IMDA Energy Efficiency Grant (Data Centres)

IMDA administers the Energy Efficiency Grant specifically for companies using Singapore commercial data centres. Other sectors are handled by BCA (Construction), NEA (Manufacturing), MPA (Maritime), and EnterpriseSG (Food Services/Retail).

S$30,000 per company for the grant period (until 31 March 2027). Multiple applications are allowed, subject to the total cap.

Any business entity registered and operating in Singapore with a Group Annual Sales Turnover of no more than S$500 million. Both SMEs and non-SMEs can apply. There is no minimum local shareholding requirement for the Data Centre sector.

For the purpose of the 70% funding rate, SME means Group Annual Sales Turnover of no more than S$100 million OR Group Employment Size of not more than 200 employees. Non-SMEs (with turnover above S$100M or more than 200 staff, up to the S$500M eligibility ceiling) receive 30% support instead.

SMEs receive up to 70% co-funding on qualifying equipment costs. Non-SMEs receive up to 30%. Grant support is capped at S$30,000 across all of a company's EEG applications.

The current window runs until 31 March 2027. Applications must be submitted before this date.
