Singapore needs renewable import boost to hit net-zero goals

To achieve the International Energy Agency’s net-zero power sector target, Singapore must increase its renewable electricity import capacity to 8.1 GW by 2035, significantly reducing emissions and promoting regional cooperation.

Singapore has opened bidding opportunities for renewable energy imports, aiming to facilitate connections to regional grids."This is very important for Singapore to double its renewable energy imports, and this also implies that Singapore could be the tipping point for grid development and renewable energy power development in Southeast Asia," Setyawati noted.

However, increasing the share of renewables in Singapore’s energy mix presents certain challenges."Making sure that renewables are supplied through the regional power grids is absolutely critical to building secure, safe, and decarbonized power systems. Therefore, regional cooperation in grid infrastructure and renewable energy projects is absolutely important," Setyawati emphasised.
