Supported by the Energy Market Authority (EMA), SP Group (SP) and the Science and Technology Policy and Plans Office (S&TPPO) under the Prime Minister’s Office, the upcoming Grid Digital Twin will serve to enhance Singapore’s grid resilience to ensure grid reliability and support the deployment of cleaner energy sources.   The Grid Digital Twin is a virtual representation of the physical power grid assets and network and operates using real-time and historical data. It comprises two key models: Asset Twin1 for the health management of grid assets (such as substations, transformers, cables); and Network Twin2 for the assessment of impact on the grid when connecting new energy sources or consumers to the grid. The Grid Digital Twin is currently in a prototype stage and is expected to be fully developed over the next few years. When fully deployed, it will enable SP to better plan, operate and maintain the national power grid through modelling and simulations so that the actual works can be carried out in a more effective and efficient way. (Refer to Annex for more information.) Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin include improving network planning analysis and remote monitoring of asset conditions, thereby saving manpower resources in carrying out extensive physical inspections. As the Grid Digital Twin provides a more holistic model of the grid, it can facilitate planning of infrastructure for different needs (such as installation of electric vehicle chargers, and connection of solar photovoltaic systems and energy storage systems). Progressive enhancements to the Grid Digital Twin are in place to make it more accurate and efficient, as SP continues to digitise the existing electricity assets under the network.   In tandem with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, Singapore is looking to greener sources of energy and more diversification of energy supply, such as solar deployments, energy storage systems and vehicle-to-grid technologies. In addition, power grid operations will become more complex with increasing electrification and deployment of more distributed energy resources (DERs). Currently, the national power grid comprises over 18,000 transformers, with more than 27,000 km of underground cables interconnecting over 11,000 substations. The Grid Digital Twin will therefore help to future-proof our power grid, to ensure that it is well-equipped to manage such complexities while maintaining reliability of grid operations.   Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said, “The digital twin for our national power grid will help to enhance the reliability of our electricity supply and support our transition towards greater energy sustainability. With the pressing need to tackle climate change, the power grid needs to evolve to support a more complex power system that will connect to more diverse sources of cleaner energy as well as a growing network to meet rising demand.”   Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, said, “SP Group works closely with EMA to explore measures to improve Singapore’s grid reliability and resilience. Harnessing the power of digitisation, the Grid Digital Twin enables us to monitor and test different scenarios based on a virtual replica of the grid. We can then effectively test potential upgrades and enhancements, and future-ready innovations such as the projects under the SP Group - NTU Joint Lab to support our ambition to empower the future of energy.”   When completed, the Grid Digital Twin will be a key initiative in contributing towards Singapore’s overall efforts for greater sustainability through enhanced grid network planning and operations.   Annex: Factsheet on the Singapore Power Grid Digital Twin -- End -- About Energy Market Authority The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry.

The digital twin of Singapore’s power grid will comprise two key models: Asset Twin to optimise the planning, operations and maintenance of SP’s grid assets (such as substations, transformers, switchgears and cables). The Asset Twin is able to remotely monitor and analyse the condition and performance of assets and identify potential risks in grid operations early. This allows SP Group (SP) to make informed decisions on renewal and maintenance plans accordingly. The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) to SP and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory3   Network Twin for impact assessment on grid. This uses modelling and simulations to determine the impact of additional loads (such as charging of electric vehicles) and distributed energy resources (such as solar photovoltaics and energy storage systems) on the grid. Using an advanced software framework known as the Multi Energy System Modelling & Optimisation (MESMO)4, the Network Twin is able to provide SP with a high-level assessment of the impact of demands on the grid and any upgrades required for different scenarios. The Network Twin is being developed by the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with its technology partner TUMCREATE Ltd. The project is funded by the Public Sector Science & Technology Policy & Plans Office (S&TPPO).   Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin are: Enhanced condition monitoring of assets and prioritisation of asset renewal, by having a decision tool that can identify risks and prioritise grid assets renewal plans. The tool will take into account health, utilisation and failure history of the grid assets.   Improvement in carrying out network planning analysis by having a better network utilisation when balancing new or peak electricity loads.   Optimisation of asset investment, by identifying potential synergies between asset renewal and upgrades for load growth without compromising grid resilience.   Grid Digital Twin comprising the Asset Twin and Network Twin (Image Credit: Energy Market Authority) KEY VISUAL FOR ASSET TWIN Overview of Asset Health and Criticality Index for the Distribution Network (Image Credit: SP Group-NTU Joint Laboratory) KEY VISUAL FOR NETWORK TWIN Dashboard for analysing electric vehicle charging impact on the distribution grid using the Network Twin (Image Credit: Institute of High Performance Computing and TUMCREATE) 1 The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by EMA to SP Group and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory. 2 The Network Twin is being developed by the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with its technology partner TUMCREATE Ltd.

This allows SP Group (SP) to make informed decisions on renewal and maintenance plans accordingly. The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) to SP and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory3   Network Twin for impact assessment on grid. This uses modelling and simulations to determine the impact of additional loads (such as charging of electric vehicles) and distributed energy resources (such as solar photovoltaics and energy storage systems) on the grid. Using an advanced software framework known as the Multi Energy System Modelling & Optimisation (MESMO)4, the Network Twin is able to provide SP with a high-level assessment of the impact of demands on the grid and any upgrades required for different scenarios. The Network Twin is being developed by the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with its technology partner TUMCREATE Ltd. The project is funded by the Public Sector Science & Technology Policy & Plans Office (S&TPPO).   Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin are: Enhanced condition monitoring of assets and prioritisation of asset renewal, by having a decision tool that can identify risks and prioritise grid assets renewal plans. The tool will take into account health, utilisation and failure history of the grid assets.   Improvement in carrying out network planning analysis by having a better network utilisation when balancing new or peak electricity loads.   Optimisation of asset investment, by identifying potential synergies between asset renewal and upgrades for load growth without compromising grid resilience.   Grid Digital Twin comprising the Asset Twin and Network Twin (Image Credit: Energy Market Authority) KEY VISUAL FOR ASSET TWIN Overview of Asset Health and Criticality Index for the Distribution Network (Image Credit: SP Group-NTU Joint Laboratory) KEY VISUAL FOR NETWORK TWIN Dashboard for analysing electric vehicle charging impact on the distribution grid using the Network Twin (Image Credit: Institute of High Performance Computing and TUMCREATE) 1 The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by EMA to SP Group and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory. 2 The Network Twin is being developed by the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with its technology partner TUMCREATE Ltd.

Supported by the Energy Market Authority (EMA), SP Group (SP) and the Science and Technology Policy and Plans Office (S&TPPO) under the Prime Minister’s Office, the upcoming Grid Digital Twin will serve to enhance Singapore’s grid resilience to ensure grid reliability and support the deployment of cleaner energy sources.   The Grid Digital Twin is a virtual representation of the physical power grid assets and network and operates using real-time and historical data. It comprises two key models: Asset Twin1 for the health management of grid assets (such as substations, transformers, cables); and Network Twin2 for the assessment of impact on the grid when connecting new energy sources or consumers to the grid. The Grid Digital Twin is currently in a prototype stage and is expected to be fully developed over the next few years. When fully deployed, it will enable SP to better plan, operate and maintain the national power grid through modelling and simulations so that the actual works can be carried out in a more effective and efficient way. (Refer to Annex for more information.) Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin include improving network planning analysis and remote monitoring of asset conditions, thereby saving manpower resources in carrying out extensive physical inspections. As the Grid Digital Twin provides a more holistic model of the grid, it can facilitate planning of infrastructure for different needs (such as installation of electric vehicle chargers, and connection of solar photovoltaic systems and energy storage systems). Progressive enhancements to the Grid Digital Twin are in place to make it more accurate and efficient, as SP continues to digitise the existing electricity assets under the network.   In tandem with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, Singapore is looking to greener sources of energy and more diversification of energy supply, such as solar deployments, energy storage systems and vehicle-to-grid technologies. In addition, power grid operations will become more complex with increasing electrification and deployment of more distributed energy resources (DERs). Currently, the national power grid comprises over 18,000 transformers, with more than 27,000 km of underground cables interconnecting over 11,000 substations. The Grid Digital Twin will therefore help to future-proof our power grid, to ensure that it is well-equipped to manage such complexities while maintaining reliability of grid operations.   Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said, “The digital twin for our national power grid will help to enhance the reliability of our electricity supply and support our transition towards greater energy sustainability. With the pressing need to tackle climate change, the power grid needs to evolve to support a more complex power system that will connect to more diverse sources of cleaner energy as well as a growing network to meet rising demand.”   Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, said, “SP Group works closely with EMA to explore measures to improve Singapore’s grid reliability and resilience. Harnessing the power of digitisation, the Grid Digital Twin enables us to monitor and test different scenarios based on a virtual replica of the grid.

