PacificLight Power to Build State-of-the-Art Hydrogen-Ready CCGT Plant in Singapore
Key Ideas
  • PacificLight Power has been granted the right to construct a hydrogen-ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) facility in Jurong Island, Singapore.
  • The new plant, scheduled to start operations in January 2029, will be the largest and most efficient CCGT in Singapore, contributing to energy security and the nation's low-carbon transition.
  • The facility will have the capability to use up to 30% hydrogen initially and can transition to 100% hydrogen in the future, demonstrating a commitment to decarbonization and innovative energy solutions.
  • The integration of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and potential for Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) technology highlight PacificLight Power's dedication to enhancing grid stability and reducing environmental impact.
PacificLight Power Pte Ltd (PLP) has been granted approval by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) to construct a hydrogen-ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) facility on Jurong Island in Singapore. This new facility, set to begin operations in 2029, will be a significant addition to PLP's existing power plants. With a capacity of at least 600MW, this state-of-the-art H-class CCGT plant will enhance Singapore's energy security and support the nation's transition towards a low-carbon future. The plant's design allows for the use of hydrogen, with plans to incorporate up to 30% hydrogen initially and the potential to transition to 100% hydrogen in the future. Furthermore, the integration of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will complement the plant's operations, emphasizing a focus on grid stability and sustainability. PLP's commitment to innovative solutions is further showcased by the consideration of Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) technology for potential future integration. The CEO of PacificLight Power, Mr. Yu Tat Ming, expressed gratitude for being chosen to lead these critical projects, highlighting the company's dedication to a low-carbon future through the adoption of cutting-edge technologies such as hydrogen and energy storage.
