SIA, SIAEC inks 8.2 MWp PPA with Sembcorp Solar

Over 2,000 solar panels will be installed on SIA and SIAEC’s premises.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) and SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC) has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Sembcorp Solar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp), to install and operate rooftop solar panels on their premises, according to a press release.

Under the agreement, over 20,000 solar panels will be installed with a total capacity of 8.2 megawatt-peak (MWp).

The solar panels will power onsite operations at various facilities of SIA and SIAEC, where surplus power generated will be channelled to Singapore and Changi Airport’s electrical grids.

Upon completion in June 2020, the project is expected to produce over 10,200 megawatt hours of power annually.

The PPA is in line with the companies’ goal to reduce 15 percent of their electricity consumption.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
