PUB opens tender for 55 MW floating solar panels at Pandan Reservoir

The tender will close on 26 September.

The Public Utilities Board (PUB) has called for tenders for the development of a 55 megawatt-peak (MWp) floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) system at Pandan Reservoir.

The appointed developer will install floating solar panels on the reservoir's surface, covering 22% of the space.

The developer will be involved in the engineering, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance of the floating solar PV (FPV) system.

PUB aims to complete the project in 2028.

Once completed, PUB said the FPV system will generate enough solar energy to power the equivalent of 16,000 four-room HDB flats. 

"The FPV will help to reduce carbon emissions by about 27 kilotonnes annually, similar to taking 5,800 cars off the road," PUB added.

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.
