PowerSeraya Limited is an integrated Energy Company based in Singapore. While our core business is centred on Electricity Wholesaling and Retailing, we are fast becoming a diversified Energy Company, which includes supplying utility services such as electricity, steam and cooling water; oil trading; and producing water through Reverse Osmosis Desalination, for our own use or for sale to our large industrial and commercial customer base.

As an environmentally–conscientious company, PowerSeraya has always sourced for clean energy options to deliver affordable electricity to our customers. In 2002, PowerSeraya invested in two units of 370 MW combined cycle power plants which run on natural gas that discharge low levels of air impurities. Investment in emissions control equipment and switch to natural gas have succeeded in lowering Carbon Dioxide emissions by over 30% and Sulphur Dioxide by over 80% over the period of 1996 to 2006. The Group's latest investment in a new 800MW natural gas-fired Co-Generation Combined Cycle Power Plant, designed for increased thermal efficiency, will deliver greater environmental stewardship by decreasing overall carbon dioxide emissions by around 10% when it is fully operational in 2009/2010.

Established in 1991, the Singapore International Foundation (SIF) is a not-for-profit organisation that seeks to nurture active global citizens and friends for Singapore.
