What happened
The Energy Market Authority is studying a 200ha site on Pulau Tekong for a potential energy infrastructure cluster. This site could host hydrogen-ready natural gas-fired power plants, a liquefied natural gas terminal, and other low-carbon energy technologies. EMA published a tender for a feasibility study, which is expected to take about two years.