ANNEX FACTSHEET ON THE SINGAPORE POWER GRID DIGITAL TWIN A digital twin is a virtual model of physical infrastructure, processes and systems that can carry out various functions such as intelligent data analysis, computer modelling and simulation and machine learning to support users in improving planning and decision-making processes. 2 The digital twin of Singapore’s power grid will comprise two key models: a. Asset Twin to optimise the planning, operations and maintenance of SP’s grid assets (such as substations, transformers, switchgears and cables). The Asset Twin is able to remotely monitor and analyse the condition and performance of assets and identify potential risks in grid operations early. This allows SP Group (SP) to make informed decisions on renewal and maintenance plans accordingly. The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) to SP and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory 3 . b. Network Twin for impact assessment on grid. This uses modelling and simulations to determine the impact of additional loads (such as charging of electric vehicles) and distributed energy resources (such as solar photovoltaics and energy storage systems) on the grid. Using an advanced software framework known as the Multi Energy System Modelling & Optimisation (MESMO) 4 , the Network Twin is able to provide SP with a high-level assessment of the impact of demands on the grid and any upgrades required for different scenarios. The Network Twin is being developed by the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with its technology partner TUMCREATE Ltd. The project is funded by the Public Sector Science & Technology Policy & Plans Office (S&TPPO). 3 The SP Group - NTU Joint Lab was established between SP Group and NTU in 2020, to explore energy-related projects in the areas of asset management and network operations. 4 MESMO is one of two primary simulation technologies that is used in the Singapore Integrated Transport Energy Model (SITEM) project. More details on SITEM can be found on A*STAR’s website: www.a-star.edu.sg/News-and-Events/a-star-news/news/press-releases/supporting-singapore-stransition-to-electric-vehicles. 3 Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin are: a. Enhanced condition monitoring of assets and prioritisation of asset renewal, by having a decision tool that can identify risks and prioritise grid assets renewal plans. The tool will take into account health, utilisation and failure history of the grid assets. b. Improvement in carrying out network planning analysis by having a better network utilisation when balancing new or peak electricity loads. c. Optimisation of asset investment, by identifying potential synergies between asset renewal and upgrades for load growth without compromising grid resilience.

Supported by the Energy Market Authority (EMA), SP Group (SP) and the Science and Technology Policy and Plans Office (S&TPPO) under the Prime Minister’s Office, the upcoming Grid Digital Twin will serve to enhance Singapore’s grid resilience to ensure grid reliability and support the deployment of cleaner energy sources.   The Grid Digital Twin is a virtual representation of the physical power grid assets and network and operates using real-time and historical data. It comprises two key models: Asset Twin1 for the health management of grid assets (such as substations, transformers, cables); and Network Twin2 for the assessment of impact on the grid when connecting new energy sources or consumers to the grid. The Grid Digital Twin is currently in a prototype stage and is expected to be fully developed over the next few years. When fully deployed, it will enable SP to better plan, operate and maintain the national power grid through modelling and simulations so that the actual works can be carried out in a more effective and efficient way. (Refer to Annex for more information.) Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin include improving network planning analysis and remote monitoring of asset conditions, thereby saving manpower resources in carrying out extensive physical inspections. As the Grid Digital Twin provides a more holistic model of the grid, it can facilitate planning of infrastructure for different needs (such as installation of electric vehicle chargers, and connection of solar photovoltaic systems and energy storage systems). Progressive enhancements to the Grid Digital Twin are in place to make it more accurate and efficient, as SP continues to digitise the existing electricity assets under the network.   In tandem with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, Singapore is looking to greener sources of energy and more diversification of energy supply, such as solar deployments, energy storage systems and vehicle-to-grid technologies. In addition, power grid operations will become more complex with increasing electrification and deployment of more distributed energy resources (DERs). Currently, the national power grid comprises over 18,000 transformers, with more than 27,000 km of underground cables interconnecting over 11,000 substations. The Grid Digital Twin will therefore help to future-proof our power grid, to ensure that it is well-equipped to manage such complexities while maintaining reliability of grid operations.   Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said, “The digital twin for our national power grid will help to enhance the reliability of our electricity supply and support our transition towards greater energy sustainability. With the pressing need to tackle climate change, the power grid needs to evolve to support a more complex power system that will connect to more diverse sources of cleaner energy as well as a growing network to meet rising demand.”   Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, said, “SP Group works closely with EMA to explore measures to improve Singapore’s grid reliability and resilience. Harnessing the power of digitisation, the Grid Digital Twin enables us to monitor and test different scenarios based on a virtual replica of the grid. We can then effectively test potential upgrades and enhancements, and future-ready innovations such as the projects under the SP Group - NTU Joint Lab to support our ambition to empower the future of energy.”   When completed, the Grid Digital Twin will be a key initiative in contributing towards Singapore’s overall efforts for greater sustainability through enhanced grid network planning and operations.   Annex: Factsheet on the Singapore Power Grid Digital Twin -- End -- About Energy Market Authority The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry.

Media Release SP Group Partners Airbus Asia Training Centre to Provide Sustainable Thermal Comfort with Smart Cooling Solution SINGAPORE, 13 JANUARY 2025 — SP Group (SP) will deploy its GET (Green Energy Tech) Control building intelligence system at Airbus Asia Training Centre (AATC) to improve occupant thermal comfort and enable energy savings. Under the five-year partnership, GET Control, powered by building intelligence solutions provider 75F, will provide dynamic airflow balancing that optimises air-conditioning and energy efficiency. The micro-climate control solution uses artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IOT) to ensure spaces are cooled more evenly by dynamically controlling airflow based on real-time temperature changes in weather and occupancy. In Singapore, air-conditioning typically contributes to about half of a building's total energy usage. When fully installed in 2025, GET Control aims to improve on AATC's existing air-conditioning system, which supplies a constant airflow to all locations, causing overcooling and higher energy use. GET Control will reduce energy consumption to lower costs and enhance efficiency by using the least amount of energy to deliver optimal cooling and occupant thermal comfort. This will be facilitated by retrofitting wireless sensors and smart dampers that eliminate the need for disruptive and expensive duct alteration works, saving up to 25 per cent on man-hours for installation. On a larger scale, GET Control will enable Airbus's largest flight crew training facility in the world to eventually become a green building, in line with the Super Low Energy Technology Roadmap published by Singapore's Building and Construction Authority. "SP is pleased to support AATC's efforts in providing a conducive environment for its trainees and employees to learn and work. GET Control will ensure an optimal occupant experience within the building while lowering AATC's carbon footprint. As Singapore accelerates in its decarbonisation journey, deploying innovative next-generation technologies will be key to a net-zero future," said Mr S Harsha, Managing Director of Sustainable Energy Solutions (Singapore), SP Group. AATC's General Manager, Silvia Meloni, said that this collaboration with SP reflected Airbus's commitment to reduce the environmental impact at its sites around the world. In the original design of AATC, thermal comfort was designed to be zonal, with spaces cooled uniformly throughout the facility regardless of room occupancy and usage. With the implementation of GET Control, AATC will be able to ensure conducive working and learning conditions for all without wasting energy by cooling spaces only when and where needed. “In a pilot project completed earlier in 2024, a single zone was fitted with GET Control. Electrical energy consumption was reduced by 48.8 per cent, cooling energy consumption was reduced by 18.5 per cent. With the full deployment of GET Control, the improved air-side cooling system is expected to reduce annual Scope 2 CO2 emissions by approximately 70 tonnes,” said Ms Meloni. In addition to AATC, GET Control has also been deployed at several commercial developments and educational institutions, including Republic Plaza, Singapore Institute of Technology (Punggol Campus), Singapore Land Tower, United Square, and the upcoming Labrador Tower. AATC and SP are also exploring the adoption of additional sustainable energy solutions such as electric vehicle charging and additional cooling optimisations to further reduce carbon emissions.

