6 FAQs about [Solar energy power system Brunei]

How much energy can a solar power system produce in Brunei?

For a 10 kW solar power system and capacity factor of 13% (for Brunei), such system can produce approximately 227,760 kWh of energy over their lifespan (10 x 13% x 24h x 365 days x 20 years). As Brunei uses block electric tariff, electricity tariff of BN$0.06 per kWh will be used in calculation.

Are solar panels legal in Brunei?

At the moment, there is no regulatory governing the installation of solar panel in Brunei. Companies follow international standards for solar PV systems that convert solar energy into electrical energy, as well as for all the elements in the entire system.

Does Brunei have a solar city?

Brunei also intended to build the Temburong Smart City, which would mostly rely on solar energy and be dubbed the "Green Jewel of Brunei." However, Brunei has only put in 1.2 MW of solar as of now as a demonstration project. It's reasonable to assume that the implementation of renewable energy is still in its infancy.

What are the major solar installations in Brunei?

Major active solar installations in Brunei include the country’s first, Tenaga Suria Brunei, launched in 2010 with a capacity of 1.2 MWp, and Brunei Shell Petroleum’s 3.3 MWp solar plant, launched in 2021 to supply power to its headquarters. Both plants have plans for further expansion.

Why is solar power underutilized in Brunei?

With the abundance of oil & natural gas resources, the country has one of the cheapest electricity costs in the world. This would in turn make solar power underutilized. The purpose of this project is to design a solar system for Brunei’s medium sized residence to meet the daily energy demands.

Does Brunei have a sustainable future?

Brunei is targeting 30% renewable energy in total power generation mix by 2035, with 200 MWp of solar energy by 2025. The launch event also saw the release of Hengyi’s 2023 ESG Report, which highlights their progress in environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and governance.
