Energy Efficiency Grant (EEG)

Energy Efficiency Grant

Funds Singapore companies through the Energy Efficiency Grant to replace equipment with efficient alternatives.

The Energy Efficiency Grant (EEG), administered by Enterprise Singapore, helps Singapore businesses reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by subsidising the purchase of energy-efficient equipment. The Base Tier was expanded to all sectors effective 7 April 2026 (previously limited to six sectors: Construction, Data Centres, Food Services, Manufacturing including Food Manufacturing, Maritime, and Retail). Both SMEs and non-SMEs are eligible provided the company is registered and operating in Singapore, holds at least 30% local shareholding (waived for data centre operators), and has group annual sales turnover not exceeding S$500 million.

The Base Tier covers pre-approved energy-efficient equipment at up to 70% for SMEs and 30% for non-SMEs, capped at S$30,000 per applicant, and runs through 31 March 2027. The Advanced Tier is restricted to Construction and Manufacturing (including Food Manufacturing) companies and supports non-pre-approved equipment that achieves at least 350 tonnes of lifetime carbon abatement. Advanced Tier awards are calculated as the lower of the base-tier percentage rate or a grant based on lifetime energy savings, with a combined cap of S$350,000. The Advanced Tier programme extends through 31 March 2028.

Applications are submitted via the Business Grants Portal using Corppass credentials. Required documents include vendor quotations, product brochures, utility bills, tenancy agreements, and financial statements. A critical eligibility condition is that equipment procurement must not commence before the grant application is approved — any prior purchase disqualifies the applicant. Companies targeting the Advanced Tier should confirm the equipment meets the ≥350-tonne lifetime carbon abatement threshold before applying.
