Commentary: The Johor-Singapore SEZ will need a lot of energy – nuclear power might be the key​

Singapore and Malaysia both face energy challenges that could undermine the long-term viability of the special economic zone, says Dr Victor Nian from the Centre for Strategic Energy and Resources.

SINGAPORE: The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) is set to become a defining project for industrial and economic collaboration between Malaysia and Singapore. What the new economic corridor will need is stable, 24/7 carbon-free energy.

Both countries face energy challenges that could undermine the long-term viability of the JS-SEZ. It is an opportunity for a strategic nuclear partnership.

Singapore relies heavily on imported natural gasfor electricity, exposing it to volatile prices and supply risks. It aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, but electricity demand is expected to grow by 3 per cent to 5 per cent every year. Malaysia intends to increase its renewable energy capacity to 40 per cent by 2035, but intermittency (how consistently supply can be generated) and dispatchability (how supply can be adjusted to meet off-on demand) are challenging at a large scale.

Current clean energy solutions can’t quite keep up with the energy-intensive sectors like heavy manufacturing and data centres the JS-SEZ counts on attracting. Solar energy cannot provide round-the-clock reliability even with battery energy storage, while hydrogen is expensive and lacks infrastructure and regulations for large industrial applications.

Nuclear energy, on the other hand, offers a more realistic solution. It has been proven to provide reliable baseload electricity with zero emissions, such as in France, Spain, South Korea and the United States.

Consider the Krsko Nuclear Power Plant, located in Slovenia near the Croatian border. Slovenia and Croatia each own a 50 per cent stake, sharing the electrical output and responsibility for nuclear waste equally. Krsko has delivered stable electricity to both countries for decades.

A similar model could work for the JS-SEZ, bringing together Malaysia land availability and regulatory readiness and Singapore’s financing capabilities and intention to import clean energy from the region.

Malaysia and Singapore already have an electricity interconnector that allows energy to be transferred between the two national grids. It is currently used to import renewable electricity from Laos to Singapore, and from Malaysia to Singapore, with remaining capacity to carry more.

There is also opportunity for collective technology transfer and supply chain development. Japan, South Korea and China have strengthened domestic nuclear industries, creating skilled jobs and new export options, through partnerships with established nuclear states. The JS-SEZ could do the same for Malaysia and Singapore.

Talent development is already stated as a goal of the JS-SEZ. Nuclear energy requires a highly skilled and well-educated workforce. Both Malaysia and Singapore have the ability and the motivation to form academic and vocational training programmes supporting the nuclear energy sector.

Samster can dream of living next to a nuclear plant in their Jaybee leetirement Semi D liao

If the plant is build, we will need to kiss our life goodbye. PAP maybe evil , but the nuclear is a life ender.

All of them will become mutant if they stay near and accident happens.

Expect announcement from Singapore government soon. We are just seeding the media before announcing our intentions to build not one but two nuclear plants. I suspect one will be in southern Islands and one in Tekong maybe.

Indon already have nuclear plants.

I hope Jiu hu build two nuclear power plants. One in penggerang and another in kukup. So if there is a mishap, two countries suffer.

I don't think indon has a nuclear power plant. They do have a nuclear research facility, just like in Iran, but on a much smaller scale.

If you want to reduce carbon emission only way to go is by having a nuclear power plant.
But there is a safer way if thorium is used instead.
China I think has a thorium power plant in the gobi desert in operation and a test facility.
Plus replacing high pressure water to molten salt replace risk of explosion. In the cooling system.

 

[face the facts]

all is well and good until something fucks up......then it will be epic, humans just have to stop reproducing so much and lots of problems will go away
the m&ds simply had not studied enough in school to be able to handle a nuclear problem imho, no insult intended
