  "account": "Indonesia has announced a reduction in gas exports to Singapore, which will account for less than 2% of the city-state's daily gas demand, according to the Energy Market Authority (EMA) of Singapore. The reduction, which began on October 24, sees Indonesia cutting natural gas exports by 31 billion British thermal units per day (BBTUD) from two pipelines directly connected to Singapore. This amounts to 17 BBTUD over a period of 18 days, with the total daily gas demand in Singapore exceeding 1,000 BBTUD. EMA has contingency plans in place to deal with such reductions and highlighted that Singapore has experienced similar supply disruptions in recent months, which were resolved with other gas sources. Singapore relies on natural gas for 95% of its electricity needs, sourced from natural gas pipelines from Malaysia and Indonesia or liquefied natural gas from around the world. The Singapore GasCo, the Republic's central gas procurer and supplier, is ready to import more gas at any time. The reduction in gas exports is part of Indonesia's efforts to prioritize domestic energy needs amid growing energy security concerns, with the government suggesting it may stop exporting energy to countries that do not show mutual respect.",
