"SINGAPORE, a sunny island set in the sea", as a song goes, may soon have "energy islands" made up of solar panels floating in the sea.

These "islands" will supply electricity to nearby industrial zones or living areas, under a project by the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (Seris) housed at the National University of Singapore (NUS). It is one of three projects launched on Thursday as Seris marks its 10th anniversary at the NUS Shaw Foundation Alumni House.
