Singapore's first town built for district cooling sold it along with the flats. The first installations leaked in 2023, subscriptions dipped, and the car-lite town centre is still to come.

Tengah is Singapore's first HDB town master-planned from scratch as a smart, sustainable "Forest Town" (plans unveiled in September 2016). Early residents, who began collecting keys in 2023, live with SP Group's centralised (district) cooling — the first large-scale residential deployment in Singapore's public housing — plus an automated pneumatic waste-conveyance system, EV charging and a smart-energy app; the first installations leaked in 2023, SP Group says the workmanship problems have since been fixed, and HDB has contracted later projects to a second cooling provider, Keppel. By December 2025 more than 14,000 of the roughly 30,000 flats planned had been completed. The signature car-lite town centre, with vehicle roads running underneath, is still to come: in December 2025 HDB listed the town centre among the amenities due in the coming years.

In build 📅 since 2016

📊 Impact

What followed the first move-ins was a launch problem rather than a measured saving: after leaks in 2023, SP Group's cooling subscriptions fell from 10,600, or eight in ten flat owners, to more than 9,000, seven in ten, by February 2024, and some residents sought legal recourse. SP responded with an extra six months' warranty and a reduced usage rate.

🎓 Lesson

Bundling a new utility into the sale of a flat makes the operator's first-year workmanship the town's reputation: Tengah's district cooling was sold before key collection, the first installations leaked, and the operator had to answer with longer warranties and a lower tariff. The energy saving that justified it — up to 30% less than conventional air-conditioning — is a design figure that no published measurement in occupied flats has yet confirmed.

Caveat
Both figures are SP Group's own counts; the share also depends on how many flats had been handed over at each date.
