Case Studies in Resilience: How Renewables Helped Avoid Power Outages During Extreme Weather Events
Extreme weather — from hurricanes to blizzards — is becoming increasingly frequent and severe. It’s putting immense strain on power grids, leaving nations to look for a promising solution to enhance power grid reliability. That’s where renewable energy sources have come into play.
PacificLight Power to Build New Hydrogen-Ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Plant
PacificLight Power Pte Ltd has been awarded the right to build, own, and operate a hydrogen-ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) facility on Jurong Island by the Energy Market Authority (EMA). Scheduled to commence operations in January 2029, this will be the largest single, and most efficient, state-of-the-art H-class, CCGT in Singapore, with capacity of at least 600MW.
Insulation and Renewable Energy Projects That Reduced Energy Consumption
As climate change ramps up, the construction industry has been steadfast in decarbonizing its buildings and operations. The result has been more energy-efficient structures with fewer emissions for a cleaner and healthier environment. Although building technologies continue to evolve, several insulation and renewable projects have successfully reduced power consumption.
