Singapore and Malaysia to cooperate on energy market issues

The two countries’ energy authorities will hold a virtual dialogue in H1, 2021.

Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) and Malaysia’s Energy Commission (Suruhanjaya Tenaga - ST) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the energy sector.

The MOU, signed at the 13th Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW), serves a framework for both organisations to share knowledge and improve technical cooperation in the planning and reliability of gas and electricity systems; regulation of wholesale and retail electricity markets; and cooperation at multilateral meetings, the press release stated.

A virtual dialogue between EMA and ST will be held in the first half of 2021, to discuss the challenges and impact of COVID-19 on the energy sectors in the two countries.

The dialogue will see both organisations share best practices on regulatory responses to support energy markets whilst safeguarding consumers’ interests.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
