Overview

As Singapore transitions towards a carbon-free energy future, how can we reduce our carbon footprint by leveraging the four switches and managing energy demand to achieve a more sustainable Singapore by 2050?

The Singapore Energy Grand Challenge (Youth) invites all students to put your imagination and creativity to the test through designing and coming up with innovative solutions to achieve a more sustainable Singapore in 2050 and beyond!

Form a team of two to four with your schoolmates to participate in any of the 3 categories and submit a proposal:

• Junior (lower secondary students) and Senior (upper secondary and junior college students)
• Institutes of Higher Learning (ITE, polytechnic and university students)

Winning teams will win a total of $50,000 in cash prizes across the 3 categories.

There are 3 phases that you need to take note of:

Phase 1 – Virtual Mass Briefing:

1. Register your interest for the virtual mass briefing to interact with EMA and industry representatives by 2 June 2022, 12:00pm.

2. The company-specific problem statements tied to the challenge are:

a. Keppel Infrastructure: “With increasing energy demand, Keppel is seeking an integrated solution to reduce energy consumption of a typical building in Singapore through digital technologies such as Internet of Things/Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning. The proposed solution should consider the environmental impact, system stability and cost-effectiveness.”

b. Schneider Electric: “With increasing electric vehicle (EV) adoption, Schneider is seeking proposals to reduce carbon emissions and maintain grid reliability. The proposed solution should be cost-effective, suitable for deployment with minimal disruption to existing infrastructure, and increase the use of clean energy for EV charging.”

c. Sembcorp Industries: “Singapore aims to have at least 2 gigawatt-peak of solar deployed by 2030. With more solar in our energy mix, Sembcorp is seeking ways to manage intermittency. The proposed solution may include new technologies to manage the amount of energy flowing into the grid or by creating a suitable environment to maximise the deployment of solar panels. It should be cost-effective, minimise its impact on the grid, be easy to deploy and maintain.”

Phase 2 – Submission:

1. Submit a PowerPoint deck (maximum of 7 slides in .pdf) to showcase the proposed solution(s) to address the selected company-specific problem statement.

2. Submission period opens from 4 June to 7 July 2022, 5:00pm (extended).

Phase 3 – Semi-Finals and Grand Final [Ongoing]:

1. Semi-Finalists will present their proposals on 2 September 2022.

2. Finalists will be mentored by the industry representatives to refine their ideas, and pitch to the judging panel and live audience at Youth@SIEW on 28 October 2022.
