by current market rules. EMA is proposing to allow non-intermittent EGs that are not Generation Registered Facilities within load facilities to participate in DR/IL, subject to conditions.
Please refer to the Consultation Paper for more details.
EMA invites written comments and feedback on Section 2 of the consultation paper to the EMA Industry Ecosystem Development Department at IEDD_Demand@ema.gov.sg.
Closing date for feedback is 8 March 2024, 2359 hrs. Anonymous and/or late submissions will not be considered.
