Sembcorp to build 6.2MWp rooftop solar farm in Singapore

The panels are expected to power more than 1,500 four-room HDB flats for a year.

Sembcorp will install, own, and operate a rooftop solar farm with a total capacity of 6.2MWp. The panels will be built on top of two facilities owned by a global energy services player.

According to an announcement, the solar farm will help power the on-site operations of the customer at the two locations, with surplus power channelled to the grid. One of the two locations, located in the Tuas area, will also be the largest solar installation on a single rooftop in Singapore to date, with more than 12,700 solar panels amounting to over 4.7MWp.

The farm is expected to produce around 7,435MW-h of power annually, or enough to power more than 1,500 four-room HDB flats for a year. It could also help avoid over 3 million kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions a year.

According to Sembcorp Group president and CEO Neil McGregor, Sembcorp now has over 115MWp of solar power assets in operation and under development. “Sembcorp is actively supporting Singapore in its goal of achieving 350MWp of solar power capacity by 2020,” he said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
