“HDB to Bring Solar Energy to Over 8,000 Blocks Through SolarNova Programme," a web post from Housing & Development Board (HDB) (2022), states that HDB plans to achieve a total solar capacity target of 540 megawatt-peak (MWp) by 2030 for 1290 HDB blocks and 99 government sites. This goal equates to the energy required to run 135,000 4-room HDB apartments for a year. HDB discusses its plans to reach this goal with its seventh solar leasing tender for the SolarNova programme. Along with HDB, this programme is spearheaded by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) to expedite the installation of photovoltaic (PV) systems in Singapore. This initiative is also a crucial element of the HDB Green Towns Programme (GTP), which strives to make HDB towns more sustainable by reducing energy usage with solar panels. As of now, including its latest tender, HDB reported a total solar capacity of 380 MWp has been committed for over 8400 blocks. To benefit from economies of scale and mi
