Singapore has set a target to achieve 2GW of Solar PV capacity by 2030. The Singapore renewable energy policy handbook offers comprehensive information on major policies governing the renewable energy market in the country. The report also discusses renewable energy targets and plans along with the present policy framework, giving a fair idea of the overall growth potential of the renewable energy industry. Moreover, the report provides major technology-specific policies and incentives provided in the country.

Singapore Renewable Energy Market Dynamics

Singapore’s power sector is regulated by the Energy Market Authority (EMA), which falls under the energy division of the Ministry of Trade and Industry. The government has policies that favor the growth of renewable power, but it is reluctant to provide either subsidies or Feed-in Tariffs (FiT). This is due to its objective for the sector to grow into a robust system that is not dependent on the government for survival. However, the EMA provides basic incentives to solar PV power generators such as net metering under a scheme named Simplified Credit Treatment Scheme (SCT) and Enhanced Central Intermediary Scheme (ECIS). There are also Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) that encourage the adoption of renewable power plants.

The country has one of the highest population densities in the world and has limited renewable energy options. The lack of a large area for ground-scale renewable power plants, lower wind speeds, lack of tidal wave offshore power, and limited water sources have caused a major challenge for the development of renewable power in Singapore. The country generates the majority of its electricity from gas-fired power plants and is dependent on natural gas imports.

Major Policies & Incentives in the Singapore Renewable Energy Market

Some of the major policies & incentives in the Singapore renewable energy market are National Energy Policy, Solar PV Subsidies, SolarNova Program, Tax Incentive for Energy Saving Equipment, Singapore’s Carbon Tax, and Hydrogen Energy.

SolarNova Program: In 2014, the SolarNova program was launched and is a whole-of-Government effort led by the Economic Development Board (EDB) and Housing and Development Board (HDB) to accelerate the deployment of solar PV systems in Singapore. This program helps to promote and aggregate demand for solar PV across government agencies to achieve economies of scale, as well as drive the growth of Singapore’s solar industry.

Tax Incentive for Energy Saving Equipment: A tax incentive is being provided for the use of energy-saving equipment in business activities. This incentive is provided under the Income Tax Act of Singapore. Under this scheme, capital expenditure on eligible energy-saving equipment can be written off in one year instead of 3 years. Supply and installation costs except for consultancy costs of equipment are considered for the calculation of capital expenditure under this scheme. The applicant must own and use the equipment for business purposes only. Eligible equipment includes solar heating or cooling system and a solar energy collection system.

Hydrogen Energy: Singapore does not have a national hydrogen strategy. However, there have been several investments in this space and the recent publication of an energy report provides a positive outlook for this sector. In March 2022, the EMA published the Energy 2050 Committee Report that concluded that it may be feasible for Singapore to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The report additionally highlighted that hydrogen would play a key role in achieving the country’s targets. One of the strategies proposed by the Committee is to develop the use of low-carbon hydrogen for power generation.

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
