Floating nuclear plants and SMRs weighed for Singapore energy security

The study will assess advanced nuclear’s fit with Singapore’s geography and regulations.

The Centre for Strategic Energy and Resources, with funding support from Equinix, will conduct a study on the potential role of advanced nuclear energy technologies in Singapore’s energy security and industrial development.

The study will examine the feasibility and implications of deploying small modular reactors and floating nuclear power plants to meet the country’s growing demand for reliable, low-carbon, 24/7 power.

The demand is primarily attributed to the rapid expansion of energy-intensive, high-value sectors such as data centres, semiconductors, and advanced manufacturing.

Meanwhile, the research will also examine deployment and implementation factors relevant to Singapore’s geographic, regulatory, and system-level context.

It will take a vendor-neutral approach, combining demand-side analysis with a techno-economic assessment of nuclear technologies compared with existing power generation options.

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.
