Half of Singaporeans see higher bills from green shift: survey

At the same time, 58% of Singaporeans believe their government has a clear climate action plan.

Half of Singaporeans believe the transition to renewable energy will raise household electricity bills, according to the Ipsos 2025 People & Climate Change Study.

Despite this concern, higher than the global average of 44%, the study finds that Singaporeans remain strongly aware of climate risks, with 81% expressing concern about climate change’s impact on the country. This puts Singapore amongst the most climate-concerned nations in the APEC region.

At the same time, 58% of Singaporeans believe their government has a clear climate action plan, a figure that ranks well above the global average of 32%.

The study also shows relatively low skepticism toward green technologies. Just 30% of Singaporeans think electric vehicles are as bad for the environment as petrol-powered cars, compared to a global average of 34%.

The findings paint a nuanced picture: Singaporeans are aware of the potential economic trade-offs in the shift to renewables, yet continue to support broader climate action.

The Ipsos survey was conducted in January and February 2025, covering over 500 respondents in Singapore and thousands across 32 countries.

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.
