Singapore's Keppel Energy facilitates renewable power imports from Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia

Keppel Energy has been authorized by the Energy Market Authority of Singapore to import 1 GW of renewable power from Cambodia.

The wholly-owned subsidiary of Keppel Corporation had just signed a long-term power purchase and export agreement (PPEA) with Cambodia’s Royal Group Power Company Ltd.

The imports from Cambodia will come in addition to previously-disclosed plans to import electricity from Laos.

Keppel signed an MoU with Thai construction company PSG Corporation PCL in October to jointly explore renewable energy opportunities and cross-border interconnections with Laos.

Meanwhile, the office of Singapore’s Prime Minister and the Indonesian Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment has agreed to facilitate the development of renewables, transmission infrastructure, and cross-border electricity trading.
