SINGAPORE: Singapore’s expansion in advanced manufacturing, technology and electrification of vehicles will accelerate growth in power demand over the next decade, the chief executive of its Energy Market Authority (EMA) says.
Electricity consumption will grow between 2% and 5% through to 2035, EMA chief executive Puah Kok Keong told Reuters on Monday, compared with an average growth of 1.9% over the 10 years ending 2024, data from think-tank Ember showed.
