Malaysia and Singapore to Conduct Full Feasibility Study for Second Power Interconnection

17/10/2025

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), SP Group and Singapore Energy Interconnections (SGEI), signed a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) today to conduct a full feasibility study for the development of a second electricity interconnection between Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore. This second interconnection, with a potential capacity of up to 2,000 megawatts (MW), aims to enhance energy cooperation between the two countries and expand the capacity for cross-border electricity trade. The interconnection is targeted to commence operations by 2030.

The signing ceremony was held on the sidelines of the 43rd ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The JDA was signed by TNB President/Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Ir. Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan; SP PowerGrid Chief Executive Officer, Jimmy Khoo; and SGEI Chief Executive Officer, Ong Teng Koon. Witnessing the signing ceremony were Malaysia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, Datuk Amar Fadillah Yusof, and Singapore’s Minister-in-Charge of Energy and Science & Technology, Dr. Tan See Leng.

With the JDA, all three parties will commence a full feasibility study to ascertain the technical and commercial viability of the second interconnection. The study will build on the successful pre-feasibility study conducted by SP Group and TNB that was completed in May 2025, which established that there were no technical barriers in implementing a second interconnection.
