Expected ROI of home energy storage project in Singapore 2025

What is Singapore's biggest battery storage project?

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).

How much energy storage will Singapore have by 2025?

With just one project, EMA has achieved and exceeded Singapore’s deployment target of 200MWh of energy storage by 2025. The target was set as part of the EMA programme, Accelerating Energy Storage Access for Singapore (ACCESS), through which the EOI solicitation was held.

How will a 200MW energy storage system work on Jurong Island?

The 200MW system is currently being installed across two sites on Jurong Island – Banyan and Sakra – spanning 2ha of land in total, which is equivalent to the size of four football fields. Energy storage systems can also quickly manage mismatches in electricity supply and demand to help stabilise the power grid.

How much electricity does Singapore import?

Singapore is bringing in large-scale imports of 4 GW by 2035, ~30% of Singapore’s energy supply. In Mar and Sep this year respectively, EMA announced the granting of conditional approval to Keppel Energy for 1GW of electricity imports from Cambodia, and to five other projects to import a total of 2 GW of low carbon electricity from Indonesia.

What is a Bess EOI target for Singapore?

The target was set as part of the EMA programme, Accelerating Energy Storage Access for Singapore (ACCESS), through which the EOI solicitation was held. It is just the second grid-scale BESS project in the country following a 2.4MWh project by Wartsila, supplied and switched on in 2020.

Could Singapore sit at the 'core' of new energy grids in Southeast Asia?

Singapore could sit at the “core” of new regional electricity grids in Southeast Asia, with proposed interconnections to neighbouring countries set to bring 25GW of new renewable power and energy storage projects online. This is according to Rystad Energy, which published a report into Singapore’s role in the Southeast Asian energy mix this week.
