EMA, Shell invite SMEs to co-create energy solutions

This is to develop solutions to manage Shell’s service stations.

The Energy Market Authority (EMA) and Shell have issued a joint grant call for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to develop smart and clean energy solutions for Shell’s network of service stations, according to an announcement. This is said to not only power the stations but also provide fast charging for electric vehicles (EVs).

The grant call would develop smart energy management system solutions to manage Shell’s service stations. This system is said to integrate the use of solar power and energy storage systems (ESS) to power its stations, and provide fast charging for EVs. The charging is expected to be three times faster than the existing Shell Recharge 50kW rapid DC chargers.

Further, the grant call is also looking for an ESS equipped with enhanced cooling and fire safety features which would be used to power the service stations’ operations and mitigate the intermittent nature of solar power.

The call is supported by Enterprise Singapore under the Gov-PACT initiative. Successful SMEs, who could be part of a consortium, would have their solutions from the grant call deployed at Shell’s service stations.

In the Singapore Energy Story, the goal is to achieve at least 2GW-peak of solar power by 2030 and an ESS deployment of 200 megawatts beyond 2025. This will generate enough solar energy for 350,000 households each year.

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.
