News Release SP Group Partners Frasers Property Vietnam To Bring Integrated Smart, Clean Energy Solutions To Binh Duong Industrial Park Strategic partnership will elevate sustainable industrial real estate in Vietnam Smart and clean energy initiatives will benefit industrial tenants of Binh Duong Industrial Park with greater power reliability and resilience, lower operating costs and reduced carbon footprint Ho Chi Minh & Singapore, 24 August 2023 – SP Group (SP), A leading energy utilities group and sustainable energy solutions provider in Singapore and Asia Pacific and Frasers Property Vietnam (FPV), one of Vietnam’s leading diversified property developers, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop and implement integrated smart energy solutions at FPV’s Binh Duong Industrial Park (BDIP). This partnership will help the industrial park accelerate the adoption of green energy solutions, enable energy savings and carbon emissions reduction for all tenants. In the initial phase, SP will design, invest, install, operate, and maintain integrated smart energy solutions for BDIP’s Industrial Service Centre (ISC). This includes the installation of solar photovoltaics for renewable energy, digital building solutions, electric vehicle charging, and smart energy optimisation and management systems. Subsequently, SP and FPV will collaborate on a feasibility study to implement a green micro-grid for BDIP that will accelerate the clean energy transition for the industrial park, facilitate access to renewable energy and will provide greater power reliability and resilience for tenants. The 837sqm ISC will cater to the business and social requirements of all BDIP tenants with shared facilities including meeting rooms, outdoor sport & recreational facilities, F&B options, and open green spaces. To regulate the ISC’s indoor environment balancing energy efficiency with users’ thermal comfort and wellbeing, SP will deploy its suite of smart building energy management solutions – Green Energy Tech (GETTM). A key innovative solution is GETTM Control, a self-learning building intelligence system that utilises artificial intelligence (A.I.) and Internet of Things (IoT) to optimise and regulate air-conditioning based on changes in occupancy and ambient weather conditions. Expected to potentially save up to 30 per cent on cooling energy and reduce carbon emissions by close to 18 per cent, the micro-climate control system utilises sensors and smart dampers to ensure cool air is sent to where it is needed. This enhances the well-being and thermal comfort for occupants while maximising energy and operational efficiency. Mr. Brandon Chia, Managing Director, Sustainability Energy Solutions, Southeast Asia and Australia, SP Group, said, "Our collaboration with Frasers Property Vietnam underscores our goal of empowering the sustainability ambitions of industrial parks and contributing to the net-zero targets of Vietnam. Through our bespoke and integrated system of smart and sustainable energy solutions, industrial parks can seamlessly harness renewable energy sources and transition to energy-efficient operations that will enhance cost savings, carbon emission reductions, and promote productivity." Leading the MoU signing ceremony on behalf of Frasers Property, Mr. Lim Hua Tiong, CEO of Frasers Property Vietnam, said: “As a multinational real estate developer, we take a long-term view for all our projects. We want to create buildings that are durable, adaptable, and resilient to the changing environment and needs of our customers. That is why we have applied our expertise in design and masterplanning to our first industrial showcase in Vietnam, Binh Duong Industrial Park. By partnering with SP, we are adopting industry-leading energy management practices to further improve the energy efficiency and sustainability credentials of our properties.” Also present at the signing ceremony was Frasers Property’s Group Head of Sustainability, Mr. Paolo Bevilacqua, who shared: “It is heartening to see the overall efforts we are making in adopting renewable energy sources for powering our properties, which is critical if we are to decarbonise to achieve our vision of sustainable real estate. This partnership between like-minded organisations demonstrates how our net-zero carbon goal can bring tangible benefits to tenants and customers with lower operational costs and a reduced carbon footprint.” Located in one of Vietnam’s key southern economic hubs in Binh Duong province, BDIP is FPV’s first industrial park development in Vietnam well served by National Route 13 and connected to major seaports and airports in the region. BDIP sits on more than 106 hectares of land, providing high quality industrial facilities built to international standards. The industrial park is amongst one of few developments in Vietnam to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified, which accredits for healthy, efficient, carbon and cost-saving green buildings. BDIP is appealing to sustainability-minded tenants, with Phase 1 now at over 90 per cent occupancy. The next development phase for BDIP is now open for pre-committed tenants in both ready-built and built-to-suit configurations.

