According to a report from pv magazine, Singapore achieved a record level of solar capacity growth last year. The country’s Energy Market Authority stated that 504 megawatts of solar were added in 2025, bringing cumulative capacity to 2,093 megawatts by year’s end. This marked an increase from 1,589 megawatts at the close of the previous year.
The annual growth rate accelerated, with the 2025 addition exceeding the 397 megawatts installed in 2024 and the 370 megawatts added in 2023. The total number of solar installations in the country rose by 3,400 over the year, reaching 14,625. Rooftop solar constitutes more than 80 percent of the nation’s total solar capacity.
Analysts cited by the source noted that increasing cost-competitiveness, with payback periods falling to as short as five years, and the ability for consumers to sell excess power to the grid are key market drivers. Government-led programs are also supporting deployment. These include a Housing and Development Board initiative that had installed solar on 5,300 residential blocks as of last December, as well as programs from an industrial development agency under the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
Supported projects include a 118-megawatt ground-mounted solar farm on Jurong Island, which was completed last year and is the nation’s largest such project to date. It spans 60 hectares across six plots of interim vacant land.
Analysts suggested that electricity prices, influenced by Singapore’s reliance on gas power plants and associated fuel price volatility, will be a primary market driver this year. They indicated this could further motivate residential consumers to install solar panels alongside declining technology costs.
Having surpassed two gigawatts of cumulative capacity, Singapore has increased its 2030 solar target to three gigawatts. Analysts stated this target will be a key market driver, though they noted it is unclear if deployment in the current year will exceed the 2025 level. Land availability was cited as a potential constraint, as remaining projects may be more complex and time-consuming to develop.
Analysts also pointed to potential increased focus on interconnection with neighboring nations to import solar electricity, which could help address land constraints. Last year, Singapore conditionally approved a one-gigawatt hydropower import project from Malaysia and partnered with Indonesia on a solar supply chain initiative. The analysts suggested regulators could introduce more robust incentives for cross-border renewable energy procurement and enhance market structures to support grid flexibility.
By the end of last year, Singapore had 213.4 megawatts of operational energy storage systems. A separate consultancy expects the country to add between 300 and 400 megawatts of solar annually through 2035, which would push cumulative capacity past five gigawatts.
