SINGAPORE is boosting its research and development (R&D) capabilities in energy through a further S$39 million in four initiatives.

The first, a S$20 million programme called Exploiting Distributed Generation (EDGE), will look at projects that explore ways to manage and integrate diverse, smaller energy systems with the national power system. To be administered by Energy Market Authority (EMA) and Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), EDGE participants can also test-bed their solutions on the Pulau Ubin micro-grid to raise the commercialisation prospects of their research. Successful solutions can then be deployed on a larger scale at the upcoming SIT@Punggol campus micro-grid when it is completed in 2023.
