The upgrade of the electricity interconnector between Singapore and Malaysia has been completed

Singapore-Malaysia Electricity Interconnector upgrade completed

The interconnector can now handle around 1,000MW of electricity flows.

The upgrade of the electricity interconnector between Singapore and Malaysia has been completed, doubling the capacity of electricity flow it can carry and enhancing regional energy connectivity.

In a statement, the Energy Market Authority (EMA) said the interconnected can now accommodate a bidirectional electricity flow of around 1,000 megawatts between the two countries.

EMA also said that the interconnector is used for the cross-border power trade in the Lao PDR-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project that imports up to 100 megawatts of renewable hydropower from Lao PDR to Singapore through interconnections in Thailand and Malaysia.

The interconnector has enabled mutual energy transfer during power system disturbances since 1983.

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.
