(March 5): Singaporeans will likely face higher power bills if a shutdown at Qatar’s giant liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plant proves lengthy. The city-state is among countries that rely the most on imported natural gas, with more than 90% of its electricity generated from it. Last year, around half of its purchases of LNG were from Qatar, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. “The situation in the Middle East is likely to increase global energy prices and lead to higher domestic electricity prices,” Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) said in an email.   https://www.theedgesingapore.com/news/singapore-economy/gas-reliant-singapore-faces-higher-power-bills-qatar-shutdown (ICE SINGAPORE)
