Singapore to get its first solar-powered ferry terminal

Singapore has emerged as a leader in adapting sustainable energy solutions and the solarization of Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal affirms that. This ferry terminal will be Asia’s first solar powered ferry terminal. The system will provide the terminal with one-third of its daily energy needs and is expected to be operational by June 2017. Christina Siaw, CEO of SCC, said “The deal with Sunseap will allow us to tap solar power but still be assured of stability of energy supply to keep our terminal running smoothly. At the same time, we are reducing our carbon footprint and achieving savings on our electricity bills.” This step will offset at least 327 tonnes of CO2 annually.
