Keppel unveils Jurong Island energy-and-cooling plan for 700 MW data center park
Published · Updated
What happened
Keppel Corporation announced a plan to build integrated energy and cooling facilities on Jurong Island for a future 700 MW data center park, including a hydrogen-compatible power plant. Keppel also said it will invest more than S$1 billion in the Keppel DC SGP 11 project.
Why it matters
The announcement ties a large new data-center load to dedicated generation and cooling infrastructure rather than relying only on existing system capacity. That can affect power-market planning, gas and hydrogen supply requirements, emissions pathways and the pace of industrial development on Jurong Island.
Keppel Corporation said on September 20 that it plans to integrate power, cooling and related utility infrastructure on Jurong Island to support a future 700 MW data center park. The company said the plan includes a hydrogen-compatible power plant and more than S$1 billion of investment in the Keppel DC SGP 11 project. The announcement links Singapore's data-center expansion with new on-island energy infrastructure and low-carbon power options, making permitting, fuel strategy and grid coordination immediate follow-up issues.