Gas Engineer Lydia Koh, 24, had just completed a lesson on energy-saving and gas safety practices. Sixty young beneficiaries from the Ang Mo Kio Family Service Centre waited eagerly for Lydia to reveal the answer to the specially designed quizzes. When she did, the room erupted in cheers, as the children rushed to make their next move on a giant snakes and ladders gameboard that Lydia designed and produced. This was one of the many regular activities organised by SP Heart Workers – the staff volunteers of SP Group. Heart Worker Lydia reaches out to communities in need by organising a sustained line-up of activities throughout the year. “We kept the game interactive, with short but impactful dos and don’ts. These children can be Powersavers and safety ambassadors among their families and friends,” Lydia said with a smile. To Lydia, who heads the Leak Survey unit at SP’s Gas Operations team, spreading gas safety practices is a top priority. She champions gas safety awareness as a member of SP’s gas safety taskforce and the SP Heart Workers. Lydia’s team of 11 inspects gas pipelines all around Singapore, on foot and in specially designed leak-detection vehicles. They cover over 400km a month. Lydia and her team member checking for gas leaks along the pipelines Driven by her desire to make a difference, Lydia is on a constant hunt for ways to uplift the job of her team to achieve greater precision and efficiency. She developed ATLAS, a combination of three apps and data visualisation tools, which enables her team to digitally file close to 3,500 reports annually from any work location. The platform which was launched in September 2019 generates monthly reports instantly, saving time required for travel and report routing. ATLAS is estimated to save 2,100 manhours per year, equivalent to over S$65,000 in cost savings. Public education continues to be a focus for Lydia, an engineer under SP’s Engineering Development for GraduatEs (EDGE) Programme. The programme enables her to gain exposure through stints in various business units over a five-year period. SP team inspecting the internal pipes of homes and sharing gas safety tips with residents. “I’ve heard about older people who try to find the source of a gas leak with a lighter, which is extremely dangerous.” “Home owners may feel we’re being overly careful, but the implications for their family members, neighbours, even their pets could be severe. Gas safety must never be left to guesswork,” cautioned Lydia. — 2 January 2020 TAGS PEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Ground feedback, digital tools: How she helps 8,000 workers end their day safely Faster repairs, fewer disruptions: Meet the innovative teams using smart tech to keep your piped gas supply flowing Engineer, 27, shares how she is undaunted by male-dominated energy industry & climbs the ranks Category: Reliability Reliabilityhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/energy-hub/reliability/young-animators-draw-up-gas-safety-tips SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Young Animators Draw up Gas Safety Tips RELIABILITY Working closely with NYP students were SP Group’s gas safety committee and corporate affairs department. The team comprised (first row, from left) SP’s Engineer Lydia Koh, SP’s Senior Engineer Nur Hafiza binte Mohd Zulkifli, NYP’s Lim Shu Ming, NYP’s Koh Chiau Wen, SP’s Head of Corporate Affairs, Amelia Champion, NYP’s Andrea Low, (second row, from left) NYP’s Quek Yu Jie, SP’s Senior Engineer Lo Ai Jin, NYP’s project supervisor Bhakta Srini, SP’s Senior Engineer Roseanne Chan, and SP’s Deputy Director, Corporate Affairs, Jeanie Lee. When Nanyang Polytechnic student Quek Yu Jie was 10, he came home to a strange smell and a hissing sound. He witnessed his mother’s quick reaction: she turned off a gas ring that had been left on, and opened all windows in the flat. “My mother knew we needed to let the gas out quickly. But I don’t think we knew we had to shut the main gas valve and leave all other appliances untouched,” Yu Jie, now 25 and a Nanyang Polytechnic final year student, recalled. Yu Jie and three other animation coursemates from NYP’s School of Interactive & Digital Media learnt this when they created a series of gas safety videos for SP Group as part of their Final Year Project. The biggest learning for them was that, using a mobile phone during a gas leak can spark a fire due to the microwaves emitted from phones, said Yu Jie, who led the video’s post-production. Statistics have shown that 42.5 per cent of the gas leaks attended to in the second half of 2018 were due to the misuse of gas appliances.  The videos are part of a gas safety campaign that is rolled out in September this year. NYP students engaged with the SP team to come up with a compelling public education campaign The team used animation to highlight key safety tips: how to detect a leak, ways to prevent gas-related incidents, and the importance of engaging a Licensed Gas Service Worker to install gas appliances. Team-mates Koh Chiau Wen and Lim Shu Ming, both 19, took the lead in developing key characters, while Andrea Low, 20, focused on creating the backdrop. The students worked closely with SP to decide on the best ways to drive home the key messages to a broad audience. “We want to raise the level of gas safety awareness as many people overlook the correct and safe use of gas appliances and accessories,” said Nur Hafiza binte Mohd Zulkifli, Senior Engineer, Gas Operations, from SP’s gas safety committee, a workgroup on gas safety education. Final Year Projects usually take about 480 hours, but project supervisor Bhakta Srini said that for this one, each put in up to 30 hours more, including over weekends and after school, to perfect the videos and capture the realism of human characters. “One second of a film is 24 frames and requires 12 drawings.  We created over 1,500 drawings in total,” explained Chiau Wen, who led the project team. But the students all agreed that it was worth it, since the videos get the message across using everyday scenarios. NYP students had to acquire gas safety knowledge from the SP Engineers and figure out how best to communicate this. Head of Corporate Affairs, Amelia Champion said the collaboration with the polytechnic helped to bring across SP’s gas safety advice through the lens of the students. “Anyone can potentially help detect or prevent a leak or be an advocate for safe practices. This series aims to make our safety messages easily understood and shared with others.” — 24 September 2019 TAGS RELIABILITYGAS SAFETY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Ground feedback, digital tools: How she helps 8,000 workers end their day safely Faster repairs, fewer disruptions: Meet the innovative teams using smart tech to keep your piped gas supply flowing Engineer, 27, shares how she is undaunted by male-dominated energy industry & climbs the ranks Category: Reliability SAFETY+PERFORMANCE+CRITERIA+POLICY.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/15cefbf0-572f-4ad6-9edc-9bc7b54a56f3/SAFETY+PERFORMANCE+CRITERIA+POLICY.pdf?MOD=AJPERES SAFETY PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Introduction 1.

Gas Engineer Lydia Koh, 24, had just completed a lesson on energy-saving and gas safety practices. Sixty young beneficiaries from the Ang Mo Kio Family Service Centre waited eagerly for Lydia to reveal the answer to the specially designed quizzes. When she did, the room erupted in cheers, as the children rushed to make their next move on a giant snakes and ladders gameboard that Lydia designed and produced. This was one of the many regular activities organised by SP Heart Workers – the staff volunteers of SP Group. Heart Worker Lydia reaches out to communities in need by organising a sustained line-up of activities throughout the year. “We kept the game interactive, with short but impactful dos and don’ts. These children can be Powersavers and safety ambassadors among their families and friends,” Lydia said with a smile. To Lydia, who heads the Leak Survey unit at SP’s Gas Operations team, spreading gas safety practices is a top priority. She champions gas safety awareness as a member of SP’s gas safety taskforce and the SP Heart Workers. Lydia’s team of 11 inspects gas pipelines all around Singapore, on foot and in specially designed leak-detection vehicles. They cover over 400km a month. Lydia and her team member checking for gas leaks along the pipelines Driven by her desire to make a difference, Lydia is on a constant hunt for ways to uplift the job of her team to achieve greater precision and efficiency. She developed ATLAS, a combination of three apps and data visualisation tools, which enables her team to digitally file close to 3,500 reports annually from any work location. The platform which was launched in September 2019 generates monthly reports instantly, saving time required for travel and report routing. ATLAS is estimated to save 2,100 manhours per year, equivalent to over S$65,000 in cost savings.

The team comprised (first row, from left) SP’s Engineer Lydia Koh, SP’s Senior Engineer Nur Hafiza binte Mohd Zulkifli, NYP’s Lim Shu Ming, NYP’s Koh Chiau Wen, SP’s Head of Corporate Affairs, Amelia Champion, NYP’s Andrea Low, (second row, from left) NYP’s Quek Yu Jie, SP’s Senior Engineer Lo Ai Jin, NYP’s project supervisor Bhakta Srini, SP’s Senior Engineer Roseanne Chan, and SP’s Deputy Director, Corporate Affairs, Jeanie Lee. When Nanyang Polytechnic student Quek Yu Jie was 10, he came home to a strange smell and a hissing sound. He witnessed his mother’s quick reaction: she turned off a gas ring that had been left on, and opened all windows in the flat. “My mother knew we needed to let the gas out quickly. But I don’t think we knew we had to shut the main gas valve and leave all other appliances untouched,” Yu Jie, now 25 and a Nanyang Polytechnic final year student, recalled. Yu Jie and three other animation coursemates from NYP’s School of Interactive & Digital Media learnt this when they created a series of gas safety videos for SP Group as part of their Final Year Project. The biggest learning for them was that, using a mobile phone during a gas leak can spark a fire due to the microwaves emitted from phones, said Yu Jie, who led the video’s post-production. Statistics have shown that 42.5 per cent of the gas leaks attended to in the second half of 2018 were due to the misuse of gas appliances.  The videos are part of a gas safety campaign that is rolled out in September this year. NYP students engaged with the SP team to come up with a compelling public education campaign The team used animation to highlight key safety tips: how to detect a leak, ways to prevent gas-related incidents, and the importance of engaging a Licensed Gas Service Worker to install gas appliances. Team-mates Koh Chiau Wen and Lim Shu Ming, both 19, took the lead in developing key characters, while Andrea Low, 20, focused on creating the backdrop. The students worked closely with SP to decide on the best ways to drive home the key messages to a broad audience. “We want to raise the level of gas safety awareness as many people overlook the correct and safe use of gas appliances and accessories,” said Nur Hafiza binte Mohd Zulkifli, Senior Engineer, Gas Operations, from SP’s gas safety committee, a workgroup on gas safety education. Final Year Projects usually take about 480 hours, but project supervisor Bhakta Srini said that for this one, each put in up to 30 hours more, including over weekends and after school, to perfect the videos and capture the realism of human characters. “One second of a film is 24 frames and requires 12 drawings.  We created over 1,500 drawings in total,” explained Chiau Wen, who led the project team. But the students all agreed that it was worth it, since the videos get the message across using everyday scenarios. NYP students had to acquire gas safety knowledge from the SP Engineers and figure out how best to communicate this. Head of Corporate Affairs, Amelia Champion said the collaboration with the polytechnic helped to bring across SP’s gas safety advice through the lens of the students. “Anyone can potentially help detect or prevent a leak or be an advocate for safe practices. This series aims to make our safety messages easily understood and shared with others.” — 24 September 2019 TAGS RELIABILITYGAS SAFETY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Ground feedback, digital tools: How she helps 8,000 workers end their day safely Faster repairs, fewer disruptions: Meet the innovative teams using smart tech to keep your piped gas supply flowing Engineer, 27, shares how she is undaunted by male-dominated energy industry & climbs the ranks Category: Reliability Safety Performance Criteria Policy.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:357660c9-748b-4390-a5fe-4d1ffa7016a4/Safety%20Performance%20Criteria%20Policy.pdf SAFETY PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Introduction 1.

Gas Engineer Lydia Koh, 24, had just completed a lesson on energy-saving and gas safety practices. Sixty young beneficiaries from the Ang Mo Kio Family Service Centre waited eagerly for Lydia to reveal the answer to the specially designed quizzes. When she did, the room erupted in cheers, as the children rushed to make their next move on a giant snakes and ladders gameboard that Lydia designed and produced. This was one of the many regular activities organised by SP Heart Workers – the staff volunteers of SP Group. Heart Worker Lydia reaches out to communities in need by organising a sustained line-up of activities throughout the year. “We kept the game interactive, with short but impactful dos and don’ts. These children can be Powersavers and safety ambassadors among their families and friends,” Lydia said with a smile. To Lydia, who heads the Leak Survey unit at SP’s Gas Operations team, spreading gas safety practices is a top priority. She champions gas safety awareness as a member of SP’s gas safety taskforce and the SP Heart Workers. Lydia’s team of 11 inspects gas pipelines all around Singapore, on foot and in specially designed leak-detection vehicles. They cover over 400km a month. Lydia and her team member checking for gas leaks along the pipelines Driven by her desire to make a difference, Lydia is on a constant hunt for ways to uplift the job of her team to achieve greater precision and efficiency. She developed ATLAS, a combination of three apps and data visualisation tools, which enables her team to digitally file close to 3,500 reports annually from any work location. The platform which was launched in September 2019 generates monthly reports instantly, saving time required for travel and report routing. ATLAS is estimated to save 2,100 manhours per year, equivalent to over S$65,000 in cost savings.

