PacificLight Power Pte. Ltd. has awarded an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract to a consortium comprising Mitsubishi Power and Jurong Engineering Limited for the development of Singapore's largest and most efficient combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) facility. The 670MW power plant, expected to be operational in 2029, will be hydrogen-ready and designed to support Singapore's decarbonization targets.

Project Specifications and Capabilities

The new facility will be located on Jurong Island, Singapore, and will have the capacity to power more than 965,000 four-room flats. The power plant will be the first CCGT unit in Singapore integrated with a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS), enabling dynamic energy management to align electricity supply with grid demand. The facility will deploy Mitsubishi Power's state-of-the-art M701JAC gas turbine with hydrogen co-firing potential.

This gas turbine is recognized as the world's most efficient large-frame gas turbine model, with more than 64% combined cycle efficiency and proven reliability through three million operational hours. The plant will be able to operate on 30% hydrogen and can shift to running entirely on hydrogen in the future.

Company Leadership Statements

Yu Tat Ming, CEO of PacificLight Power, described the project as “a significant leap forward in PacificLight's decarbonization journey and our commitment to powering Singapore with cleaner, more resilient energy.” He emphasized that by investing in large-scale energy storage and hydrogen-ready technology, the company is future-proofing its infrastructure to meet future energy demands.

Daichi Nakajima, Executive Vice President of Mitsubishi Power, stated that the company is “honored to partner JEL to build PLP's monumental project that would support Singapore's growing electricity needs and broader energy transition goals.” He highlighted that their hydrogen-ready gas turbines, along with the innovative integration of BESS, contribute to future-proof infrastructure crucial to Singapore's decarbonization goals.

Koichi Watanabe, CEO and MD of Jurong Engineering Limited, noted that “the development of the CCGT plant marks an important step in advancing the nation's cleaner energy goals.” He emphasized the strong synergy and shared commitment of the collaboration to deliver the large-scale facility to the highest standards while enhancing the resilience and flexibility of Singapore's power systems.

Existing Infrastructure and Track Record

PacificLight Power currently owns and operates an 830MW CCGT facility and a 100MW Fast Start Ancillary Services facility on Jurong Island. The 830MW CCGT facility is one of the most efficient and reliable combined cycle power plants currently operating in Singapore. Mitsubishi Power has maintained a longstanding presence in Singapore, supporting the nation's energy infrastructure by providing advanced power generation systems for CCGT power plants since the early 2000s.

Together with Jurong Engineering Limited, the consortium will have delivered two M701F gas turbines and a total of three M701JAC gas turbines, including those supplied for this latest project. This strong track record and proven collaboration in Singapore have been key contributors to securing the current contract.

Environmental and Strategic Significance

The PLP CCGT project represents a key step in advancing Singapore's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The project reflects a combined commitment by PacificLight Power, Mitsubishi Power, and Jurong Engineering Limited to accelerate Singapore's transition toward net-zero emissions. The contract signing ceremony took place on October 23, 2025, with key executives from all three companies in attendance.

The ceremony was attended by Daichi Nakajima, Executive Vice President of Mitsubishi Power; Yu Tat Ming, CEO of PacificLight Power; and Koichi Watanabe, CEO and MD of Jurong Engineering Limited. The new power plant will serve as Singapore's largest CCGT facility and will incorporate cutting-edge technology designed to support the nation's broader energy transition goals.

The integration of hydrogen-ready technology positions the facility to adapt to future fuel transitions as Singapore works toward its net-zero carbon emissions target in the power sector.
