YTL PowerSeraya to Construct Hydrogen-Ready CCGT in Singapore by 2027
Key Ideas
  • YTL PowerSeraya will build and operate a 600MW hydrogen-ready CCGT at Pulau Seraya Power Station in Jurong, Singapore by December 31, 2027.
  • The project costing $800 million will support the nation's energy capacity and contribute to its goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050.
  • Initially running on 30% hydrogen, future plans include retrofitting to run on 100% hydrogen, aligning with Singapore's push towards clean energy models.
  • The construction of the hydrogen-ready CCGT is part of Singapore's strategy to diversify energy sources and meet the increasing electricity demand while maintaining environmental goals.
YTL PowerSeraya, a subsidiary of YTL Power International, has been granted approval by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) to construct a 600MW hydrogen-ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) at Pulau Seraya Power Station in Jurong, Singapore. The project, expected to be operational by the end of 2027 with a cost of $800 million, aims to contribute to Singapore's energy landscape and support its goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Initially, the CCGT will operate on a combination of 30% hydrogen and 70% fossil fuel, with plans for future conversion to run fully on hydrogen. The move towards hydrogen aligns with Singapore's shift towards cleaner energy sources and commitment to environmental sustainability. The hydrogen-ready CCGT will significantly boost the nation's energy capacity and play a crucial role in meeting the rising electricity demand due to digitalization. The project reflects YTL PowerSeraya's dedication to shaping Singapore's energy future and contributing to the country's long-term environmental objectives. Overall, the construction of the hydrogen-ready CCGT represents a positive step towards a more sustainable energy sector in Singapore.
