Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The energy sector is controlled by the Energy Division (ED) of the Ministry of Trade and Industry. The Energy Division lays down the sector's strategic policy and the country's energy policy. The policy goals are to ensure economic growth, energy security, competitiveness and sustainable development.
Energy Companies
Oil:
Although Singapore does not produce any oil domestically, some companies are involved in exploration and production overseas. This includes Singapore Petroleum Company (SPC), a fully owned subsidiary of PetroChina and Kris Energy, with production and exploration permits in five countries.
Energy Supply
Resources:
Singapore does not have any oil or gas resources.
Energy Prices
Gas:
In 2019, gas prices stood at US$11.88c/kWh for industry and US$13.10c/kWh for households.

Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption per capita is about 5.4 toe (2019), including 9 100 kWh of electricity in 2019.
Oil has a dominant share in the country's total energy consumption, with 67% in 2019. However, its share has fallen due to the increased demand for gas (from 6% in 2000 to 30% in 2019). Biomass and coal have shares of 2% and 1%, respectively.
Issues & Prospects
In 2014, the National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS) released five technology roadmaps to guide the nation in preparing its energy future. The five roadmaps are - Solar Photovoltaic, Carbon Capture and Storage, Green Data Centre, Building Energy Efficiency and Industrial Energy Efficiency.
