Solar and wind renewable energy system at Bukit Timah Hill Radio Station
Renewable energy initiatives
In April 2011, we commissioned a renewable energy system at the Bukit
Timah Hill Radio Station. It harnesses energy from the sun and wind to
supplement energy from the national power grid. The system comprises
100 pieces of solar panels with a total capacity of 24 kW and three wind
turbines each rated at 1 kW. The energy harnessed by the system is able
to power 177 laptops for ten hours each working day.
In addition, we continued to use a Grid-Tied Solar Photovoltaic System
(40 kW peak capacity) at our Pasir Ris Telephone Exchange which
yielded a total of
45,593 kWh last year. This translates into a
reduction of our carbon footprint by 23 tCO2e emissions. |
