HSBC Singapore extends S$6m green loan to Durapower Group

Durapower will use the loan for its lithium-ion energy storage solutions.

HSBC Singapore has extended a S$6m green trade loan to Durapower Group, reportedly making it the first participating financial institution to issue a loan by leveraging the Enterprise Financing Scheme - Green (EFS Green Scheme).

Durapower plans to use the proceeds to accelerate its development and distribution of high-tech energy storage solutions using lithium-ion batteries for the Tuas Mega Port’s Automated Guided Vehicle fleet.

“This will enable Durapower to accelerate the supply and deployment of our advanced lithium-ion batteries for the Tuas Mega Port’s AGV fleet, thereby supporting Singapore’s maritime sector to create a greener port through the adoption of sustainable, smart and efficient clean energy solutions,” said CEO Kelvin Lim of Durapower.

Launched on 3 October by Enterprise Singapore, the EFS-Green Scheme aims to provide easier access to finance for corporates who are enablers of the transition to a greener economy.

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.