[20140506] The Straits Times - Emergency Starter Kits For All Householdshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/eb3ee954-8152-49e2-8916-7d0bd0cb3fb3/%5B20140506%5D+The+Straits+Times+-+Emergency+Starter+Kits+For+All+Households.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
Emergency starter kits for all households By AUDREY TAN ALL households in Singapore will get three N95 masks delivered free to their homes from today, in the largest mask distribution exercise to date. They are part of an emergency starter kit which will be delivered to all 1.2 million households by Monday, said Temasek Cares yesterday. The non-profit, philanthropic arm of Temasek Holdings is partnering Singapore Power and Singapore Post for the $4 million programme. Aside from the 3M-manufactured masks, the kit will also contain information on how to wear the masks and emergency contact numbers. Temasek Cares chairman Richard Magnus said the programme hopes to spur Singaporeans into thinking about emergency preparedness. “The starter kit includes three N95 masks so that each household can have an initial stock in case of a flu pandemic or severe haze,” he said. “We hope (the kits) will prompt individuals and families to develop their own emergency plans.” Households with more than three people could consider buying more N95 masks, or bulk up their emergency “grab bags” by including medication or vitamins required by members of the family, Mr Magnus said. Being prepared could also mitigate the problem of people rushing to buy products, such as masks, during emergencies. Mr Magnus added: “Before the emergency arises, they would have already taken action so they are prepared – just like having an umbrella for a rainy day.” The starter kit initiative is the The emergency starter kit distribution exercise was symbolically flagged off yesterday at the Singapore Power training institute. Present were (from left, by the van) Singapore Power chairman Mohd Hassan Marican, Temasek Cares chairman Richard Magnus, Singapore Post’s executive vice-president and head of postal services Woo Keng Leong, and 3M Singapore’s general manager of safety and graphics group Helen Foo, and Singapore Power and Singapore Post staff. The distribution exercise starts today. PHOTO: LIM YAOHUI FOR THE STRAITS TIMES second project to tap the $40 million Temasek Emergency Preparedness Fund launched in March. The first is a $1.5 million programme to train 60 social workers, therapists and school counsellors in trauma-focused therapy for children. The fund, administered by Temasek Cares under its Stay Prepared initiative, aims to help Singaporeans build up community resources to deal with emergencies. On top of the starter kits for households, 17,000 kits will go to 144 charities including the Metta Home for the Disabled and The Salvation Army Gracehaven. Another 300,000 will be on standby for needy families in case of a crisis. The mask distribution exercise is the largest to date. At the peak of the haze in June last year, one million N95 masks were earmarked for 200,000 of the poorest households and vulnerable Singaporeans. During the epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) in 2003, two surgical masks and a thermometer were distributed to 1.1 million households. Communications officer Jaclyn Sim, 31, said organisers could consider giving masks only to low-income households as those who earn more “can easily get their own”. “To get Singaporeans thinking, a brochure with graphics depicting different emergency scenarios may be better,” she added. audreyt@sph.com.sg N95 masks can be stored for five years THE N95 masks that went on sale during the haze period last year can still be used as they have a shelf life of five years. But Ms Foo Meow Ling, a nurse clinician at the infection control unit at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, said there should be “no air leakage around the face when the wearer exhales”. Ms Helen Foo, general manager at mask manufacturer and technology firm 3M, said: “After five years, the nose clip and elastic headband may loosen or disintegrate, leading to a poor face seal and affecting the effectiveness.” The masks should also be changed when “the wearer finds it hard to breathe, or when it is soiled or physically damaged”, she added. The N95 mask is “at least 95 per cent efficient against fine particles that are about 0.1 to 0.3 microns” in size, according to the Health Ministry’s website. It is 99.5 per cent efficient against larger particles, such as those 0.75 microns and above. This makes it effective for use against the PM2.5 particle, an air pollutant associated with vehicle emissions and the haze that is less than 2.5 microns in size. Masks should also be stored in their original packaging and in cool and dry conditions, said 3M’s Ms Foo. AUDREY TAN
SP Group To Build Singapore's Largest Public Electric Vehicle Charging Networkhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-To-Build-Singapore-s-Largest-Public-Electric-Vehicle-Charging-Network
Media Release SP Group To Build Singapore's Largest Public Electric Vehicle Charging Network 500 publicly accessible charging points at convenient locations across Singapore by 2020 • SP announces two tenders for the charging hardware and installation. First batch of 30 charging points to be in operation later this year Singapore, 19 June 2018 – In a boost for electric vehicle adoption in Singapore, SP Group (SP) has announced plans to launch Singapore’s largest public electric vehicle charging network, with 500 charging points nation-wide by 2020. EV users can conveniently access the charging points at locations such as shopping malls, residential areas, business parks and industrial sites. The first batch of 30 charging points will be in operation by end 2018. SP also announced the launch of two tenders for the electric vehicle charging network. The tenders are for the procurement of charging hardware for both AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) chargers, and for the installation of the chargers. Singapore is regarded as an ideal environment for EVs as it is highly urbanised and compact. This pervasive charging network will plug a critical gap in scaling up EV adoption in Singapore by reducing range anxiety in EV drivers. To ensure that the charging network is accessible and convenient for public usage, SP is developing a mobile app that will allow EV users to make payment electronically and receive real-time information such as the location and availability of charging points, and automated updates on charging duration. “SP Group is committed to delivering a high-quality, sustainable lifestyle for our customers. Our nation-wide electric vehicle charging network will encourage greater adoption of green mobility, and support Singapore’s sustainability goals,” said Mr Wong Kim Yin, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group. The island-wide network will be fully compliant with Singapore’s national charging standards and comprise both AC and DC chargers, with power ratings ranging from 22kW to 50kW. Of the 500 charging points, more than 100 will be 50kW-DC charging points, a fast charge technology that can fully charge an EV in as little as 30 minutes. This network will significantly boost the number of DC chargers in Singapore which has fewer than five DC chargers today. Compared to vehicles with an internal combustion engine (ICE), EVs offer lower operating costs in terms of energy and maintenance, and a cleaner ride with zero tailpipe emissions. Each EV is able to about halve the carbon emissions from a comparable ICE car after factoring in Singapore’s power generation profile, thereby contributing to Singapore’s climate change mitigation commitments. The quieter EVs also contribute to reducing noise pollution. SP Group’s electric vehicle journey commenced back in 2016, when it started to convert its entire vehicle fleet to electric vehicles. This involved the development of capabilities to operate an internal charging network that will now be scaled up for the roll out of a nation-wide public charging network in Singapore. Parties interested to have SP install chargers at their premises can contact SP Group at emobility@spgroup.com.sg. About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific. It owns and operates electricity and gas transmission and distribution businesses in Singapore and Australia, and district cooling businesses in Singapore and China.

