en.Wedoany.com Reported - Puah Kok Keong, Chief Executive of Singapore's Energy Market Authority (EMA), stated in Houston on Wednesday that sufficient liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes have been secured to compensate for the supply loss from Qatar for the remainder of 2026, ensuring that 100% of the country's natural gas demand is met.

Puah Kok Keong revealed that the replacement cargoes were procured from suppliers in Australia, the United States, and Africa. If the supply disruption from Qatar—caused by the US-Israel conflict with Iran—ends within the next few months, Singapore may opt to resell these replacement cargoes.

Qatar previously supplied 10% of the natural gas used for power generation in Singapore, equivalent to one LNG cargo per month. Puah Kok Keong noted that Singapore is interested in purchasing more LNG but will source from a diversified range of suppliers, including the United States, Australia, Africa, and the Middle East, to mitigate supply risks.
