The facility is designed to run on low-carbon fuels over time.
Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp) announced that its 600-megawatt hydrogen-ready combined-cycle gas turbine in Jurong Island began commercial operation on 28 October.
The firm said the new capacity will help provide reliable power for Singapore’s energy-heavy industries. The facility is also designed to accommodate low-carbon fuels over time.
Sembcorp collaborated with Jurong Energy Limited and Mitsubishi Power for the construction of this capacity.
Currently, Sembcorp has a 5.7 gigawatt (GW) gas-fired and renewables portfolio in Singapore and more than 2GW of regional renewable energy import opportunities.
Koh Chiap Khiong, Sembcorp's president and CEO of Gas and Related Services and CEO of Singapore, said that the new facility will support Singapore’s artificial intelligence-driven growth and enhance the country’s energy resilience.
