According to Sembcorp, ESS is key to supporting solar deployment and enhancing grid reliability and energy supply security in Singapore. The group is one of Asia’s largest ESS operators with a battery storage portfolio of 501MW / 709MWh in Singapore and the UK.
Sembcorp Industries has successfully commissioned Southeast Asia’s largest Energy Storage System (ESS) of 285MWh within six months. The group was appointed by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) to develop the facility on Jurong Island in June.
The facility has a contracted capacity to store and deliver 200MW of power for one hour. This will be sufficient to meet the daily electricity needs of nearly 17,000 four-room Housing & Development Board (HDB) flats in a single discharge, based on the average household consumption in 2019.
