In the next decade, Singapore must confront the interconnected challenges of climate change, a growing population and the need to remain globally competitive on a small island. The solution is to invest in innovative new megaprojects that do more in less space.
This episode tells the story of how engineers designed and constructed one of the world’s biggest floating solar farms on Tengah Reservoir. We show how engineers solve the challenges of a unique environment.
When completed, the energy generated by the Tengah solar farm will help Singapore achieve ambitious new solar targets by the end of the decade. And scientists are looking further into the future. To boost the country’s solar energy output, they are developing the next generation of solar panels and transforming the nation’s power grid.
