Floating nuclear plants and SMRs weighed for Singapore energy security

The study will assess advanced nuclear’s fit with Singapore’s geography and regulations.

The Centre for Strategic Energy and Resources, with funding support from Equinix, will conduct a study on the potential role of advanced nuclear energy technologies in Singapore’s energy security and industrial development.

The study will examine the feasibility and implications of deploying small modular reactors and floating nuclear power plants to meet the country’s growing demand for reliable, low-carbon, 24/7 power.

The demand is primarily attributed to the rapid expansion of energy-intensive, high-value sectors such as data centres, semiconductors, and advanced manufacturing.

Meanwhile, the research will also examine deployment and implementation factors relevant to Singapore’s geographic, regulatory, and system-level context.

It will take a vendor-neutral approach, combining demand-side analysis with a techno-economic assessment of nuclear technologies compared with existing power generation options.

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.
