PacificLight Power to Construct Singapore's Largest Hydrogen-Ready CCGT Facility on Jurong Island
Key Ideas
  • PacificLight Power has secured the rights to build a 600MW hydrogen-ready CCGT facility on Jurong Island, set to be the largest of its kind in Singapore.
  • The new plant will incorporate a large-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and is designed to transition to 100% hydrogen usage, showcasing a long-term commitment to decarbonisation.
  • The facility aims to enhance system reliability, reduce operational costs, and minimize environmental impact, supporting Singapore's energy security and transitioning to a lower carbon footprint.
  • PacificLight Power's CEO emphasized the company's dedication to a low-carbon future by integrating hydrogen-ready and battery storage technologies in the new power plant, demonstrating a commitment to innovation and sustainability.
PacificLight Power has been granted the opportunity by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) to construct a 600MW hydrogen-ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant on Jurong Island in Singapore. Scheduled to commence operations in January 2029, this facility is poised to be the largest single H-class CCGT in the country. Strategically located on a greenfield site, the plant will not only house a CCGT unit but also have the potential to add a second unit and integrate carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology. The incorporation of a large-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) further underscores PacificLight Power's commitment to decarbonisation and implementing innovative solutions for improved system reliability while reducing costs and environmental impact. The plant is designed to initially operate on 30% hydrogen and can transition to 100% hydrogen in the future, contributing to Singapore's energy security, grid stability, and sustainable energy transition. The upcoming facility will complement PacificLight Power's existing 830MW CCGT plant and 100MW Fast Start capacity, showcasing the company's dedication to expanding its renewable energy portfolio. CEO Yu Tat Ming expressed gratitude for being selected to develop these critical projects and highlighted the company's commitment to a low-carbon future through the integration of hydrogen-ready and battery storage technologies. The initiative not only aims to support the country's energy goals but also signifies a step towards a greener and more sustainable energy landscape in Singapore.
