Regulatory Sandbox
Regulatory Sandbox for Energy Sector Innovations
EMA offers the Sandbox to support energy innovations in Singapore. Sandboxes create ‘safe spaces’ where
participating companies may be granted temporary regulatory waivers to test
their innovative solutions.
In 2019, we made some additional enhancements.
-
Thematic Sandboxes: What
this basically means is we will put out challenge statements that we hope you
can join us in solving. This is our way of letting you know what our top-of-mind issues are. For ideas unrelated to the challenge statements, you can still submit your proposals to us via the incumbent Generic Sandbox. The challenge statements for Thematic Sandboxes can be found at:
- www.ema.gov.sg/Cocreating.aspx; and
- www.ema.gov.sg/Industry_Energy_Research_and_Development.aspx.
-
Additional areas of support: You
may be familiar that EMA offers R&D Grants to support industry innovation.
Grant applicants may now also indicate if Sandboxing relief is necessary.
Besides offering Grants and Sandboxing relief in tandem, we are also prepared
to share Data for your innovation efforts.
- Simplified application
form:
We have made the application process more convenient for you – www.go.gov.sg/energysandboxform.
Interested parties may write in to sandbox@ema.gov.sg to find out more about this initiative.
