If successful, the solar farm would be the first large-scale solar project in Singapore where a sanitary landfill is also used for clean energy generation. The project is aligned with Singapore’s target to increase solar deployment to at least 2 gigawatt-peak (GWp) by 2030.
JTC Corporation (JTC) and Shell Singapore have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding MOU) to jointly explore developing a solar farm on part of Semakau Landfill located south of the Singapore mainland.
