Media Release SP GROUP SETS UP FIRST ZERO-EMISSION BUILDING POWERED BY GREEN HYDROGEN IN SOUTHEAST ASIA Singapore, 30 October 2019 – SP Group (SP) has established the first zero-emission building in Southeast Asia that is powered by green hydrogen. Located at SP’s training centre at Woodleigh Park, the self-sustaining building is 100% powered with renewable energy via an innovative Hydrogen Energy System and is disconnected from the national electricity grid. Mr Brandon Chia, Head, Centre of Excellence, SP Group said: “Buildings contribute 40 per cent of energy related carbon emissions worldwide 1 . The Hydrogen Energy System provides a safe and compact way of storing green hydrogen which powers the region’s first zero-emission building. We believe this can be a significant contributor toward Singapore’s climate change pledge to cut national emissions intensity by 36 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.” The challenge to achieving zero emission The world in its fight against climate change is using various means to lower carbon emissions. One way is to use renewable energy sources. However, in urban places such as Singapore, due to limited land and inconsistent solar energy, achieving zero emission with 100% renewable energy is extremely challenging. Zero-emission solution An alternative is hydrogen as a green energy source. In the Hydrogen Energy System used by SP, electricity from green sources, such as solar, is used to conduct electrolysis. The hydrogen generated from this process is bonded with special metal alloy powders to form metal hydride, compacted and stored in tanks. When electricity supply is required, the stored hydrogen from the metal hydride tanks is slowly released and converted to electricity via fuel cells. As green energy sources are used for electrolysis, this entire process of converting hydrogen to electricity is 100 per cent green, with zero carbon emission. 1 The buildings and building construction sectors combined are responsible for nearly 40% of total direct and indirect CO2 emissions (International Energy Agency). 1 Safe hydrogen storage While there have been other energy systems using hydrogen as a fuel, the key challenge of hydrogen lies in having a storage solution that is safe for deployment in highly-urbanised areas such as Singapore. The system uses special metal alloy as a storage medium to bond with hydrogen. This allows for the storage of a large volume of hydrogen at a much lower pressure over a long period of time without any deterioration. When electricity is needed, the stored hydrogen is released in a slow and regulated manner, making it safer and more compact to be stored in an urban setting. Encourages greater mix of renewable energy The Hydrogen Energy System can mitigate electricity supply fluctuations and intermittency issues – common shortcomings of renewable energy. When there is surplus renewable energy, it can be stored in the form of hydrogen and converted back to electricity when there is a deficit of renewable energy. This ensures that the grid remains stable even with a greater mix of renewable energy introduced, hence encouraging the use of green energy. SP is working with Marubeni Corporation and Tohoku University on the Hydrogen Energy System with special metal alloy storage tanks from Japan, and to customise and integrate it for use in Singapore. -Ends- 2 About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2013 MONEY B11 One man demonstrated ‘outstanding leadership’ in searching for solutions to the energy sector’s manpower challenges, while an organisation made a sustained effort in promoting energy awareness among youth. Another organisation received special mention for rallying youth around energy causes. The Straits Times speaks to the inaugural winners of the Singapore Energy Award, which honours those who have made transformational changes in the energy sector, and finds out what fuels their passion. Energy Matters A series brought to you by the Energy Market Authority Powered by pure passion SINGAPORE Power’s (SP) senior adviser Quek Poh Huat lays the ground rules at the start of the interview. “This isn’t about me, okay? The Singapore Energy Award belongs to the company. I was just fortunate to be here to oversee all this,” says the 67-year-old, ironically also the inaugural winner of the Individual category of this year’s awards. Mr Quek was appointed a director of SP Ltd in 2001 and became the group chief executive of SP from May 2004. He stepped down in January last year but is still on the frontline of addressing the sector’s manpower crisis. He recently chaired the Power Sector Manpower Taskforce (PSMT) to develop recommendations for building manpower capabilities for Singapore’s power sector. The challenges it highlighted included the ageing technical workforce and the difficulty of attracting and retaining younger Singaporeans (see previous story). “At Singapore Power (SP), the average age of our workers is 43. And as the workforce ages, we need them to be replaced. We also want to ensure know-how is transferred,” he said. “Working in the power sector is not seen as easy. People think that they will have to deal with harsh working conditions – having to be in substations and being on the ground. “But these conditions aren’t always harsh. We also need to make people understand the opportunities.” Mr Quek is no stranger to challenging situations. When SP introduced