Several units of battery energy storage system (BESS) from JP Nelson Equipment have been deployed on construction sites in Singapore. These include, among others, a BESS 500(S) for a project on Lok Yang Way, used by Soilbuild Construction; two units of BESS 500 in Seletar, used by Sinmix and G&W; as well as a BESS 500HD and a BESS 300 at a residential development on Jalan Rajah, used by Houston Construction.

Serving as sustainable alternatives to diesel-powered generators, JP Nelson’s BESS 500 and BESS 300 come with a rated power of 500 kW and 300 kW respectively. The system is environment-friendly, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. It also enhances the reliability of renewable energy sources. In addition, it offers economic benefits, with potential for cost savings through peak shaving and energy arbitrage.

The BESS system is highly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, from civil construction to residential and industrial developments. It is also suitable for non-industrial projects. For example, JP Nelson recently supplied three units of BESS 500HD to Singapore’s 60th National Day Parade (NDP SG60) event, providing sustainable and reliable power during weekend rehearsals, preview and the actual day celebrations.

“This marks the first time in Singapore’s history that BESS technology has been deployed at a national-scale public event of this magnitude, showcasing a bold step forward in the nation’s commitment to sustainability and innovation,” shared JP Nelson.

The BESS units played a critical role in ensuring smooth operations for various segments of the event, demonstrating not only their reliability but also the environmental benefits of transitioning towards cleaner energy technologies.

“We are deeply honoured to contribute to this historic celebration of Singapore’s 60th year of independence,” said Nelson Lim, executive chairman of JP Nelson Equipment. “The successful deployment of BESS 500HD at the NDP SG60 is a milestone not just for JP Nelson, but for sustainable energy adoption in large-scale national events.”

“The use of BESS in such a high-profile setting highlights a pivotal shift towards greener alternatives in public infrastructure and large-scale events. It stands as a symbol of innovation, responsibility and forward thinking,” concluded JP Nelson.
