PacificLight Power has announced that it will start construction of a 600 MW hydrogen-compatible natural gas power plant on Jurong Island, Singapore. The plant is scheduled to start operations in 2029.
The facility will cost $1 billion, and PacificLight Power said that it will be the largest single and most efficient combined cycle gas turbine facility in the country. Once operational, the plant will use a blend of 30 per cent hydrogen, 70 per cent natural gas. It is expected that this will be modified to 100 per cent hydrogen as the technology is proven.
