PacificLight Power Awarded Right to Develop Largest Hydrogen-Ready CCGT Facility in Singapore
Key Ideas
  • PacificLight Power has been granted the right to build a hydrogen-ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) facility in Singapore by 2029, with a capacity of at least 600MW.
  • The new plant, integrated with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), will enhance grid stability and help in Singapore's transition towards a low-carbon future.
  • PacificLight's commitment to cutting-edge solutions is evident as the plant will be able to use up to 30% hydrogen initially and has the capability to transition to 100% hydrogen in the future.
  • The project also highlights the company's focus on long-term decarbonisation strategies, with potential for Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) technology integration in the future.
PacificLight Power Pte Ltd (PLP) has been awarded the right by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) to develop a hydrogen-ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) facility in Singapore, set to be operational by January 2029 on Jurong Island. With a capacity of at least 600MW, this state-of-the-art CCGT plant will contribute significantly to enhancing Singapore's energy security, grid stability, and journey towards a low-carbon future. The new facility, which can initially use 30% hydrogen and transition to 100% hydrogen later, will also feature a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for added system stability and cost reduction. Additionally, the greenfield site allows for potential future integration of Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) technology, showcasing PLP's commitment to sustainability and decarbonisation. PacificLight Power's CEO, Mr. Yu Tat Ming, expressed gratitude for being entrusted with these critical projects and emphasized the company's dedication to a low-carbon future through innovative technologies. PacificLight, a key player in Singapore's power generation sector, is known for its efficient and reliable power plants, and the upcoming CCGT facility will further solidify its position in the industry.
