BackSolar Panel Deployment
Solar is currently the most viable renewable energy source for Singapore, which lacks access to most forms of renewable energy.
To maximise solar deployment in our highly urbanised environment, conventional rooftop solar has been complemented with innovative solar deployment on spaces such as water bodies, temporary vacant land and sheltered walkways.
Singapore opened one of the world’s largest inland floating solar photovoltaic systems (60MWp) at a reservoir in 2021. This generates enough energy to allow us to have a 100% green waterworks system.
As of Q4 2023, we have achieved about 1,170MWp of solar deployment, and are on track to achieve our target of at least 2GWp by 2030.
