I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Hyflux desalination plant starting up without in-house power

By

DESALINATION group Hyflux, which is starting up its $1.05 billion Tuaspring desalination plant in the second half of this year, will have to power the facility in the interim with electricity purchased from Singapore's main power grid. This is because Tuaspring's in-house power plant, which is integral to the energy-intensive plant, will not be ready by then.

BT understands from industry sources that this stems from firstly, construction-related issues, including late award in December 2011 of the EPC contract for the 411-megawatt power plant, construction of which typically takes two to three years.

Apart from powering Tuaspring's 70 million gallons (265 million litres) per day desalination plant, the power plant - marking Hyflux's foray into the power business - is also expected to export some 300 MW of its excess capacity to the main grid. But there are also delays related to the plant's connection to the main power grid here.

While one source said Hyflux's power facility could lag Tuaspring's desalination plant by some six to 12 months, another said the delay could even stretch beyond that. Hyflux, which reported its 2012 financials on Feb 20, had indicated at that time that Tuaspring's desalination plant will start operations in the second half, while adding that "construction works on the power plant facility are progressing as planned", without specifying a completion date for the latter.
