Singapore’s Punggol Digital District to feature first district-level smart grid

JTC Corporation has appointed Univers and PacificLight Power to develop Singapore’s first district-level smart grid in the Punggol Digital District. 

The project aims to enhance energy efficiency and integrate renewable energy sources by installing a smart grid powered by a battery energy storage system and solar panels. 

Once operational, the system is expected to generate over 3,000 MWh of clean energy annually. 

Scheduled for completion in 2026, the grid will optimize energy management across the district, supporting real-time monitoring and enabling peak shaving to ensure continuous energy supply. 

Additionally, the smart grid will facilitate demand response, allowing consumers to adjust their electricity usage in response to time-based rates. Univers’ AI and IoT-powered platform will manage the grid, integrating it with JTC’s estate operating system to provide real-time insights and enable smart meter tracking.
