Singapore Airlines (SIA) and SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC) has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Sembcorp Solar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp), to install and operate rooftop solar panels on their premises, according to a press release.

Under the agreement, over 20,000 solar panels will be installed with a total capacity of 8.2 megawatt-peak (MWp).

The solar panels will power onsite operations at various facilities of SIA and SIAEC, where surplus power generated will be channelled to Singapore and Changi Airport’s electrical grids.
