A Boost for Clean Energy in Singapore with SolarLand Programme
Currently, existing substations in Singapore require several months to obtain the necessary authorities'' clearance, construct and commission. Tenderers are also encouraged to propose
The operator, Terrenus Energy, will be implementing a first-of-its-kind containerised solar PV system in Singapore. The system is a plug-and-play shipping container module that enhances the mobility of the system. The whole system can be installed, dismantled and moved to another location easily.
Singapore has achieved our 2025 target of deploying 1.5 gigawatt-peak of solar. We are also on track to meeting our target of at least 2 GWp by 2030, which is equivalent to the annual electricity needs of around 350,000 households. In the longer term, solar will allow us to meet about 10% of our projected electricity demand in 2050.
Each substation will have an installed capacity not exceeding 1 MWac (Megawatt of AC Power). The initiative is part of the Singapore's plans to incorporate more renewable energy in its energy mix and will contribute towards EMA's target of installing at least 2 gigawatt-peak (GWp) of solar deployment by 2030 1 .
This is made possible using photovoltaic (PV) systems. Located near the equator, Singapore is one of the most solar-dense cities in the world. We enjoy relatively high solar irradiance of an average annual solar irradiance of 1,580 kWh/m2/year. Real-time information on solar energy generated can be seen under the Solar Irradiance Map.
