PacificLight Power has been granted approval by the Singapore government to construct a new hydrogen-fuelled gas power plant on Jurong Island as part of the country's efforts to decarbonize its power grid. The project is in line with Singapore's goal to transition to more sustainable energy sources, reducing reliance on natural gas for power generation. The new plant, set to be operational from January 2029, will be a hydrogen-ready combined cycle gas turbine facility capable of supplying a minimum of 600 MW of power. It will initially utilize 30% hydrogen and eventually transition to 100% hydrogen, alongside incorporating a large-scale Battery Energy Storage System. The facility's design allows for potential integration of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage technology in the future. The company also plans to develop a Fast Start power generating unit to provide 100MW of power by the second quarter of 2025 and is collaborating on a project to import 600MW of solar power from Indonesia. This initiative aligns with Singapore's strategy to increase the share of renewables in its energy mix and meet its climate goals, including achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The country is aiming to have nine hydrogen-compatible power plants by 2030, with hydrogen expected to play a significant role in fulfilling up to half of Singapore's energy needs by 2050. Other entities in the Singaporean energy sector are also advancing towards green energy solutions, with Keppel Infrastructure developing the first hydrogen-ready power plant expected to be operational by 2026. YTL PowerSeraya has secured the right to construct a hydrogen turbine to be completed by 2027. The Energy Market Authority (EMA) highlighted the importance of additional power generation capacity to meet the growing electricity demand and ensure the reliability of the power system. EMA's Centralised Process is facilitating private investments in new generation capacity to match forecasted demands. PacificLight Power was chosen from six proposals to build the hydrogen-ready CCGT generating unit, furthering Singapore's transition to a low-carbon energy future.
