- Cleantech Solar signs PPA with YHS to develop an 800 kWp rooftop solar PV system.
- The project is expected to generate approximately 18.5 GWh of renewable energy.
Cleantech Solar, a renewable energy solutions provider, has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with food and beverage conglomerate YHS (Singapore) Pte. Ltd, a Yeo Hiap Seng Limited subsidiary, to develop an 800 kWp rooftop solar PV system at the latter’s manufacturing facility in Senoko.
The long-term partnership between Cleantech Solar and Yeo Hiap Seng is expected to generate approximately 18.5 GWh of renewable energy during the project’s lifetime, which amounts to a reduction of over 7.5 kilotonnes of CO2 emissions. Cleantech Solar will provide a complete turnkey solar solution, with the project being operated and maintained by Cleantech Solar throughout the term of the agreement.
Chief R&D Officer at YHS (Singapore) Pte Ltd, Colin Tan, said: “We are delighted to partner with Cleantech Solar in our renewable energy journey to help power our manufacturing operations. As a Singapore heritage brand with over 120 years of history, we strive to enhance the sustainability of our operations. We are committed to supporting Singapore’s ambition of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. We will explore other forms of renewables in the future to support our business goals.”
Founder and CEO of Cleantech Solar, Raju Shukla, added that the energy generated from the rooftop solar project would lead to markedly reduced carbon emissions and provide security of energy supply.
