More than 30,000 solar panels have been installed onsite, with the renewable energy being channelled to the national grid. The system is expected to produce about 22,500 megawatt-hours of electricity annually, which can power over 5,000 four-room HDB flats in Singapore for a year.
Jen Tan, Sembcorp’s head of renewables business for Singapore and Indonesia, says: “By leveraging existing land and our expertise in modular, scalable solar design, we are pleased to contribute meaningfully to Singapore’s solar energy targets and further solidify our role as a key enabler of the country’s sustainable energy future.”
Philbert Chua, managing director of PSA Singapore’s container division, says integrating renewable energy solutions into infrastructure, such as re-purposing this container yard space, “underscores PSA’s unwavering commitment to sustainability”.
Sembcorp is Singapore’s largest solar energy provider and contributes to over half of Singapore’s 1.5 gigawatt-peak (GWp) national solar energy target for 2025.
