Singapore Institute of Power and Gas launches the first power plant simulator training programme

The Centralised Power Plant Simulator aims to create standardised training for the energy sector.

The Singapore Institute of Power and Gas (SIPG) launched the first centralised power plant simulator (CPPS) training programme in the country.

Introduced in collaboration with the Energy Market Authority (EMA) and several Singaporean power generation companies, the CPPS aims to centralise and standardise training standards for the energy sector in Singapore to ensure that the workforce can be prepared for rare but critical scenarios for Singapore’s power sector.

The six courses integrated with CPPS will establish a consistent standard for skills training, from power plant operations to process controls, from the management of equipment alarms to the safety of operators of the plant.

These courses served as the first time that power generation companies cooperated to design and direct training standards for the sector.

“As the energy landscape continues its dynamic and transformative journey, SIPG is focused on cultivating competencies and technological know-how needed for the industry to keep pace with change. The Gencos’ collaborative and structured approach promotes sharing and adoption of best practices,” Chia Soo Ping, Principal of SIPG, 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.