The team comprised (first row, from left) SP’s Engineer Lydia Koh, SP’s Senior Engineer Nur Hafiza binte Mohd Zulkifli, NYP’s Lim Shu Ming, NYP’s Koh Chiau Wen, SP’s Head of Corporate Affairs, Amelia Champion, NYP’s Andrea Low, (second row, from left) NYP’s Quek Yu Jie, SP’s Senior Engineer Lo Ai Jin, NYP’s project supervisor Bhakta Srini, SP’s Senior Engineer Roseanne Chan, and SP’s Deputy Director, Corporate Affairs, Jeanie Lee. When Nanyang Polytechnic student Quek Yu Jie was 10, he came home to a strange smell and a hissing sound. He witnessed his mother’s quick reaction: she turned off a gas ring that had been left on, and opened all windows in the flat. “My mother knew we needed to let the gas out quickly. But I don’t think we knew we had to shut the main gas valve and leave all other appliances untouched,” Yu Jie, now 25 and a Nanyang Polytechnic final year student, recalled. Yu Jie and three other animation coursemates from NYP’s School of Interactive & Digital Media learnt this when they created a series of gas safety videos for SP Group as part of their Final Year Project. The biggest learning for them was that, using a mobile phone during a gas leak can spark a fire due to the microwaves emitted from phones, said Yu Jie, who led the video’s post-production. Statistics have shown that 42.5 per cent of the gas leaks attended to in the second half of 2018 were due to the misuse of gas appliances.  The videos are part of a gas safety campaign that is rolled out in September this year. NYP students engaged with the SP team to come up with a compelling public education campaign The team used animation to highlight key safety tips: how to detect a leak, ways to prevent gas-related incidents, and the importance of engaging a Licensed Gas Service Worker to install gas appliances. Team-mates Koh Chiau Wen and Lim Shu Ming, both 19, took the lead in developing key characters, while Andrea Low, 20, focused on creating the backdrop. The students worked closely with SP to decide on the best ways to drive home the key messages to a broad audience. “We want to raise the level of gas safety awareness as many people overlook the correct and safe use of gas appliances and accessories,” said Nur Hafiza binte Mohd Zulkifli, Senior Engineer, Gas Operations, from SP’s gas safety committee, a workgroup on gas safety education. Final Year Projects usually take about 480 hours, but project supervisor Bhakta Srini said that for this one, each put in up to 30 hours more, including over weekends and after school, to perfect the videos and capture the realism of human characters. “One second of a film is 24 frames and requires 12 drawings.  We created over 1,500 drawings in total,” explained Chiau Wen, who led the project team. But the students all agreed that it was worth it, since the videos get the message across using everyday scenarios. NYP students had to acquire gas safety knowledge from the SP Engineers and figure out how best to communicate this. Head of Corporate Affairs, Amelia Champion said the collaboration with the polytechnic helped to bring across SP’s gas safety advice through the lens of the students. “Anyone can potentially help detect or prevent a leak or be an advocate for safe practices. This series aims to make our safety messages easily understood and shared with others.” — 24 September 2019 TAGS RELIABILITYGAS SAFETY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Ground feedback, digital tools: How she helps 8,000 workers end their day safely Faster repairs, fewer disruptions: Meet the innovative teams using smart tech to keep your piped gas supply flowing Engineer, 27, shares how she is undaunted by male-dominated energy industry & climbs the ranks Category: Reliability SAFETY+PERFORMANCE+CRITERIA+POLICY.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/15cefbf0-572f-4ad6-9edc-9bc7b54a56f3/SAFETY+PERFORMANCE+CRITERIA+POLICY.pdf?MOD=AJPERES SAFETY PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Introduction 1.

The team comprised (first row, from left) SP’s Engineer Lydia Koh, SP’s Senior Engineer Nur Hafiza binte Mohd Zulkifli, NYP’s Lim Shu Ming, NYP’s Koh Chiau Wen, SP’s Head of Corporate Affairs, Amelia Champion, NYP’s Andrea Low, (second row, from left) NYP’s Quek Yu Jie, SP’s Senior Engineer Lo Ai Jin, NYP’s project supervisor Bhakta Srini, SP’s Senior Engineer Roseanne Chan, and SP’s Deputy Director, Corporate Affairs, Jeanie Lee. When Nanyang Polytechnic student Quek Yu Jie was 10, he came home to a strange smell and a hissing sound. He witnessed his mother’s quick reaction: she turned off a gas ring that had been left on, and opened all windows in the flat. “My mother knew we needed to let the gas out quickly. But I don’t think we knew we had to shut the main gas valve and leave all other appliances untouched,” Yu Jie, now 25 and a Nanyang Polytechnic final year student, recalled. Yu Jie and three other animation coursemates from NYP’s School of Interactive & Digital Media learnt this when they created a series of gas safety videos for SP Group as part of their Final Year Project. The biggest learning for them was that, using a mobile phone during a gas leak can spark a fire due to the microwaves emitted from phones, said Yu Jie, who led the video’s post-production. Statistics have shown that 42.5 per cent of the gas leaks attended to in the second half of 2018 were due to the misuse of gas appliances.  The videos are part of a gas safety campaign that is rolled out in September this year. NYP students engaged with the SP team to come up with a compelling public education campaign The team used animation to highlight key safety tips: how to detect a leak, ways to prevent gas-related incidents, and the importance of engaging a Licensed Gas Service Worker to install gas appliances. Team-mates Koh Chiau Wen and Lim Shu Ming, both 19, took the lead in developing key characters, while Andrea Low, 20, focused on creating the backdrop. The students worked closely with SP to decide on the best ways to drive home the key messages to a broad audience. “We want to raise the level of gas safety awareness as many people overlook the correct and safe use of gas appliances and accessories,” said Nur Hafiza binte Mohd Zulkifli, Senior Engineer, Gas Operations, from SP’s gas safety committee, a workgroup on gas safety education. Final Year Projects usually take about 480 hours, but project supervisor Bhakta Srini said that for this one, each put in up to 30 hours more, including over weekends and after school, to perfect the videos and capture the realism of human characters. “One second of a film is 24 frames and requires 12 drawings.  We created over 1,500 drawings in total,” explained Chiau Wen, who led the project team. But the students all agreed that it was worth it, since the videos get the message across using everyday scenarios. NYP students had to acquire gas safety knowledge from the SP Engineers and figure out how best to communicate this. Head of Corporate Affairs, Amelia Champion said the collaboration with the polytechnic helped to bring across SP’s gas safety advice through the lens of the students. “Anyone can potentially help detect or prevent a leak or be an advocate for safe practices. This series aims to make our safety messages easily understood and shared with others.” — 24 September 2019 TAGS RELIABILITYGAS SAFETY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Ground feedback, digital tools: How she helps 8,000 workers end their day safely Faster repairs, fewer disruptions: Meet the innovative teams using smart tech to keep your piped gas supply flowing Engineer, 27, shares how she is undaunted by male-dominated energy industry & climbs the ranks Category: Reliability Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=gas-safety Search Reliabilityhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/energy-hub/reliability/not-leaving-gas-safety-to-chance SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Not Leaving Gas Safety to Chance RELIABILITY SP’s gas safety ambassadors: (from left) Technician Roslee bin Mohamed Moksin, Engineer Lydia Koh and Technical Officer Muhammad Rezduan bin Abdullah. Gas Engineer Lydia Koh, 24, had just completed a lesson on energy-saving and gas safety practices. Sixty young beneficiaries from the Ang Mo Kio Family Service Centre waited eagerly for Lydia to reveal the answer to the specially designed quizzes. When she did, the room erupted in cheers, as the children rushed to make their next move on a giant snakes and ladders gameboard that Lydia designed and produced. This was one of the many regular activities organised by SP Heart Workers – the staff volunteers of SP Group. Heart Worker Lydia reaches out to communities in need by organising a sustained line-up of activities throughout the year. “We kept the game interactive, with short but impactful dos and don’ts. These children can be Powersavers and safety ambassadors among their families and friends,” Lydia said with a smile. To Lydia, who heads the Leak Survey unit at SP’s Gas Operations team, spreading gas safety practices is a top priority. She champions gas safety awareness as a member of SP’s gas safety taskforce and the SP Heart Workers. Lydia’s team of 11 inspects gas pipelines all around Singapore, on foot and in specially designed leak-detection vehicles. They cover over 400km a month. Lydia and her team member checking for gas leaks along the pipelines Driven by her desire to make a difference, Lydia is on a constant hunt for ways to uplift the job of her team to achieve greater precision and efficiency. She developed ATLAS, a combination of three apps and data visualisation tools, which enables her team to digitally file close to 3,500 reports annually from any work location. The platform which was launched in September 2019 generates monthly reports instantly, saving time required for travel and report routing. ATLAS is estimated to save 2,100 manhours per year, equivalent to over S$65,000 in cost savings.

