Renewables a key Asean growth engine for Surbana Jurong
IN South-east Asia, the renewables sector is expected to be a key growth engine in the region, and Surbana Jurong (SJ) is doing all it can to ensure it is primed to tap on the many opportunities out there.
“Everybody is looking at five years down the line. If a company’s product came from a fossil fuel energy source, their product may not be exportable to say Europe or America in the future,” said Yeo Choon Chong, the Asean CEO of the Temasek-owned urban, infrastructure and managed services consulting firm.
“Companies need to have a plan. When we talk about energy transition, five years is not a long time,” the veteran engineer told The Business Times in a recent interview at Surbana Jurong Campus, its new headquarters at the Jurong Innovation District.
