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

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
