PUB, Sembcorp inked 25-year power purchase agreement

The plan is to build a floating solar PV system on Tengeh Reservoir.

National water agency PUB and Sembcorp Industries’ subsidiary Sembcorp Floating Solar Singapore, signed a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA), according to an announcement.

The agreement is to build a 60 megawatt-peak (MWp) floating solar photovoltaic (PV) system on Tengeh Reservoir. The solar power generated is said to meet the energy needs for operations at PUB’s five local waterworks, including Marina Barrage.

This follows PUB's announcement in appointing Sembcorp to design, build, own, and operate the project.

Under the agreement, Sembcorp will deploy over 146,000 solar panels at Tengeh Reservoir in Tuas to generate energy and offset about 32 kilotonnes of carbon emissions annually. The panels would be installed on corrosion-resistant floats, utilising PV modules to maximise solar energy yield.

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.