Schneider Electric Partners SP to Fully Electrify Service Vehicleshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Schneider-Electric-Partners-SP-To-Fully-Electrify-Service-Vehicles Media Release Schneider Electric Partners SP to Fully Electrify Service Vehicles Schneider Electric is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to use SP Group’s nationwide EV charging network Singapore, 2 January 2020 – Schneider Electric (SE) and SP Group (SP) today announced a partnership to fully electrify SE’s service fleet in Singapore. The agreement enables SE’s service vehicles to access SP’s nationwide network of electric vehicle (EV) charging points. SP will fully support SE’s charging needs for at least the next two years. SE has a total service fleet size of 25. Its intent is to convert 10 of its vehicles into EVs by June 2020 and fully electrify its fleet by 2021. This decision was made possible with the partnership with SP. Damien Dhellemmes, Country President of Schneider Electric Singapore elaborates: “Going green is a deliberate decision. After greening our regional headquarters in Singapore, our next step is to electrify our fleet. This is only possible if we have an accessible and wide enough charging network so that our service vehicles can be green and still serve our customers efficiently. SP’s nationwide network gives us the impetus to make this decision.” SP had earlier signed partnerships with Grab and HDT Singapore Taxi (HDT) to support the charging needs of their EV fleets. SE is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to be using SP’s nationwide EV charging network. This represents a growing trend of companies in Singapore electrifying their internal fleets to achieve environmental sustainability and cost savings. SP currently operates Singapore’s largest and fastest public EV charging network with more than 200 charging points across the island. It is targeting 1,000 EV charging points by end of 2020, of which 250 will be high-speed DC (direct current) chargers that can deliver a full charge in 30 minutes. Goh Chee Kiong, Head of Strategic Development, SP Group, said: “SP has built up deep capabilities in electric vehicle charging and usage over the years which we have harnessed for our nationwide public EV charging network. We are pleased to have Schneider Electric as our first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector and are confident this will provide a model for many other corporates to electrify their own fleet vehicles. SP’s pervasive EV charging network across Singapore will fully support their charging needs, providing drivers convenience and peace of mind.” About Schneider Electric At Schneider, we believe access to energy and digital is a basic human right.

[20190110] Berita Harian - SP Group Launches 38 Charging Points for Electric Vehicleshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:f278505f-b7f6-4258-8ebc-776e2a445a3c Berita Harian | Khamis, 10 Januari 2019 Berita SP Group lancar 38 tempat pengecas kenderaan elektrik MENGECAS KENDERAAN ELEKTRIK: Syarikat pembekal tenaga SP Group telah melancarkan kumpulan pertama tempat mengecas kenderaan elektrik. – Foto SPH SYARIKAT pembekal tenaga SP Group telah melancarkan kumpulan pertama tempat mengecas kenderaan elektrik. Langkah itu bertepatan dengan langkah syarikat pengangkutan sewa swasta, Grab, memanfaatkan kemudahan tersebut untuk mengecas kereta-kereta elektriknya. Kesemua 38 tempat pengecasan – 19 alat pengecas yang mempunyai arus berubah arah (AC) sebanyak 43 kilowatt dan 19 alat pengecas 50 kilowatt langsung (DC) – merupakan pengecas berkelajuan tinggi yang mampu menambah kuasa pada kereta elektrik bersaiz sederhana dalam masa sejam, berbanding enam hingga lapan jam menggunakan pengecas dalam rumah. Dalam kenyataannya, SP berkata tempat pengecasan itu terletak di lapan lokasi serata Singapura, berhampiran dengan pusat makanan, agar pemandu boleh berehat ketika kereta mereka sedang dicas. Tempat pengecasan tersebut adalah yang pertama daripada 1,000 tempat pengecasan yang SP ingin lancarkan menjelang 2020. Pengguna boleh mencari dan mengakses tempat mengecas yang disediakan melalui aplikasi SP. Ia boleh dimuat turun di iTunes App Store dan Google Play. Aplikasi tersebut turut mempunyai fungsi yang memaklumkan pengguna apabila pengecasan selesai. Ia juga membolehkan pengguna membuat pembayaran menerusi kad DBS dan POSB. Kad dari semua bank utama akan disertakan tidak lama lagi, kata SP. Sistem AC dapat mengecas kereta bersaiz sederhana dalam masa 45 hingga 60 minit, manakala pengecas DC dapat melakukannya dalam masa sekitar setengah jam. SP berkata ia merancang mahu memperkenalkan pengecas berkuasa 350 kilowatt “dalam beberapa tahun mendatang”. Pengecas tersebut dapat mengecas kereta berprestasi tinggi dalam kira-kira 15 minit. Ketika ini, pengguna perlu membayar 41.4 sen bagi setiap kilowatt jika mereka menggunakan pengecas AC dan 47.3 sen setiap kilowatt bagi pengecas DC. Mengikut kadar ini, SP berkata pemandu kereta elektrik boleh menjimat sekurang-kurangnya 50 peratus berbanding mereka yang memandu model setanding yang menggunakan petrol. Namun, akhbar The Straits Times difahamkan bahawa Grab akan memberi diskaun kepada para pemandu elektriknya. Syarikat tersebut dijangka menerima 20 kereta Hyundai Kona Electric bulan ini. Kereta ini – yang boleh memandu sejauh 400 kilometer jika dicas sehingga penuh – adalah sebahagian daripada 200 kereta yang telah dipesan Grab. Ogos lalu, syarikat pengangkutan itu telah membuat pengumuman bahawa ia bakal memperkenalkan kereta tersebut sebagai sebahagian daripada perkongsian dengan SP Group. Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (CEO) Kumpulan SP, Encik Wong Kim Yin, berkata rangkaian pengecasan SP akan “menggalak penggunaan mobiliti hijau yang lebih meluas di Singapura, dan membolehkan pemandu untuk berjimat”.

SP Group Partners Hyundai Motor Group to Accelerate Adoption of Electric Vehicles in Singaporehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-Partners-Hyundai-Motor-Group-to-Accelerate-Adoption-of-Electric-Vehicles-in-Singapore News Release SP Group Partners Hyundai Motor Group to Accelerate Adoption of Electric Vehicles in Singapore First Battery-as-a-Service concept in Southeast Asia Singapore & Seoul, 12 November 2020 – SP Group (SP) and Hyundai Motor Group (Hyundai) today announced that they have signed a Business Cooperation Agreement (BCA) to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EV) in Singapore. SP, which operates Singapore’s largest high-speed charging network, will partner with Hyundai to jointly develop a new business model for battery leasing, or Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) – a first in Southeast Asia – where EV users lease the car battery instead of owning it. Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer, SP Group, said: “SP has the largest fast EV charging network in Singapore and we are progressively expanding it to establish a highly pervasive and reliable network in order to encourage EV adoption. Through this partnership with Hyundai, we are making low-carbon mobility solutions more accessible to vehicle owners. EVs are a key pillar in SP’s strategy to introduce more low-carbon, smart energy solutions to help achieve Singapore’s sustainability goals.” “For the success of innovation activities through the Hyundai Motor Group's Singapore Global Innovation Center (HMGICS), cooperation with competent local partners like SP Group is important,” said Hongbum Jung, Senior Vice President of Hyundai Motor Group. “We will strengthen cooperation with various local partners starting with this cooperation.” In October 2020, Hyundai announced the establishment of an open innovation base through a groundbreaking ceremony for the HMGICS. Hyundai will step up efforts to expand the supply of electric vehicles in Singapore in cooperation with SP, which is expanding its network of charging infrastructure. Meanwhile, Hyundai is working closely with local universities, startups, and research institutes to build an innovative ecosystem in Singapore, including Nanyang Technological University for industry-academic cooperation in smart city and future new business areas, and PSA Cargo Solutions for the establishment of automatic logistics services. -Ends- About SP Group SP Group is a leading utilities group in the Asia Pacific, enabling a low-carbon, smart energy future for its customers.