integrated billing for power, water and waste removal over 2000 and 2001, a computer glitch meant some households did not receive a bill for a year, then got them all at once. “It took 12 months to correct the faults,” he recalls. “We had to work out instalment schemes. I even went to Parliament to explain to the MPs how to trickle down the information to their concerned constituents.” Mr Quek was also under heat when, in 2004, the country experienced two outages. The first, in April, lasted 59 minutes and knocked out electricity supply to about 80,000 homes. The second, in June, left 30 per cent of the island in the dark for close to two hours. “Since then, most of the outages have been minor. Touch wood!” he says. Despite being in the sector just nine years, Mr Quek’s list of contributions to it is long. Under his watch, SP has become one of the largest energy utility companies in the Asia Pacific with revenues of $8.97 billion in financial year 2012/2013. He has also been developing capabilities within the industry and addressing the sector’s talent crunch through a variety of measures, including cultivating a close relationship with the unions. His efforts earned him the NTUC May Day Award – Medal of Commendation (Gold) in May last year. Mr RKS Nachiappan, general-secretary of the Union of Power & Gas Employees, says Mr Quek put in place more frequent meetings – both formal and casual – to understand the challenges and issues. “He has a real soft spot for the low-income group, and knows training is the best way to help make their lives better,” Mr Nachiappan adds. In 2010, Mr Quek was heavily involved in implementing an industry-wide Work Skills Qualification (WSQ) System and even before re-employment of older workers was legislated, SP put such a scheme in place. Mr Quek also lent his support to bond-free scholarships for power workers and mooted the idea of the Singapore Power Heartware Fund to help the needy elderly in our community. “The three most important ENERGY WARRIORS Singapore Power’s senior adviser Quek Poh Huat with a mural of the Singapore night skyline behind him at the SP offices. The 67-year-old is the inaugural winner of the Individual category of the Singapore Energy Award. PHOTO: EDWARD TEO FOR THE STRAITS TIMES things in my life are family, friends and faith. I follow that when dealing with the union, staff, new recruits and retirees. We are a family, Singapore Power,” Mr Quek says. Now retired, Mr Quek’s focus will be on the Singapore Power Training Institute (SPTI). It currently conducts about 200 training sessions under 70 programmes annually covering areas such as electricity and gas network operations, business continuity management, and safety and power quality. His plan is to retain the expertise present in the industry by inviting retired power workers back to teach. He also sees room for Singapore to share what it knows with the region. “Singapore has invested so much and learnt hard lessons developing its know-how. This can A LOVE for Lego was what drew 22-year-old Rochelle Hung to the National University of Singapore’s student organisation Energy Carta. Earlier this year, Energy Carta organised an event called Changing the Game, which visualised energy usage through the use of Lego bricks. Ms Hung, a major in Project and Facility Management at NUS’ School of Design and Environment (SDE), heard about it through a department e-mail blast. A long-time lover of Lego, she signed up. “I was determined to understand more about the energy field, especially sustainability, and be able to plan the future that I want to be in, that is, one with smart and sustainable buildings,” she recalls. Ms Hung eventually became one of the student leaders of Energy Carta, which has earned a Special Mention Award in the Organisation category of the inaugural Singapore Energy Award. Energy Carta, which draws part of its name from the ancient historical document Magna Carta, or Latin for “great charter”, was founded by 30-year-old NUS alumnus Yujun Chean in 2008. The then final-year engineering student had been working with a Silicon Valley start-up and attending classes at Stanford University under a year-long NUS student programme, when he saw former US vice-president Al Gore deliver a landmark speech ahead of the screening of his documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Separately, he also attended a conference by a now-defunct Stanford organisation that convinced him students could make a difference. Back at NUS, it dawned on him that he could do something similar. “I penned down names of prominent individuals within the be packaged and exported,” he says. Also a priority is to ensure that Singapore continues “keeping the lights on”. Singaporeans experience an average of just 25 seconds of outage a year. “And there is just a 0.01 per cent chance of a blackout. That’s the best in the world,” he says, beaming. It is a long way to have come for a man who remembers running through back lanes barefoot, electric trams in Orchard Road and calling it a night when daylight ended. “The next 20 years will also be dramatically different from how it is now,” he said, adding that the priority is finding the people who can keep things humming while also handling areas like electric cars and smart grids. “We cannot afford to fail.” Senoko is on the cutting edge of various energy innovations, including adopting and testing electric vehicles.

