When the obligations in the conditional licences are fulfilled, EMA may subsequently issue the companies an electricity importer licence to commence construction and commercial operations.
Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) has granted conditional approvals for two projects to import 1.4 gigawatts (GW) of low-carbon electricity from Indonesia into Singapore. This follows five conditional approvals awarded in September 2023 to import a total of 2GW of low-carbon electricity from Indonesia to Singapore.
In addition, the five companies in charge of those projects have now been awarded conditional licences, announced the regulator on Sept 5 at the Indonesia International Sustainability Forum in Jakarta. These conditional licences are issued to electricity import projects that have been assessed to be technically and commercially viable, and are in an advanced developmental stage.
