The new solar farms may be developed through public-private partnerships as the ministry seeks to reduce the government’s financial burden. Brunei has set a target of generating 100 MW of solar energy by 2025 as part of the government’s initiative to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent over the next 10 years.
Construction of the solar power plant is slated to start in 2022, with $50,000 earmarked to conduct a land survey in Kg Sg Akar. Both the Bukit Panggal and Belingus solar farms will produce 15 MW of solar energy. Apart from the three new solar power plants, Brunei will expand its solar energy project in Seria from 1.2 MW to 4.2 MW.
Brunei is targeting 30% renewable energy in total power generation mix by 2035, with 200 MWp of solar energy by 2025. The launch event also saw the release of Hengyi’s 2023 ESG Report, which highlights their progress in environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and governance.
Major active solar installations in Brunei include the country’s first, Tenaga Suria Brunei, launched in 2010 with a capacity of 1.2 MWp, and Brunei Shell Petroleum’s 3.3 MWp solar plant, launched in 2021 to supply power to its headquarters. Both plants have plans for further expansion.
“The solar energy generated through Project SINAR will not only support the energy needs of Hengyi Industries’ petrochemical refinery, but will also contribute to Brunei’s national power grid when required, enhancing energy sustainability across the nation,” said Qiu Jianlin.
