Floating Solar
Operating one of the world’s largest inland floating solar PV systems
The Sembcorp Tengeh Floating Solar Farm is Singapore’s first large-scale floating solar photovoltaic (PV) system. Contributing to Singapore’s goal of quadrupling solar energy deployment by 2025, our 60 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar farm was built with over 122,000 floating solar panels across 45 hectares and is one of the world’s largest inland floating solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.
Deploying highly efficient PV modules and optimised layout to maximise solar power generation, the renewable energy generated from the solar farm will power Singapore’s five local water treatment plants, making our nation one of the few countries in the world to have a 100% green waterworks system.
Officially launched on 14 July 2021, the power generated at the Sembcorp Tengeh Floating Solar Farm will offset about 7% of PUB’s annual energy needs and reduce PUB’s carbon footprint. This is equivalent to powering about 16,000 four room HDB flats and reducing carbon emissions by about 32 kilotonnes annually, the same as taking 7,000 cars off the roads.
Find out more about its construction journey as well as what are the key components of a solar farm.
