Applicants are now submit applications to support the development of new power generation assets by the private sector to ensure sufficient electricity supply and system reliability.
The focus areas, of the initiative include expansion of electricity generation capacity, enhancement of energy security and supply reliability, development of combined cycle gas turbine generation units, integration of alternative generation technologies, provision of reserve margin capacity, flexible retirement of existing generation assets, and strengthening of long-term power system planning.
The Energy Market Authority coordinates the Centralised Process for the orderly development of new generation capacity in Singapore. Through this process, a Request for Proposal is conducted to engage private sector participation in delivering required generation assets under a Build, Own, Operate model. This approach is part of a broader planning framework designed to align electricity supply with forecast demand and reserve requirements.
The proposal seeks to award the development of one new combined cycle gas turbine generating unit of at least 600MW in 2031 and up to two additional units of similar capacity in 2032. While CCGT technology is specified as the baseline requirement, the authority may consider alternative technologies if they demonstrate superior performance and capability.
Projects proposing generating units exceeding 600MW must ensure that any additional capacity above this threshold is supported by dedicated online reserves. These reserves must be capable of providing both primary and contingency support and are required to be registered separately to maintain system stability and reliability.
Participants are required to ensure that backup facilities are capable of instantaneously supplying reserve capacity to support higher generation outputs beyond the 600MW limit. This ensures that system security is maintained even under peak operational conditions or unexpected outages.
The framework includes a structured Performance Bond mechanism, with progressive reduction based on the achievement of key project milestones. The bond is set at $100M at the Notice of Award stage and reduces to $50M upon delivery of gas turbine(s), steam turbine(s), and heat recovery steam generator(s) to site.
