An environmental study on PacificLight's 670MW hydrogen-compatible natural gas power plant on Jurong Island indicates limited marine impact, particularly on the nearby Helios Secondary Reef, 700m from the discharge outlet. The assessment suggests compliance with ASEAN guidelines for water temperature and chlorine levels.

However, experts express concerns over the study's reliance on outdated data and lack of recent field surveys, noting changes in coral health since 2012. PacificLight plans to manage environmental risks during construction and operation, including sedimentation control and monitoring water quality. The power plant is part of a broader initiative for low-carbon energy projects on Jurong Island.
