4.19. (...) Today, 95% of Singapore's electricity is generated using natural gas. In addition to accelerating solar deployment, Singapore is also studying emerging technologies such as hydrogen for power generation in the longer term. Due to the lack of alternative energy options, Singapore is also looking into leveraging regional power grids to overcome geographical constraints and access other clean energy sources. Chart 4.4 provides the energy sources mix for the generation of electricity.

4.21. In 2018, the Government launched the first grant call for the Genco EE Grant and awarded SGD 37 million to PacificLight Power, Tuas Power, Senoko Energy, and YTL PowerSeraya, to embark on energy efficiency projects. These projects are expected to reduce carbon emissions by over 48 kilotonnes per year.

4.22. Following this award, the 2nd Genco EE Grant Call was launched on 11 January 2021 to continue to support gencos' efforts to improve their energy efficiency and adapt to an increasingly carbon-constrained future. This second grant call is planned to close on 30 September 2021, and the outcome is to be made known to the public by mid-2022.

4.23. The remainder of the electricity comes from refuse/biomass, coal, petroleum products, and solar, but none of these sources accounts for more than 3%, even though Singapore has set targets for 2030 for solar capacity (2 GWp) and storage (200 megawatts).

4.24. The overall share of renewables in Singapore's fuel mix for electricity generation remained constant at approximately 2.8% from 2015 to 2019. The relative share of solar energy increased between 2015 and 2019 (slightly more than 0% in 2015 to 0.36% in 2019). Singapore achieved its 2020 solar capacity target of 350 megawatts peak (MWp) in the first quarter of 2020. The Government subsequently announced new targets of 1.5 gigawatts peak (GWp) by 2025 and at least 2 GWp by 2030.

4.26. The Government is also working closely with the industry to develop energy storage solutions (ESS), which aim to support solar deployment. EMA launched the ACCESS programme to facilitate ESS adoption in Singapore by promoting use cases and business models. The programme also looks at securing space, marrying demand with solutions, and facilitating regulatory approvals for ESS deployment. (...) Most recently, EMA and Keppel O&M awarded a research grant to pilot Singapore's first floating energy storage system, which also aims to explore a battery stacking solution.
