Sembcorp to provide solar power to UBS for ten years

UBS expects to run its entire operations on renewables by 2020.

Sembcorp Industries will be providing locally-sourced solar power to UBS offices over the next ten years, according to a press release. This will be Sembcorp’s first renewable energy partner in the financial services industry.

This will be made through the sale of renewable energy attributes from surplus power generated by more than 15,000 offsite rooftop solar panels totaling 6.3 megawatt-peak (MWp) in capacity, that will be installed on top of a 40,000 square meter exhibition hall in Singapore by December 2019.

This partnership will run 25% of UBS’s annual consumption across all of its offices in Singapore, where the amount of renewable energy consumed will replace almost 20 million kg of carbon emissions in 10 years.

Its operations in Singapore is expected to fully run on renewable energy by 2020.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
