Energy efficiency

Energy Efficiency Grant: for operating cost improvements, not digitalisation.

EEG is not an AI or software grant, but it belongs in a practical SME grant guide because energy-efficient equipment can directly improve operating cost structure.

Short version: Enterprise Singapore describes EEG as support for businesses improving energy efficiency through investment in energy-efficient equipment, with base and advanced support tiers. Check the official page for current sectors, equipment lists, and caps.

When EEG tends to fit

  • You are replacing equipment with supported energy-efficient alternatives.
  • Energy cost is material enough to affect margins.
  • The payback period makes sense even after maintenance and operating constraints.

How to think about ROI

Compare the full cost of purchase, installation, downtime, maintenance, expected energy savings, and useful life. A grant lowers cost, but it does not make every upgrade sensible.
