Solar panels installed on the roof top of Palawan Kidz City on Nov 14, 2023.

Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC)
announced its intention in June 2022 to launch a solarisation programme, as part of its continued commitment to make Sentosa a carbon-neutral tourism destination by 2030. Since then, it has embarked on a joint effort with five island businesses under the first phase of the programme, where solar panels have been deployed across a total of 46 locations under SDC, Mount Faber Leisure Group, Resorts World Sentosa, Capella Singapore, and ONEÁ15 Marina
Sentosa Cove, as well as Big Tiny, which operates Tiny Away Escape @ Lazarus Island.

Over 5.2 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar capacity has been installed, surpassing the original target of 3 MWp. The new capacity is expected to produce close to 6.6 gigawatt hours (GWh) of clean energy annually, and has the potential to achieve an overall reduction of more than 2,600 tonnes CO2e1 per year, equivalent to the carbon emissions generated by 97,700 hotel room nights.
