- Solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity to feed train depots starting from 2016
- With 8 MWp-scale systems in Singapore, Phoenix Solar Pte Ltd consolidates its leadership in large-scale PV in the island state
Singapore, May 11th, 2015 / Phoenix Solar Pte Ltd, the Singapore based subsidiary of Phoenix Solar AG (ISIN DE000A0BVU93), an international photovoltaic system integrator listed on the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, has been awarded the construction of 1.96 MWp of rooftop PV systems at the Tuas and Gali Batu train depots in Singapore.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is responsible for planning and development of Singapore’s land transport infrastructure. Achieving cleaner and greener transport is one of its priorities, as well as reducing the environmental impact of its business activities. Generating clean electricity for train depot operations is a significant step in the right direction.
In August 2014, LTA called for a competitive tender to design, supply and install 1.96MWp of grid-tie PV capacity on two new train depots – Tuas and Gali Batu. The project was awarded to Phoenix Solar after evaluating tenderers according to their quality proposals as well as pricing.
