Both countries first expressed interest in a feasibility study on the sidelines of the US-Southeast Asia Clean Energy Roundtable in Singapore in July 2022. Singapore and the US later embarked on the first phase of the joint feasibility study in April 2023, tapping on experts from the US DOE’s intergovernmental Net Zero World Initiative.
Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and the United States Department of Energy (DOE) have set up a workgroup to support and further study regional energy connectivity in Southeast Asia.
According to an Oct 8 announcement by MTI, the workgroup includes regional countries and multilateral partners, industry experts, policymakers and researchers from various energy sectors.
