The largest photovoltaic power plant in Singapore
The largest photovoltaic power plant in Singapore, the world’s largest drinking water reservoir floating photovoltaic power generation project built by Energy China’s Shanxi Research Institute, was successfully connected to the grid for power generation in Singapore’s Tengge Reservoir, providing sustainable development applications for global drinking water resources New demonstration.15:00, June 16, local time this project finished.
Project information
The project is located in the Tengeh Reservoir in the west of Singapore, and the contracting party is the Singapore Public Affairs Bureau. The total water area of the project is 39 hectares, the total installed capacity is 60 MW, and a total of 122,556 photovoltaic panels have been installed.
After the project is completed, the clean energy generated will be sufficient to power many water treatment plants of the Public Utilities Board of Singapore and meet 7% of the annual energy demand of the Public Utilities Board. It also makes Singapore the country with the largest scale of freshwater reservoir photovoltaic power generation projects. At the same time, it will actively contribute to Singapore's goal of reaching 1.5 GW of photovoltaic projects by 2025.

Solar power station built on drinking water storage
Since the project is constructed in one of Singapore's five major drinking water sources, from the beginning of the bidding, the water source and the ecological protection of the water source have run through the entire implementation process of the project.
Based on data and reports, Shanxi Institute has successfully answered the concerns of the Singapore government on ecological and environmental protection issues from multiple perspectives such as construction equipment, material selection, on-site water quality data collection and monitoring, to biodiversity observation, and construction plan optimization. A new way to coordinate the construction of the water source and ecological protection has been taken.
01High-level "Going Out"
As the first large-scale photovoltaic power station in Singapore, the overall promotion of the project is a brand new challenge for the business and technical teams of Shanxi Institute.
Singapore project business team
The business team completed legal research, tax planning, license application, company registration, etc. from March to May 2020. At the same time, in order to adapt to the implementation difficulties of the Singapore project and help the project department better understand the contract, the business team designed management tools such as cost dynamic implementation monitoring tables.
02Promote project construction with high standards
The main construction work surface of the project is the onshore booster station and the water photovoltaic area (70%). All construction links are closely linked, important step by step, and complementary. The control of the operation schedule, quality and process is the top priority .
The project department prepares different versions of the three-level construction network plan, presenting the delivery schedule, government drawing approval schedule, and different construction plans in detail to ensure the efficient progress of construction operations and effectively reduce construction safety and quality risks.
The installation of floating body components for water photovoltaic projects is carried out by means of shore assembly + water assembly. The installation work must be carried out after all the materials have arrived at the site in a complete set.
The successful grid connection of the Tengge Reservoir 60MW floating photovoltaic power station project has attracted great attention from the local governments and media of Singapore and neighboring Southeast Asian countries.
For Southeast Asian countries with abundant water resources, the completion of this project provides a construction template. At the same time, the high standard performance of the project once again demonstrates the overall strength of Shanxi Institute in design, procurement, business, and project execution. Energy China has provided strong support for its deep cultivation in the high-end market in Southeast Asia.
