What is the Energy Efficiency Grant (EEG)?

Short answer

The Energy Efficiency Grant (EEG) co-funds up to 70% of the cost of pre-approved energy-efficient equipment — for example efficient refrigeration, motors, or air-conditioning. There's a base tier capped at S$30,000 and an advanced tier reaching up to S$350,000. It's aimed at energy-intensive operations like F&B, retail, and manufacturing.

Key facts

  • Up to 70% co-funding
  • Base tier S$30,000; advanced tier up to S$350,000
  • Funds pre-approved energy-efficient equipment
  • Targets energy-intensive sectors (F&B, retail, manufacturing)

EEG is the grant most often overlooked by businesses that would benefit most — if your power bill is a meaningful cost line, efficient equipment can pay back twice (the grant plus the energy savings).

The advanced tier's higher cap makes EEG worth a proper look for manufacturers and multi-outlet operators, not just a token equipment swap.
