Meralco PowerGen Corp. (MGEN) said its subsidiary PacificLight Power Pte. Ltd. commissioned a 100-megawatt (MW) Fast Start Ancillary Services facility on Jurong Island, Singapore.
The new development enhances PLP’s ability to provide reliable and responsive power to the Singaporean grid.
The fast-start facility, powered by Siemens Energy gas turbines, provides rapid-response generation capacity, enhancing the flexibility of PLP’s existing operations. The plant will deliver critical support to the grid during unplanned outages or system disturbances. The expansion builds upon PLP’s current 830-MW Combined Cycle Gas Turbine plant, which has been supplying electricity to Singapore’s grid since 2014.
“This milestone reflects our commitment to investing in high-efficiency, future-ready technologies that address both reliability and sustainability challenges,” said MGEN president and chief executive Emmanuel Rubio.
“Through PLP, we are proud to contribute to Singapore’s energy security while expanding our regional footprint with innovation at the core,” he said.
