The remaining 5 MWp of solar generation capacity will come from a solar PV system installed at a 40,000 sqm turf area within Changi Airport’s airfield outside of aircraft operational areas. This will be the first time a solar PV system is installed in the airfield, marking the first step towards maximising solar potential at Changi Airport beyond conventional rooftop spaces.
Keppel (SGX:BN4
) has been appointed by Changi Airport Group (CAG) to design, build, own and operate a large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) system on the rooftop areas of Changi Airport’s terminal buildings, terminal auxiliary structures, airfield and cargo buildings for a period of 25 years.
When completed in early 2025, the solar PV system will have a combined generation capacity of 43 megawatt peak (MWp), of which 38 MWp will be installed on rooftops, making this Singapore’s largest single-site rooftop solar PV system.
