Singapore tells suppliers to ‘honour commitments’ amid Indonesia’s gas cut

As of October 26, 2026, Indonesia has cut 31 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day from its supply to Singapore to prioritize domestic demand amid a haze crisis caused by wildfires in Borneo and Sumatra. The reduction, which amounts to about 8% of the daily supply of 409.55 million standard cubic feet, is within contractual limits but still less than 2% of Singapore’s total daily gas demand. Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto criticized unnamed countries for insulting his nation over the haze crisis, while Energy Minister Bahlil Lahadalia defended the cuts as necessary due to rising domestic needs and existing contracts. In response, Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong stated that the government would explore nuclear power and strengthen global partnerships for energy security.
