Singapore covered a reservoir with 122,000 floating solar panels; it now powers 5 water-treatment plants and cuts 32,000 tonnes of CO₂ every year
- Singapore has turned part of a reservoir into a giant renewable-energy installation, covering about one-third of Tengeh Reservoir with more than 122,000 floating solar panels spread across 10 floating islands.
- The 45-hectare Sembcorp Tengeh Floating Solar Farm has a capacity of 60 MWp and generates electricity used to support five local water-treatment plants.
- The project is estimated to reduce carbon emissions by about 32,000 tonnes a year, while two-thirds of the reservoir remains open.
