SINGAPORE has met its 2025 target of deploying 1.5 gigawatt-peak (GWp) of solar power, placing the country on track to meet its 2030 goal of 2 GWp, revealed Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean on Friday (Feb 28). It also inked a carbon credit transfer agreement with Bhutan, the third country to sign such an agreement with the Republic, after Papua New Guinea and Ghana. Teo – who chairs a climate change government committee – was giving an update on Singapore’s latest developments in climate action, as part of the debate on the budget for the Prime Minister’s Office, which houses the National Climate Change Secretariat. Singapore’s solar deployment has trebled since 2020 and is ahead of schedule. This means that the city-state is on track to meet its 2030 climate targets, Teo added. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/esg/solar-power-capacity-meets-2025-target-carbon-credit-transfer-agreement-inked-bhutan-sm-teo (ICE SINGAPORE)
