To get ahead, Singapore must play smart and tilt the playing field in its favor, not try and go toe-to-toe with other data center markets. This explains its plan last year to double its submarine cable capacity over the next decade. In context, Singapore already has 26 cables landing on its shore when the announcement was made – more than Japan with a population that is more than 20 times larger.

With the Green DC Roadmap, Singapore hopes to harness the broader data center ecosystem to achieve never-before-seen outcomes.

“If the industry can come together, across ecosystems [and] not just the data center players, they can work with upstream and downstream equipment suppliers, chip makers; they can also work with the energy power suppliers and find solutions in this space to build efficient green data centers,” said the spokesperson.

Clearly, Singapore aspires for similar success with data centers.

Of course, it is arguable that Singapore had already embarked on the journey toward sustainable data centers several years ago. For instance, we previously reported on efforts to explore the implementation of a hydrogen power plant for data centers, and efforts by Singapore organizations to develop a medium to store and transport cold energy from its LNG terminal to data centers.

Elsewhere, Singapore has started importing renewable energy, while Keppel Data Centres is also building a floating data center park that will potentially utilize seawater for cooling, and which should be ready later this year.

What would success look like? Unsurprisingly, it won’t be defined by the number of data centers but by the trajectory of Singapore’s digital economy.

“These opportunities can be made available here to grow Singapore's economy, to provide opportunities for people and businesses," the IDMA spokesperson concludes. "Data centers are the critical infrastructure for data flows, data transactions, for anything digital. The growth that we want to see is to benefit the ecosystem for both work and play here.”

Indo-Pacific partners ink clean economy deal with new programme on nuclear energy​

The work programme aims to help partners develop the supply chains, infrastructure, and workforce needed to deploy small modular reactors safely.

The other two work programmes relate to emissions intensity accounting, which will have IPEF partners share information on existing standards, reporting systems, and methodologies, as well as e-waste urban mining, where members collaborate to bring about a more sustainable e-waste management system.

These work programmes are a mechanism under the clean economy agreement for groups interested in a range of climate solutions to build and sustain long-term cooperation, with the aim of advancing the goals of the agreement.

Members of the US-led IPEF meet in Singapore to sign the clean economy and fair economy agreements.

The 14 participating countries of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF) inked the clean economy agreement, which contains three new work programmes, including one on small modular reactors (SMRs).

SMRs are advanced nuclear reactors that have a smaller power capacity than the traditional ones.

The work programme on SMRs intends to support partners who are looking to know more about SMRs, and potentially introduce them in their countries under the highest standards of safety, security, and safeguards if they are found to be a suitable clean energy source, said the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) in a media release on Thursday (6 Jun).

Meralco to build nuclear power plants by 2028​

By: Jordeene B. Lagare - 2 months ago
Power distributor Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) plans to build micro modular nuclear power plants to energize remote areas in the Philippines within the next four years.

“Our goal is to be able to start an operational plant perhaps in one of the island provinces to produce power and demonstrate that it’s a safe mode of producing power,” Meralco chair Manuel V. Pangilinan said. “We hope to do that certainly well before 2028.”

The International Atomic Energy Agency defines micro modular reactors as advanced nuclear reactors with capacity of up to 300 megawatts (MW) per unit or about one-third of the capacity of traditional nuclear power reactors. Ideally, these are constructed in smaller areas.

Meralco executive vice president and chief operating officer Ronnie Aperocho said Pangilinan had already given the green light to conduct a full-scale feasibility study for six months with US-based developer Ultra Safe Nuclear Corp. (USNC).



Pangilinan said it would be important to craft “a fairly modest proof-of-concept plan” to build such small nuclear plants. “His group is prepared to do so “whatever the size might be—5 to 10 MW and located in a safe place,” he stressed.

They will conduct due diligence on the potential sites and come up with detailed analysis of the local and regulatory landscapes, which are seen vital to the deployment of nuclear technologies.
