Schneider Electric released findings from a study into the energy needs of companies in Singapore. The survey, which included 513 professionals from companies listed on SGX across 14 industries, found that 94% of respondents expect to increase investment in energy-efficient technologies over the next 12 months. High upfront costs were cited as the primary barrier to this increased investment by 35% of the surveyed companies. The study also noted that 77% of companies affected by recent geopolitical and energy supply chain developments are taking active steps to adjust their operational approach.
