Singapore Energy Award: Recognising Excellence in Singapore’s Solar Industry

The Singapore Energy Award (SEA), given to organisations and individuals who have made significant contributions to the country's energy sector, was conferred on Sembcorp Solar Singapore at SIEW 2022. Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong presented Sembcorp Solar Singapore Pte Ltd with the award in recognition of its impact and contributions to developing Singapore’s solar industry. Solar energy is one of Singapore's "4 Switches" vital to decarbonising the country.

Over the last six years, Sembcorp Solar has deployed a total capacity of more than 530 megawatt-peak (MWp) as of the third quarter of 2022. This has contributed to around 35% of Singapore's solar deployment target of 1.5 gigawatt-peak (GWp) of installed capacity by 2025.

Its flagship project, the Sembcorp Tengeh Floating Solar Farm launched in 2021, is one of the world’s largest inland floating solar photovoltaic systems. This project furthers Singapore’s aim of meeting its carbon emissions targets.

The company was also commended for demonstrating leadership in capability development for the solar industry. In addition to sending its staff through a mix of e-learning modules and training at Sembcorp Academy, Sembcorp Solar has been working with Singapore Polytechnic and the Institute of Technical Education to develop a certified curriculum focused on solar energy competency.
