Singapore is once again showing strong commitment to sustainability in 2025 by enhancing its Climate Friendly Households Programme (CFHP). As part of this national initiative, eligible households will now receive Climate Vouchers worth $400, designed to encourage the purchase of energy- and water-efficient appliances. This initiative, coordinated by the National Environment Agency (NEA) along with PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency, aims to cut utility costs and promote more sustainable everyday choices.

New Increase in Voucher Value
The biggest change in 2025 is the increase in the voucher value from $300 to $400 per household. This higher amount shows Singapore’s stronger push to motivate residents to invest in greener technologies. With households often facing higher living costs, this increase directly helps families afford more efficient appliances, lowering both electricity and water bills.
This update also reflects the government’s confidence that supporting households financially can lead to real, measurable reductions in the nation’s environmental footprint.
Supporting the Broader Singapore Green Plan 2030
Beyond immediate savings, the enhanced Climate Voucher scheme aligns closely with the Singapore Green Plan 2030. This national plan sets bold targets, like greening 80% of buildings and reducing carbon emissions.
By focusing on household appliances, the government encourages families to replace outdated, inefficient products with modern, certified models. These small changes, multiplied across thousands of homes, significantly support Singapore’s goal of creating a low-carbon, resource-efficient society.
How the 2025 Climate Voucher Distribution Works
The structure of the voucher system for 2025 is divided into two main groups:
- Households that did not redeem vouchers in 2024:
These families can claim the full amount of $400. - Households that redeemed $300 in 2024:
These households are entitled to a top-up voucher of $100.
The entire process is digital, using the secure RedeemSG system, which makes it easy, quick, and paperless.
Eligibility Criteria for Claiming the Climate Voucher
Not every household automatically qualifies. To be eligible for the vouchers in 2025, you must:
- Reside in either public or private housing within Singapore.
- Have at least one household member who is either a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident.
- Possess an active SingPass account and a verified mobile number, because vouchers are sent digitally via SMS.
Meeting these criteria ensures that the scheme benefits Singapore residents and keeps the distribution process secure and accountable.
How to Redeem Your Voucher
Claiming the vouchers is quick and fully digital. Follow these steps:
- Log in to the RedeemSG portal using your SingPass credentials.
- The system will check your household’s eligibility.
- Once approved, you will receive a QR code voucher via SMS.
- Save this QR code securely—it will act as your digital voucher.
- Present the QR code at participating physical stores or apply it when shopping with approved online sellers.
Households claiming for the first time get the full $400, while returning households receive the $100 top-up.
Where and How to Spend the Climate Vouchers
Over 500 retail outlets across Singapore accept these vouchers, including:
- Large electronics stores
- Popular supermarkets
- Specialist eco-product retailers
When shopping online, only select sellers on platforms like Shopee and Lazada participate in the programme. You must check the seller’s voucher eligibility and follow instructions during checkout.
Always look for appliances with approved energy or water efficiency certifications before using your voucher.
Economic and Environmental Gains from the Initiative
This initiative does more than lower utility bills. It also:
- Encourages families to adopt long-term sustainable habits
- Reduces the demand on Singapore’s power grid and water supply
- Contributes to national targets on carbon emissions and water conservation
Over time, households benefit from lower utility bills, and Singapore strengthens its resilience against climate change.
Building Climate Responsibility at Home
Through the 2025 Climate Voucher programme, Singapore demonstrates how small, practical steps—like upgrading appliances—can support large national climate goals.
By making the vouchers easy to claim and use, the government removes barriers and ensures every eligible household can join in building a greener future.
This initiative is proof that combining financial incentives with community responsibility can successfully change daily habits, leading to a more sustainable nation.
