YTL PowerSeraya won the CCGT request-for-proposal in January, under a new centralised process announced last July by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) of Singapore to safeguard the nation’s power system. This comes ahead of Singapore’s ambition to be a global leader in AI and quantum computing, which will require large swaths of power.
A 600-megawatt (MW) hydrogen-ready combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) has commenced construction on Jurong Island by YTL PowerSeraya, costing $800 million.
The power plant is targeted for completion on Dec 31, 2027, and will be 50% hydrogen capable upon completion. It can be retrofitted to achieve 100% hydrogen-readiness in the future. Upon completion, it will have the capacity to power about 864,000 four-room HDB flats in Singapore.
