Sembcorp taps into Singapore's solar power market

It acquired 49% of Changi Mega Solar.

Sembcorp will soon be walking on sunshine as it acquired stakes in Changi Mega Solar.

Through wholly-owned subsidiary Sembcorp Utilities, Sembcorp has acquired 49% of the solar energy firm for $2.6m.

The acquired firm is developing a 3.6 megawatt grid-tied solar photovoltaic system on the rooftop of SATS Airfreight Terminals 5 and 6 near Singapore Changi Airport. This system will provide renewable power directly to SATS Airfreight Terminals 5 and 6.

The project is Sembcorp's first solar energy project in Singapore, where it has gas-fired, biomass and energy-from-waste projects.

"Worldwide, the company has a power portfolio of over 10,000 megawatts, comprising both thermal and renewable assets. Sembcorp is growing its renewable power business globally and its green energy portfolio includes wind, solar and biomass energy as well as energy-from-waste facilities, spanning Singapore, China, India and the UK," the group said.

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.
