The Lao PDR-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project will import up to 100 megawatts of renewable hydropower using existing interconnections, marking the first multilateral cross-border electricity trade involving four Asean countries.
The project will benefit all four countries involved by facilitating the development of a regional market for electricity trading, promoting investments, and enhancing regional electricity supply security and cost-competitiveness, the agencies said. The LTMS-PIP serves as a"pathfinder" towards realising the broader vision of an Asean power grid , the agencies said.
The LTMS-PIP is one of the trials that the EMA has been working on as part of the nation's goal to import up to four gigawatts of low-carbon electricity by 2035, which will make up about 30 per cent of Singapore's electricity supply in that year."The commencement of electricity imports from Lao PDR marks a significant milestone in our regional energy cooperation.
Keppel Electric and EdL will continue to work closely with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand and Malaysia's Tenaga Nasional Berhad for the successful implementation of the power supply, it added.
Laos is not energy independant and also produces lots of dirty energy. So Singapore buying renewable energy from Laos is just an intent by Singapore to greenwash its image. Typical Singapore.
