[Full] Singapore to Embark on Review by UN Atomic Watchdog in 2027
Why It Matters
The plan signals major infrastructure and market reforms that will shape investment flows, bolster Singapore’s energy resilience against global supply shocks, and define its practical pathway to emissions reduction despite limited domestic renewables. Changes to procurement, interconnectors and market rules could materially affect power prices, project financing and regional energy trade.
Summary
At EMA's 25th anniversary speech, Singapore outlined an energy strategy prioritizing security, resilience and decarbonization through diversification rather than single solutions. In the medium term natural gas remains the anchor, with a second LNG terminal and centralised gas procurement via Singapore Gas Co to broaden suppliers and contract types. The government is pursuing more cross‑border power imports through expanded interconnectors and market rule updates, while also scaling domestic low‑carbon options such as solar and hydrogen pilots. EMA will balance competition, affordability and system stability as it adapts market frameworks to enable viable long‑term financing for import and clean‑energy projects.
