Southeast Asia’s largest single solar rooftop at a shipyard is to be installed on top of a steel structure fabrication workshop at Sembcorp Marine’s Tuas Boulevard yard in the west of Singapore.

Sembmarine has inked an agreement with utility SP Group over the 4.5MW project.

They will develop a digital energy system which will generate and manage solar power so as to reduce 30% of grid-supplied electricity consumed by the yard’s steel fabrication facility during times of peak load.
