We are continuing with the fuel mix switch from fuel oil to natural gas which is the cleanest form of fossil fuel. To ensure a resilient and more diverse supply of natural gas, the Singapore Government has built a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal that allows us to import LNG from global gas markets. This has increased the share of natural gas in our fuel mix.(1.352083°, 103.819836°)(1.352083°, 103.819836°)

We are actively investing in R&D and test-bedding to improve the efficiency and lower the price of solar technologies for adoption on a larger scale. We are also studying the feasibility of deploying floating solar panels on our reservoirs. The industry is exploring innovative financing models such as solar leasing, whereby an organisation can lease solar panels under long term contracts with the leasing company which is responsible for designing, financing, maintaining and operating the solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Overall, Singapore plans to raise the adoption of solar power to 350 megawatt-peak (MWp) by 2020, and 1GWp thereafter.(1.352083°, 103.819836°)(1.352083°, 103.819836°)
