It uses lithium iron phosphate batteries with high energy density, fast response time and high round-trip efficiency to maximise energy storage, making them suitable for maintaining grid stability.
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).
Singapore will achieve its target of having “giant batteries” to store at least 200MW of energy three years early. The 200MW system is currently being installed across two sites on Jurong Island – Banyan and Sakra. Read more about it here.
What is a battery energy storage system?
Battery energy storage systems (ESS) provide critical frequency and stability support to power grids. As one of Asia's largest battery operators, our energy storage portfolio is well-positioned to support the evolving needs of power markets as they increase their uptake of renewable energy.
The Republic will achieve its target of having “giant batteries” to store at least 200MW of energy three years early, when Southeast Asia's largest energy storage system on Jurong Island is up and running by November.
This would help support power grid stability and resilience, and facilitate the adoption of more renewable energy such as solar. EMA's Chief Executive, Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, said: “Energy storage and smart energy management systems support the deployment of more renewable energy in Singapore.
Why should you choose Sembcorp energy storage?
As one of Asia's largest battery operators, our energy storage portfolio is well-positioned to support the evolving needs of power markets as they increase their uptake of renewable energy. The Sembcorp Energy Storage System is Southeast Asia's largest utility-scale ESS of 326MWh.
