City Energy Pte Ltd, formerly known as City Gas Pte Ltd, founded as Singapore Gas Company in 1861,[1] is the producer and retailer of piped town gas in Singapore. It is a fully owned subsidiary of Keppel Corporation.
In 1861, the Singapore Gas Company was established in 1861 to provide piped gas to light Singapore’s streets.[2] In the following year, the company built Kallang Gasworks, located at Kallang Basin in Kampung Bugis, which produced gas from coal. Coal from mines in Australia was shipped to the Gasworks via the Rochor and Kallang rivers.
In 1901, Singapore Gas Company was bought by the Municipal Commission.[3] [4]
