Press release
Singapore
Singapore July 23, 2024 – TotalEnergies ENEOS celebrates a long-term partnership with Tanah Merah Country Club (TMCC), one of the most prestigious golf destinations in Singapore and the Asia region. The celebration of the future installation of a 2,200 kilowatt-peak (kWp) ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) system, saw the gathering of Elliott Gray, TMCC General Manager, Matthieu Langeron, VP Solar Distributed Generation at TotalEnergies, and Elodie Renaud, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia.
TMCC prides itself as the first golf course to be powered by a ground-mounted solar system in Singapore primarily energized by onsite solar energy after the installation. This PV solar system strongly demonstrates their initiatives to strengthen their ESG performance and will support them in the Green Energy Transition while mitigating the club’s energy costs.
With more than 3,700 solar modules to be installed, the PV system is expected to generate approximately 3,160 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually, enough to power about 740 four-room HDB flats for a year. It will enable significant cost savings for TMCC and drive down the club’s carbon footprint by about 1,320 tons of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to planting over 20,000 trees.
Being recognized by TMCC for its multi-regional expertise and commitment to supporting customers in their efforts toward decarbonization, TotalEnergies ENEOS is pleased to be chosen for its highest industry and safety standards. Its professionalism and technical expertise throughout the end-to-end process of the project – from design to construction to operation, have proven to be clear differentiating factors for its partners.
With the signing of a long-term power purchase agreement, TotalEnergies ENEOS will fully fund, install and operate the PV solar system, while TMCC will only pay for the electricity produced for 11 years, without any upfront costs.
Ronald Ong, Club President of Tanah Merah Country Club said, “The Club achieved significant milestones in 2023, notably completing the Solar Panel Installation Project at Tampines Clubhouse in January 2024. This initiative is expected to deliver substantial consistent annual energy savings for the Club over the next 10+ years. As a leading golf and country club, we recognize our role and responsibility in combating climate change. By extending our efforts with the Solar Panel Installation Project at Garden Clubhouse, we aim to maximize solar energy utilization. This initiative not only reinforces our Club’s environmental commitment but also plays a crucial role in TMCC’s holistic ESG strategy.”
Elliott Gray, General Manager of Tanah Merah Country Club added, “TMCC is committed to integrating clean energy solutions into the core of our Club operations. This milestone underscores TMCC’s leadership in environmental responsibility, particularly significant amidst rising global energy costs and external inflationary pressures.”
Matthieu Langeron, VP Solar Distributed Generation at TotalEnergies shared “This partnership with TMCC underscores our expertise in providing bespoke renewable solutions, fostering innovation and prioritizing safety. Our regional expertise, backed by a dedicated team present in all 11 countries across APAC, close to our customers, is a non-negligible asset that positions us an energy partner of choice for any potential customer.”
Elodie Renaud, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia stated, “This project is a key milestone for both TMCC and TotalEnergies ENEOS. We are providing a best-in-class renewable energy solution to TMCC, adding yet another significant step forward in their sustainability journey while future proofing their energy strategy with significant reductions in their electricity costs.
TotalEnergies ENEOS, our joint venture between two energy global majors, are proud to embark with TMCC on its first ground mounted project in Singapore, illustrating the acceleration of our renewable activities in this key market for the Asia Pacific region. As we continue to work with our customers to foster long-term collaboration, we look forward to supporting more companies in their sustainability journey with a customer centric approach, and high focus on safety and performance.”
