Pulau Ubin could be model "green" island powered by clean energy
Channel NewsAsia - Saturday, November 8
SINGAPORE : Pulau Ubin could become a model island powered entirely by clean and renewable energy.
The Energy Market Authority (EMA) has called a tender for a consultancy study to develop and implement clean and renewable energy solutions for homes and businesses on the island.
It said this could lead to the development of small—scale power supply networks running on solar, wind or biomass sources to supply electricity.
Pulau Ubin currently does not receive electricity from the main power grid as it is not economical to lay transmission cables to meet the island’s small power demands.
Residents depend on diesel generators for power.
EMA hopes the project will enable it to test clean and renewable energy technologies in an actual environment.
It plans to award the consultancy tender this month and expects the study to be completed by May 2009. — CNA /ls
