History Founded in 1861 as the Singapore Gas Company, City Energy constructed Kallang Gasworks in 1862 to manufacture town gas for street lighting. This facility operated for over 130 years before being replaced by Senoko Gasworks in 1997. Over the years, City Energy has consistently improved the quality and reliability of town gas while continuously moving towards lower-carbon town gas. In 1966, City Energy established naphtha gas-making plants, and in 2003, it started including natural gas in its production process. In 1902, City Energy’s customer base numbered just 500. To widen its reach, the company lowered gas prices and provided free gas lamps to new customers. These efforts were aided by the introduction of the petroleum tax, which increased electricity prices and contributed to the rising demand for gas. By 2004, the company had secured 500,000 customers, and in 2017, it achieved the 800,000th customer milestone. In December 2021, City Gas rebranded to City Energy, marking a new era of providing innovative, lower-carbon energy solutions in alignment with Singapore’s sustainability goals. City Energy hit the 900,000th customer milestone in 2024.
