Malaysia wants to strengthen its energy relations with Singapore as the country pushes for the establishment of an ASEAN electricity grid. Minister Fadillah stated this as part of efforts to share electricity more efficiently among countries in the region.
At present, Malaysia has an electrical interconnection of one gigawatt with Singapore. This connection allows both countries to send and receive electricity supplies when needed.
In addition, a new project is being planned to add up to two more gigawatts of electrical interconnection capacity. If this project succeeds, the total capacity between Malaysia and Singapore will increase significantly. The ASEAN Grid is a network that connects electricity supplies between ASEAN member states, so that each country can share energy resources more easily.
This development shows that Malaysia continues to give attention to regional energy cooperation. Further information regarding the schedule and details of this project has not yet been fully disclosed.
