1. Singapore's geothermal potential estimated at over 60 times annual electricity use; Tan See Leng says it will drill deeper

   Singapore's Energy Market Authority published results of a non-invasive geophysical survey showing high-temperature geothermal resources several kilometres underground, with estimated potential of more than 60 times the country's annual electricity consumption that could be used for power generation. Minister Tan See Leng said the government will carry out deeper drilling and assessment to judge whether geothermal is a viable option for electricity. Authorities stressed the project is still at the resource-exploration stage and there is no timetable for commercial generation.
