With energy prices worldwide and in Singapore hitting an all-time high, the cost and security of energy are major concerns for both households and policymakers.

Although there are complex factors at play, one conclusion is inescapable: The growing threats posed by climate change require a meaningful shift toward renewable energy at scale, and an energy grid that can accommodate it.

The momentum for renewable energy in Singapore has never been greater, with significant effort being put into preparing for a greener and more sustainable future. One such example is Singapore’s National Water Agency – PUB, which deployed around 120,000 solar panels floating on the Tengeh Reservoir, making it one of the world’s largest inland floating solar farms with a 60-megawatt peak capacity.
