Singapore opens Southeast Asia''s largest energy storage system
It is designed to store surplus power that can be delivered to the grid to mitigate solar intermittency caused by changing weather conditions in Singapore''s tropical climate.
Singapore deployed its first utility-scale energy storage system in October 2020, with a capacity that can power more than 200 four-room HDB units for a day. Last week, the largest energy storage system in Southeast Asia was opened on Jurong Island.
Singapore's First Utility-scale Energy Storage System Through a partnership between EMA and SP Group, Singapore deployed its first utility-scale ESS at a substation in Oct 2020. It has a capacity of 2.4 megawatts (MW)/2.4 megawatt-hour (MWh), which is equivalent to powering more than 200 four-room HDB households a day.
Energy storage systems are essentially giant batteries packed in containers that store electricity for later use. SINGAPORE – As Singapore seeks to harness as much sunshine as it can to maximise its limited renewable energy sources, it needs to improve technologies that can store excess solar energy from the day.
Singapore has surpassed its 2025 energy storage deployment target three years early, with the official opening of the biggest battery storage project in Southeast Asia. The opening was hosted by the 200MW/285MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project's developer Sembcorp, together with Singapore's Energy Market Authority (EMA).