Energy Carta has raised more than $170,000 in sponsorships from corporations such as PowerSeraya, Chevron, Sembcorp, Singapore Airlines and UOL. PHOTO: YUJUN CHEAN, ENERGY CARTA clean-tech world,” he recalls. “I also tried to get my friends excited about creating a student-run conference as a final year project.” In the end, an event he thought would simply allow him to “leave school with a bang” ended up having a much greater impact. First, Professor Chou Siaw Kiang, executive director of the NUS Energy Studies Institute, encouraged him not to set up the organisation as a Stanford offshoot but as an independent Singapore-rooted organisation. Then, the Economic Development Board (EDB) threw in its support and the Energy Market Authority (EMA) agreed to make Energy Carta its youth partner at the inaugural Singapore International Energy Week in 2008. “This gave us a lot of credibility when we were pitching for support, speakers and funding, and accelerated our growth curve,” says Mr Chean. What resulted was the Asian Youth Energy Summit in 2008, which became the largest student-led energy conference in Singapore, attracting over 500 participants and featuring 30 industry speakers. The following year, Energy Carta added the Chevron Case Challenge, where 97 teams vied to develop the best 20-year energy plan for a fictional city. A year later, the winner of the Singapore round of the Cleantech Open Global Ideas Competition was flown to the United States for the global leg of the competition. Energy Carta has raised more than $170,000 in sponsorships from corporations such as PowerSeraya, Chevron, Sembcorp, Singapore Airlines and UOL. “These funds have enabled us to organise large-scale events, reaching well over a thousand participants,” says Mr Chean. “The belief is that while most people may not be intrinsically keen to solve climate change, they may indirectly do so by building a career in the sector, and Energy Carta aims to get them started on that path,” he explains. Senoko’s activities to engage the young IT IS a Saturday but one of Senoko Energy’s vice-presidents is at Woodgrove Secondary School helping staff to develop an education module for next year and exploring how the school can become more energy-efficient. Woodgrove Secondary is one of 18 schools that has been adopted by Singapore’s largest power generation company as part of the NEA Corporate and School Partnership Programme (Casp). Senoko offers the schools training attachments, plant tours and project sponsorship among other things, and Mr Kwong Kok Chan has made it his personal mission to work with them. “When I first started in 2004, I saw it as just part of my job. Now I can’t differentiate between work and personal interest,” says the 60-year-old, an engineering graduate from the University of Malaya. “The students treat me like an uncle, and I’ve also learnt from the way they see things. One Admiralty student even challenged me, asking why Singapore didn’t harness electricity from lightning. I had no idea what to say!” It is people like Mr Kwong that Senoko Energy president and chief executive officer Brendan Wauters credit for the company’s win in the Organisation category of the inaugural Singapore Energy Awards. “The award reflects the continued and consistent efforts we have put in over the past decade,” he says. “A lot of people like Mr Kwong are instrumental to what we have done. Mr Kwong loves to interact with students and their teachers. His passion is infectious.” But Casp is only one of many community outreach activities undertaken by Senoko, the only power generation company located in the north of Singapore. “Being in the north, we are closer to residential areas, so it important that we have a relationship with our neighbouring communities,” explains Mr Wauters. Senoko has also partnered with the PUB to adopt Sungei Sembawang and help make young people aware of the need for water conservation. In 2012, the company launched the Senoko Sustainability Challenge, which challenged students from primary schools to junior colleges to come up with solutions to environmental problems. “It aims to create awareness of the importance of sustainability in general and climate change in particular among the younger generation, who are ultimately the ones who can impact future outcomes the