SINGAPORE, June 4 (Xinhua) -- Singapore has invited private sectors to build, own, and operate two new hydrogen-ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine generating units, according to the Energy Market Authority (EMA) Tuesday.
The EMA required each generating unit to be at least 600 megawatts in generation capacity and the two power plants to be ready by 2029 and 2030.
Singapore's power system peak demand is expected to grow by at least 3.7 percent over the next six years, reaching between 10.1 gigawatts (GW) and 11.8 GW by 2030, said the EMA.
The new generating units can use hydrogen to reduce carbon emissions. EMA Chief Executive Ngiam Shih Chun said Singapore welcomed industry participation to shape a greener and more resilient energy future. ■
