Upgrading Singapore’s Grid for Tomorrow

As Singapore accelerates its shift toward a low-carbon energy future, the national power grid is facing increasing strain. Much of the country’s high-voltage infrastructure built between the 1980s and early 2000s was designed to support a very different era of urbanization and industrial growth. Today, electricity demand is rising, domestic solar power is expanding and regional electricity imports play a growing role in the nation’s energy mix.

To address these challenges, Singapore is undertaking in one of its largest high-voltage transmission upgrades to date. As project management consultant, Jacobs is drawing on global expertise to help deliver this critical initiative by supporting grid modernization and resilience while enabling the integration of cleaner energy sources for decades to come.

Jacobs is providing comprehensive oversight across all project phases from technical integrity, construction quality, safety compliance and stakeholder coordination. Our team’s proven capability in contract administration, design and document reviews, site supervision, regulatory engagement and progress reporting helps ensure successful delivery of these projects.

Developing the energy workforce of the future

Singapore’s transition to a more sustainable energy system is expected to bring significant workforce growth over the next decade. Building a strong, future-ready talent pipeline is essential and that means equipping local professionals with the skills, experience and opportunities needed in a rapidly evolving energy landscape and to contribute meaningfully to national sustainability goals.

Jacobs has embedded early-career engineers and technical professionals directly into the project team to gain hands-on experience in site coordination, stakeholder engagement, technical documentation and project reporting building the capabilities needed in the energy sector.

Through structured mentorship, multi-disciplinary collaboration and real-world project exposure, these professionals will gain the tools to help lead Singapore’s energy future.
