GSPL History

Gas Supply Pte Ltd’s (GSPL) history can be traced back to a track record spanning over 140 years. The earliest predecessor company was set up in 1861 as the Singapore Gas Company. It became part of the Public Utilities Board in 1963 and was corporatised in 1995 as PowerGas (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore Power Ltd). GSPL was set up in 2000 as a subsidiary of PowerGas Ltd to import natural gas in Singapore.

Moving in tandem with the liberalization of the energy market in Singapore, PowerGas saw the transfer of its contestable businesses in gas import and retailing to GSPL on 2 January 2002. With that, GSPL, a wholly owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings became one of the major importers and retailers of natural gas from South Sumatra, Indonesia.
