The Energy Market Authority (EMA) has granted conditional approval to Sembcorp Utilities to import 1.3 gigawatt (GW) of electricity to Singapore.
Sembcorp Utilities is working with its consortium partners — MY Energy Consortium (MYEC), Petronas, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), and Petrovietnam Technical Services Corporation (PTSC) — to source and integrate low-carbon electricity from regional and domestic resources.
This includes offshore wind from Vietnam and solar power from Malaysia.
Sembcorp Utilities, MYEC and PTSC had earlier signed a joint development agreement at the sidelines of the 46th ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur in May 2025.
It is now working towards commencing electricity import from the project by 2035.
"Over the next few years, the consortium will continue to develop the project, including to obtain all requisite approvals from relevant jurisdictions, conclude power purchase agreements with buyers, and secure sufficient financing," EMA said in a statement on Monday (Oct 26).
Beyond this project, Singapore's energy regulator had previously granted conditional approvals and conditional licenses to electricity import projects from Australia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
"Low-carbon electricity imports form a key part of Singapore’s strategy to decarbonise the power sector," EMA explained, adding that it will continue to engage companies with credible and commercially viable proposals that can contribute to the decarbonisation of Singapore’s power sector.
In August, EMA granted conditional approval to two companies to import 900 megawatt (MW) of electricity from Johor.
The conditional approvals — for projects supplying power generated from solar and battery energy storage systems in Johor — were given to Sembcorp Utilities and Malaysian company Southern Solar Alliance.
能源市场管理局（EMA）有条件地批准胜科电力公司向新加坡进口 1.3 吉瓦（GW）电力。
胜科公用事业公司正与其联盟伙伴——马来西亚能源联盟（MYEC）、马来西亚国家石油公司（Petronas）、马来西亚国家能源有限公司（TNB）和越南石油技术服务公司（PTSC）——合作，从区域和国内资源采购和整合低碳电力。
这包括来自越南的海上风电和来自马来西亚的太阳能发电。
胜科公用事业、MYEC 和 PTSC 此前在 2025 年 5 月于吉隆坡举行的第 46 届东盟峰会期间签署了一项联合开发协议。
目前，该公司正努力争取在 2035 年前开始从该项目进口电力。
“在接下来的几年里，该财团将继续推进该项目，包括获得相关司法管辖区的所有必要批准、与买家签订购电协议以及确保充足的融资，”EMA在周一（10月26日）的一份声明中表示。
除了这个项目之外，新加坡能源监管机构此前还向来自澳大利亚、柬埔寨、印度尼西亚、马来西亚和越南的电力进口项目颁发了有条件批准和有条件许可证。
“低碳电力进口是新加坡电力行业脱碳战略的关键组成部分，”EMA解释说，并补充说，它将继续与那些能够为新加坡电力行业脱碳做出贡献的、具有可信度和商业可行性的提案的公司进行接洽。
8 月，EMA 有条件地批准两家公司从柔佛州进口 900 兆瓦 (MW) 电力。
针对柔佛州利用太阳能和电池储能系统发电的项目，Sembcorp Utilities 和马来西亚公司 Southern Solar Alliance 获得了有条件批准。
