SINGAPORE - Singapore is planning to upgrade its electrical grid to not just support the country’s transition to greener energy, but also to cope with rising demand driven by economic growth, digitalisation, and increasing use of electric vehicles.
Higher voltage levels are crucial for transmitting electricity over longer distances, for instance when importing electricity from neighbouring countries like Malaysia. Industries which use a lot of energy such as the metals and petrochemicals sectors also require electricity at high voltages. Explaining that “a significant portion” of the electricity network infrastructure had been built and commissioned in the 1980s to early 2000s to support urban development and industrialisation, the agency told ST that it believes it is time to review the “design and planning” of the electricity grid infrastructure amid changing energy trends.
Doing this at all voltage levels will maintain the network’s reliability and minimise costs and keep electricity affordable, said the EMA spokesman.
