Overview
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| SSS Relevance | ⭐ Low |
| Market Type | Liberalized |
| Key Clean Resources | Solar (limited), Imported electricity |
| EAC System | I-REC, TIGRs |
| Grid Carbon Intensity | ~400-450 gCO2/kWh |
Singapore has a gas-dominated grid with limited renewable resources due to its small land area. No nuclear or significant hydro exists. The country is exploring regional electricity imports from neighbors.
SSS Relevance
⭐ Low — Singapore has minimal SSS potential:
- No nuclear (studying feasibility)
- No hydro (no rivers)
- Gas-dominated (~95% natural gas)
- Limited solar due to land constraints
SSS-Eligible Resources
| Resource Type | Capacity/Output | SSS Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Nuclear | 0 MW | ❌ Not available |
| Hydro | 0 MW | ❌ Not available |
Note: Singapore is exploring regional interconnections (e.g., Malaysia, Indonesia) for imported clean electricity.