most,” says Mr Wauters. A total of 120 teams from 52 schools participated this year. Senoko, which started in 1975, has, through the years, delivered several firsts. In 1991, it became the first power generation company to import natural gas into Singapore from Malaysia. It was a landmark moment, representing the nation’s first step away from liquid fuel. Senoko was also the first to use combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) technology in 1995. Being able to fire with either natural gas or fuel oil or a mix of both translated into about 10 per cent in energy efficiency gains and cleaner emissions. Senoko was also the first company to take the 3R principles of reduce, reuse and recycle to a new level: Its “repowering” approach so far has resulted in a more than 40 per cent drop in carbon intensity over 1990 levels. Senoko is still on the cutting edge of other innovations, including adopting and testing electric vehicles. “Power companies are often seen as part of the problem in terms of the environment, but in Singapore, we can say we have become part of the solution,” says Mr Wauters.

Penta-Ocean Construction, which was awarded the latest contract in October, started work last month on the 5.2 km JI-Pioneer (Road) cable tunnel under the West Jurong Channel, Singapore Power disclosed in its just-released 2012/13 annual report. No project cost was mentioned because of contractual reasons. “Cost-wise, it is a fraction of the $2 billion mainland tunnel project. But the undersea tunnel is not a small project, and it is also more challenging as it goes deeper,” said SP’s CEO, Wong Kim Yin, in an interview. Expected to be around 45 metres to 80 metres deep, the undersea cable tunnel is “planned in conjunction with the (next-generation) 400kV West Jurong Island substation and will accommodate up to 10 circuits” from JI to the mainland, SP added. It will also house Singapore’s next-generation 400 kV transmission cables (replacing current 230kV ones) which have greater capacity to handle the volume of electricity being generated and transmitted here. SP had earlier carried out both preliminary and detailed soil investigations, as the tunnel will be built through Jurong sedimentary formation. The undersea cable tunnel is scheduled for completion by 2018, in time to handle the substantial increase in transmission load from JI, which is seeing new plantings by gencos including Keppel Merlimau Cogen, Sembcorp Cogen, Tuas Power’s multi-utilities complex and newcomer PacificLight Power. “By 2019, transmission load in south-western Singapore is expected to increase by 62.5 per cent,” SP said, explaining the need to expand the transmission cable network in that area, which includes Jurong Island and Tuas (where the new port will also be built).

Comprising two ultra-deep, extra-high voltage power transmission tunnels running 16.5 km east-west and 18.5 km north-south, the tunnels are expected to be completed in Q2, 2017 and Q2, 2018 respectively. Tunnelling proper of the two is set to start early next year, following the completion of the upper and lower access shafts this year. In its annual report, SP said that it is leveraging cutting-edge technology and investing in network infrastructure to support key industries and economic and social developments. For instance, it said that to cater for future growth and development of petrochemical industries on JI, development of Tembusu 230kV and 400kV West Jurong Island substations is progressing. Rangoon 400kV substation is also set to be completed by this year-end to cater to power demand growth in central Singapore.

SP had earlier carried out both preliminary and detailed soil investigations, as the tunnel will be built through Jurong sedimentary formation. The undersea cable tunnel is scheduled for completion by 2018, in time to handle the substantial increase in transmission load from JI, which is seeing new plantings by gencos including Keppel Merlimau Cogen, Sembcorp Cogen, Tuas Power’s multi-utilities complex and newcomer PacificLight Power. “By 2019, transmission load in south-western Singapore is expected to increase by 62.5 per cent,” SP said, explaining the need to expand the transmission cable network in that area, which includes Jurong Island and Tuas (where the new port will also be built).

