The Malaysian government had undertaken detailed discussions with Singapore regulators on issues relating to electricity exports to the city-state, said Minister of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

The discussions involving the ministry also included the Energy Commission and its Singaporean counterpart Energy Market Authority, as well as industry players, Nik Nazmi said.

A paper on energy exchange will be tabled to the Cabinet in October, he said in the Dewan Rakyat.

“The discussion continues,” Nik Nazmi said. “Even at prime minister level, and between myself and my counterpart [in Singapore,” he said.

Nik Nazmi (PH-Setiawangsa) was responding to questions on the status of the mechanism to allow local players to export renewable energy (RE) to Singapore.

Singapore’s EMA is seeking to appoint licensed electricity importers, with an end-2023 deadline for its request for proposal. The country’s administration has also initiated pilots with Indonesia and Laos to import low-carbon electricity from the neighbours.
