TotalEnergies ENEOS Completes First Ground-Mount Solar Project In Singapore

TotalEnergies ENEOS has announced the completion of its first ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) project in Singapore, in partnership with Tanah Merah Country Club (TMCC), one of the most prestigious golf destinations in Singapore and the Asia region. This positions TMCC as Singapore’s first country club to be primarily powered by an onsite ground-mounted solar PV system.

The 2.2 MWp ground-mounted PV system has more than 3,700 solar modules installed and will generate over 3,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually, enough to power about 700 four-room HDB flats a year. This brings about significant cost savings for the club while reducing its carbon footprint by approximately 1,300 tons of CO2 emissions annually. This is equivalent to planting around 20,000 trees.

Under the terms of a long-term power purchase agreement, TotalEnergies ENEOS will fully fund, install, and operate the PV solar system. TMCC will benefit from a tailor-made solar solution by paying only for the electricity generated over the next 11 years, with no upfront costs. The partnership demonstrates TotalEnergies ENEOS commitment to working with TMCC to drive sustainable energy transition in the golf landscape across the region.

With safety as its core value, TotalEnergies ENEOS successfully completed 28,600 man-hours of construction over five months without any lost time injuries. The project was completed two months ahead of schedule.

Ronald Ong, Club President of Tanah Merah Country Club said: “The completion of the solar panel installation at Garden Clubhouse is a pivotal step in our commitment to combating climate change and supporting Singapore’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. This project is a crucial part of our broader ESG strategy at TMCC, reflecting our ongoing efforts to integrate sustainable practices into our operations. It also demonstrates our dedication to environmental stewardship for future generations, further solidifying our position as a leading golf and country club in environmental responsibility in the region. In addition, our partnership with TotalEnergies ENEOS has been a rewarding experience. Their efficient approach, timely updates, and ability to deliver ahead of schedule were impressive. We look forward to further sustainable initiatives for our community.”

Antoine DELAFARGUE, VP Solar Distributed Generation at TotalEnergies added, “We are honored to be chosen as TMCC’s energy partner of choice. This partnership underscores our expertise and dedication to supporting customers in their decarbonization journey across various industries and activities. Our collaboration with TMCC further exemplifies our commitment to delivering tailored renewable energy solutions that address both immediate operational needs and long-term sustainability goals. Having completed the project ahead of schedule, it strongly reflects our ability to deliver projects with a strong focus on engineering and safety excellence. We are proud to celebrate this project as a key millstone of a long-term partnership with TMCC.“
