| Work Detail |
TotalEnergies ENEOS has completed its first ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) project in Singapore in partnership with Tanah Merah Country Club (TMCC), one of the most prestigious golf clubs in Asia. This project makes TMCC the first country club in Singapore to be primarily powered by an onsite ground-mounted solar PV system, marking a significant step toward sustainability in the golf industry. The newly installed 2.2 MWp ground-mounted solar PV system consists of more than 3,700 solar panels and is expected to generate over 3,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually. This amount of clean energy is sufficient to power approximately 700 four-room HDB flats for a year. The system will help TMCC achieve significant cost savings while reducing its carbon footprint by approximately 1,300 tons of CO2 emissions annually, which is equivalent to planting around 20,000 trees. Under a long-term power purchase agreement, TotalEnergies ENEOS has fully funded, installed, and will operate the solar PV system. TMCC will benefit from this tailor-made solar solution by paying only for the electricity generated over the next 11 years, without any upfront costs. This partnership reflects TotalEnergies ENEOS’ commitment to supporting TMCC in its transition toward sustainable energy and setting an example for other golf clubs in the region. The construction of the solar PV system was completed in just five months, with 28,600 man-hours of work executed safely and without any lost time injuries. The project was also completed two months ahead of schedule, demonstrating efficiency and strong project management. Ronald Ong, Club President of TMCC, highlighted the importance of the project in the club’s commitment to sustainability. He stated that the installation at the Garden Clubhouse is a major step toward combating climate change and supporting Singapore’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. He emphasized that this initiative is part of the club’s broader ESG strategy, which aims to integrate sustainable practices into its operations. Ong also praised TotalEnergies ENEOS for their efficient approach, timely updates, and ability to deliver the project ahead of schedule. Antoine Delafargue, Vice President of Solar Distributed Generation at TotalEnergies, expressed pride in being TMCC’s energy partner. He emphasized that this partnership showcases the company’s expertise in helping customers decarbonize across different industries. He noted that completing the project ahead of schedule reflects the company’s commitment to engineering excellence and safety. He added that this achievement marks the beginning of a long-term partnership with TMCC and highlights TotalEnergies ENEOS’ dedication to delivering tailored renewable energy solutions that align with both operational needs and long-term sustainability goals. The completion of this project sets a new benchmark for sustainability in the golf industry, reinforcing the importance of clean energy adoption in traditionally non-industrial sectors. TMCC’s initiative demonstrates how golf clubs and recreational spaces can integrate renewable energy solutions to reduce their environmental impact while ensuring long-term financial savings. With this successful collaboration, TotalEnergies ENEOS and TMCC have taken a major step toward promoting sustainable energy in Singapore. Their efforts contribute to the broader vision of reducing carbon emissions and advancing clean energy adoption in the country. The success of this project may inspire other golf clubs and recreational facilities to explore similar solutions, paving the way for a more sustainable future in the sports and leisure industry. |
