Pulau Tekong eyed for energy infrastructure cluster

Potential facilities include an LNG terminal and gas-fired power plants.

Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) will study the feasibility of establishing an energy infrastructure cluster on Pulau Tekong as part of efforts to strengthen the country’s energy security and support its energy transition.

The study is part of the government’s broader assessment of potential land uses on Pulau Tekong and comes as Singapore expects electricity demand to grow alongside its expanding economy.

EMA is assessing diverse energy pathways and said there is a need to plan ahead for new infrastructure to meet Singapore’s long-term power demand. The proposed cluster could be located on part of the reclaimed land on Pulau Tekong.

Potential infrastructure could include hydrogen-ready natural gas-fired power plants, a liquefied natural gas terminal, and other low-carbon energy technologies.

EMA will appoint a consultant through a tender published on 5 October 2026 to assess the feasibility of developing the cluster.

The consultant will also develop a proposed master plan for an energy infrastructure cluster on an estimated 200-hectare site on Pulau Tekong.

The selected consultant is expected to be appointed by mid-2027, with the study estimated to take about two years.

“Energy is a critical resource to support Singapore’s continued development and growth,” said Puah Kok Keong, chief executive of EMA. “It is vital that we plan ahead for our future energy infrastructure needs.”

“If it materialises, the energy infrastructure cluster on Pulau Tekong will play an important role to meet Singapore’s growing energy needs,” he added.
