Singapore to tap more green energy with JTC's solar push

First published on The Straits Times Online

Singapore’s drive to tap more clean energy from the sun is being accelerated by a policy from industrial developer JTC Corporation that will increase the installation of solar panels at its facilities. JTC now requires solar panels to be installed for new land and landbased facility allocations, lease renewals, land launches and tenders in all its estates. Prof Subodh Mhaisalkar, executive director of NTU’s Energy Research Institute, said that for Singapore to reach its 2030 target, large local enterprises have to announce their net-zero targets, and participate strongly in solar deployment and energy efficiency and conservation.
