S-E Asia's largest energy storage system set up on Jurong Island

To ensure a continuous supply of solar energy, even on cloudy and rainy days, a new, large-scale battery storage system has been built on Jurong Island.

Made up of more than 800 largescale battery units that can be individually moved and installed, the system stores excess solar energy generated in the day to be used at times of higher electricity demand.

The Sembcorp Energy Storage System spans 2ha of land in the Banyan and Sakra regions on Jurong Island, or the equivalent of four football fields, Sembcorp Industries said on Thursday.

Said by Sembcorp to be the largest in South-east Asia, it offers a solution to intermittent power generation, long a problem for countries as they shift towards renewable sources of energy.

The storage system helps to regulate electricity supply and demand more efficiently, enhancing the resilience of the electricity grid.
