Singapore's Energy Market Authority (EMA) has raised the 2030 solar target from 2 GW to 3 GW after surpassing the original goal in 2025. The initiative aims to increase solar deployment on rooftops, land, and water, with over 80% of current capacity from rooftop installations.

Government programs like SolarNova support this growth. Although solar is expected to contribute only 10% of energy needs by 2050, the government is exploring additional energy pathways, including low-carbon gas-fired plants and electricity imports. Recent projects include developing a solar panel industry in Indonesia and a hydropower import project from Malaysia.
