A first-of-its-kind floating power plant with batteries that can refuel liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels, charge electric harbour craft and even generate electricity for remote islands is set to start operations in the first quarter of 2024.
The Floating Living Lab, developed on a floating platform by offshore and marine company Seatrium at its Pioneer Yard, is Singapore's first energy storage system (ESS) on water, and could provide a future answer to a small island's needs for energy storage from renewable sources.
The project was awarded to a consortium led by Univers, formerly known as Envision Digital International.
It is part of a $10 million partnership between the Energy Market Authority (EMA) and Seatrium to develop innovative energy solutions in the marine sector, and was announced in April 2020.
