We need to significantly reduce the power sector's emissions, while ensuring that the power system remains secure, reliable, and sustainable. The role will involve driving EMA's efforts on electricity imports and regional power grids, to allow Singapore to access cleaner energy resources outside our borders.

1. Developing policies to ensure that Singapore's power supply remains secure, reliable, and affordable while successfully incorporating electricity imports

2. Managing regional renewable energy and electricity imports projects

3. Managing cross-agency policy and operational trade-offs for Singapore to bring in large-scale electricity imports

4. Engaging industry stakeholders and financial institutions to seek feedback for policies on electricity imports

What we are looking for

Requirements:

We are looking for people with a keen interest in energy issues and passion for the public service. You must be excited about learning new things, comfortable with navigating ambiguity, challenging the status quo, and willing to speak up and put forward new solutions. Key skillsets that we are looking out for include:

1. Strong understanding of technology concepts and trends, with the ability to assess economic implications.

2. Familiarity with relevant tools and methodologies for techno-economic analysis.

3. Strong interpersonal skills to engage and collaborate with stakeholders.
