Singapore, Laos, and Cambodia collaborate on cross-border electricity trade

The collaboration aims to achieve three key outcomes.

The Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), the Lao PDR Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM), and the Cambodia Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) have formed a working group to promote cross-border electricity trade, advancing the ASEAN Power Grid vision.

The working group aims to achieve three key outcomes including a framework to facilitate the development of cross-border electricity trading projects in ASEAN, starting from the project between Lao PDR, Cambodia and Singapore.

The working group will also facilitate regulatory approvals and licences for the generation, export and import of electricity and will develop guidelines for subsea surveys and cross-border subsea power cable installations.

Lastly, the working group will explore facilitating commercial arrangements and developing infrastructure for cross-border electricity trading amongst the three countries.

The first working group meeting was held on 29 May, joined by Singapore’s Second Minister for Trade and Industry Dr Tan See Leng, Lao PDR’s Vice-Minister for Energy and Mines Dr Chansaveng Boungnong, and Cambodia’s Minister for Mines and Energy Keo Rottanak.
