Singapore raises 2030 solar target to 3 GWp after early success

The government proposes grants to accelerate solar and energy efficiency.

Singapore will raise its 2030 solar deployment target to 3 gigawatt-peak (GWp), following the early achievement of the 2 GWp goal, as discussed during the Singapore Budget 2026.

Jeremy Ong, Senior Manager of LHN Energy and General Manager of LHN Parking, said domestic generation is a key pillar of the energy transition.

He proposed using microfitting to add renewable energy capabilities to urban surfaces, including car parks, walkways, and industrial estates.

Ong also suggested integrating solar power with battery storage and electric vehicle charging. Under this model, energy would be stored in batteries for use during peak demand periods—a concept not yet implemented in any large-scale commercial projects locally.

Yoon Young Kim, Cluster President for Singapore and Brunei at Schneider Electric, noted that grants are necessary as climate momentum slows.

Citing a study by Schneider Electric and the Singapore Exchange, he said companies are increasingly prioritising investment in solar panels, yet awareness of energy-efficiency options remains low despite short payback periods.

“We hope the extension of the grant will encourage companies to explore ways to reduce emissions by lowering or optimising their energy use,” Kim added.

Singapore Budget

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
