Solar deployment in Singapore grew significantly over the years, surpassing 1 GWp of solar installed capacity in the first half of 2023. Grid-connected installed capacity increased from 126.0 MWp in 2016 to 1005.7 MWp in the first half of 2023.
Solar energy is currently the most promising renewable energy option for Singapore. It is clean, generates no emissions, and can boost our energy security. Being in the tropical sun belt, Singapore enjoys an average annual solar irradiance of 1,580 kWh/m2/year.
Feb 7, 2023 · According to EMA, solar energy remains the most promising renewable energy source in the near term for Singapore. In fact, Singapore achieved its 2020 solar target of 350 megawatt-peak...
Oct 29, 2019 · By 2030, Singapore wants to ramp up its solar capacity by more than seven times from current levels, and increase the current 260 megawatt-peak (MWp) of installed solar capacity to 2...
So far, the adoption of solar energy has been positive — Singapore successfully achieved its 2020 solar deployment target of a 350 megawatt-peak (MWp) in Q1 2020. The next target? To have a 2 gigawatt-peak (GWp) by 2030 — enough to power about 350,000 households for a year.
To maintain grid reliability, Singapore is deploying Energy Storage Systems (ESS) to address solar intermittency and enhance grid resilience. In February 2023, Singapore officially launched a 285 megawatt-hour ESS on Jurong Island.
