Sunseap to supply Facebook's Singapore operations with solar energy

The energy will come from Sunseap’s offshore floating solar farms.

Sunseap Group has signed a multi-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) with Facebook for solar energy from one of the world’s largest offshore floating solar farms in the Straits of Johor.

The energy from the five MWp offshore floating photovoltaic system will be exported to the national grid. Under the VPPA, all renewable energy credits (RECs) from the project will be transferred to Facebook and will support the tech company's operations in Singapore, including Facebook's first custom-built data centre in Asia.

The solar farms in the Johor Straits have over 13,000 panels, 40 inverters, and more than 30,000 floats. It is expected to produce an estimated 6,022,500 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy per year, with a potential for offsetting 4,258 tons of carbon dioxide.

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.
