The Yokogawa grid grant will provide S$4.2 million for a Singapore project exploring how industrial and distributed energy assets can help stabilize the electricity grid. Yokogawa Engineering Asia announced the award on October 28, 2026.

Key Takeaways

  • Yokogawa will lead the project with two Singapore universities and Rexus Bioenergy.
  • The pilot site is Rexus’s 9.9 MW waste-to-energy plant.

What the Yokogawa grid grant will fund

The award was made under the Energy Market Authority’s Energy Grid 3.0 Grant Call, part of its Future Grid Capabilities Roadmap. The project will examine whether facilities such as manufacturing plants and data centers can provide grid support while continuing their primary operations.

The planned grid stability demonstration will involve the National University of Singapore, Singapore Institute of Technology and Rexus Bioenergy alongside Yokogawa. The project is exploratory; the announcement did not report results from the pilot.

The Advanced Energy and Decarbonisation Office, hosted by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, administers the grant. It took over that responsibility from the Energy Market Authority on August 1, 2026.

How the pilot is intended to work

The project plans to integrate BaxEnergy’s Convera Power Plant Controller with Yokogawa’s OpreX Collaborative Information Server. Yokogawa said the controller coordinates multiple energy resources in real time, while the information server brings operational data from different systems together.

The proposed approach is intended to help industrial sites participate in grid services as Singapore incorporates more renewable energy. The announcement did not specify a pilot start date or completion date.
