Shell stations in Singapore to provide EV charging
They will be Singapore’s first series of service stations integrated with smart energy management solutions.
Three Shell service stations in Singapore will soon be powered by clean energy and provide fast charging for electric vehicles (EVs).
The Energy Market Authority (EMA) and Shell have jointly awarded a research grant to a consortium led by local solar company Eigen Energy to develop Singapore’s first series of service stations integrated with smart energy management solutions by 2022. These three service stations are part of Shell’s growing network of EV charging points across the island.
The stations are in Tampines, Pasir Ris, and Lakeview. These three service stations are part of Shell’s growing network of EV charging points across the island.
“As the drive towards a lower carbon future intensifies, Shell is supporting the country’s push towards more sustainable development by offering faster EV charging which would provide drivers with more choices in decarbonisation. By 2030, we aim to have an extensive network of electric vehicle charging options for our customers, all within a short drive, from their home, workplace or when they are on the go,” said Ms Aw Kah Peng, Chairman of Shell Companies in Singapore.
The selected service stations will be powered by solar photovoltaic (PV) panels installed onsite and integrated with energy storage systems (ESS) to mitigate intermittency due to weather conditions.
