Sustainable Energy Sources in Singapore

EN6EN19

Our stakeholders understand that reducing energy consumption while growing business simultaneously can be a challenge. To mitigate this, we constantly explore opportunities to utilise alternate forms of energy for our operations.

Since 2009, we have been exploring opportunities to use sustainable energy sources for our operations in Singapore in an effort to reduce our reliance on electricity from the grid.

             

2009 @ Pasir Ris Telephone Exchange

  • Grid-tied Solar Photovoltaic System consisting 192 photovoltaic panels
  • Energy savings of 1,008 GJ (equivalent to 141 tCO2e*) to date
  

2011 @ Bukit Timah Hill Radio Station

  • 100 solar panels
  • 3 wind turbines
  • Energy savings of 173 GJ (equivalent to 24 tCO2e) to date
  

July 2014 @ Pulau Ubin Microwave Station

  • Solar photovoltaic plant and use of biodiesel as part of the Energy Market Authority’s test-bed microgrid installation at Pulau Ubin island
  • Estimated energy savings of 75 GJ (equivalent to 9 tCO2e) per year
  

November 2014 @ Seletar Satellite Earth Station

  • Solar photovoltaic plant installed with a solar tracker to harness as much available solar energy as possible during the day
  • Estimated energy savings of 192 GJ (equivalent to 24 tCO2e) per year
