MTI and EMA seek feedback on energy legislation changes

The public consultation will end on 5 June.

The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and the Energy Market Authority (EMA) have launched a public consultation on the proposed amendments to the EMA Act, Electricity Act, and Gas Act.

The public can share feedback on the proposed changes from 8 May to 5 June.

EMA and MTI said the proposed amendments will support Singaproe's energy transition whilst ensuring "energy security and cost competitiveness."

"To achieve Singapore’s net zero target, we will need to decarbonise the power sector by 2050. Developing different decarbonisation pathways such as electricity imports and hydrogen will involve significant investment," the government bodies said.

"Singapore’s energy landscape has evolved significantly over the last 50 years and will continue to evolve in aspects such as the regulation of energy markets and energy infrastructure planning. Hence, we will need to enhance the current regulatory regime to support the nation’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050," MTI and EMA added.

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.
