TotalEnergies ENEOS celebrates groundbreaking for its first Ground-mounted project in Singapore with Tanah Merah Country Club, one of the leading golf clubs in Asia

SINGAPORE, July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TotalEnergies ENEOS celebrates a long-term partnership with Tanah Merah Country Club (TMCC), one of the most prestigious golf destinations in Singapore and the Asia region. The celebration of the future installation of a 2,200 kilowatt-peak (kWp) ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) system, saw the gathering of Elliott Gray, TMCC General Manager, Matthieu Langeron, VP Solar Distributed Generation at TotalEnergies, and Elodie Renaud, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia.

TMCC prides itself as the first golf course to be powered by a ground-mounted solar system in Singapore primarily energized by onsite solar energy after the installation. This PV solar system strongly demonstrates their initiatives to strengthen their ESG performance and will support them in the Green Energy Transition while mitigating the club's energy costs.

With more than 3,700 solar modules to be installed, the PV system is expected to generate approximately 3,160 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually, enough to power about 740 four-room HDB flats for a year. It will enable significant cost savings for TMCC and drive down the club's carbon footprint by about 1,320 tons of CO₂ emissions annually, equivalent to planting over 20,000 trees.

Being recognized by TMCC for its multi-regional expertise and commitment to supporting customers in their efforts toward decarbonization, TotalEnergies ENEOS is pleased to be chosen for its highest industry and safety standards. Its professionalism and technical expertise throughout the end-to-end process of the project – from design to construction to operation, have proven to be clear differentiating factors for its partners.

With the signing of 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 for 11 years, without any 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."

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."

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.

Exports of high-quality wheat expected to top 25 million tonnes this year.

WINNIPEG, MB, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cereals Canada today released its annual New Wheat Crop Report to domestic and global customers of Canadian wheat. The 2024 report provides a quality and functionality update and highlights Canadian wheat production.

"In the 2024-25 crop year, Canada is expected to export 25.4 million tonnes of wheat to over 80 countries, with the quality and protein content that customers expect," stated Dean Dias, Chief Executive Officer at Cereals Canada. "This will make Canada the world's third largest exporter of wheat, and the top exporter of high quality, high protein wheat, for the second year in a row."

In a season that started with ample precipitation in Western Canada, Canadian farmers grew nearly 34.3 million tonnes of high-quality wheat. Yields exceeded expectations, leading to a four percent increase in non-durum wheat production and an eight percent increase in durum wheat production. Quality was excellent for all classes with a high proportion of the crop grading No. 2 or better.

The technical data for the 2024 wheat crop will be presented at two customer webinars hosted by Cereals Canada on November 19 and 20, before a cereals value chain delegation embarks on four international trade and technical missions. This year's delegation, which includes Cereals Canada experts, value chain members, producer representatives, and the Canadian Grain Commission, will engage with 18 markets that purchased $8.6 billion worth of Canadian wheat in 2023.  

"The New Crop Trade and Technical Missions help strengthen the competitiveness of the Canadian cereal industry," noted Dias. "Our targeted, in-market outreach provides opportunities to build relationships and create advocates for our industry, while engaging in market access discussions. It goes beyond simply providing updates on the quality of Canadian wheat."

The New Wheat Crop Report is prepared and presented annually, in partnership with the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC), value chain members, and provincial grower commissions. This fall, Cereals Canada received over 115 samples of Western Canadian wheat from eight grain exporters for analysis. The Grain Farmers of Ontario (GFO) contributed an assessment of Eastern Canadian winter wheat for the report.
