Singapore plans 130MWp floating solar farm by 2029

Singapore's national water agency PUB aims to build a 130MW-peak (MWp) reservoir solar farm by 2029 to offset its carbon footprint, according to project documents published by the agency on 23 December.

When built, the facility will help Singapore close in on its solar capacity target of 2GWp by 2030. The country is just about 200MW short of its target. Construction of the project is scheduled to start in 2026, pending feedback on an environmental impact assessment and final government approval.

The latest capacity figure for the project is higher than the PUB's earlier estimate of 100MWp possible for the site, which is a flood control and rainwater collection reservoir.

Australian engineering firm Aurecon is providing consultancy services, while a solar developer has not been specified. The PUB also did not disclose commercial details for the project.

Singapore currently has one completed and two other ongoing reservoir solar projects, all of which are headed by Singaporean utility Sembcorp. Sembcorp has a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with PUB for the operational 60MWp facility, and another 25-year PPA with a subsidiary of US tech firm Meta for one of the projects under development, which has a capacity of 150MWp.
