- The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is stepping up efforts to engage young Singaporeans on the nation’s energy future with the launch of the Emagination Challenge today. The Challenge invites youths to put their creativity to work through a mascot design competition, with a top prize of $10,000. Members of public can also visit EMA’s Energy Arcade exhibition this week to learn more about the Challenge and Singapore’s energy future.
- As a small country with limited natural resources, Singapore relies heavily on imported natural gas for electricity generation today. As the nation diversifies its energy sources and explore new energy pathways, it is important for Singaporeans to understand the opportunities, challenges and trade-offs for its energy future. EMA’s public engagement efforts aim to make these issues more accessible and relevant to Singaporeans.
- Mr Puah Kok Keong, Chief Executive of EMA, said: “The topic of energy can be complex and technical to many. Our series of community engagement activities aims to make energy issues more accessible, and keep the public updated on our energy transition journey. We are also excited to welcome the contributions of our youths. Through the creativity and fresh perspectives of our young stakeholders, we look forward to making energy issues more relatable to their peers and the wider community.”
- The Emagination Challenge is open to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents aged 15 to 35, with submissions accepted from 13 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. Participants are invited to design a mascot that will help bring Singapore’s energy story to life. The winning design will be featured in EMA’s future public engagement and outreach initiatives. More details of the Challenge are in Annex A.
- As part of the Challenge, EMA is collaborating with Institutes of Higher Learning and other partners to provide youths with opportunities to learn more about Singapore’s energy landscape. Collectively, these efforts aim to make energy issues accessible and relevant to youths with diverse interests and backgrounds. The list of these partners is in Annex B.
- Between 12 and 15 November 2026, the public can also visit EMA’s third exhibition this year, Energy Arcade, to find out more about what it takes to keep Singapore powered for the long term. Featuring four themed game zones and free hands-on workshops, Energy Arcade is being held at Junction 8's Level 2 Atrium in Bishan.
