AAIS releases inaugural solar adoption report

The report is the first of its kind in the aerospace industry.

The Association of Aerospace Industries (Singapore) (AAIS) announced the release of its inaugural Singapore Aerospace Industry Solar Adoption Report (SAISAR).

The report covers solar data from Singapore-based aerospace companies that currently or are planning to use solar systems in their facilities. As such, this serves as the first industry-led sector-specific of its kind and aims to inspire other industries as well.

Key findings point to a rate of 83.6% adoption of solar power. Solar capacity, as of June 2021, has reached a peak of 19.65 megawatts.

65,000 solar panels have also been installed in aerospace facilities throughout Singapore, producing more than 21,000-megawatt hours of electricity per year.

The report also concludes that the industry, with its use of solar energy, avoids 8.65million kgCO2 of carbon emissions in a year.

AAIS CEO Sia Kheng Yok stressed the importance of this report given the current environmental climate.

“This is an important benchmark study for us, and a timely one. The recent report from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change provided a stark warning about the risks of inaction, and the need for urgent collective efforts towards environmental sustainability.”

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
