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.
A new 18 megawatt-peak (MWp) ground-mount solar farm by Sembcorp Solar Singapore, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries (SGX:U96
) , has commenced operations at PSA Singapore’s Keppel Terminal.
Built on 15 hectares of existing yard space, the solar farm will operate for a period of approximately three years. It is designed to be modular and flexible, using a mobile transformer and hybrid substations, which, along with the solar panels, can be easily redeployed to other sites, says Sembcorp in a Jan 23 announcement.
