Tuas Power has announced its ambitious plan to convert the Tembusu Multi-Utilities Complex (TMUC) to run entirely on renewable biomass by 2028. This initiative is a key part of the company’s decarbonisation strategy and aligns with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 and Energy Transition Strategy, supporting the nation’s goal to reach Net-Zero by 2050.
Located on Jurong Island, TMUC is currently Singapore’s largest steam generation plant. The conversion will make it the largest green steam and power cogeneration facility in the country, significantly advancing Singapore’s energy transition. The project is expected to reduce Tuas Power’s emissions by approximately 1 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent, contributing to the national target of reducing peak emissions from 64.43 million tonnes to 60 million tonnes by 2030.
Michael Wong, Chief Operating Officer of Tuas Power, stated, “Singapore’s energy transition is not just an urgent climate imperative but also a strategic move to position the country at the forefront of the global green economy.”
The transition is supported by long-term utilities customers and new partners, including YCH Group, StarHub, and ABB Singapore, who have committed to green power purchases. Tuas Power, which generates over 10,000 gigawatt-hours annually, aims to balance energy security, sustainability, and affordability through this project.
The TMUC conversion is part of Tuas Power’s broader decarbonisation roadmap, which includes exploring electricity imports and renewables projects to further advance Singapore’s energy transition.
