Wuxi-Singapore Industrial Park

• Land Development

Wuxi, located in the Jiangsu province, is one of China’s earliest provinces to benefit from the government’s accelerated economic and infrastructure reforms of the 1990s. Launched in 1994, the Wuxi-Singapore Industrial Park (WSIP) which sits in the Wuxi New District (WND) is Sembcorp’s maiden project in China. Initially developed with a focus on general electronics manufacturing, the Wuxi government has since expanded its focus to the development of high-value industrial clusters including internet technology, microelectronics, and photovoltaics.

With this renewed strategy, WSIP has since developed a 99,000-square metre business park called the ‘Sino-Singapore International Park’, as well as a 400-hectare ‘Sino-Singapore Solar City’ photovoltaic park to attract companies producing renewable energy. To shore up the park’s energy resiliency, WSIP also supplies electricity to its tenants via a proprietary microgrid that is independent of the national power grid.
