SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): 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.
