This is in addition to PacificLight’s existing 830MW CCGT facility that has been in operation since 2014, and 100MW of Fast Start Capacity that is currently under construction.
PacificLight’s 600MW CCGT will include a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS). The group notes that the greenfield site on Jurong Island is large enough for the build of a second CCGT unit and a carbon capture, utilisation, and storage technology (CCUS) in future.
According to PacificLight, it generates close to 10% of Singapore’s annual electricity demand. The company is owned by shareholders under First Pacific Group and Meralco PowerGen Corporation.
