SINGAPORE – The Republic is looking at various strategies to decarbonise its electricity grid, including increasing solar power and importing low carbon energy from the region, Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong said.
Mr Gan spoke at the inaugural Singapore Green Plan Conversation organised by the Ministry of Trade and Industry on Tuesday (Oct 19).
Singapore’s solar energy capacity has grown more than six times over the past five years. The aim is to up solar energy deployment here by five times by 2030 to at least a two gigawatt-peak, equivalent to powering around 350,000 households a year.
