SG, Malaysia forge two new power deals

The proposed projects could support 3 GWs of power.

Singapore and Malaysia have made two new interconnection deals to facilitate cross-border electricity trade at the 43rd ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting in Kuala Lumpur.

This includes Singapore Energy Interconnections, SP Group and Tenaga Nasional Berhad signing an agreement to conduct feasibility studies for a second electricity interconnection.

The proposed interconnector could support up to 2 gigawatts (GW) of capacity by 2030, complementing the existing link, which allows up to 1 GW of bi-directional electricity flows.

Moreover, Singapore’s Energy Market Authority has granted Conditional Approval to Sembcorp Utilities, in partnership with Sarawak Energy Berhad, to import around 1 GW of low-carbon electricity from Sarawak, Malaysia.

The project, powered primarily by hydropower, has been assessed as preliminarily technically and commercially viable and will be operational around 2035.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
