Electricity Balance

Natural Gas Balance

Electricity Balance

Singapore generated 57 TWh of electricity in 2023. Of these, 92% (or 53 TWh) was generated by main power producers, while the remaining 8% (or 5 TWh) was by autoproducers.¹ Own-use and losses for electricity generation in the transformation sector amounted to 3% (or 2 TWh).²

The industrial and commerce & services sectors each accounted for similar proportions of 40% (or 22 TWh) of Singapore’s total electricity consumption of 55 TWh in 2023. Household and transport sectors contributed to 15% (or 8 TWh) and 5% (or 3 TWh) of total electricity consumption, respectively.

¹ Refers to enterprises that produce electricity but for whom the production is not their principal activity.

² Transformation sector shows how energy is transformed, transferred, and used by energy industries for their own use and losses in distribution and transmission.

Natural Gas Balance

In 2023, the total natural gas supply in Singapore was 456,601 TJ. This was contributed by an import of 458,756 TJ into Singapore and a stock build of 2,155 TJ into the inventory.

384,713 TJ or 84% of total natural gas supply, was used for power generation in 2023. Another 62,244 TJ of natural gas, which included town gas, was consumed directly by end-consumers.

The industrial sector accounted for 90% (or 55,682 TJ) of total natural gas consumption by end-users. The remainder was consumed primarily by users in the commerce & services sector (6% or 3,823 TJ) and by households (4% or 2,612 TJ).
