Singapore Total Energy Production & Consumption

Total energy consumption per capita is about 6.4 toe (2024), i.e., 4 times more than the Asian average, with a consumption of 9 822 kWh of electricity (3 times the Asian average).

Total energy consumption has decreased slightly since 2022 (-1.5%/year) to reach 38 Mtoe, after a 14.5% jump in 2022; it stagnated at around 35 Mtoe between 2019 and 2021. Previously, it experienced a rapid increase from 2010 to 2017 (+5.6/year).

Singapore Oil Production & Consumption

Singapore is the world's third largest oil products trading place. Thanks to its geographical position, at the extremity of the Strait of Malacca and on the shipping routes connecting the Middle Eastern producing countries to the Southeast Asian importing countries, Singapore is a key crossing point for oil trade in Asia. Moreover, the country built an artificial island, Jurong Island, entirely dedicated to the oil industry.

Singapore Natural Gas Production & Consumption

Singapore imports natural gas through three gas pipes and one LNG regasification terminal. One 4 km cross-border gas pipe links the country to Malaysia. The second pipeline is the 654 km West Natuna Transportation System pipe, which connects the gas fields of West Natuna in Indonesia to the industrial area of Jurong Island. The third pipeline is the 468 km Grissik-Batam-Singapore pipeline, which connects the fields from Sumatra in Indonesia to Singapore.

Singapore Renewable in % Electricity Production

In 2019, the government announced a target of 2 GW of solar PV (on industrial land and roof spaces) by 2030 (1.2 GW in 2024). Solar development is supported through the SolarNova programme. The Housing and Development Board (HDB) plans to install PV panels on half of its rooftops. The city state also plans to double the floating solar capacity to 160 MW and to add 200 MW of energy storage system (ESS) by 2025. In 2020, the first ESS facility was installed for a test-bed (2.4 MW) and a 285 MWh storage site was commissioned in 2023.

Singapore GHG emissions and CO2 emissions

In 2022,the government announced that it would reduce its carbon emissions target for 2030 to 60 MtCO2eq, corresponding to 7.7% additional reduction compared to its NDC target (or 5 MtCO2eq). It also aims at achieving net zero emissions by 2050. The first NDC set the target of reducing the GHG emission intensity by 36% from 2005 levels by 2030 (65 MtCO2eq), with an aim of achieving peak emissions around 2030. In February 2025, Singapore released its updated NDC, in which it intends to reduce its GHG emissions to between 45 to 50 MtCO2eq in 2035.
