S$6.3b to be invested in building world’s largest solar cell manufacturing complex in Singapore.

From making transistors, cpus and electronics to Solar Cells, Singapore is in transition. This news of Norway’s REC building a S$6.3b plant in Singapore nearly went off the radar.

How big is this deal? The last major deal from EDB was ExxonMobil’s $4b+ oil refinery. This has nearly eclipsed it.

It is also close to the size of the two $5b casinos.

Of course, most people wouldn’t bother too much about it since there wouldn’t be much media hype about this.

I think it’s a good move to turn existing wafer expertise that we have into new sectors of clean energy.

It’s same same…. but different.
