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.

On 8 May 2024, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and EMA published a public consultation to seek public feedback on proposed legislative amendments to the Energy Market Authority Act, Electricity Act, and Gas Act. The public consultation closed on 5 June 2024. MTI and EMA received about 30 responses from the industry and public.
MTI and EMA appreciate the feedback provided by respondents. You may find a summary of the feedback received and our responses on the REACH website.
As Singapore moves towards net-zero emissions by 2050, we will see a proliferation of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs).
While DERs on their own may be small and distributed across multiple locations in Singapore, they can be aggregated to operate as a single generator to provide energy and ancillary services to the grid. This aggregated digital platform of DERs is also known as a Virtual Power Plant (VPP).
VPPs have shown potential of contributing to system needs in other jurisdictions. There is currently no regulatory framework allowing the aggregation of DER via a VPP to provide energy and ancillary services in the Singapore Wholesale Electricity Market (SWEM).
In view of the potential benefits that VPPs can bring to our power system, EMA intends to pilot VPPs via a regulatory sandbox to inform the regulatory framework for VPPs.
Members of the public are invited to submit their feedback and comments on the proposed parameters for VPPs to participate in the Singapore Wholesale Electricity Market via EMA_ECDD_Demand@ema.gov.sg.
Closing date and time is 31 December 2024, 2359 hrs (Singapore time).
