Singapore is expected to add up to 0.8 GW of nuclear capacity by 2050, according to new report by Wood Mackenzie. The report, “What if Southeast Asia goes nuclear?”, said the move is likely to reduce the city-state’s reliance on imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) and clean electricity. Small modular reactors (SMRs) are the preferred technology in Southeast Asia, despite higher costs—$282/MWh (US$220/MWh) versus $129/MWh (US$101/MWh) for conventional nuclear plants—as they can be deployed faster and with less regulatory complexity. SMRs could also expand corporate power purchase options for reliable and low-emission baseload electricity.   https://sbr.com.sg/news/singapore-could-add-08-gw-nuclear-capacity-2050 (ICE SINGAPORE)
