EMA taps EirGrid on power system management amidst diversification push

The partnership covers submarine cables and cross-border electricity links.

Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) has tapped Ireland’s transmission system operator EirGrid to strengthen cooperation on electricity market design, power system management, and the energy transition.

Both parties have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to exchange expertise on cross-border electricity interconnections, including submarine power cables and renewable power generation.

Activities under the MOU include knowledge sharing, training, and manpower exchanges, as well as dialogues and workshops between EMA and EirGrid.

“As Singapore transitions towards a more diversified energy mix, ensuring a reliable and resilient power system will become increasingly important,” said Puah Kok Keong, CEO of EMA.

Puah added that Ireland’s experience in integrating renewable energy and managing electricity interconnections offers valuable lessons for Singapore.

Liam Ryan, Chief Energy Transition Officer at EirGrid, said growing interconnection between energy systems makes international cooperation increasingly important, with the agreement aimed at sharing expertise between the two countries.

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.