Tunnelling proper of the two is set to start early next year, following the completion of the upper and lower access shafts this year. In its annual report, SP said that it is leveraging cutting-edge technology and investing in network infrastructure to support key industries and economic and social developments. For instance, it said that to cater for future growth and development of petrochemical industries on JI, development of Tembusu 230kV and 400kV West Jurong Island substations is progressing. Rangoon 400kV substation is also set to be completed by this year-end to cater to power demand growth in central Singapore.

Penta-Ocean Construction, which was awarded the latest contract in October, started work last month on the 5.2 km JI-Pioneer (Road) cable tunnel under the West Jurong Channel, Singapore Power disclosed in its just-released 2012/13 annual report. No project cost was mentioned because of contractual reasons. “Cost-wise, it is a fraction of the $2 billion mainland tunnel project. But the undersea tunnel is not a small project, and it is also more challenging as it goes deeper,” said SP’s CEO, Wong Kim Yin, in an interview. Expected to be around 45 metres to 80 metres deep, the undersea cable tunnel is “planned in conjunction with the (next-generation) 400kV West Jurong Island substation and will accommodate up to 10 circuits” from JI to the mainland, SP added. It will also house Singapore’s next-generation 400 kV transmission cables (replacing current 230kV ones) which have greater capacity to handle the volume of electricity being generated and transmitted here. SP had earlier carried out both preliminary and detailed soil investigations, as the tunnel will be built through Jurong sedimentary formation. The undersea cable tunnel is scheduled for completion by 2018, in time to handle the substantial increase in transmission load from JI, which is seeing new plantings by gencos including Keppel Merlimau Cogen, Sembcorp Cogen, Tuas Power’s multi-utilities complex and newcomer PacificLight Power. “By 2019, transmission load in south-western Singapore is expected to increase by 62.5 per cent,” SP said, explaining the need to expand the transmission cable network in that area, which includes Jurong Island and Tuas (where the new port will also be built). Timing-wise, it will also tie in with the expected completion of the mega $2 billion cross-island tunnel The undersea cable tunnel is scheduled for completion by 2018, in time to handle the substantial increase in transmission load from JI, which is seeing new plantings. project on the mainland. Comprising two ultra-deep, extra-high voltage power transmission tunnels running 16.5 km east-west and 18.5 km north-south, the tunnels are expected to be completed in Q2, 2017 and Q2, 2018 respectively. Tunnelling proper of the two is set to start early next year, following the completion of the upper and lower access shafts this year. In its annual report, SP said that it is leveraging cutting-edge technology and investing in network infrastructure to support key industries and economic and social developments. For instance, it said that to cater for future growth and development of petrochemical industries on JI, development of Tembusu 230kV and 400kV West Jurong Island substations is progressing. Rangoon 400kV substation is also set to be completed by this year-end to cater to power demand growth in central Singapore.

