Reportedly it covers an area equal to 45 football fields or 45 hectares (111.2 acres).
It has 122,000 solar panels spread across the water. The purpose of this solar power plant is to power Singapore’s 5 water treatment plants.
The plant is named Sembcorp Tengeh Floating Solar Farm and is on the Tengeh Reservoir.
The project, built by Sembcorp Floating Solar Singapore, a subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries. it offers 60 megawatts (MW) of power capacity.
