Schneider Electric and DSTA Collaborate on Green Technologies and Cybersecurity

Schneider Electric Singapore and the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to advance green technologies and cybersecurity capabilities in Singapore.

The collaboration will explore the deployment of smart grid systems that integrate multiple energy resources — including renewable energy — to maintain power resiliency. Both organisations will also work on digital twin technology for building systems, enabling real-time monitoring, analysis, and performance optimisation to improve operational efficiency and sustainability.

Strengthening Cybersecurity for Operational Technology

Beyond energy innovations, the partnership will focus on enhancing cybersecurity for Operational Technology (OT) systems, which manage and control physical processes in critical facilities. This includes sharing best practices in both sustainability and cybersecurity to create resilient, future-ready infrastructure.

Driving Sustainability and Innovation

“The collaboration aligns with DSTA’s commitment to sustainability. By working together with Schneider Electric to develop green technology, we are building smarter, more resilient infrastructure while sharpening our engineering expertise through knowledge sharing, joint solutioning, and exposure to emerging technologies,” said Mr Tan Tze Leng, Director Building and Infrastructure, DSTA.

Mr Yoon Young Kim, Cluster President, Singapore and Brunei, Schneider Electric, added: “Digital technologies such as smart microgrids and building digital twins can reduce energy consumption, cut emissions and lower costs. This partnership demonstrates Singapore’s commitment to its net zero goal while enhancing its reputation for embracing technological progress.”
