Overview
Singapore's renewable energy stood at 1.10% in 2021, a rise of +0.20% from 2020. Singapore ranked 187th globally.
Singapore's renewable energy production has seen a gradual yet modest increase over the past three decades. Starting from 0.20 in 1990, the country's renewable energy production rose to 1.10 by 2021, a 450% growth. This trajectory places Singapore among the countries with the same level of renewable energy production as Iraq, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Bahamas, and the United Arab Emirates. While the nation has made progress in this area, the 2021 figure ranks 187th globally. The lack of significant growth in renewable energy highlights the country's reliance on traditional energy sources. A shift towards cleaner energy sources could be driven by increased government incentives or rising global pressure to reduce carbon emissions, potentially altering the trajectory of Singapore's renewable energy production in the coming years.
