Abstract

Singapore is increasing its power import capacity through a regional trading agreement called the Lao PDR-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project (LTMS-PIP). This agreement will double the electricity flows to Singapore, allowing for up to 200 megawatts of power. The goal is to create a regional "supergrid" that enables all 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to trade electricity, helping to address power shortfalls in one area by accessing surplus power in another. The LTMS-PIP project began in 2022 and has already facilitated the transportation of hydropower from Laos to Singapore via Thailand and Malaysia. [Extracted from the article]
