Township & Public Works Management MARINE PARADE TOWN COUNCIL

In collaboration with HDB as a pilot project, solar photovoltaic panels were installed at Blocks 30 to 34 Marine Crescent to convert natural sunlight into solar power which is used to power lifts, corridor and staircase lightings and water pumps. Due to its success, another 144 blocks within Marine Parade Town were installed with the Solar PV systems at the roof top in 2016.

It has a total of 57,048 residential units and 2,413 commercial (shops, hawker stalls and market) retail and other units under its management. In the financial year 2013/2014, the Town Council implemented $3.23 million worth of improvement projects, including covered linkways, integrated family playgrounds, fitness corners, residents’ corners and other facilities.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT & GREEN INITIATIVES

In 2013 to 2014, installations of new LED fittings to 265 blocks and 30 multi-storey car parks in Marine Parade Town were carried out progressively. Management also extended the installation of motion sensors to dim the LED lightings to all staircases. The corridors of residential blocks and multi-storey car parks were fitted with built-in timers to dim the LED lightings to 50% from 12 midnight to 6am for additional energy conservation. 66% of the managed blocks and multi-storey car parks have been retrofitted with new LED fittings and this is in addition to the retrofitting of LED lamps that has been completed at the common areas such as open spaces and linkways.
