Singapore to Build Hydrogen-Ready Generating Unit for Low-Carbon Energy Future
Key Ideas
  • Singapore to construct a new hydrogen-ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine generating unit by 2029.
  • The facility, developed by PacificLight Power, will have a capacity of at least 600 megawatts.
  • It will be located on Jurong Island and aims to operate with 30% hydrogen initially, progressing to 100% hydrogen.
  • This initiative aligns with Singapore's transition towards a low-carbon energy future to meet rising energy demands.
Singapore is set to construct a new hydrogen-ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine generating unit by 2029 to address the increasing energy demand in the city-state. The Energy Market Authority (EMA) announced this project as part of Singapore's transition towards a low-carbon energy future. The new generating unit, with a capacity of at least 600 megawatts, will be developed by PacificLight Power, a Singapore-based electricity retailer. Planned for Jurong Island, the facility will initially operate with a minimum of 30% hydrogen and has future plans to shift to burning 100% hydrogen. The EMA highlighted the growing energy needs in sectors like advanced manufacturing, the digital economy, and transportation electrification, projecting a compound annual growth rate of 3.7% to 5.7% in power system peak demand up to 2030. Following a request for proposals in June 2024, PacificLight Power was selected to develop this hydrogen-ready generating unit, emphasizing Singapore's commitment to sustainable development and meeting the rising power demand.
