Singapore Smart Microgrid

What is Singapore's new microgrid?

The microgrid, specially designed for Singapore’s tropical climate, will integrate gas, electricity and thermal energy into a unified smart energy network. It will seamlessly incorporate renewable sources of energy such as solar energy and energy storage technologies.

Will Singapore have a multi-energy microgrid?

With the expected completion of the new SIT@Punggol campus around 2023, it will be the first university in Southeast Asia to have a multi-energy microgrid network. The microgrid, specially designed for Singapore’s tropical climate, will integrate gas, electricity and thermal energy into a unified smart energy network.

Will Singapore get the largest private microgrid installed in 2024?

Could microgrids help Singapore Go Green?

Over a decade ago, microgrids were a novel concept in Singapore. But now, these self-sufficient energy systems, capable of supplying solar electricity to small communities, could become an important part of Singapore’s efforts to go green – with testbeds on Pulau Ubin and at the Singapore Institute of Technology’s (SIT) upcoming Punggol Campus.

Could micro-grids be more widely deployed in Singapore?

Welcome to EMA's website. We would love to have your valuable feedback. As self-sufficient energy systems that serve a certain area, micro-grids could be more widely deployed in Singapore in the decades ahead.

What is a sit microgrid?

In contrast to a single-layered grid, microgrids will allow users to generate and use power according to their own needs. In addition to powering the campus, the new SIT microgrid will also act as a test bed for new energy systems that can be replicated across Singapore.
