Definitions

Data refer to the percentage of final consumption of energy that is derived from renewable resources.

Concepts

Renewable energy consumption includes consumption of energy derived from: hydro, solid biofuels, wind, solar, liquid biofuels, biogas, geothermal, marine and waste. Total final energy consumption includes those consumed for non-energy use, and is calculated from national balances and statistics.

Computational Method

(Final energy consumption from all renewable sources) / (Total final energy consumption) x 100%
Renewable energy consumption is derived from multiplying the share of renewables in electricity output table (i.e., fuel mix, based on output method) by final consumption of electricity. This is based on the United Nations Statistics Division's recommended methodology to compute the indicator.

Data Collection

Data on renewable energy consumption and final energy consumption are derived from EMA's Singapore Energy Statistics (SES) and on EMA's website. The power sector reports energy-related data to EMA as part of regulatory reporting. EMA also undertakes survey(s) to collate energy-related data from non-EMA licensees for statistical purposes.
