EMA sends out first request for proposal for electricity imports

The deadline for submission of proposals is on 1 April 2022.

The Energy Market Authority (EMA) announced the issuance of the first Requests for Proposal (RFP) to appoint electricity importers for its plans to import up to 4 gigawatts (GW) of electricity by 2035.

Overall, this would take up around 30% of the country’s electricity supply.

Over 1.2GW of low-carbon electricity is expected to be covered by this RPF by 2027. Another RFP, meanwhile, is expected to be issued in the second quarter of 2022 and targets a 2035 effectivity date.

Parties interested in this should submit their proposals by 1 April 2022, 3:00 p.m., and should include the proposed generation and interconnector design.

Other factors importers have to take note of is supply reliability, credibility, track record, cost-competitiveness, and ability to supply and manage the carbon output of their generation supply.

Proposals reliant on coal-fired generator technology will not be accepted.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
