Hyflux-Mitsubishi consortium to build S$750m waste-to-energy plant in Tuas
The consortium will build Singapore's largest waste-to-energy plant in Tuas to help meet the country's electricity and waste disposal needs, says the National Environment Agency.

SINGAPORE: A consortium comprising Hyflux and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) will build Singapore’s sixth waste-to-energy (WTE) plant in Tuas, the National Environment Agency (NEA) announced on Tuesday (Sep 15).
Water management provider Hyflux and MHI were selected among six bids in a tender held in November last year, said NEA.
“At a first-year cost of S$55.19 per tonne, the Hyflux and MHI consortium submitted the most competitive offer for the development of a WTE plant and the provision of waste-to-energy services over a 25-year period,” explained NEA in a news release.
The project is valued at about S$750 million and it is expected to be completed by 2019, said Hyflux in a news release. The firms will form a concession company for the project, with Hyflux owning a 75 per cent stake and MHI 25 per cent.
Hyflux will undertake engineering, procurement and construction works worth S$636 million and MHI will provide the technology. Both companies will then jointly manage, operate and maintain the plant, said Hyflux.
The WTE will be Singapore’s largest and most energy-efficient plant, said NEA. It can produce 2,880MWh of electricity per day from incinerating waste, and the energy will be used to run the plant and power Singapore’s electricity needs.
The plant will also help to meet Singapore's waste disposal needs, as the amount is expected to increase amid economic and population growth.
The plant will be located on a 4.8-hectare site next to Tuaspring Integrated Water and Power Project.
Currently, the power generated from the four existing WTE plants supplies about 2 to 3 per cent of Singapore’s electricity needs, said NEA. The first WTE plant, Ulu Pandan Incineration Plant, was decommissioned in 2009 after 30 years.
The project is not expected to have a material impact on Hyflux's financial position for the year ending Dec 31, 2015, said the company.

9 firms in Tuas asked to relocate to make way for MRT extension
9 firms in Tuas asked to relocate to make way for MRT extension
By Ng Lian Cheong | Posted: 12 January 2011 2101 hrs
SINGAPORE: The government will acquire some of the land in the Tuas industrial estate to build the MRT extension in Tuas West.
Nine commercial buildings in the affected areas have been asked to relocate within two years.
These companies say they are concerned if they have suitable places to move to, and they hope the authorities can help them.
MediaCorp understands that the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) has asked the affected parties to assess the value of their factories and the compensation involved.
One of the affected companies, AnnAik, sits on Pioneer Road. Its board of directors told the company's shareholders that it was served the notice to relocate and that the price of its shares was not affected by the news.
In Tuas West, Liten Logistics Services had cleared out its warehouse as it was planning to renovate it. But now, it will have to change its plans.

Four new MRT stations for Tuas West extension
Four new MRT stations for Tuas West extension

SINGAPORE: Four new MRT stations will be built in Tuas in the next five years, offering greater convenience to commuters.
They are part of the S$3.5b Tuas West Extension project first announced under the Land Transport Masterplan in 2008.
Transport Minister Raymond Lim, who visited the Bedok MRT station on Tuesday, also revealed that the Circle Line will be fully open by the fourth quarter of this year.
The Tuas West Extension will be 7.5km long and it will begin after Joo Koon Station. The four new stations are at Tuas along Tuas Road; Tuas Crescent along Pioneer Road; Tuas West near Tuas Avenue 12 and Tuas Link located just outside Raffles Marina Country Club.
Mr Lim said: "When completed, it will improve accessibility and connectivity for people who work in the Jurong and Tuas industrial areas. The Tuas West Extension will help commuters save more than half their current travelling time when they commute to these areas.
"For instance, it takes about 35 minutes to travel by bus from Boon Lay Bus Interchange to Tuas West today. This will take only 15 minutes via MRT when the line is opened."
The project will also see a first in Singapore - the construction of a road viaduct along Pioneer Road that is integrated with the rail extension.
The 4-kilometre long and 3-lane viaduct will run along Pioneer Road to join Tuas South Avenue 3 with a 2.4-kilometre stretch of the road integrated within the rail viaduct. It aims to reduce congestion in the surrounding Tuas West area.
LTA's group director for engineering, Paul Fok, said: "There is going to be a lot of development in the Tuas West industrial area, so there is a need to increase the road capacity going towards the west. This viaduct is actually unique because we are stacking the rail viaduct on top of the road viaduct. That means we are saving quite a lot of land."
But some 49 plots and nine properties will have to make way for the project. The areas affected are along the Pan Island Expressway, Joo Koon Circle, Tuas Road, Pioneer Road, Tuas West Road, Tuas South Avenue 3 and Tuas West Drive.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) had previous planned for the Tuas West Extension to have only three stations. But after studies were concluded, it decided to include an additional station so that more commuters will be directly served by the MRT system.
The LTA will also be building another much larger MRT depot to cater to more trains that will ply the North-South and East-West lines. Spanning some 26 hectares, the depot will be able to house some 60 trains.
Thirteen more trains will be added for the extension.
There's also good news about the Circle Line. The last stretch of 12 stations from Marymount to HarbourFront - which includes Holland Village and Caldecott stations - will open this year.
Sixteen more trains will also be added to meet an increase in ridership. This will increase the total fleet of Circle Line trains by 40%.
The trains are scheduled to arrive around 2015.
On the safety aspect, LTA says that to date it has completed the installation of half-height platform screen doors on 11 elevated MRT stations.
Two stations - Bedok and Paya Lebar - began operations of the screen doors on Tuesday morning.
LTA says it is on track to complete the installation of the screen doors on the East-West Line by the third quarter of the year and for the North-South Line, by 2012.
