Sembcorp industries tapped to build floating solar farm

It will be used to power PUB’s water treatment processes.

National water agency PUB has appointed Sembcorp Industries wholly-owned subsidiary, Sembcorp Solar Singapore, to construct a 60MWp floating solar photovoltaic (PV) system on Tengeh Reservoir, according to press releases.

PUB will use the energy produced to power its water treatment processes. The system will be designed to meet 7% of PUB’s total energy needs. It is also expected to reduce around 32 kilotonnes of carbon emissions.

Furthermore, it is set to be amongst the world’s largest single floating solar PV systems once it is completed in 2021. Sembcorp will also have a 240MWp of solar capacity in the country by then.

Last June 2019, PUB called for a request for proposal (RFP) for private sector companies to design, build, own and operate (DBOO) a large-scale floating PV system for 25 years on Tengeh Reservoir. The RFP attracted bids from four local and overseas companies.

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.
