JTC's move to boost solar power generation in industrial estates will increase the total solar generation capacity on Jurong Island from 25.2MWp to 142.2MWp, equivalent to powering over 33,400 4-room HDB flats annually and reducing over 63,220 tonnes of carbon emission per year.
Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp) (SGX:U96
) has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Sembcorp Solar Singapore has been awarded a solar deployment tender on Jurong Island by JTC with a contracted capacity of 117 megawatt peak (MWp).
Equivalent to some 80MW, the tender is the largest project by capacity awarded by a public sector agency in Singapore to date. The solar deployment on Jurong Island will cover 60 ha of interim vacant land and the rooftops of five JTC buildings, including the Jurong Rock Caverns above-ground facilities and Jurong Island Checkpoint.
