With the completion of the upgrading works in August this year, the interconnector can now accommodate bidirectional electricity flows of around 1,000 megawatts (MW) between Malaysia and Singapore. This is double its earlier capacity and has enhanced regional energy connectivity.
Singapore and Malaysia have upgraded the electricity interconnector between the two countries, says Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Trade and Industry Tan See Leng on Oct 26.
Since 1983, the interconnector has enabled mutual energy transfer between Singapore and Malaysia during times of power system disturbances.
