Sembcorp Marine, SP Group to develop solar energy digital system

It will reduce 30% of grid-supplied electricity during peak load.

Sembcorp Marine and Singapore Power Group (SP) inked a deal to develop a solar energy digital system at the local Sembcorp Marine Tuas Boulevard Yard.

According to a press release, the system combines 4.5 MegaWatt peak (MWp) solar panels to be installed atop the Tuas Boulevard steel fabrication workshop.

The system will generate and manage solar power to effectively reduce 30% of grid-supplied electricity consumed at the yard’s steel structure fabrication workshop during peak load.

The solar rooftop will deliver up to 5.38GWh of energy annually – enough to power almost 17,000 four-room flats and reduce 2,500 tonnes of carbon emissions per year

Sembcorp Marine added, besides the solar rooftop, the digital energy-saving system at Tuas Boulevard Yard will feature energy storage capabilities, energy sensors and a real-time digital platform to monitor, analyse and optimise energy usage in the yard.

The Sembcorp Marine-SP project will begin in early 2018, and is slated for completion in the fourth quarter of the year.

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.
