The Government of Singapore have announced plans to build two additional hydrogen-ready natural gas power plants by 2030 to meet growing electricity needs and ensure energy security. The Energy Market Authority (EMA) invited the private sector to build, own, and operate these plants, which are expected to be operational by 2029 and 2030. Each plant will have a capacity of at least 600 MW, capable of powering around 864,000 four-room flats annually. This will bring Singapore’s total number of hydrogen-compatible power plants to nine by 2030.
This initiative follows that the YTL PowerSeraya will construct a USD800 million power plant on Jurong Island, set to be operational by 2027 with the capacity to use up to 30 per cent hydrogen. Additionally, Keppel is building the Keppel Sakra Cogen Plant on Jurong Island, which is expected to be completed by the first half of 2026.
