Sembcorp completes 2.8MWp rooftop solar farm on Supply Chain City

About 8,000 panels are expected to generate over 3,400MW hours of power annually.

Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp) has completed the 2.8MWp solar farm that it has built atop Supply Chain City, the 2 million sqft flagship facility of YCH Group in Singapore. About 8,000 solar panels will provide renewable energy for the building and its tenants under a long-term contract, with surplus power channelled to the grid.

According to an announcement, the panels are expected to generate over 3,400MWh of power annually, which is enough to power more than 770 four-room HDB flats for a year. The farm is also expected to reduce 1.5 million kg of CO2e emissions a year.

YCH and Sembcorp will look to power other YCH’s facilities with solar energy, in countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

Installed on the farm is Sembcorp’s monitoring system that has virtual safety cameras, live television feeds, and digital dashboards and alerts. It tracks factors such as weather conditions that affect the performance of solar panels, as well as onsite safety.

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.
