MPA completes 1,092-panel solar project at Marina South Pier

System can generate up to 780,000 kWh of electricity annually.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has completed the installation of a solar energy system at Marina South Pier (MSP), adding 1,092 solar photovoltaic (PV) panels across about 3,200 square metres of rooftop and canopy space.

The system can generate up to 780,000 kWh of electricity annually, equivalent to the yearly electricity consumption of about 180 four-room HDB flats. It is expected to meet a significant portion of MSP’s electricity demand, with the terminal’s electrical systems to be progressively upgraded to optimise the use of renewable energy.

The solar installation will also support the current and future charging requirements of electric harbour craft operating at Marina South Pier.

MPA said the project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its shore-based operations and supports the public sector’s GreenGov.SG sustainability efforts.

The project is part of MPA’s wider efforts to expand renewable energy use across its shore-based facilities. MPA is also replacing diesel generators on Pulau Satumu with renewable electricity, with the island expected to be fully powered by renewable energy before the end of 2027.

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.
