Jurong Island energy storage system not part of core power reserves: Tan See Leng
EMA is evaluating how Singapore’s power system can incorporate such energy storage in future planning
The 200-megawatt Sembcorp battery energy storage system on Jurong Island does not contribute to Singapore's required generation reserves, according to Minister Tan See Leng. This is due to the limited duration in which the system can discharge its maximum output of 200 MW - approximately an hour. The system's primary function is to provide rapid-response backup to maintain grid stability, not to offset prolonged power generation outages.
