While the country has already begun importing low-carbon electricity from the region, meeting a third of Singapore’s projected electricity demand, the Prime Minister pointed out that the country still requires domestic sources to “ensure greater energy resilience”.
Singapore will study the potential development of nuclear power and take further steps to systemically build up on nuclear capabilities, says Prime Minister Lawrence Wong at this year’s Budget.
Amid a need to meet rising energy needs and lower carbon emissions, Wong notes that expanding access to clean energy was a “major national imperative”.
