Singapore Tenders Study for Pulau Tekong Energy Hub

The Energy Market Authority of Singapore has launched a tender to appoint a consultant for a feasibility study on creating an energy infrastructure cluster on a 200-hectare site of reclaimed land at Pulau Tekong. The proposed hub, which is roughly 40% the size of Sentosa, is designed to house a liquefied natural gas terminal, hydrogen-ready natural gas-fired power plants, and other low-carbon energy technologies.

This initiative follows an announcement by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong that 500 hectares of land on Pulau Tekong would be available for civilian use. The project seeks to address rising electricity demand driven by semiconductor manufacturing and data centers, with peak demand projected to reach 11.4 gigawatts by 2031. The agency estimates that hydrogen could potentially meet half of the nation's electricity demand by 2050.

The consultant for the study is expected to be appointed by mid-2027, with the feasibility process taking approximately two years to complete.
