24 Jan (Thu): Energy for Growth – Singapore’s National Energy Policy

A talk by Mr Puah Kok Keong, Deputy Director (Energy Policy) in the Energy Division of the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI).

Energy plays an indispensable role in our economy, and will remain critical to its continued economic growth and development. The ultimate aim of our energy policy is to support Singapore’s continued economic growth.

As a small country with limited natural and energy resources, we are mindful of the impact that an energy supply disruption could have on our economy and society.

The use of energy is also closely linked to environmental concerns including climate change.

Taking cognisance of the changing global energy landscape, Energy for Growth outlines how our energy policies will evolve in tandem so as to address the global energy challenges and to capitalise on the opportunities to sustain Singapore's long-term economic growth
