SINGAPORE – Solar panels will be installed at another 1,075 Housing Board blocks under the Aljunied-Hougang, Nee Soon and Sengkang town councils by the third quarter of 2026, as part of Singapore’s drive to harness more clean energy.
Another 104 government sites – including 55 primary and secondary schools, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital Tower B and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters – will also have solar panels installed under the latest tender launched on Thursday, which is the largest to date under the Government’s SolarNova programme, with a solar capacity of 113 megawatt-peak .
The eighth SolarNova tender involves 10 agencies – the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Health, MFA, Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, Singapore Customs, HDB, National Environment Agency and People’s Association. On average, HDB blocks with solar panels installed can achieve net-zero energy consumption in common areas, which means the energy used by the building is roughly equal to the amount of energy it produces.
