The National Environment Agency (NEA) has awarded Keppel Infrastructure Trust (KIT) a three-year extension of its concession agreement to operate and refurbish the Senoko waste-to-energy (WtE) plant in Singapore. Valued at SGD300 million, the extension includes SGD80 million earmarked for the refurbishment of the facility. The original contract was set to expire in August 2024.

Keppel Seghers has been appointed to refurbish the key components of the plant and ensure safe and reliable operations. Moreover, Keppel Seghers, the current operator for the plant’s operations and maintenance (O&M), has also secured a three-year extension for its service contract, with an option to extend it for up to one year.

The Senoko WTE Plant, Singapore’s third WtE plant, can process 2,310 tonnes of waste daily. It features six incinerator-boiler units and two condensing turbine generators, providing a total maximum power generation capacity of 56 MW.
