EMA | Energy Storage Systems
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
EMA's director of industry development Jeanette Lim said that the energy storage system had to be completed by December last year in order to provide energy, reserves and regulation services to enhance Singapore's grid resilience, to manage any protracted market and energy supply volatility.
However, the minister said there is a need to “step up energy storage systems to manage solar intermittency.” Talks are currently ongoing with Sembcorp, the engineering conglomerate behind the 200MW/285MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) installation on Singapore's Jurong Island.
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.
Energy Market Authority (EMA) chief executive Ngiam Shih Chun said that the large-scale energy storage system will complement Singapore's efforts to maximise solar adoption, by storing and delivering energy despite the intermittent nature of solar power.
