Jurong Engineering

What Jurong Engineering does

Jurong Engineering Limited (JEL) is a Singapore-based engineering and construction company founded in 1971 that delivers Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC), construction, and maintenance services for power generation and industrial plants. The company serves utilities, independent power producers (IPPs), and process-industry owners across more than 30 countries spanning Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Its core delivery model is project-based EPC execution, frequently structured through consortium arrangements—most notably with Mitsubishi Power, which supplies advanced M701JAC/M701F gas turbine technology while JEL provides multidisciplinary in-house engineering (Process & Equipment, Electrical & Instrumentation, Civil & Structure, Piping) and on-the-ground construction. Reported scale includes 40+ EPC projects totaling over 8,500 MW, 200+ power plants built (100+ GW combined), and 680+ industrial facility projects.

JEL's technical portfolio centers on combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT), cogeneration, simple-cycle, coal/biomass, and waste-to-energy plants, with growing emphasis on hydrogen-ready turbines (up to 30% hydrogen co-firing, with a path toward 100%) and large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) integration. Flagship references include the Keppel Sakra Cogen 600 MW plant (awarded 2022, completion 2026) and the PacificLight 670 MW hydrogen-ready CCGT with integrated BESS (awarded October 2025, operation 2029) on Jurong Island. Maintenance and renewables are delivered through wholly owned subsidiary JEL Maintenance Pte Ltd (JML), which provides turbine overhaul, plant turnaround, and solar PV EPC/O&M (38.69 MWp of new solar secured and 23.49 MWp delivered in 2025).

Revenue is generated through negotiated, project-by-project contracts: large one-time EPC and construction awards (individual contracts exceeding SGD 1 billion in 2022) supplemented by professional-services maintenance and O&M engagements. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by a global network of wholly owned subsidiaries and branches, with pipeline driven by long-standing client relationships, consortium partnerships, and industry reputation rather than digital or product-led channels. JEL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan's IHI Corporation and operates as a key EPC execution arm for the IHI Group's global power and industrial projects.