Charging small car to take as little as 30 minutes By Leow Ju-Len btnews@sph.com.sg Singapore DRIVE your electric vehicle (EV) to the mall and leave with a fully-charged battery in the time it takes to grab a leisurely coffee. This is one premise behind SP Group’s intention to build the largest public EV charging network in Singapore by the end of the year. On Tuesday, the nation’s power grid operator announced that it will install 30 charging points across the island within the next six months, under a larger plan to set up 500 points by 2020. These points will be installed in shopping malls, residential areas, business parks and industrial sites. All of them will be available to any EV driver. SP Group chief executive Wong Kim Yin said the move was a logical one for the utilities company to make. “As the national grid operator, we are in a natural position to look after this because our electricity network is already pervasive. Wherever you want to charge EVs, the nearest infrastructure would most likely be from us,” he said. SP Group has called for two tenders to build the network: one for the supply of charging hardware and the other, for their installation at the charging points. More than 100 of the new chargers The charging points (above) will be in public-friendly points. A car being charged (right). SP Group’s grid is expected to raise demand for EVs. BT PHOTOS: KEVIN LIM will be direct-current (DC) fast chargers that operate at 50 kilowatts (kW) – enough to fully charge a small EV in as little as 30 minutes. The rest will be alternating current (AC) chargers that operate at 22kW. These are slower than DC chargers, but still roughly three times faster than the home chargers that EV owners typically install. Mr Wong would not disclose the amount that SP Group will invest in the network. A source from Komoco Motors, which imports the Hyundai Ioniq Electric here, told The Business Times that a single fast DC charger can cost as much as S$65,000 with installation. In contrast, a slower AC charger retails for just over S$5,000 here. The exact locations of the first 30 charging points are being determined, but the grid operator is inviting the public to suggest sites. Pricing has also yet to be finalised, but Goh Chee Kiong, the head of strategic development for SP Group, said there would likely be a tiered pricing system between DC and AC charging. “The investment in DC charging is substantially higher, because we are dealing with higher power ratings,” he said. He added that charging an EV nevertheless costs less than half of what it would cost to run a comparable petrol vehicle over the same distance. Going electric can also halve carbon emissions and reduce noise pollution, he said. SP Group is developing a smartphone app that will help EV drivers locate available charging points and pay for their electricity. As a power distributor, SP Group is unlikely to sell the juice to EV drivers directly. Instead, it will probably collect a tariff for the energy while building owners where the charging points are installed will be paid for the power supplied to them. EV retailers reacted positively to the announcement. Kevin Teng, the managing director of Wearnes (Renault), said: “This is extremely promising for the EV scene in Singapore, and could be a catalyst for widespread adoption of the quiet, environmentally friendly technology here.” In May, the company launched the Renault Zoe, a compact electric hatchback, and the Kangoo ZE, an electric panel van aimed at fleet operators. A spokesman for BMW Asia, which imports the BMW i3 EV and six Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle models, also welcomed the move. Preeti Gupta, the director of corporate affairs for BMW Asia, said: “We believe electro-mobility is the future for Singapore and SP Group’s bold contribution puts us a step closer to making this a reality.” SP Group’s Mr Goh said the company hoped that the network would stimulate demand for EVs in Singapore. “The common grouse by many prospective EV buyers in Singapore is always, ‘Where are the charging points?’ We have done our homework and we believe there is a certain threshold that we need to cross in terms of being pervasive and also having higher (charging) speed.” [20200102] Joint Media Release - Schneider Electric Partners SP To Fully Electrify Service Vehicleshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/d043785c-3726-4511-abcd-740361a5a138/%5B20200102%5D+Joint+Media+Release+-+Schneider+Electric+Partners+SP+To+Fully+Electrify+Service+Vehicles.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID= SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC PARTNERS SP GROUP TO FULLY ELECTRIFY SERVICE VEHICLES IN SINGAPORE Schneider Electric is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to use SP Group’s nationwide EV charging network Singapore, 2 January 2020 – Schneider Electric (SE) and SP Group (SP) today announced a partnership to fully electrify SE’s service fleet in Singapore. The agreement enables SE’s service vehicles to access SP’s nationwide network of electric vehicle (EV) charging points. SP will fully support SE’s charging needs for at least the next two years. SE has a total service fleet size of 25. Its intent is to convert 10 of its vehicles into EVs by June 2020 and fully electrify its fleet by 2021. This decision was made possible with the partnership with SP. Damien Dhellemmes, Country President of Schneider Electric Singapore elaborates: “Going green is a deliberate decision. After greening our regional headquarters in Singapore, our next step is to electrify our fleet. This is only possible if we have an accessible and wide enough charging network so that our service vehicles can be green and still serve our customers efficiently. SP’s nationwide network gives us the impetus to make this decision.” SP had earlier signed partnerships with Grab and HDT Singapore Taxi (HDT) to support the charging needs of their EV fleets. SE is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to be using SP’s nationwide EV charging network. This represents a growing trend of companies in Singapore electrifying their internal fleets to achieve environmental sustainability and cost savings. SP currently operates Singapore’s largest and fastest public EV charging network with more than 200 charging points across the island. It is targeting 1,000 EV charging points by end of 2020, of which 250 will be high-speed DC (direct current) chargers that can deliver a full charge in 30 minutes. 1 Goh Chee Kiong, Head of Strategic Development, SP Group, said: “SP has built up deep capabilities in electric vehicle charging and usage over the years which we have harnessed for our nationwide public EV charging network. We are pleased to have Schneider Electric as our first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector and are confident this will provide a model for many other corporates to electrify their own fleet vehicles. SP’s pervasive EV charging network across Singapore will fully support their charging needs, providing drivers convenience and peace of mind.” - Ends - 2 About Schneider Electric At Schneider, we believe access to energy and digital is a basic human right.

SP, which operates Singapore’s largest high-speed charging network, will partner with Hyundai to jointly develop a new business model for battery leasing, or Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) – a first in Southeast Asia – where EV users lease the car battery instead of owning it. Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer, SP Group, said: “SP has the largest fast EV charging network in Singapore and we are progressively expanding it to establish a highly pervasive and reliable network in order to encourage EV adoption. Through this partnership with Hyundai, we are making low-carbon mobility solutions more accessible to vehicle owners. EVs are a key pillar in SP’s strategy to introduce more low-carbon, smart energy solutions to help achieve Singapore’s sustainability goals.” “For the success of innovation activities through the Hyundai Motor Group's Singapore Global Innovation Center (HMGICS), cooperation with competent local partners like SP Group is important,” said Hongbum Jung, Senior Vice President of Hyundai Motor Group. “We will strengthen cooperation with various local partners starting with this cooperation.” In October 2020, Hyundai announced the establishment of an open innovation base through a groundbreaking ceremony for the HMGICS. Hyundai will step up efforts to expand the supply of electric vehicles in Singapore in cooperation with SP, which is expanding its network of charging infrastructure. Meanwhile, Hyundai is working closely with local universities, startups, and research institutes to build an innovative ecosystem in Singapore, including Nanyang Technological University for industry-academic cooperation in smart city and future new business areas, and PSA Cargo Solutions for the establishment of automatic logistics services. -Ends- About SP Group SP Group is a leading utilities group in the Asia Pacific, enabling a low-carbon, smart energy future for its customers.

Langkah itu bertepatan dengan langkah syarikat pengangkutan sewa swasta, Grab, memanfaatkan kemudahan tersebut untuk mengecas kereta-kereta elektriknya. Kesemua 38 tempat pengecasan – 19 alat pengecas yang mempunyai arus berubah arah (AC) sebanyak 43 kilowatt dan 19 alat pengecas 50 kilowatt langsung (DC) – merupakan pengecas berkelajuan tinggi yang mampu menambah kuasa pada kereta elektrik bersaiz sederhana dalam masa sejam, berbanding enam hingga lapan jam menggunakan pengecas dalam rumah. Dalam kenyataannya, SP berkata tempat pengecasan itu terletak di lapan lokasi serata Singapura, berhampiran dengan pusat makanan, agar pemandu boleh berehat ketika kereta mereka sedang dicas. Tempat pengecasan tersebut adalah yang pertama daripada 1,000 tempat pengecasan yang SP ingin lancarkan menjelang 2020. Pengguna boleh mencari dan mengakses tempat mengecas yang disediakan melalui aplikasi SP. Ia boleh dimuat turun di iTunes App Store dan Google Play. Aplikasi tersebut turut mempunyai fungsi yang memaklumkan pengguna apabila pengecasan selesai. Ia juga membolehkan pengguna membuat pembayaran menerusi kad DBS dan POSB. Kad dari semua bank utama akan disertakan tidak lama lagi, kata SP. Sistem AC dapat mengecas kereta bersaiz sederhana dalam masa 45 hingga 60 minit, manakala pengecas DC dapat melakukannya dalam masa sekitar setengah jam. SP berkata ia merancang mahu memperkenalkan pengecas berkuasa 350 kilowatt “dalam beberapa tahun mendatang”. Pengecas tersebut dapat mengecas kereta berprestasi tinggi dalam kira-kira 15 minit. Ketika ini, pengguna perlu membayar 41.4 sen bagi setiap kilowatt jika mereka menggunakan pengecas AC dan 47.3 sen setiap kilowatt bagi pengecas DC. Mengikut kadar ini, SP berkata pemandu kereta elektrik boleh menjimat sekurang-kurangnya 50 peratus berbanding mereka yang memandu model setanding yang menggunakan petrol. Namun, akhbar The Straits Times difahamkan bahawa Grab akan memberi diskaun kepada para pemandu elektriknya. Syarikat tersebut dijangka menerima 20 kereta Hyundai Kona Electric bulan ini. Kereta ini – yang boleh memandu sejauh 400 kilometer jika dicas sehingga penuh – adalah sebahagian daripada 200 kereta yang telah dipesan Grab. Ogos lalu, syarikat pengangkutan itu telah membuat pengumuman bahawa ia bakal memperkenalkan kereta tersebut sebagai sebahagian daripada perkongsian dengan SP Group. Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (CEO) Kumpulan SP, Encik Wong Kim Yin, berkata rangkaian pengecasan SP akan “menggalak penggunaan mobiliti hijau yang lebih meluas di Singapura, dan membolehkan pemandu untuk berjimat”.

Schneider Electric Partners SP to Fully Electrify Service Vehicleshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Schneider-Electric-Partners-SP-To-Fully-Electrify-Service-Vehicles Media Release Schneider Electric Partners SP to Fully Electrify Service Vehicles Schneider Electric is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to use SP Group’s nationwide EV charging network Singapore, 2 January 2020 – Schneider Electric (SE) and SP Group (SP) today announced a partnership to fully electrify SE’s service fleet in Singapore. The agreement enables SE’s service vehicles to access SP’s nationwide network of electric vehicle (EV) charging points. SP will fully support SE’s charging needs for at least the next two years. SE has a total service fleet size of 25. Its intent is to convert 10 of its vehicles into EVs by June 2020 and fully electrify its fleet by 2021. This decision was made possible with the partnership with SP. Damien Dhellemmes, Country President of Schneider Electric Singapore elaborates: “Going green is a deliberate decision. After greening our regional headquarters in Singapore, our next step is to electrify our fleet. This is only possible if we have an accessible and wide enough charging network so that our service vehicles can be green and still serve our customers efficiently. SP’s nationwide network gives us the impetus to make this decision.” SP had earlier signed partnerships with Grab and HDT Singapore Taxi (HDT) to support the charging needs of their EV fleets. SE is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to be using SP’s nationwide EV charging network. This represents a growing trend of companies in Singapore electrifying their internal fleets to achieve environmental sustainability and cost savings. SP currently operates Singapore’s largest and fastest public EV charging network with more than 200 charging points across the island. It is targeting 1,000 EV charging points by end of 2020, of which 250 will be high-speed DC (direct current) chargers that can deliver a full charge in 30 minutes. Goh Chee Kiong, Head of Strategic Development, SP Group, said: “SP has built up deep capabilities in electric vehicle charging and usage over the years which we have harnessed for our nationwide public EV charging network. We are pleased to have Schneider Electric as our first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector and are confident this will provide a model for many other corporates to electrify their own fleet vehicles. SP’s pervasive EV charging network across Singapore will fully support their charging needs, providing drivers convenience and peace of mind.” About Schneider Electric At Schneider, we believe access to energy and digital is a basic human right.

