Sembcorp Bags 117MWp Solar Deal in Singapore

• Sembcorp wins 117 MWp solar PV tender from Singapore's government, furthering its commitment to green energy with 25GW of renewable capacity by 2028.

Sembcorp Industries Ltd, a Singapore-based corporation, has won a tender for the installation of 117 MWp of solar photovoltaic (PV) plants in Jurong Island. The tender, awarded by the Singapore government agency JTC Corporation, is the largest solar power project by a public sector agency in Singapore. The project includes the construction of ground-mounted and rooftop PV systems atop five buildings.

Sembcorp is committed to investing SGD 10.5 billion (USD 7.8bn/EUR 7.2bn) in renewables in 2023-2028, with a goal of having 25 GW of gross installed renewables capacity and reducing carbon emissions by 50% by 2028. Currently, they are Singapore's largest green power provider, with a gross installed solar capacity of 702 MWp.

What Impact Does Sembcorp's 117 MWp Solar PV Plant in Jurong Island Have?

• The 117 MWp solar PV plant in Jurong Island is part of Sembcorp's commitment to investing in renewable energy.
• The project is the largest solar power project by a public sector agency in Singapore and is expected to generate up to 124.2 gigawatt-hours of clean energy each year, sufficient to power around 32,000 four-room HDB households annually.
• The project will reduce the country's carbon emissions by around 50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year, while also providing clean and sustainable energy for the island.
• The project will also create jobs in the area, as Sembcorp is working with local businesses and subcontractors to build and install the PV systems.
• It is hoped that this project will act as a catalyst for other similar renewable energy projects in Singapore, with the aim of making the country more environmentally sustainable.
