Keppel completes upgrade of Singapore's third waste-to-energy plant

The plant’s capacity is increased to 2,310 tonnes per day.

Two years after the agreement pushing for the capacity upgrade of Senoko Waste-to-Energy plant was inked, Keppel Corp's infrastructure arm announced that it has completed the said upgrade ahead of deadline.

In a statement, Keppel Infrastructure Fund Management Pte. Ltd (KIFM) said it has completed the capacity upgrade of the said plant on September 1.

"The upgrade was completed earlier than planned and on budget," Keppel said.

The upgrade was announced in 2014 after Senoko Waste-to-Energy Pte Ltd entered into an agreement with the National Environment Agency (NEA) to progressively increase the capacity from 2,100 tonnes per day to 2,310 tonnes per day.
