TotalEnergies ENEOS entered into a partnership with Tanah Merah Country Club (TMCC), one of the most prestigious golf destinations in Singapore and the Asia region, through the future installation of a 2,200 kilowatt-peak (kWp) ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) system. The ceremony was attended by Elliott Gray, TMCC General Manager, Matthieu Langeron, VP of Solar Distributed Generation at TotalEnergies, and Elodie Renaud, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia.
TMCC will become the first golf course in Singapore primarily powered by onsite solar energy after the installation. This PV solar system underscores TMCC’s commitment to enhancing its ESG performance, supporting the Green Energy Transition, and reducing energy costs.
With over 3,700 solar modules, the PV system is expected to generate approximately 3,160 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually, enough to power around 740 four-room HDB flats for a year. This will enable significant cost savings for TMCC and reduce the club’s carbon footprint by about 1,320 tons of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to planting over 20,000 trees.
TMCC recognized TotalEnergies ENEOS for its multi-regional expertise and dedication to helping customers decarbonize. TotalEnergies ENEOS was chosen for its high industry and safety standards, professionalism, and technical expertise throughout the entire project process—from design to construction to operation.
Under a long-term power purchase agreement, TotalEnergies ENEOS will fully fund, install, and operate the PV solar system, while TMCC will only pay for the electricity produced over 11 years, with no upfront costs. Ronald Ong, Club President of Tanah Merah Country Club said, “The Club achieved significant milestones in 2023, notably completing the Solar Panel Installation Project at Tampines Clubhouse in January 2024. This initiative is expected to deliver substantial consistent annual energy savings for the Club over the next 10+ years. As a leading golf and country club, we recognize our role and responsibility in combating climate change. By extending our efforts with the Solar Panel Installation Project at Garden Clubhouse, we aim to maximize solar energy utilization. This initiative not only reinforces our Club’s environmental commitment but also plays a crucial role in TMCC’s holistic ESG strategy.”
Elliott Gray, General Manager of Tanah Merah Country Club added, “TMCC is committed to integrating clean energy solutions into the core of our Club operations. This milestone underscores TMCC’s leadership in environmental responsibility, particularly significant amidst rising global energy costs and external inflationary pressures.”
Matthieu Langeron, VP Solar Distributed Generation at TotalEnergies shared “This partnership with TMCC underscores our expertise in providing bespoke renewable solutions, fostering innovation and prioritizing safety. Our regional expertise, backed by a dedicated team present in all 11 countries across APAC, close to our customers, is a non-negligible asset that positions us an energy partner of choice for any potential customer.”
Elodie Renaud, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia stated, “This project is a key milestone for both TMCC and TotalEnergies ENEOS. We are providing a best-in-class renewable energy solution to TMCC, adding yet another significant step forward in their sustainability journey while future proofing their energy strategy with significant reductions in their electricity costs.