[20201113] Straits Times - Higher rebates, surcharges to cut vehicle emissions from next yearhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:cdb796c3-b029-4dbe-a0c0-8a023522f3c5 Higher rebates, surcharges to cut vehicle emissions from next year Clement Yong Rebates on the purchase of cleaner cars will be increased by $5,000 from Jan 1 next year to Dec 31, 2022, under the Vehicular Emissions Scheme (VES). Cleaner taxis will have their rebates increased by $7,500 in the same time period, under the programme aimed at nudging motorists towards more environmentally friendly models of private transport. In the carrot-and-stick model, surcharges for more pollutive vehicles will also be increased – by $5,000 for cars and $7,500 for taxis. This will kick in on July 1 next year instead of at the start of the year to allow time for the market to adjust, and will be in effect until Dec 31, 2022, the National Environment Agency (NEA) and Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a joint statement yesterday. The increased rebates and surcharges mean buyers of cleaner cars will be awarded with rebates of up to $25,000, up from the previous $20,000, while buyers of the most pollutive cars will be penalised by $25,000, also up from $20,000. The VES was introduced in 2018 to reduce carbon emissions on Singapore’s roads. It categorises vehicles based on emissions across five pollutants, with each category’s rebate or surcharge calibrated accordingly. NEA and LTA said the scheme has been effective in encouraging the purchase of cleaner car models, with the number of new cars that qualify for the cleanest two bands increasing by 60 per cent between the third quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of this year. The number of those in the most pollutive two bands has fallen by around 20 per cent in the same time period. Singapore University of Social Sciences associate professor of economics Walter Theseira said the VES rebates and surcharges could push motorists towards the adoption of cleaner cars in two ways. As motor car dealers usually quote a price inclusive of all taxes and certificate of entitlement bidding, a portion of the discounts usually goes to car buyers, while another could go to the dealers. This means that in addition to consumers getting a discount, the VES changes could also encourage car dealers to import cleaner models. Cleaner cars include the Hyundai Kona Electric, Renault Zoe and Toyota Prius Plus, while more pollutive cars are those like the Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 CVT, Mazda CX-5 2.5 AT and Porsche Cayenne E3. The enhanced VES is also a boon for aspiring electric car buyers, whose car models often fall under the cleanest bands. Together with the early adoption incentive scheme for electric vehicle buyers announced by LTA in February – which offers rebates capped at $20,000 per vehicle – the increased rebates under the VES will allow for savings of up to $45,000 for each new fully electric car. However, Associate Professor Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung beside a BlueSG electric vehicle (EV). He said the authorities are reviewing the plan to increase the number of EV-charging points to see if commercial parties could be roped in. PHOTO: ONG YE KUNG/FACEBOOK Theseira noted that there are additional factors to consider with regard to electric vehicles. “The number of electric vehicle models is still very limited compared with that of internal combustion engines. Electric vehicles also require the owner to have available charging. I think until these two are solved, the VES change will have minimal effect,” he said. Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung said yesterday that industry watchers believe that costs for motorists choosing between electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles will equalise by around 2025, or earlier. Electric models are now still generally more expensive, and there were only 1,125 electric cars on the road as at January. SP, Hyundai to boost usage of electric vehicles SP Group and Hyundai Motor Group signed an agreement yesterday to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in Singapore. The Temasek investment fund-owned group and the South Korean automotive manufacturer will work together on various initiatives, including the expansion of Singapore’s electric vehicle-charging infrastructure to make owning an electric car more convenient for motorists. They will also jointly develop a new business model for battery leasing, which will allow electric vehicle users to lease the car battery instead of owning it. It will be the first such exploration in South-east Asia. “SP and Hyundai aim to lower the initial cost of purchasing electric vehicles, enhance the accessibility of charging points and build an ecosystem of innovative solutions that can encourage the adoption of electric vehicles in Singapore,” the two groups said in a press statement. Mr Ong referred to Singapore’s electric vehicle-charging infrastructure, which has been cited as a potential bottleneck by industry watchers who believe the lack of chargers could stop Singapore’s electric dreams in its tracks. Singapore currently has 1,800 charging points and is planning to increase this to 28,000 by 2030. Mr Ong repeated what he said in SP’s group chief executive officer Stanley Huang said electric vehicles constitute a key pillar in SP’s strategy to help Singapore achieve its sustainability goals. Singapore aims for the last internal combustion engine car to be sold in 2030 and wants to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles by 2040. Hyundai Motor Group’s senior vice-president Jung Hong-bum said the group will continue to strengthen its cooperation with various local partners, beginning with this partnership with SP group. It is currently working closely with local universities such as Nanyang Technological University, start-ups and research institutes to create smart city solutions and brainstorm new future business areas. There are currently about 1,800 charging points in Singapore. The aim is to have more than 28,000 by 2030. Clement Yong Parliament last month – that the authorities are reviewing this plan to see if it could be made more ambitious by roping in commercial parties. “What is clear is that EVs (electric vehicles) will become a reality, but we need to embrace and promote it,” he said. clementy@sph.com.sg Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=electric-vehicles Search [20190110] Tamil Murasu - Charging Points for Electric Vehicleshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:13083dd3-5d8f-4798-b008-aff32ef063a1 ������� ���� ����� ������ �������� ���� ��� ��� �� ����� ���� ���� ������� ������, ���� ��� ���� ����� ���� �� (���) ��� ���� ���� ����. �� ������ ��� ��� ������ ���� 38 ����� ������ �� ������������. �����, 43 ���� ����� �� ����� ������ 19. ���� 50 ���� ��� �� �� ����� ������. ��� ����� ������ ��������� ���� ������������ ����� �� ������� ���� ������ ����� ����. ���� ������ ��� ����� ���������� 1,000 ����� ������� ���� ���������� 38 ������ �������� �������� ������. ��� ������ ���� ����� ��� ����. ���� ����� ���� ���� �� �� ������� ������ ��� ����. ���� ����� ����� ��������� ���� �� ��� ��� �� ��� ������. ��� ����� ������ ����� ����� ����� �� ����� ��������� ��� ������� ����� ������� ����. ���� ����������� ���� ��� ����� ������ ���. ������ ���� ���� ����� ������ ��� ���� ����� ��� ��� ���� ����. ��� ���� ������ ������� �������� ��� ���� ����� �������� ���� ���. �� ����� ���� �� ����� 45 ��� 60 ������ ����� ����, �� ����� ������ ���� ��� 30 ������ ����� ���� �� ���� ��. ���� �� ������ 350 ���� ����� �� Source: Tamil Murasu © Singapore Press Holdings Limited.

Schneider Electric Partners SP to Fully Electrify Service Vehicleshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Schneider-Electric-Partners-SP-To-Fully-Electrify-Service-Vehicles Media Release Schneider Electric Partners SP to Fully Electrify Service Vehicles Schneider Electric is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to use SP Group’s nationwide EV charging network Singapore, 2 January 2020 – Schneider Electric (SE) and SP Group (SP) today announced a partnership to fully electrify SE’s service fleet in Singapore. The agreement enables SE’s service vehicles to access SP’s nationwide network of electric vehicle (EV) charging points. SP will fully support SE’s charging needs for at least the next two years. SE has a total service fleet size of 25. Its intent is to convert 10 of its vehicles into EVs by June 2020 and fully electrify its fleet by 2021. This decision was made possible with the partnership with SP. Damien Dhellemmes, Country President of Schneider Electric Singapore elaborates: “Going green is a deliberate decision. After greening our regional headquarters in Singapore, our next step is to electrify our fleet. This is only possible if we have an accessible and wide enough charging network so that our service vehicles can be green and still serve our customers efficiently. SP’s nationwide network gives us the impetus to make this decision.” SP had earlier signed partnerships with Grab and HDT Singapore Taxi (HDT) to support the charging needs of their EV fleets. SE is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to be using SP’s nationwide EV charging network. This represents a growing trend of companies in Singapore electrifying their internal fleets to achieve environmental sustainability and cost savings. SP currently operates Singapore’s largest and fastest public EV charging network with more than 200 charging points across the island. It is targeting 1,000 EV charging points by end of 2020, of which 250 will be high-speed DC (direct current) chargers that can deliver a full charge in 30 minutes. Goh Chee Kiong, Head of Strategic Development, SP Group, said: “SP has built up deep capabilities in electric vehicle charging and usage over the years which we have harnessed for our nationwide public EV charging network. We are pleased to have Schneider Electric as our first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector and are confident this will provide a model for many other corporates to electrify their own fleet vehicles. SP’s pervasive EV charging network across Singapore will fully support their charging needs, providing drivers convenience and peace of mind.” About Schneider Electric At Schneider, we believe access to energy and digital is a basic human right.

