Singapore starts up 2 converted gas-fired power plants

Senoko Energy started up two natural gas-fired power plants with 862 megawatt capacity in Singapore.

The company spent S$1 billion or US$808 million converting three oil-fired plants with 750 megawatts of output to the gas systems.

The combined-cycle turbines will also cut 1 million tons of carbon emissions annually.

Senoko will use liquefied natural gas from Singapore’s Jurong Island receiving terminal for power generation when the facility starts operations in the second quarter this year.

“We anticipate that LNG will eventually form about 20% of our power generation,” said Eveline How, a spokeswoman for Senoko.

Singapore currently uses piped natural gas from Malaysia and Indonesia to generate 80 percent of its power, with fuel oil, solid waste and solar energy providing the remaining 20 percent, according to the country’s energy regulator, the Energy Market Authority.
