EMC is thrilled to sponsor and participate in the APSN Chaoyang School Children’s Day Celebration 2025!

Over 200 participants from Singapore and the region came together on 29 August for the 14th Singapore Electricity Roundtable. Held at The Singapore Edition Hotel, the event, themed “Empowering the Market for the Future: Collaborative Pathways to Net Zero 2050”, centred on how energy markets can evolve to meet the challenges of the global energy transition.

Singapore’s energy transition will not be a straightforward journey. Speaking at the Singapore Electricity Roundtable 2025, Dr Ong Lay Hwa, Head of Energy Transition at Shell, highlighted the complexity of moving towards net zero while balancing energy security, affordability, and sustainability.

At the Singapore Electricity Roundtable 2025, Edouard Lavillonniere, Managing Director of EDF Lab Asia Pacific, said it is time to rethink how we go green. Speaking on the future of 24/7 carbon-free energy, he explained why current methods are not enough and how new approaches could bring us closer to real decarbonisation.

At the Singapore Electricity Roundtable 2025, Dr David Broadstock, Partner at The Lantau Group, shared his views on the challenges and uncertainties Singapore faces on its path to net zero. His key message: we know the destination, but the route is still unclear.

At the Singapore Electricity Roundtable 2025, energy leaders came together to discuss how Singapore and the region can manage the rising costs of electricity while pushing ahead with the transition to cleaner power. The panel featured Puah Kok Keong, Chief Executive of the Energy Market Authority (EMA); Rainer Korte, Commissioner of the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC); Toh Seong Wah, Chief Executive Officer of Energy Market Company (EMC); and Vickrem Vijayan, Chief Operating Officer for Singapore at Sembcorp Industries.

At the Singapore Electricity Roundtable 2025, Mr Vickrem Vijayan, Chief Operating Officer, Singapore, at Sembcorp Industries, traced the company’s evolution from its beginnings as Singapore’s first natural gas importer to its position today as a regional leader in renewable and low-carbon solutions.  His speech highlighted how Sembcorp has been pioneering new models, investing in sustainable technologies, and partnering customers in their energy transition journeys.

Australia’s journey offers several lessons for Singapore as it advances its own decarbonisation agenda. First, strong planning and flexible systems are required to handle renewable energy. Second, we need to empower consumers, whether through rooftop solar, energy-efficient appliances, or electric vehicles. Most of all, we need markets and policies that keep adapting to new realities. Singapore’s energy challenge is unique because of its limited land and reliance on imports. But by diversifying sources, tapping technology, and learning from other countries’ experiences, we can find our own balance in the energy trilemma.

As Singapore continues to grapple with global uncertainty, the energy transition, and evolving market dynamics, Mr Puah’s message was clear: resilience, innovation, and collaboration will be the cornerstones of progress. The road ahead will not be easy, but with the support of EMA and facilitated by EMC,  Singapore can look forward to a stronger, more efficient and robust energy sector. 

On 23 May, 35 passionate volunteers from across Singapore’s power industry came together for the National Electricity Market of Singapore (NEMS) Charity Outing 2025 — a heartwarming tradition that continues to grow stronger each year.
