PacificLight to build 600 MW hydrogen-ready CCGT plant in Singapore

Operation will commence in January 2029.

Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) has awarded the right to build, own, and operate a 600 megawatt (MW) hydrogen-ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) facility on Jurong Island to PacificLight Power Pte Ltd (PLP).

In a statement, PLP said the plant, set to commence operation in January 2029, will be the “largest single, and most efficient, state-of-the-art H-class, CCGT in Singapore.” It will be built on a greenfield site, and will include a large-scale battery energy storage system, a first in the city-state.

The 600 MW plant will initially use at least 30% hydrogen then transition to 100% hydrogen in the future.

PLP said the site on Jurong Island can still accommodate a second CCGT unit as well as possibly a Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) technology.

The plant will be in addition to PLP’s existing 830 MW CCGT facility, and 100 MW of Fast Start capacity, which is currently under construction and due to commence operations in the second quarter of 2025.

“By integrating hydrogen-ready and battery storage technologies, the new facility will position PacificLight to transition to a low-carbon future. We are committed to delivering the new plant safely and on schedule,” said PLP CEO Yu Tat Ming.

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.
