Here's why Singapore can't go all out on renewables

Renewables eats up only 5% of its power mix.

Singapore's renewables are attracting interest, analysts from BMI Research said.

According to a report, the scale of Singapore's renewables power segment continues to be small, accounting for less than 5% of the power generation mix.

Meanwhile, the Economic Development Board (EDB) and Singapore Power announced in April 2015 that it would set aside $30m over the following five years in an attempt to develop solutions, with a particular focus on green energy.

There has also been increased emphasis on developing renewable sources of power in recent years. However, the scope of projects will be limited by Singapore's geography - the city-state's small land area and high population density limit the potential for onshore wind, geothermal and certain solar power projects.

"Renewables development so far has therefore been predominantly in the form of waste-to-energy and biomass facilities, but we believe there is potential for steady growth in solar power," BMI Research said.

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.
