NORWEGIAN firm Renewable Energy Corporation (REC) has yet to start operations at its Singapore plant, but some of its solar modules have already been earmarked for roofs here.
Its modules will be used in Singapore's largest solar installation - spanning 2,780 sq m - commissioned by Swiss pharmaceutical manufacturer Lonza Biologics.
Lonza awarded the million-dollar contract to Singapore-based Phoenix Solar yesterday at the inaugural Norway-Singapore energy conference.
Phoenix Solar, a unit of Germany's Phoenix Solar, will install a 181 kwp (kilowatt peak) solar system on Lonza's $480 million Tuas facility, which is due for completion next June.
The solar installation system will eventually supply about 4 per cent of the plant's energy needs.