Penta-Ocean Construction, which was awarded the latest contract in October, started work last month on the 5.2 km JI-Pioneer (Road) cable tunnel under the West Jurong Channel, Singapore Power disclosed in its just-released 2012/13 annual report. No project cost was mentioned because of contractual reasons. “Cost-wise, it is a fraction of the $2 billion mainland tunnel project. But the undersea tunnel is not a small project, and it is also more challenging as it goes deeper,” said SP’s CEO, Wong Kim Yin, in an interview. Expected to be around 45 metres to 80 metres deep, the undersea cable tunnel is “planned in conjunction with the (next-generation) 400kV West Jurong Island substation and will accommodate up to 10 circuits” from JI to the mainland, SP added. It will also house Singapore’s next-generation 400 kV transmission cables (replacing current 230kV ones) which have greater capacity to handle the volume of electricity being generated and transmitted here. SP had earlier carried out both preliminary and detailed soil investigations, as the tunnel will be built through Jurong sedimentary formation. The undersea cable tunnel is scheduled for completion by 2018, in time to handle the substantial increase in transmission load from JI, which is seeing new plantings by gencos including Keppel Merlimau Cogen, Sembcorp Cogen, Tuas Power’s multi-utilities complex and newcomer PacificLight Power. “By 2019, transmission load in south-western Singapore is expected to increase by 62.5 per cent,” SP said, explaining the need to expand the transmission cable network in that area, which includes Jurong Island and Tuas (where the new port will also be built). Timing-wise, it will also tie in with the expected completion of the mega $2 billion cross-island tunnel The undersea cable tunnel is scheduled for completion by 2018, in time to handle the substantial increase in transmission load from JI, which is seeing new plantings. project on the mainland. Comprising two ultra-deep, extra-high voltage power transmission tunnels running 16.5 km east-west and 18.5 km north-south, the tunnels are expected to be completed in Q2, 2017 and Q2, 2018 respectively. Tunnelling proper of the two is set to start early next year, following the completion of the upper and lower access shafts this year. In its annual report, SP said that it is leveraging cutting-edge technology and investing in network infrastructure to support key industries and economic and social developments. For instance, it said that to cater for future growth and development of petrochemical industries on JI, development of Tembusu 230kV and 400kV West Jurong Island substations is progressing. Rangoon 400kV substation is also set to be completed by this year-end to cater to power demand growth in central Singapore.

News Release JTC AND SP GROUP TO DEVELOP AND OPERATE SINGAPORE’S FIRST SMART GRID FOR BUSINESS PARKS AT PUNGGOL DIGITAL DISTRICT Partnership will help the District optimise energy consumption, reduce carbon footprint and save cost for businesses and consumers Singapore, 31 October 2018 – A Smart Grid system that provides green energy and increases energy efficiency will serve businesses and consumers in the upcoming Punggol Digital District (PDD). JTC and SP Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the Smart Grid at the Asia Clean Energy Summit 2018 today, witnessed by Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Masagos Zulkifli. This partnership will drive the design of smart energy solutions comprising the areas of renewable energy and electric mobility, that will be integrated with the Open Digital Platform in the District, announced in July this year. 2. Under the MoU, JTC and SP Group will develop and implement a Smart Grid within PDD. Companies in PDD can look forward to adopting clean sources of energy, such as solar energy generated from building roofs, and take advantage of new technologies, such as electric vehicle charging and smart metering. Through the Smart Grid, about 1,700 tonnes of carbon emissions could be reduced per year, equivalent to taking 270 cars off the road. 3. The Smart Grid will be integrated with the Open Digital Platform, allowing communication and interaction with other building systems in the District, such as the District Cooling System (DCS) and the Building Management System (BMS). For instance, on a hot sunny day, the Smart Grid will register an increase in electricity consumption as the air conditioning systems consume more energy to maintain the temperature in the building. It automatically sends a signal to the Open Digital Platform, which detects the specific rooms where the temperature has increased. The Open Digital Platform then activates the Building Management System within the building to lower the blinds in those rooms, reducing heat gain and conserving energy. 1 4. JTC’s Assistant Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David Tan, said, “Beyond utilities and technologies, it is about giving the community the data and tools to make informed decisions about their energy consumption, be it adopting clean sources of energy or optimising usage to reduce costs. Aggregated data on energy consumption from the Smart Grid will be made available for academics, researchers, start-ups and enterprises to encourage innovation in the domains of clean energy and energy management.” 5. Mr Goh Chee Kiong, Head, Strategic Development of SP Group said, “SP Group is committed to design and implement smart energy solutions, driven by our deep energy integration and digital capabilities. We are pleased to work with JTC to help businesses in the Punggol Digital District save cost and go green through our innovative smart grid.” 6. At the forefront of Singapore’s Smart Nation push, PDD is envisioned to be a vibrant and inclusive district where cutting-edge technology and social innovation transform the way we work, live, learn and play in the future. PDD will house key growth sectors such as digital and cybersecurity, and will also be the first district in Singapore to be fully integrated with Internet of Things systems from the ground up. This infrastructure will create conducive testbed environments for businesses and entrepreneurs, allowing them to thrive in a digital economy, while the enhanced experience brought about by the digitalisation will provide a sustainable and connected environment for the community. The first buildings in District are expected to be completed by 2023. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 About JTC Set up in 1968, JTC is the lead government agency responsible for the planning and development of industrial infrastructure to support and catalyse the growth of industries and enterprises in Singapore.

