Mr Ng Shi Xuan: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry in respect of the Energy Efficiency Grant (EEG) (a) whether the removal of the minimum eligibility criterion of at least one local employee at the firm-level was communicated to prospective applicants; (b) if so, when and how; and (c) whether the Ministry has seen an increase in the number of applications as a result.

Written Answer by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong:

1.       I refer to our response to a related question filed by the Member on 15 October 2025, where we shared details on the removal of the minimum eligibility criterion for the Energy Efficiency Grant since June 2025. This change was reflected in relevant materials and websites of administering agencies, including the GoBusiness website.

2.       The number of applications for the Grant increased in the three months after June 2025.
