the Economic Development Board in Singapore is to build Southeast Asia's first offshore microgrid system using solar, wind, and tidal energy sources as well as power-to-gas and diesel. Covering 64,000 sq metres, including 3,000 sq metres of photovoltaic panels, on Semakau Landfill, the microgrid will produce enough energy to power the equivalent of 250 4-room flats for a year. "Singapore has identified microgrids as a key growth area for the clean energy industry," said the executive director of Nanyang Technological University.
