Why Singapore built one of the world’s biggest floating solar farms

- To reduce its carbon footprint, Singapore is turning to renewable energy. And that means creating one of the world’s largest floating solar farms at Tengeh Reservoir. It is about the size of 45 football fields, and it can churn out enough electricity to power 16,000 four-room HDB flats for a year. How it works: str.sg/JveM

The Straits Times, the English flagship daily of SPH, has been serving readers for more than a century. Launched on July 15, 1845, its comprehensive coverage of world news, East Asian news, Southeast Asian news, home news, sports news, financial news and lifestyle updates makes The Straits Times the most-read newspaper in Singapore.
Excellent presentation - it looks like the plan and execution have been very well coordinated - the long term benefits of a project like this will pay big dividends not only in green energy but also the development of technical expertise. The people working on this project get the rare opportunity to experience new ideas and contribute to the benefit of their community. Definitely a Win / Win for everyone - Congratulations Beautiful Singapore for your Leadership in Community Planning - the rest of the World is watching with Admiration and Respect
Muy buena presentación. Aplicable en mi pais Paraguay, que tiene varios embalses grandes en las centrales hidroeléctricas y muy buena exposición solar.
❤️❤️❤️ love from ❤️❤️❤️ INDIA ❤️❤️❤️ ASSAM 🥰❤️❤️ GUWAHATI ❤️❤️
It should have storage battery systems for storing energy. Otherwise it would be useless at night.
But you can atleast use it for day.
Worthy news topic just ruined by the nonsensical and overly loud background music that competes with the narration.
Camera
Tengah it's Tengah!! with an A not E. not TENGEH!!!! 😭😅
Tengeh reservoir. Learn to google. 😂😂
Good for the future but currently fossil fuel energy is still very important because solar panel technology at the moment is still considered expensive and unable to replace fossil fuel by producing the same amount of energy.
Can do what Indians are doing in India? All people (landed house, Warehouses etc, Apartments et) need to fix solar panels on roof top and sell to grid, what happens is, All the energy will move to grid and anyone can use, end of the month when bill comes Electricity we sold to grid is deducted from used energy and have pay for rest .. for ex. In my home in India, We produce around 5kw, and our usage is 3kw, technically we get paid from Govt. Or in peak summer we never pay anything even though with peak usage
Is there a reason other countries not having more panels?
cos...they don't want to?
Its really expensive
@@thenameless7810 actually not expensive anymore. In china the cose of 1 kWh electricity from a solar farm can be reduced down to 0.1~0.3 RMB, including the maintance cost. China has been massively developing the solar farms in recent years. Similar floating solar farms is also being constructed in some countries if you google it. The reason that Europe is not doing this possibly because (i) the solar energy in Europe is not as efficient as in hot regions, and (ii) the EU has a higher importing tax for solar panels made in China to protect the local solar panel industry. Overall, in a short future, we will see more and more solar farms, likely built in some developing countries that have a shortage of energy recouces. Hope Greta Thunberg can be happy with this, instead of being a sad girl sitting in her warm living room heated by fossil fuels and criticizing those poor countries that emit much less CO2 per capita.
Make Singapore Great Again 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬
انا مستثمر في ذلك
Bravo. Well done. 👍👏👏 Perhaps PUB, URA, NEA, HDB BCA & Town Councils can jointly come up with new regulations / incentives for public & Private properties to harvest solar energy for its common area use & channel surpluses for Public common areas such as road lights etc.
This is one of the most disgusting thing can happen with a lake.... man... just can't believe how this can happen... where are the grren guys to avoid such crime like this?
I think if you were genius your brain is 1D. It’s ridiculous it’s not enough land in Singapore. You need to build floating in skies stacked slanted.
Without the sun shine, and if rain unable to replenish oxygen in this reservoir. I think we can say goodbye to the ecosystem beneath the surface.
ST article did have this quote..."Gaps between the solar panels allow sunlight to pass through and deployed aerators will maintain oxygen levels in the water, reducing the impact on biodiversity and water quality of the reservoir, ... "
Cover up reservoir may not b good idea. Constant check on the water condition is must, pls do a follow up video on how the authority manage the water condition....
bo liao
@@kissCharles wa bo liao, u chia liao bi, knn, u dun like, u can create new....
ST's multimedia team looks under the hood and finds out how Singapore built one of the world's biggest floating solar farms: str.sg/JveM
You are from another planet, right?
Singapore is building a solar farm in australia and laying a under sea cable to transmit DC electricity to SG. SG government kept quiet about it. No transparency!
nonsense la you and your half baked news. go read it again before you comment.
How is there no transparency? The information is available online what lol.
