GetSolar and BeeX are among the "Top 6 Renewable Energy Companies in Singapore to Watch in 2025" by Climate Insider.
So far, GetSolar has installed over 150 systems, through which it claims to have avoided the release of 30,000 tons of CO₂. BeeX’s methods reduce required personnel by 70%, as well as carbon emissions and operational costs by 95% and 50% respectively.
At the moment, Singapore doesn’t have much of a renewable energy industry to speak of. The city-state runs on around 99% petroleum and natural gas; the remaining 1% is split between coal and renewables. Most of its energy is also imported. The reason: despite being one of the richest countries in the world by GDP measured in purchasing power parity (PPP), it’s just not geographically blessed in the clean energy department. Wind? It blows at speeds too slow for power generation. Geothermal? There aren’t any subsurface hotspots suitable for traditional methods. The tides? Singapore’s seas are too calm, and its ports too congested. Hydroelectric? With what fast-moving river? Biomass or nuclear? Population density is way too high.
But that isn’t stopping renewable energy companies in Singapore from trying. The city-state has high hopes for solar power, the only type of established renewable energy that it can produce domestically; its goal is to have 2 GW up and running by 2030. Since Singapore is already a tech hub, these changes have given rise to a wave of renewable energy companies and startups hoping to chip in.
