SINGAPORE, Feb 12 (The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore is planning to upgrade its electrical grid to not just support its transition to greener energy, but also to cope with rising demand driven by economic growth, digitalisation and the increasing use of electric vehicles.

The Energy Market Authority (EMA) said in a tender which closed in November that it wants to hire a consultant to review and potentially upgrade various aspects of the electrical grid. This includes studying the feasibility of higher transmission voltage levels from power generation plants to increase efficiency, its spokesman told The Straits Times.
