Singapore achieved a record high in renewable energy usage in May 2025, driven by a surge in domestic solar generation and rising clean power imports

Renewables accounted for 2.58% of the city-state's power mix, with solar output growing at its fastest pace since March 2024. Clean electricity imports rose for the third consecutive month, totaling 122.7 million kilowatt-hours from January to May—0.52% of total generation. This marks a significant shift, as Singapore imported no power during the same period last year. The imports, supported by cross-border deals like the 200 MW Lao PDR-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore (LTMS) and the 50 MW ENEGEM pilot with Malaysia, are displacing fossil fuel-fired power. With limited domestic renewable resources and 95% reliance on gas-fired plants, Singapore aims to meet one-third of its electricity demand through clean imports by 2035. The Energy Market Authority is continuing discussions on enhancing regional trade agreements, particularly the LTMS extension.
