SINGAPORE (Xinhua): Singapore's Second Minister for Trade and Industry Tan See Leng said on Wednesday that SembCorp is installing a 200-megawatt (MW) Energy Storage System (ESS) on Singapore's Jurong Island, which will be operational by November.

"This is the largest ESS deployment in South-East Asia," Tan told the second Singapore-IRENA High-Level Forum at the Singapore International Energy Week. "This project will support our efforts to enhance grid reliability and also maximise solar deployment in Singapore."
