Sembcorp inks deal with Cache Logistics Trust for 7.9MWp of rooftop solar

One of the facilities will house Singapore’s largest rooftop solar facility.

Sembcorp Industries inked an agreement with Singaporean firm Cache Logistics Trust (Cache) for the installation and operation of rooftop solar farms at three logistics warehouses in Singapore.

According to an announcement, Sembcorp will install, own and operate rooftop solar panels with a combined capacity of approximately 7.9MWp, atop Cache’s Commodity Hub, Pandan Logistics Hub, and Cache Changi Districentre 1. Any surplus solar power generated will be channelled to the grid.

When completed, Commodity Hub will house Singapore’s largest rooftop solar facility to date, representing some 6.2MW in peak capacity.

When fully installed in mid-2019, the system is expected to produce over 9,400MWh of power annually, or enough renewable energy to power more than 2,000 four-room HDB flats in a single year. It will also help avoid close to 4 million kg of carbon dioxide emissions a 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.
