This project moves us closer towards our brown to green transformation, as we target a focused growth in our renewables portfolio.”

With this win, Sembcorp now has a renewables portfolio of more than 3.5GW in operation and under development across Singapore, China, India, Vietnam and the UK, as it progresses towards its 2025 target of 10GW of gross installed renewable energy capacity.

The award of the wind project is not expected to have a material impact on the earnings per share and net asset value per share of Sembcorp Industries for the financial year ending December 31, 2021.
