SINGAPORE – As Singapore seeks to harness as much sunshine as it can to maximise its limited renewable energy sources, it needs to improve technologies that can store excess solar energy from the day. One such technology is energy storage systems (ESS), which are essentially giant batteries packed in containers that store electricity for later use.
Singapore's First Utility-scale Energy Storage System Through a partnership between EMA and SP Group, Singapore deployed its first utility-scale ESS at a substation in Oct 2020. It has a capacity of 2.4 megawatts (MW)/2.4 megawatt-hour (MWh), which is equivalent to powering more than 200 four-room HDB households a day.
Built across two sites on Jurong Island, our ESS enhances Singapore's grid resilience by mitigating the impact of solar intermittency as the republic progresses towards achieving its 2030 solar target of at least 2GWp and energy storage systems deployment of 200MWh beyond 2025.
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.
Pumped Hydro Energy Storage, which pumps large amount of water to a higher- level reservoir, storing as potential energy, is more suitable for applications where energy is required for sustained periods.
