Singapore has announced a major expansion of Jurong Island, its core energy and chemicals hub, to accelerate renewable energy deployment and support the growth of digital infrastructure. The plan, unveiled by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) 和 JTC Corporation, allocates 300 hectares for clean energy projects and an additional 20 hectares for the country’s largest data centre park [1][2].

The move marks a key step in Singapore’s long-term strategy to transform Jurong Island into a global testbed for low-carbon innovation. The new allocation, roughly 10% of the island’s total area, will host facilities for solar power, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), low- or zero-carbon ammonia, hydrogen-ready power plants和 battery storage systems [1][2].

Speaking at the Singapore International Energy Week, Tan See Leng, Minister-in-charge of energy, science, and technology, said the initiative positions Jurong as “a global test-bed for new energies and low-carbon technologies.” The project aims to enhance industrial resilience and attract investors and technology developers to Singapore’s growing green energy ecosystem [1][2].

Alongside renewable projects, the government will develop a 700-megawatt data centre park, designed to balance Singapore’s digital infrastructure needs with its carbon reduction goals. By colocating data centres near clean energy and energy storage facilities, authorities aim to improve efficiency and reduce emissions from power transmission [1].

Industrial interest in Jurong continues to rise. Sembcorp Industries recently piloted a “battery stacking” solution that vertically expands storage capacity from 285 to 326 megawatt-hours, optimizing land use in the city-state’s dense industrial environment [2].

For investors and corporate leaders, Jurong’s transformation reflects Singapore’s whole-of-economy approach to decarbonization, integrating renewable energy, advanced manufacturing, and digital infrastructure to sustain growth while advancing its net-zero by 2050 ambitions [1][2].
