SG and Australia ink framework for energy regulatory exchange

Training and exchange programmes will be conducted

Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) and the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) have signed an agreement that will strengthen regulatory exchanges and energy cooperation.

According to EMA, the memorandum of understanding provides a framework to promote cooperation and the sharing of regulatory practices on gas and electricity markets. It will also facilitate greater knowledge exchange on low-carbon technologies and deepen cooperation at multilateral platforms in support of the region’s energy transition.

Activities to be conducted under this partnership include knowledge and experience sharing, training and exchange programmes, as well as dialogues between EMA and AER.

“This builds on the excellent momentum of our bilateral energy cooperation and the 60th year of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Australia,” said Puah Kok Keong, chief executive of EMA.
