Tuas Power secures 670-MW gas unit

The facility is expected to begin commercial operations by December 2031.

Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) has awarded Tuas Power Generation Pte Ltd (Tuas Power) the right to build, own, and operate a new combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) generating unit, the authority announced on 20 August.

This follows an RFP launched by EMA in April under its centralised process for new generation capacity to ensure sufficient power generation capacity to meet Singapore’s future electricity needs.

Tuas Power’s CCGT is expected to provide 670 megawatts of power generation capacity and be ready for commercial operations by December 2031.

“These CCGTs powered by natural gas will provide reliable baseload power, whilst we pursue diverse pathways to a cleaner energy future,” said Puah Kok Keong, CEO of EMA.

Singapore’s electricity demand is projected to grow by 2.4% to 4.8% annually over the next decade, according to EMA.

By 2031, peak electricity demand is projected to reach between 9.6 gigawatts (GW) and 11.4 GW, the authority said.

Demand will be driven by strong economic growth, transport electrification, and the expansion of energy-intensive sectors such as semiconductor manufacturing and data centres.

The installed capacity could meet the electricity demand of up to about 1.2 million four-room HDB households annually, according to EMA.

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.
