Sunseap clinches tender for Singapore’s largest solar deal ever

It will cover 831 HDB blocks and eight other sites.

Sunseap Leasing has been awarded the first tender under Singapore’s solar lead demand programme SolarNova, according to a joint release by the Housing and Development Board and the Economic Development Board (EDB).

The tender comprises 76 megawatts-peak (MWp) of solar power, and will cover 831 HDB blocks, as well as eight sites of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the Public Utilities Board (PUB).
