Singapore relaxes load factor rule for electricity imports

Original: Singapore changed its rule for electricity imports: 2024: 75% load factor in every quarter 2025: 60% over the year Per 1

Singapore has loosened its requirement for imported electricity: the 2024 rule demanding a 75% load factor every quarter has been replaced in 2025 by an annual average of 60%. For every 1,000 MW of import capacity this means 5.256 TWh per year instead of 6.570 TWh, a 20% reduction. It is not publicly known whether the change applies retroactively to earlier approvals.

Why now: The rule change significantly reduces the guaranteed utilisation of planned electricity import capacity, raising questions about its impact on energy projects.
