Singapore to ration electricity as a 'last resort' during emergencies
The Energy Market Authority will ration Singapore's electricity supply during an emergency, but this will be done as a "last resort". This is among new measures to ensure the country's energy security and stability. A central gas buying entity (Gasco) will also be formed by year-end. Fully owned by the government, it will undertake all future natural gas contracts. MPs questioned if this would hinder the freedom of current generation companies to decide who they buy from. Singapore's power sector currently needs around six to seven million tonnes of natural gas annually. Nasyrah Rohim reports.
