PacificLight, Bridge Data Centres Explore Low-Carbon Energy Solutions in SG

This article has been updated on May 9, 2026:

PacificLight Energy, a subsidiary of PacificLight Power (PLP) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bridge Data Centres to supply the latter’s data center operations with a mix of power from green energy and its “hydrogen-ready” natural gas facility, which is currently being developed on Jurong Island, Singapore.

Both companies will also explore renewable and low-carbon energy solutions—such as rooftop solar, hydrogen fuel cells, and on-site battery storage—for powering data centers, Data Center Dynamics reports. While still at the MoU stage, this collaboration reflects growing momentum toward sustainable energy infrastructure in Singapore and could offer valuable insights for Asia-Pacific countries like the Philippines.

PLP, a Singapore-based energy company, is a joint venture owned by Hong Kong’s First Pacific Company Limited and Meralco PowerGen Corporation, the generation arm of the Philippines’ Manila Electric Company (Meralco). The company currently operates an 830MW combined-cycle gas turbine plant on Jurong Island. It is also recognized for its low-carbon energy initiatives, including the issuance of renewable energy certificates and research into carbon capture technologies, supporting Singapore’s 2050 net-zero ambitions.

In a separate development, PLP has secured approval from Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) to build a new 670MW hydrogen-capable power plant on Jurong Island, expected to begin operations in 2029. The plant will initially run on natural gas, with the potential to transition to hydrogen when supply conditions allow. While not directly linked to any specific data center, the project underscores Singapore’s long-term strategy to decarbonize its energy mix while ensuring grid reliability.

As Southeast Asia scales up its digital infrastructure, models like Singapore’s offer a blueprint for balancing sustainability with reliability. For the Philippines and other emerging data center markets, the question now is how to adapt these innovations to local conditions.
