What percentage of Singapore's electricity is renewable?

Currently, renewables account for about 5% of Singapore’s total electricity generation, with solar power being the main contributor. Singapore has set an ambitious target to increase its renewable energy capacity to at least 2 gigawatts peak by 2030.

What is Singapore's Energy Security and production?

For most of its energy security and production, Singapore relies on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and oil. On the other hand, Singapore’s renewable energy initiative is led by solar power. Singapore has reached its target of 350 MWp solar production (its 2020 green energy agenda goal) and is targeting 2 GW by 2030.

What is Singapore's energy mix?

Singapore's current energy mix contains less than 1% renewable energy. It aims to make drastic changes to its energy generation by 2030.

Is Singapore working with other countries to build energy resilience?

Singapore is already actively working with other countries in this area. For instance, Keppel Energy, a subsidiary of the Singapore conglomerate Keppel Company, is creating the largest cross-border contract with Cambodia’s Royal Group Power to build energy resilience.

Why is Singapore a good place to work for solar energy?

Singapore is deeply invested in developing specialised talent for the green economy, especially in clean energy and environmental sciences. Collaborations between organisations in Singapore aim to attract and groom locals for the solar energy sector.

Are solar panels viable in Singapore?

Only a few types of renewable energy are viable in Singapore. The country has a very small amount of land, with low wind speeds and large ports limiting tidal energy potential. Therefore, solar is leading the way in Singapore, although there is a small amount of land available for deploying solar panels.
