They have appointed Singapore-based decarbonisation platform operator Univers and power generator and retailer PacificLight Power to design, build and operate the smart grid, integrating a battery energy storage system (BESS) with solar photovoltaic (PV) panels.
Singapore’s first-ever district-level smart grid, expected to be completed in mid-2026, will be the largest of its kind to enhance energy efficiency by drawing from renewable energy sources. In the future, it could store energy generated from on-site solar panels and discharge excess energy to the national grid during peak demand periods.
Located at Punggol Digital District (PDD), the digitally enabled smart grid is being jointly developed by JTC, the Energy Market Authority (EMA) and the Public Sector Science and Technology Policy and Plans Office under the Prime Minister’s Office.
