  "account": "The Energy Market Authority (EMA) has issued a call for proposals to develop an energy infrastructure cluster on Pulau Tekong, aiming to enhance Singapore's energy security and facilitate the energy transition. The 200-hectare site, which could be developed using reclaimed land, would potentially house hydrogen-ready natural gas-fired power plants, a liquefied natural gas terminal, and other low-carbon energy technologies. EMA CEO Puah Kok Keong emphasized the importance of planning for future energy infrastructure needs, stating that the cluster would play a crucial role in meeting Singapore's growing energy demands. The consultant for the study will be chosen by mid-2027, with the project expected to take approximately two years to complete. The EMA announced the tender on Monday, with the deadline for submissions set for December 4, 2026. Plans for land reclamation on the 4,000-hectare island, which currently hosts the SAF Basic Military Training Centre, were revealed during Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's National Day Rally speech on August 23.",
