Budget 2026: Solar deployment 2030 target raised to 3GW-peak

Singapore is also advancing plans to import low carbon electricity.

Singapore has raised its solar deployment target to 3 Gigawatt-peak (GW-peak) by 2030, having already reached its original 2GW-peak ahead of schedule, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

“Beyond that, we will continue to maximize solar deployment across all viable services and progressively set more ambitious targets further into the future,” Wong said during his Budget 2026 speech on 12 February 2026.

Singapore is also advancing plans to import low carbon electricity from the region.

Singapore’s path to net zero will depend heavily on technological breakthroughs and sustained international cooperation, according to Wong.

“Without these, it will be increasingly difficult for a small resource country like Singapore to move further on our own. The progress of our transition to net zero may therefore be uneven, but our efforts will be credible,” Wong said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
