2023 Emission Standards for Power Generation Units

Last updated: 25 June 2024

Singapore's Energy Market Authority enacted in 2023 its "Final Determination on Emission Standards Framework for New and Repowered Fossil Fuel-fired Generation Units", in order to facilitate the deployment of clean and efficient power generation units in Singapore. 
All new and repowered fossil fuel-fired plants should meet the Tier 1 emission standard of 0.355 tCO2e/MWh on an annual basis.  Plants that are unable to meet Tier 1 standard can opt to be subject to an emissions limit under Tier 2, for which  emissions allowance limit that is equivalent to a Tier 1 advanced CCGT but running at a  Plant Load Factor of 50% on an annual basis.
