Indonesia Reduces Gas Exports to Singapore in Order to 'Safeguard Reliability' of Domestic Supplies
Indonesia said the 31 million cubic feet a day cut stays within contract minimums and will support domestic electricity generation.
- On Saturday, Indonesia reduced natural gas pipeline exports to Singapore by 31 BBTUD, redirecting supplies to meet domestic electricity needs in Batam, Bintan, and Sumatra.
- Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia defended the cut on Monday, stating it remains within the minimum volume stipulated in existing contracts and was driven by maintenance work and domestic demand.
- Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said on Sunday that Singapore expects all parties to honour contractual commitments, while the Energy Market Authority noted the cut impacts less than 2 per cent of daily demand.
- Following Bahlil's warning on October 22 that Jakarta could review energy exports to countries failing to show "mutual respect," tensions surfaced between the two nations, though he did not identify specific targets.
- Rising electricity demand from data centers has prompted Indonesia to explore nuclear power plants, though analysts warn that long-term gas supply reliability faces greater scrutiny as existing contracts with Singapore expire in 2028.
