A commercial fridge runs 24 hours a day for a decade — which is exactly why the Energy Efficiency Grant will carry up to 70% of the cost for an SME buying an efficient one. Everything below is from the official GoBusiness EEG pages, checked August 2026.
The EEG supports Singapore businesses buying energy-efficient equipment, including commercial refrigerators. The Base Tier supports pre-approved equipment at up to 70% for SMEs (up to 30% for non-SMEs), capped at S$30,000 per company. The Advanced Tier, for Construction and Manufacturing applicants (including food manufacturing) only, goes up to S$350,000 across both tiers for equipment with demonstrated large energy savings; Food Services businesses use the Base Tier. The Base Tier runs until 31 March 2028 and the Advanced Tier until 31 March 2027; the Base Tier has also been expanded to all sectors through a generic list that covers air-conditioners and LED lighting, while commercial refrigerators stay on the sector-specific lists.
For the Food Services sector: registered and operating in Singapore under SSIC 56 or 68104, holding a valid SFA licence, at least 30% local shareholding, and group annual sales turnover of not more than S$500 million. Manufacturing, including food manufacturing, has its own track, and refrigerators are supported equipment in both.
Only models on the official GoBusiness pre-approved equipment list qualify for the Base Tier. For commercial refrigerators, the published technical bar is a minimum 4-tick NEA rating for regulated commercial storage refrigerators, and inverter technology for other commercial refrigerator types. We carry 165 models on the EEG list; every one wears a green EEG badge on this site, and the model finder can filter to EEG-listed only.
Buying first. Equipment purchased before the EEG application is submitted cannot be claimed. Apply through the Business Grants Portal first; approved companies then have up to one year to purchase, install and submit claims.
They are separate schemes with separate caps. The EEG rewards energy efficiency and covers pre-approved refrigerator models at up to 70% for SMEs. The Productivity Solutions Grant covers productivity equipment categories such as blast chillers and blast freezers at 50% for SMEs. A fridge purchase goes through the EEG; a blast chiller goes through the PSG.
Pick the pre-approved model, get a quotation, and submit the application on the Business Grants Portal with a Corppass account — before any payment. You apply and declare your own eligibility; our step-by-step EEG guide explains each stage. Criteria and terms change from time to time, so check the current requirements on the official GoBusiness page before you commit.
Every model we carry that is on the EEG list is on one page, organised by category, each wearing the green badge, from Fukushima Galilei uprights and undercounters to Berjaya display lines and Kadeka models. Pick the category, shortlist by ticks and width, and we will quote it for your application.
