SINGAPORE – Singaporeans can learn more about the country’s transition towards cleaner energy sources at a new pop-up event at Funan mall, and stand a chance to win vouchers for use at local chains such as FairPrice.

Held from March 16 to 22 during the March school holidays, “Power, Up Close” is an interactive exhibit by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) in its ongoing public education efforts to strengthen awareness of Singapore’s journey to achieve cleaner electricity generation and energy security.

Through three different stations featuring an LED display and interactive panels, visitors can learn about low-carbon alternatives Singapore is exploring, such as nuclear and geothermal, and the challenges the country faces in balancing energy priorities. 

They can also pedal on a stationary bicycle or turn a hand crank at one of the stations to see how much electricity they can produce, allowing them to experience the physical effort required to generate energy. 

Those who complete the stations can spin a wheel to redeem vouchers for FairPrice, Ya Kun Kaya Toast or electronics retailer Challenger. 

“Singapore’s energy transition involves complex choices as the nation works to balance sustainability, energy security and affordability,” said Ms Juliana Chow, director of communications at EMA.
