### English
* **Program Launch**: The Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme (Solar ATAP) was launched on Jan 1, 2026, to encourage households and businesses to generate their own renewable energy.
* **Objective**: The initiative aims to reduce electricity bills through self-consumption rather than direct cash subsidies, helping users buffer against global energy price fluctuations.
* **Financing for Businesses**: Non-domestic users can access solar leasing and rent-to-own models, removing the need for significant upfront capital.
* **Corporate Support**: Large-scale energy users are encouraged to utilize the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) for long-term, stable, and green electricity access.
* **Efficiency Measures**: The ministry advises consumers to use energy-efficient appliances (4-5 star rated), maintain an AC setting of 24°C, and utilize 'Time of Use' tariffs to manage costs.
