![]() ![]() We would like to thank our regional partners for their strong support and close collaboration in moving towards a cleaner energy future for the region.”ĭr. Interconnected power grids can accelerate the deployment of renewable energy, promote supply diversification and strengthen grid stability for the region as a whole. The LTMS-PIP is a key project to advance multilateral power trade in Southeast Asia and complements existing efforts towards realising the ASEAN Power Grid vision. Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said, “The commencement of electricity imports from Lao PDR marks a significant milestone in our regional energy cooperation. Keppel Electric and EdL will continue to work closely with EGAT and TNB for the successful implementation of the power supply. The LTMS-PIP demonstrates the feasibility of multilateral power collaboration as technical, commercial, legal and regulatory arrangements were finalised with the extensive collaboration among the various parties, including Keppel Electric and EdL, Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), with the support from the governments of the four member ASEAN countries. ![]() Keppel Electric is also the first entity to be issued an electricity importer licence by EMA. The LTMS-PIP is one of the electricity import trials that Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) has been working on to pave the way for larger scale electricity imports of up to 4 gigawatts (GW) into Singapore by 2035 (Refer to Annex for more information on the LTMS-PIP).Īs part of the LTMS-PIP, Keppel Electric Pte Ltd (Keppel Electric), a subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings Pte Ltd (KI), and Electricite du Laos (EdL) have signed an initial two-year power purchase agreement following the announcement of the signing of an exclusive framework agreement in September 2021. Regional power grids can help accelerate the development of renewable energy projects and promote economic growth and bring greater energy security to the region. Singapore is tapping on regional power grids to access cleaner energy sources beyond its borders. This provides opportunities to tap on low-carbon and renewable energy sources in the region and contributes towards economic development and improving energy security and stability. ![]() The APG is a key regional initiative to enhance interconnectivity, energy security and sustainability through existing electricity interconnections. The LTMS-PIP serves as a pathfinder towards realising the broader ASEAN Power Grid (APG) vision of multilateral electricity trading beyond neighbouring countries in the region. This marks a historic milestone as the first multilateral cross-border electricity trade involving four ASEAN countries, and the first renewable energy import into Singapore. ![]() The Lao PDR-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project (LTMS-PIP), which imports up to 100 megawatts (MW) of renewable hydropower from Lao PDR to Singapore via Thailand and Malaysia using existing interconnections, commenced today. Keppel and Electricite du Laos sign power purchase agreement, pioneering cross-border power trade of renewable energy into Singapore Singapore commences first renewable energy electricity import via regional multilateral power trade ![]()
