Our Role

As a company appointed by the Singapore Government, we:

Develop and manage cross-border electricity interconnections

Facilitate regional power trade

Ensure secure and reliable power transmission

Drive clean energy integration across Southeast Asia

Our Focus

Building robust regional power infrastructure

Enhancing energy security through grid interconnection

Supporting ASEAN’s transition to sustainable energy

Developing innovative power trading solutions

Energy Sustainability

One key focus of Singapore’s journey toward energy sustainability has been on regional power grid integration. To enhance energy security and meet climate targets, the country is pursuing cross-border electricity trade under the ASEAN Power Grid initiative.

This strategy enables Singapore to tap into cleaner and more affordable renewable energy sources from the region. By 2035, Singapore aims to import up to 6 gigawatts of low-carbon electricity, potentially contributing around 30% of its power supply then.
