Reserve Ancillary Services
The ancillary services market run by EMA in Singapore - the local analogue of FCAS in Australia.
The Reserve Ancillary Services market in Singapore is the ancillary services regime overseen by EMA (the Energy Market Authority). It provides mechanisms for the grid operator to procure reserve capacity from market participants - including grid-connected batteries and behind-the-meter batteries via licensed retailers.
Key product categories include primary, secondary, and contingency reserves, each with different response speed and duration requirements. Fast batteries qualify well for the primary and contingency products.
Amplicity qualifies our customers' batteries as reserve resources via a licensed retailer partner under EMA's framework.
In Singapore
Participation requires enrolment via a licensed retailer or aggregator. Payments include a capacity component (per MW standing by) and an activation component (per MWh delivered during events).
