The Energy Market Authority (EMA) of Singapore and Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance cooperation towards greater energy security and resilience on Oct 28.

Under the MOU, both Singapore and Hong Kong will cooperate in key areas such as electricity and gas systems and markets, renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation, district cooling and low carbon technologies as well as cooperation at multilateral forums such as the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

Both agencies will share their knowledge and experience as well as work together on training and exchange programmes.

"This MOU demonstrates our commitment to advance our bilateral cooperation even as we deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. The crisis has highlighted the importance of international cooperation in building a resilient and future-ready energy system and workforce,” says Ngiam Shih Chun, CEO of EMA.

“The MOU will bring closer the co-operation between both sides by deepening the partnership on sharing of knowledge and experiences in energy-related areas. Through strengthening the bilateral ties, the EMSD and EMA are working together towards the vision of a green and sustainable future,” adds Eric Pang, director of EMSD.
