Singapore plans to build 5 new gas-fired power plants to increase the country's generation capacity by about 26 percent by early 2030. The plans were announced by Energy Minister Tan See Lang. The installed capacity of the electricity system is 12 GW. The main source of the growing demand for electricity is the expansion of industries that require a stable energy supply. Separate authorities for data centers, semiconductor manufacturing and the electric vehicle sector. New stations should provide an increase in capacity against the background of simultaneous development of these areas. For the energy system, this is a significant expansion: this is more than a quarter of the potential of the current generation, and not in the form of individual plants. The choice of gas power plants reflects the practical nature of the task. Singapore plans to increase its electricity supply ahead of schedule, based on expected industrial and technical demand early next decade. ECONOMICS.
