Advario Asia Pacific and VFT
Advario Asia Pacific, JTC and local start-up VFT signed an MOU to collaborate on scaling up of vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) capacity for clean energy storage on Jurong Island. Under the MOU, VFT will use Advario’s existing storage tank infrastructure to scale its VRFB technology to a capacity of up to 40MWh, about 25 times its current capacity. This is equivalent to powering over 3,000 4-room HDB flats daily.
The collaboration was a result of JTC and the Energy Market Authority’s Jurong Island Renewable Energy Request-For-Proposal (JI RFP) innovation call, launched in October 2021.
Terrenus Energy and Sembcorp Solar Singapore
JTC’s journey to optimise land for solar deployment started in 2018 when it first awarded the contract for Phase 1 of its SolarLand programme to Terrenus Energy and S.M.E Electrical to set up the first grid-connected solar farm on Jurong Island.
Since then, more solar panels have been deployed with the award to solarise 60ha of interim vacant land to Sembcorp Solar Singapore. This is the largest land-based solar deployment on Jurong Island, increasing the total solar generation capacity on Jurong Island from 25.2MWp to 142.2MWp, equivalent to powering over 33,400 4-room HDB flats annually and reducing over 63,220 tonnes of carbon emission per year.
Sembcorp Industries and Energy Market Authority
The Sembcorp Energy Storage System (ESS), launched by Sembcorp Industries and the Energy Market Authority (EMA), is Singapore’s largest utility-scale energy storage facility. Spanning two hectares on Jurong Island's Banyan and Sakra region, the utility-scale system was commissioned in six months and has been operational since December 2022. It has a storage capacity of 326-megawatt hour (MWh), sufficient to power around 27,300 4-room HDB households for one day in a single discharge.

Sembcorp Power Plant
Sembcorp's 600MW hydrogen-ready combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant on Jurong Island has commenced commercial operations, strengthening Singapore's energy security and supporting its growing digital economy.
Designed to co-combust hydrogen alongside natural gas, the plant offers a practical pathway to lower-carbon power generation as fuel supply chains mature. It adds to Sembcorp's 5.7GW gas-fired and renewables portfolio in Singapore, with assets built to meet rising demand from data centres, semiconductors, and AI infrastructure.
Keppel Sakra Cogen Plant
Keppel Ltd. has commenced commercial operations at Keppel Sakra Cogen (KSC), Singapore's first hydrogen-compatible combined cycle power plant. The 600MW facility increases Keppel's total power capacity by about 45% and is fully contracted for 2026 and 2027, bolstering the company's recurring income.
Capable of co-combusting up to 30% hydrogen alongside natural gas, KSC is one of Singapore's most energy-efficient power plants. The plant can reduce carbon emissions by up to 220,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, equivalent to taking about 47,000 cars off the road each year and can be modified to run entirely on low-carbon hydrogen as supply chains mature.
PacificLight
PacificLight broke ground on a S$1.2 billion hydrogen-ready power plant on Jurong Island that will be the first in Singapore to pair a gas turbine with large-scale battery storage. The 670MW facility will be the country’s largest and most efficient single generating unit when it starts up in 2029.
The plant’s integrated battery energy storage system will enable dynamic energy management and increase grid resiliency by helping to align electricity supply with demand. The plant will be capable of co-firing with hydrogen up to 30% by volume from the outset, with the aim of transitioning to 100% hydrogen in the future.

Keppel Ltd and Sumitomo Corporation
EMA and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) have appointed the consortium led by Keppel Ltd to conduct the next phase of the project to provide a low- or zero-carbon ammonia solution on Jurong Island for power generation and bunkering.
Keppel Ltd and partners will conduct a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study to advance the power generation proposal. Sumitomo Corporation, Keppel Ltd’s bunkering partner, will also conduct a FEED study to advance the bunkering proposal.
PacificLight Power, Meranti Power, Keppel, Sembcorp, YTL PowerSeraya
Since 2024, all new and repowered natural gas power plants are required to be at least 30% hydrogen-compatible by volume. This means that the plants can burn at least 30% hydrogen, a cleaner fuel, with natural gas making up the rest, to generate electricity.
By 2030, Jurong Island will be home to two 50MW plants (Fast Start) by PacificLight Power (2025), two 340MW plants (OCGT) by Meranti Power (2025), a 600MW plant (CCGT) by Keppel Sakra Cogen (2026), a 600MW plant (CCGT) by Sembcorp Cogen (2026), a 600MW plant (CCGT) by YTL PowerSeraya (2027), and a 670MW plant (CCGT) by PacificLight Power (2029).
