Indonesian Gas Supply Cuts Unlikely to Raise Electricity Prices Much, Says Minister
Published
Singapore's gas importer, Gas Supply, says it will contact its suppliers to find out whether a breach of contract has taken place after Indonesia cut its gas supplies. The company wants to understand what happened and what its legal options are.
Singapore depends on imported natural gas to generate most of its electricity, so changes in gas supply can raise questions for households and businesses. Minister Tan See Leng has said that the cuts are unlikely to affect electricity prices very much. His comments are meant to reassure consumers who worry that their power bills may rise.
The situation is still developing, and the details of the supply cuts and any possible contract dispute have not been fully confirmed. Gas Supply's review of its supply agreements will show whether the company has grounds for a claim against its suppliers.
For now, Singapore residents do not need to change their daily routines because of these events. Officials and energy companies are expected to share more information as the review continues.
