新加坡到2035年将进口4GW低碳电力
据联合早报10月25日报道，新加坡贸易和工业部长颜金勇在第14届新加坡国际能源周开幕式上表示，新加坡计划到2035年进口可满足该国约30%的电力需求的低碳电力，即4千兆瓦时（GW）。随后，能源市场管理局（EMA）将发布两份提案征询，以从多个进口商购买不同种类的低碳电力。该局将在11月启动第一份购买1.2GW电力的提案征询，在2027年实施，而购买剩余2.8GW的第二份提案征询计划在2022年第二季度启动，并将在2035年开始执行。能源市场局强调，它不会接受任何煤炭燃料发电的提议。
由于受到当地自然资源和土地面积的限制，新加坡不得不依赖进口电力，不管是来自传统化石燃料还是来自清洁能源。尽管一直在自己的土地上开发屋顶和浮动太阳能发电，但到2030年，新加坡当地的太阳能也只能满足供应全国电力的3%。新加坡将从小范围的试验开始其低碳电力进口计划，以探索和解决与跨境电力交易和传输有关的技术和监管问题。这些试验包括从马来西亚进口100兆瓦（MW）的天然气电力和从印尼布兰岛进口100MW的太阳能电力。之后，从2022年到2023年，新加坡还将利用现有线路，通过泰国和马来西亚从老挝进口100MW的水电。此外，新加坡国有电网运营商SP集团和法国能源开发商Electricite de France（EDF Group）[EDF:FP] 于10月11日达成协议，将共同开发海底传输电缆，从印尼供应太阳能电力给新加坡，印尼的太阳能发电厂计划装机容量为1000MW。
Singapore to Purchase 4GW Low-Carbon Electricity by 2035
Singapore’s Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong at the opening of the 14th Singapore International Energy Week on October 25 said that the country plans to import low-carbon electricity to fulfill 30% of the country’s electricity needs by 2035, equivalent to up to four gigawatts (GW), as reported by Lianhe Zaobao on the same day. Following that, the Energy Market Authority (EMA) will issue two requests for proposals (RFP) to buy various low-carbon electricity from multiple importers. The authority will launch the first RFP in November to acquire 1.2GW of electricity and implement it by 2027, while the second RFP for the rest 2.8GW is scheduled in the second quarter of 2022 and will start by 2035. EMA emphasized it would not accept any proposal that provides coal-fueled electricity.
Limited by the local resources and land, Singapore has to rely on electricity imports, generated from either traditional fuels or clean sources. Even though it has been developing rooftop and floating solar power on its own land, the country’s local solar energy could only supply 3% of its electricity by 2030. Singapore will begin its low-carbon electricity import plan with a small range of trials, in order to explore and solve technical and regulatory issues related to cross-border electricity trades and transmissions. The trials include importing 100-megawatt (MW) natural gas-fueled electricity from Malaysia and 100MW solar power electricity from Indonesia’s Pulau Bulan. Afterward, from 2022 to 2023, Singapore will also leverage existing routes to import 100MW hydropower electricity from Laos by the way of Thailand and Malaysia. In addition, Singapore’s state-owned power grid operator SP Group and France’s energy developer Electricite de France (EDF Group) [EDF:FP] reached a deal on October 11 to jointly develop a subsea transmission cable, supplying Singapore from Indonesia’s solar power. The solar energy plant in Indonesia is planned at an installation capacity of 1,000MW.
