MELS allow consumers to compare the energy efficiency performance and calculate the lifecycle costs of different models when purchasing appliances. This scheme encourages households to select appliances with better efficiencies than that mandated under MEPS. MELS was introduced for refrigerators and air-conditioners in 2008, clothes dryers in 2009, televisions in 2014, and general lighting in 2015. Household EE awareness programmes (e.g. media publicity, energy-saving contests, EE roadshows) have been rolled out since 2008.(1.352083°, 103.819836°)(1.352083°, 103.819836°)

MEPS levels are raised periodically to reflect improvements in the average efficiencies of appliances in the market and consumer preferences.(1.352083°, 103.819836°)(1.352083°, 103.819836°)

318735993Singapore GovernmentSingaporeSingaporeSouth Asia and OceaniaC402017PublicBuildingsCarbon emissions reduction from industrySingapore has recently announced its intent to implement a carbon tax on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from 2019. A carbon tax will create a price signal on GHG emissions to incentivise emitters to factor in the costs of their GHG emissions in their business decisions, and encourage companies to improve their energy efficiency and innovate. This will enhance our existing and planned mitigation efforts under our Climate Action Plan, and stimulate clean technology and market innovation. The carbon tax will generally be applied upstream, for example, on power stations and other large direct emitters. For stationary emissions, the government is looking at a proposed threshold of 25,000 tCO2e of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions annually. The Singapore government is looking at a tax rate of around S$10 and S$20 per tonne of carbon dioxide-equivalent GHG emissions (S$10-20/tCO2e). The Singapore government will consult with stakeholders on the implementation details of the carbon tax.(1.352083°, 103.819836°)(1.352083°, 103.819836°)
