KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 30 – YTL PowerSeraya Pte Ltd has won the first request for proposal (RFP) under the Singapore Energy Market Authority’s new Centralised Process Framework to develop a 600MW hydrogen-ready combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) at its Pulau Seraya Power Station (PSPS) site.
In a statement on Monday, YTL Power International, which wholly owns YTL PowerSeraya, said the framework strategically coordinates private sector investments to ensure sufficient generation capacity by 2028, safeguarding Singapore’s future energy needs.
The construction of the CCGT is estimated to cost S$800 million (S$1=RM3.53) and is targeted to be completed by Dec 31, 2027.
The project would complement and diversify Singapore’s power mix alongside solar, imported electricity and other potential low-carbon energy sources.
It further said the CCGT is also set to make a substantial impact to support the nation’s generation capacity to meet growing electricity demand.
YTL PowerSeraya’s CCGT would be at least 30 per cent volume hydrogen-ready, with the ability to be retrofitted to become operationally 100 per cent hydrogen-ready in the future, aiding in emissions reduction, as the combustion of hydrogen gas generates no greenhouse gases.
This underscores the organisation’s commitment to environmentally sustainable practices, said the statement.
This monumental undertaking by YTL PowerSeraya is pivotal in positioning Singapore to achieve her long-term net zero emissions aspiration by 2050, under the Singapore Green Plan, said YTL Power International.
