Singapore
APPLE'S move to power all its operations in Singapore with solar energy - in the process becoming the first company here to be powered by renewable energy - could accelerate the take-up of solar power by companies here.
Through a deal with local solar energy developer Sunseap, the tech giant said on Sunday that it will receive power generated by solar energy systems on the rooftops of more than 800 buildings in Singapore; this arrangement, which gets around the problem of space constraints, is said to be the first of its kind in South-east Asia.
