This marks Sembcorp’s third floating solar project in Singapore, reinforcing its position as the nation’s leading floating solar energy player. In 2021, Sembcorp completed Singapore’s first large-scale inland floating solar farm at Tengeh Reservoir, a 60 MWp project that stood among the world’s largest single floating solar PV systems at that time.
Earlier this year, Sembcorp signed a 25-year renewable energy purchase agreement with Malkoha Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Meta Platforms to build, own and operate a 150 MWp floating solar farm on Kranji Reservoir. This project marks the largest floating solar project in Singapore.
Jen Tan, CEO of Sembcorp Solar Singapore, said, “floating solar projects, such as those at Pandan, Tengeh and Kranji Reservoirs are vital for Singapore’s land-scarce energy landscape. Being entrusted with the delivery of this critical infrastructure not only highlights our ability to adhere to applicable environmental standards and timely project completions, but also provides an opportunity for us to uplift the solar workforce through skills development. As a leading developer of inland floating solar farms in Singapore, Sembcorp continues to demonstrate its expertise and leadership in advancing differentiated renewable projects in Singapore and the region.”
Beyond Sembcorp’s role as a developer, it also supports public education of solar energy through active engagement. Sembcorp regularly hosts visits at its floating solar farm to raise awareness and inspire interest in Singapore’s clean energy transition.
Sembcorp now has over 1 GWp of solar capacity and over 300 MWh of energy storage in its Singapore portfolio, progressing the nation’s drive toward 2 GWp of renewable energy by 2030. Globally, Sembcorp’s renewable energy capacity stands at 18.9 GW.
