Background

Energy efficiency is one of Singapore’s key strategies to mitigate the impact of climate change and at the same time improve economic competitiveness and enhance energy security. Singapore aims to promote energy efficient technologies and measures, develop energy efficiency capability and raise awareness of energy efficiency among businesses and the public. S$18.9 million of the 2009 budget is allocated to fund related programmes.

Germany enjoys an outstanding reputation throughout the world for its high-quality technical products and its practical expertise, particularly in the field of energy efficiency. In April 2009, Germany unveiled proposals to become the most energy-efficient country in the world.
