SG hosts Asia Pacific energy regulators forum

Global energy developments were discussed in the meeting.

The Energy Market Authority (EMA) of Singapore hosted the Asia Pacific Energy Regulatory (APER) Forum from 27 to 28 October during the Singapore International Energy Week.

Energy regulators from Australia, China, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Samoa, Thailand, Tonga and the United States of America were in attendance. Guests included representatives from Malaysia Energy Commission, International Energy Agency (IEA), International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and academic and industry experts.

EMA CEO Ngiam Shih Chun, as APER chair, said, "The global energy crunch has shown how complex and closely intertwined are the supply chains. This meeting is timely to discuss the immediate issues facing our energy systems, and longer-term issues which energy regulators will need to address to advance the energy transition."

Against the backdrop of higher volatility in the electricity markets, the regulators discussed the measures taken to ensure the security and reliability of energy supply and safeguards for consumers. The meeting also discussed regulatory challenges related to energy transition plans and decarbonisation targets, shared best practices to enhance system integration of renewables, and measures to strengthen grid stability and resilience.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
