Huawei International and Keppel Ltd.’s Infrastructure Division have signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on renewable energy solutions, concentrating on photovoltaic (PV) systems and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) technologies. This strategic partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of sustainable energy across Asia and other global markets, addressing the rising demand for electrification and reducing carbon emissions.
The collaboration will involve designing and developing innovative PV and BESS solutions for projects such as interconnected power grids in the ASEAN region, low-carbon data centres, and industrial parks. These solutions are expected to reduce carbon intensity, improve operational stability, and optimise lifecycle costs. The projects will be connected to Keppel’s Operations Nerve Centre in Singapore, which uses artificial intelligence and machine learning for real-time monitoring and performance optimisation.
In Singapore, Huawei and Keppel are working on a demand response programme using a BESS at Keppel Infrastructure @ Changi. This will enable further exploration of smart operations and maintenance solutions to enhance the reliability and efficiency of renewable energy assets.
Maxi Wang, CEO of Huawei International, stated, “Our collaboration with Keppel is a bold but committed step forward in addressing the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions.” Cindy Lim, CEO of Keppel’s Infrastructure Division, added, “Through this partnership, we will harness Huawei’s digital power technologies and Keppel’s deep expertise in energy infrastructure.”
This partnership supports Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 and aligns with global sustainability goals, aiming to transition businesses and communities towards a cleaner future. The developments are not expected to impact Keppel’s financial performance for the current year.