News Release Strides and SP Group to Launch Electrification-As-A-Service (EaaS) for EV Customers Singapore, 28 May 2021 – SP Group (SP) and Strides Transportation (Strides) have signed an agreement to launch Electrification-as-a-Service (EaaS) as a new offering to Strides’ drivers and fleet customers. Strides will leverage SP’s high-speed public EV charging network, which is the largest of its kind in Singapore, to provide the service. Both parties also agreed on a strategic collaboration to explore various technological solutions to enhance the EaaS offering for EV customers, including the provision and operation of charging points at customer premises. Through this tie-up, Strides, a subsidiary of SMRT Road Holdings, will offer its EV drivers and corporate customers access to high-speed chargers around Singapore. This will provide greater convenience and a quicker turnaround time for its drivers. SP Mobility, a subsidiary of SP, is a dominant player and an early mover in EV charging infrastructure. It currently has 340 charging points set up in 71 locations[1] including shopping malls, commercial buildings, business parks and industrial sites islandwide. One-third of SP’s nationwide charging network are high-speed DC chargers. The signing was witnessed by Group Chief Executive Officer of SP, Mr Stanley Huang, and SMRT Corporation’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr Neo Kian Hong. Mr Huang said, “We are committed to accelerating Singapore’s green mobility transition and enabling large-scale adoption through accessibility, convenience and affordability. In addition to building the most pervasive network infrastructure in Singapore, we will be drawing on our technology to find new ways to meet Stride’s business needs, and the differentiated charging needs of the EV ecosystem. I am confident this partnership will provide insights and spur innovations to drive greater operational efficiencies and sustainable outcomes for customers and drivers.” Mr Tan Kian Heong, President, SMRT Road Holdings, said, “Electric vehicle charging is key to the adoption of EV and migration to green transport modes in Singapore. As a player in the EV ecosystem, we want to assure all our partners that Strides’ Electrification-as-a-Service has a suite of solutions to meet their needs. We look forward to our collaboration with SP Group, which will go a long way towards powering our fleet of EVs, which include the electric taxis that are coming our way.” Strides’ EaaS is a suite of end-to-end solutions that include the provision and maintenance of a wide range of electric vehicles, charging infrastructure and a digital management platform. Strides and SP aim to jointly develop innovative solutions that deliver a seamless user experience and help companies and fleet owners accelerate their sustainability plans. SMRT recently announced its plans to convert its entire taxi fleet to 100% electric within the next five years. The first batch of 300 electric taxis is slated to arrive in Singapore progressively from July this year. The electrification of the entire taxi fleet is part of SMRT’s growth strategy in green businesses under its urban mobility services arm, Strides Mobility. SP had earlier signed partnerships with the Goldbell Group, Grab and Schneider Electric to support the charging needs of their EV fleets. In recent months, SP announced a partnership with Chevron to install chargers at four Caltex service stations, and added chargers at locations such as Paya Lebar Quarter, Great World City and Orchid Country Club.

Media Release SP Group Launches One Of The World's First Blockchain-Powered Trading Of Renewable Energy Certificates City Developments Limited and DBS Bank on board as first buyers of certificates Enables local and international organisations – regardless of size, business or location - to meet their sustainability targets Singapore, 29 October 2018 - SP Group (SP) launched one of the world’s first blockchain-powered renewable energy certificate (REC) marketplace at the ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF) on Monday, 29 October 2018. In conjunction with the launch, AEBF forum participants saw screenshots of the first purchases by buyers, City Developments Limited (CDL) and DBS Bank (DBS). Designed and built in-house by SP’s team of digital energy experts, this marketplace enables local and international organisations – regardless of size, business or location in the world – to trade in RECs. The unique attributes of blockchain technology will ensure the security, integrity and traceability of each REC transaction. This will drive the greater integration of renewable energy sources on the electricity grid. Launching the marketplace innovation at the opening session of the Forum on Monday 29 October 2018, SP’s Chief Digital Officer, Samuel Tan, said, “Through blockchain technology, we enable companies to trade in renewable energy certificates conveniently, seamlessly and securely, helping them achieve greener business operations and meet their sustainability targets.” The SP REC marketplace supports local, regional and international RECs. It also supports different supply options including types of sellers and renewable energy sources. SP announced that local organisations such as CDL and DBS, who are keen drivers of sustainable solutions, have signed on as REC buyers. Solar developers such as Cleantech Solar Asia and LYS Energy Solutions, with local and regional solar assets, have signed a collaboration with SP to place their solar assets on the marketplace for sale of RECs. Katoen Natie Singapore, a global chemical logistics company who will be launching Singapore’s largest single unit rooftop solar facility at a warehouse, has also come onboard as a REC seller. When companies purchase RECs, they are consuming electricity from renewable sources, sold to them by other companies that produce green energy. With SP’s blockchain-powered marketplace, buyers are automatically matched with sellers, around the globe, according to their preferences. This helps big and small organisations to achieve their green targets and strengthens cross-border sustainability efforts with SP’s international reach. It contributes to Singapore’s low carbon targets, as part of its Paris COP-21 agreement. Annex A Hear from our Partners “As a green advocate for over two decades, CDL has always been committed to embracing technology and solutions that reduce environmental impact.

Media Release Singapore’s First Centralised Power Plant Simulator & Structured Genco Training Programme 1. Workforce training on operations for Singapore’s power generation companies (Gencos) will now be centralised and standardised with the launch of Singapore’s first Centralised Power Plant Simulator (CPPS). 2. Developed by the Singapore Institute of Power and Gas (SIPG) – the Centralised Training Institute for Power and Gas sectors – in partnership with the Energy Market Authority (EMA) and Gencos, the CPPS courses mark the first time that Gencos operating in a competitive environment have come together to collectively design and level training standards for the sector. This ensures a consistent level of training, which plays a critical role in ensuring a secure and stable supply of electricity for Singapore. 3. Six courses integrated with CPPS training have been co-developed by SIPG and Gencos comprising Keppel Merlimau Cogen O&M, PacificLight Power, Sembcorp Cogen, Senoko Energy, Tuas Power and YTL PowerSeraya. Spanning basic to advanced levels, the training programme establishes a consistent standard for skills training, such as in power plant operations, process controls, and management of common equipment alarms and malfunctions in a controlled environment separate from actual day-to-day plant operations, ensuring the safety of participants as well as plant and system reliability. 4. A simulated environment also ensures that the workforce could be trained in scenarios which are rare in the power sector but can lead to plant shutdowns. A unique feature of the CPPS courses is that various Gencos have committed to provide trainers who are industry practitioners, who will be able to impart valuable knowledge and skills to the participants. 5. As part of the launch of the CPPS, SIPG has introduced a structured training programme consisting of two new Power Generation Certificate Programmes with certificates recognised by all Gencos. Certificates will be issued upon the completion of the CPPS courses, as well as other Power Generation courses offered by SIPG. 6. Minister of State (MOS) for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling officiated the launch of the CPPS at SIPG today. In her opening speech, MOS Low commended key industry partners for the strong collaboration to bolster the competency of its workforce. 7. Mr Chia Soo Ping, Principal of SIPG, said: “As the energy landscape continues its dynamic and transformative journey, SIPG is focused on cultivating competencies and technological know-how needed for the industry to keep pace with change. The Gencos’ collaborative and structured approach promotes sharing and adoption of best practices. The Centralised Power Plant Simulator training reaps efficiencies and optimises the pooling of resources and expertise across all Gencos in Singapore to strengthen the overall resilience of the workforce for the energy sector.” 8. On the launch of the CPPS, Ms Violet Chen, EMA’s Industry Ecosystem Development Director, said: “We are heartened by the collective effort of SIPG and Gencos to strengthen the training of its workforce. The Power sector will continue to play a critical role in keeping the lights on and gas flowing for Singapore as we step up efforts to advance Singapore’s energy transition towards a sustainable future.”

THE STRAITS TIMES PUB joins scheme that will reward businesses for lowering electricity usage The new initiative is to reward businesses for lowering their electricity usage as part of efforts to help ease demand for energy on the power grid. PHOTO: PUB Ang Qing UPDATED APR 6, 2023, 8:57 PM SGT SINGAPORE - National water agency PUB will join a new initiative to reward businesses for lowering their electricity usage as part of efforts to help ease demand for energy on the power grid. On Thursday, PUB said it will join the Energy Market Authority’s (EMA) Demand Side Management Sandbox initiative for energy-intensive commercial and industrial firms. This will make it the first government agency to take part in the initiative, which comprises two programmes and runs until January 2025. PUB will partner national grid operator SP Group to participate in both programmes to cut energy usage during peak periods or when supply from renewable energy sources is not consistent. The first is the Demand Response programme, which incentivises companies to reduce their electricity demand voluntarily when wholesale electricity prices spike. The second, the Interruptible Load programme, rewards companies for reducing some electrical load during periods of tight power generation supply. When demand is well managed, said EMA in 2022, businesses and households are expected to benefit, paying lower electricity bills in the long run. PUB chief executive Goh Si Hou said the initiative aligns with the agency’s bid to raise energy efficiency in its operations. This is becoming more important, as more energy-intensive water sources like Newater and desalination are tapped to meet future growth in water demand. He said: “It will provide PUB with greater flexibility in managing energy demand, and allow us to achieve cost savings. At the same time, our participation will support the national effort for energy resilience, and bring system-level benefits to all users.” For a start, the Marina Raw Water Pumping Station at Kallang Basin will participate in the programmes, PUB said on Thursday. Each of the four pumps at the station can transfer 30 million gallons of water daily, and require about 1.3 megawatts of power, or the equivalent of powering about 110 four-room Housing Board flats, said PUB. The station transfers raw water from Marina Reservoir to Upper Peirce Reservoir to maintain optimal water levels in the reservoirs. Its daily energy consumption varies depending on the number of pumps in operation. A deal inked between SP and PUB on Wednesday will ensure that when the electricity load needs to be curtailed, SP will reduce or interrupt demand from its Marina Bay district cooling ice thermal energy storage systems and its partners, including PUB. Once on board, PUB will work closely with SP in the first few months to calibrate the daily operational process. EMA chief executive Ngiam Shih Chun said: “As we transform our energy sector to be more sustainable, it is also important that consumers are empowered to optimise and reduce their electricity consumption, in exchange for a share of the system-wide benefits. We encourage more consumers to come on board the programmes to enjoy these benefits.” Businesses that consume at least 100kW of electricity an hour are eligible for this initiative. The monthly energy consumption of a four-room HDB flat, for instance, is about 360kWh. Businesses will pay a penalty if they under-deliver on the electrical load they promised to reduce. As at the end of March, five buildings have registered for EMA’s Demand Response programme and eight buildings come under its Interruptible Load programme. In October 2022, an EMA spokesman said that if the initiative proves to be successful, it could be made permanent. � E-paper � Facebook � Instagram � Twitter � Youtube � LinkedIn � Podcasts � RSS Feed � Telegram � TikTok About Us Terms & Conditions Need help?
