The projects are a significant boost to the venue's sustainability infrastructure and will enable it to become Asia's first meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) venue running on clean energy.
With over 17,000 photovoltaic panels installed on the rooftops of 10 exhibition halls and convention wing, Singapore Expo, which is managed by Constellar, will be the country's largest single-site solar panel installation. The installation is expected to be completed in October 2023 and once completed, it will replace conventional energy consumption at Singapore Expo with renewable energy.
The venue is also enabling a more sustainable way to travel. Shell will be installing 20 Shell Recharge electric vehicle charging points at Singapore Expo's carparks, making this the largest charging hub in the eastern part of Singapore. 20 drivers can charge at any single point of time while attending events or enjoying the F&B offerings at Singapore Expo.
"We are glad to partner with Singapore Expo in its sustainability journey,” said Doong Shiwen, general manager of Shell Mobility Singapore. “We want to deliver more and cleaner energy solutions, and electric mobility is one of the solutions that can meet the growing demand for transport in a lower-carbon world. With the largest EV charging hub in the eastern part of Singapore, we are extending Shell Recharge to more customers and hope to encourage even more drivers to embrace EVs."
