PSA Singapore and Sembcorp Launch Short-Term
Comprising more than 30,000 pieces of solar panel modules, the facility offers a generation capacity of 18 megawatt-peak* (MWp). It is
Comprising solar panels, batteries, inverters, and monitoring systems, these containers offer a self-sustaining power solution. Solar Panels: The foundation of solar energy containers, these panels utilize photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity. Their size and number vary depending on energy requirements and sunlight availability.
Dr Lin said: “In Singapore, each square metre of solar panel can generate approximately 250 kWh (kilowatt-hours) of electricity annually. Given the expansive areas available in the ports, this presents a huge opportunity for renewable power generation for Singapore.”
Over at Singapore's ports, MPA is considering erecting solar canopies over the container storage yard and roads within Tuas Port, which is being built in phases and will be fully completed in the 2040s. At Jurong Port, which has been in operation since 1965, the idea is to install solar canopies over the steelyard and roads there.
It is designed to be modular and flexible, using mobile transformers and hybrid substations, which along with the solar panels can be easily redeployed to other sites. The solar farm can produce 22,500 megawatt hours of electricity annually, which can power over 5,000 four-room public housing flats in Singapore for a year.
