EMA opens proposals for electricity imports
The importer will be given a two-year trial.
The Energy Market Authority (EMA) has opened proposals for an energy importer.
The importer will be given a two-year trial to source electricity from Malaysia to Singapore, as a part of the city state's climate change commitments.
The imported electricity should ideally come from low-carbon sources. Proposals for coal-fired generation sources will be rejected.
Under this request for proposal, no more than 100 megawatts of electricity will be imported for sale to Singapore through undersea cables connecting the two countries.
The EMA will be accepting proposals until 4 June.
