Singapore Invites Private Sector For Hydrogen-Ready Power Units
Singapore's Energy Market Authority (EMA) has launched a tender for up to three new power plants to meet rising electricity demand. One unit is expected to be operational by 2031, while up to two units are scheduled for completion by 2030. This initiative is intended to maintain the reliability of the nation's power system while meeting future electricity needs. Six power companies in Singapore have built or are currently building infrastructure for combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) units. Each unit provides at least 600 megawatts, which is sufficient to power 600,000 households. The technology recovers hot exhaust to create steam and produce additional electricity from the same fuel source. Analysts noted an urgency for private companies to build such infrastructure. Some of the infrastructure is also hydrogen-ready, according to an analyst.
