PSA, another terminal operator in Singapore, also installed a 4 MW peak solar system in the Pasir Panjang Terminal in 2018 (Straits Times, 2018). However, solar energy is an intermittent energy source; that is, energy outputs from the sun are irregular and not continuously available to generate a power supply.
Hence, the adoption of solar energy at the cargo terminals of Jurong Port and PSA is beneficial for the port sector as well as the country's long-term interest. The other renewable energy sources are far less suitable and feasible in the context of Singapore.
The total capacity of Solar panels installed is 8270 watts per hour. Page 70 of 76 Airport Solar PV Implementation Guidance Document 70 Project Graphics
In the case of Singapore, solar power is the only suitable renewable energy option. Being a capital-intensive establishment with high intensities of cargo operations, seaports usually involve a high level of energy consumption. The study of renewable energy options contributes to seaport sustainability.