MEDIA RELEASE SP Group recognised with three Community Chest Awards SP scaled up giving, expanded programmes to benefit seniors, children and youth SP Group CEO Mr Stanley Huang received the Charity Platinum Award from President Halimah Yacob. Singapore, 1 November 2022 – At the Community Chest Awards 2022, SP Group (SP) was recognised with three awards for its sustained philanthropy, strong volunteerism culture and community engagement. Group Chief Executive Officer Stanley Huang received SP’s Charity Platinum Award, Enabler Award, and Volunteer Partner Award at the event presided by President Halimah Yacob on 1 November 2022 at the Istana. Working closely with Community Chest has enabled SP to effectively identify needs, collaborate with social service agencies and create sustained impact to help vulnerable groups. Mr Huang said, “SP is honoured to receive this recognition from Community Chest. Despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic, we scaled up our efforts to fulfil long-standing commitments and set up new programmes to benefit a wider range of social service users, from seniors, to children and youth.” Mr Huang paid tribute to SP’s staff, business associates and the public for enabling its programmes to grow from strength to strength over the years. Last year, SP’s contributions totalled S$4.5 million in donations, sponsorships and volunteer manpower. These include maintaining support for 21,000 seniors through the SP Heartware Fund, which has raised more than S$18 million since it was established in 2005. In addition, SP also committed S$1.1 million this year to see through a five-fold increase in its annual Power Packs initiative, enabling 10,000 lower-income families to receive daily essential items. In widening the scope of its programmes across the age spectrum, SP launched SP Kids at Heart, donating S$2.1 million over the past two years to support 5,000 children under KidSTART with learning tools, including digital devices for home-based learning and early literacy development. 1 SP also extended its reach to youth from vulnerable backgrounds by launching the inaugural SP Group Engineering Study Awards this year with a contribution of S$1.35 million to the Institute of Technical Education (ITE). This will benefit 450 ITE students from lower-income families over the next three years. Through this study award, SP aims to aid aspiring engineers in securing better academic and employment opportunities. In amplifying fundraising efforts for the SP Heartware Fund, SP enables its customers and business associates to donate to Community Chest through the SP app and donation appeals in its utilities bills. SP also matches dollar-for-dollar donations made by its staff to the Fund, and underwrites all fund-raising and operational costs of the Fund and its programmes, so that all donations will go fully to the social service organisations. Staff volunteers, known as SP Heart Workers, organise outreach activities for social service users throughout the year. These include befriending activities at Senior Activity Centres, helping seniors with their grocery runs, conducting digital clinics and more. At the height of the pandemic, SP Heart Workers also partnered FairPrice to bring a mobile supermarket to the doorstep of seniors. SP’s staff have also been part of national-level efforts to provide pandemic relief to the public, including the manning of hotlines for Temasek Foundation’s Stay Prepared programme and Ministry of Health’s home recovery scheme. Mr Huang explained, “Over the years, we have developed a strong culture of volunteerism amongst our team members. This shared purpose of pursuing a common good unifies our people, fosters team-building and cultivates the spirit of giving.” SP Group has received the Charity Platinum Award and Volunteer Partner awards in past editions of the Community Chest Awards, held annually to honour organisations and individuals in Singapore who have made outstanding contributions to the social service sector to care for the less fortunate in the community. - Ends - About SP Group SP Group is a leading utilities group in the Asia Pacific, empowering the future of energy with low-carbon, smart energy solutions for its customers.
