Keppel Sakra Cogen Plant: Singapore's Groundbreaking Hydrogen-Compatible Power Project
Key Ideas
  • Keppel completes installation of a gas turbine at Singapore's first hydrogen-compatible cogeneration power plant, enhancing efficiency and reducing emissions.
  • The 600MW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant will be able to produce steam for industrial processes on Jurong Island.
  • Upon completion in 2026, the Keppel Sakra Cogen Plant will significantly reduce carbon emissions and expand Keppel's generation capacity by nearly 50%.
  • Keppel is also exploring low carbon solutions, including ammonia solutions for power generation and bunkering on Jurong Island.
Keppel has reached a significant milestone in the construction of the Keppel Sakra Cogen Plant, Singapore's pioneering hydrogen-compatible cogeneration power plant. The recent installation of a gas turbine is set to enhance the efficiency of the 600MW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant. This facility will not only generate electricity but also provide steam for industrial processes to serve energy and chemicals customers on Jurong Island. With the plant being 80% complete, it is scheduled to commence operations in the first half of 2026. Once operational, the Keppel Sakra Cogen Plant aims to operate at a level of efficiency that will lead to substantial carbon savings, abating over 6 million tonnes of emissions throughout its lifespan. The CEO of Keppel's Infrastructure Division, Cindy Lim, highlighted the pivotal role this plant will play in meeting Singapore's rising energy demand by expanding Keppel's generation capacity by almost 50%. Additionally, Keppel is actively exploring other low carbon solutions and is involved in the development of proposals for providing ammonia solutions for power generation and bunkering on Jurong Island, further contributing to sustainable energy practices in the region.
