TNB Genco, YTL PowerSeraya imports 100MW electricity to Singapore

The imported electricity will be supplied to Singapore commercially for the first time.

TNB Power Generation Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Tenaga Nasional Berhad, and YTL PowerSeraya Pte. Limited have partnered to import 100 megawatts of electricity to Singapore.

The electricity will be exported from Malaysia through a newly upgraded interconnector.

“This is a positive step for the strengthening of cross-border energy supply towards the realisation of a fully interconnected ASEAN Power Grid,” Dato’ Nor Azman Bin Mufti, Managing Director, TNB Genco, said.

This is the first time electricity from Malaysia will be supplied to Singapore on a commercial basis, aligned with the Malaysian Energy Commission’s Guide for Cross-Border Electricity Sales (CBES).

The CBES Guide was issued to facilitate cross-border electricity between Malaysia and neighbouring countries towards the vision of the ASEAN power grid.

“We believe that this is the first step in our vision of a strong ASEAN power grid, where electricity imports may eventually form a key part of Singapore’s energy mix,” John Ng, CEO of YTL PowerSeraya, said.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
