$6.2m research grant to study how to better plan Singapore's solar output

SINGAPORE - The Energy Market Authority (EMA) has awarded a $6.2 million research grant to a consortium to improve Singapore's abilities to forecast the amount of solar power that the Republic generates.

This will allow the authorities to better plan for the demand and supply of electricity in the national grid.

The launch of the consortium, which is led by the National University of Singapore (NUS), was announced by Senior Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth, and Trade and Industry Sim Ann on Monday (Oct 23) at the opening of this year's Singapore International Energy Week.
