The units, which will provide 100 megawatts of capacity, will be built, owned and operated by PacificLight Power.

They will provide 100 megawatts of fast start generation capacity by the second quarter of 2025, the Energy Market Authority said in a media release on Monday ."This follows a request for proposal called by the Energy Market Company, on behalf of EMA, in December 2023 to ensure that Singapore continues to enjoy uninterrupted power supply when unexpected events occur in our power system," EMA said.

"System imbalances can arise when generating units experience technical faults and undergo unplanned outages," it said. "As we move towards a clean energy future and our energy sources become more varied, it is critical that Singapore has sufficient back-up capacity to ensure consumers continue to enjoy supply reliability," he said.
