After successfully obtaining green electricity from Laos through the "Laos-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project" (LTMS-PIP), Singapore announced on Sept. 20 that the second phase of the project will expand, with plans to import an additional 100 MW of electricity from Malaysia.
However, unexpectedly, this electricity may not necessarily be renewable, highlighting that despite the interconnected power grid, there are still challenges in cross-border green electricity procurement. In the context of competing for limited green electricity, the formation of an ASEAN power grid remains uncertain.
