Singapore has surpassed its 2025 energy storage deployment target three years early, with the official opening of the biggest battery storage project in Southeast Asia. The opening was hosted by the 200MW/285MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project’s developer Sembcorp, together with Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA).
The giant lithium iron phosphate batteries located in container-like structures are located on two sites spanning two hectares of land on Jurong Island, a man-made island that houses Singapore's petrochemical complex. The new energy storage facility allows Singapore to achieve its 200 MWh energy storage target.
Singapore’s government and Energy Market Authority (EMA) have announced power sector and grid enhancements, including a possible expansion of Southeast Asia’s biggest battery storage plant.
