The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI). EMA plays a central role in Singapore’s energy sector, with responsibilities spanning energy regulation, industry development and power system operation.
EMA aims to build a clean energy future that is resilient, sustainable and competitive. It regulates Singapore’s electricity, gas and district cooling industries, promotes effective competition, and works to ensure a reliable and secure energy supply.
As Singapore’s Power System Operator, EMA is responsible for maintaining the reliable and stable operation of Singapore’s electricity system. It also supports the development of the energy sector by catalysing innovation, developing manpower capabilities and working with industry and international partners.
EMA is also involved in Singapore’s energy transition, including renewable energy deployment, regional electricity imports, energy storage, grid development and low-carbon alternatives, as Singapore works towards a net-zero future.
