YTL Power invited to submit proposal for Singapore’s 5th desalination plant

SINGAPORE: YTL Power International Bhd is one of four pre-qualified applicants invited to submit a proposal for Singapore’s fifth desalination plant on Jurong Island.

The other three are Keppel Infrastructure Holdings Pte Ltd, Sembcorp Utilities Pte Ltd, and Tuas Power Ltd.

PUB, Singapore’s national water agency, put up a Request for Proposal (RFP) today for the development of the desalination plant.

To be built under a Design-Build-Own-Operate (DBOO) arrangement by 2020, the plant will add another 137,000 cubic metres, or about 30 million imperial gallons of desalinated water (mgd) a day to Singapore’s water supply, enhancing water supply resilience.
