Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

How electricity works in Singapore

Liberalised marketCompetitive generation and retail

Gas supplies about 95% of power; imports of low-carbon power from neighbours are starting. Households can choose a retailer through the Open Electricity Market.

    Participant in the ASEAN Power Grid initiative, which is gradually linking Southeast Asian grids for cross-border trade.

What does “Liberalised market” mean?

Generators sell into a wholesale market, an independent operator runs the transmission grid, and households can choose their electricity supplier. Networks stay regulated monopolies because building parallel power lines makes no sense.
