Jurong Port launches world’s largest port-based solar energy facility

It has an annual generation capability of 12 million kWh.

A 9.5 MegaWatt-peak (MWp) solar energy generation facility has been successfully installed at Jurong Port.

This is the world’s largest port-based solar energy generation facility and will offset over 60% of Jurong Port’s electricity requirement.

With the facility, Jurong Port will be able to reduce 5,200 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent o the yearly consumption of 2,500 units 4-room apartment flats.

The facility has an estimated annual generation capability of more than 12 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of solar energy. Excess energy generated will be exported and contribute to the steady supply of renewable energy to the national grid.

The project was undertaken in collaboration with Sunseap Leasing.