Bringing Distributed District Cooling to Our Town Centres - A Cool Solution for a Greener SIngaporehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Bringing-Distributed-District-Cooling-to-Our-Town-Centres---A-Cool-Solution-for-a-Greener-SIngapore
News Release Bringing Distributed District Cooling to Our Town Centres - A Cool Solution for a Greener SIngapore Feasibility study at Tampines Central demonstrates 17 percent savings in electricity consumption, 18 percent reduction in carbon emissions, and monetary benefits for existing buildings while providing cool comfort Letter of Intent signed with existing building owners – CapitaLand, Frasers Property, OCBC Bank, People’s Association and UOB, bringing Tampines one step closer to its Eco Town ambitions Singapore, 19 August 2021 – An interconnected, centralised cooling system across Tampines Central could achieve energy savings and reductions in carbon emissions to support Tampines’ green ambitions to transform into an Eco Town by 2025, according to a white paper study on the feasibility of brownfield distributed district cooling. The study, by Temasek and SP Group (SP), was supported by the Tampines Group Representation Constituency (GRC) and the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE). Fourteen existing buildings within the Tampines Central Area were involved in the study, representing a range of various uses, including retail malls, commercial and public offices, data centres, and a community sports hub. According to findings outlined in the white paper, consolidating the cooling loads of the 14 buildings under a distributed district cooling (DDC) network would result in: 17% lower energy consumption – enough to power 1,665 three-room HDB households for a year; An 18% reduction in carbon emissions, from both energy savings and refrigerant reduction – equivalent to removing 2,250 cars from roads annually; and S$4.3 million annually from energy savings, reduction in equipment replacement and maintenance costs and potential earnings from freeing up chiller plant space, which can be converted into retail or office space. In a signing ceremony witnessed by Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Adviser to Tampines GROs, Minister for Social and Family Development, Second Minister for Health and Minister-in- charge of Muslim Affairs, at Our Tampines Hub earlier this afternoon, property owners CapitaLand, Frasers Property, OCBC Bank, People’s Association and UOB have each signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with SP to affirm their interest in subscribing to this sustainable cooling solution. These building owners were part of the white paper study and are the existing owners of Tampines Mall, Telepark, Century Square, Tampines 1, OCBC Tampines Centre Two, Our Tampines Hub and UOB Tampines Centre respectively. The commitment of these building owners brings the DDC network one step closer to materialisation in Tampines. Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Adviser to Tampines GROs, Minister for Social and Family Development, Second Minister for Health and Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs said: “Sustainable towns and districts are essential for Singapore to meet our sustainability goals under the Singapore Green Plan 2030. The results from the feasibility study at Tampines Central look promising. I am hopeful that the adoption of this green cooling solution will bring Tampines closer to our ambition to be an Eco Town by 2025 and pave the way for district cooling to be explored across other towns and built-up areas.” “A more efficient way to cool buildings would cut down on energy, carbon and cut costs. Temasek is delighted to partner SP Group to study the feasibility of a novel distributed district cooling concept for brownfield developments which could provide cities worldwide with a proof-of-concept for a more sustainable way to cool buildings,” said Dr Steve Howard, Chief Sustainability Officer, Temasek. SP’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr Stanley Huang, said, “In Singapore’s highly urbanised landscape, it is necessary to innovate and deploy sustainable solutions to existing infrastructure. This white paper illustrates the potential of district cooling as a core solution to empower existing townships to go green, demonstrating its potential to support Tampines’ Eco Town ambitions. Tampines residents can enjoy the same sustainable and reliable cooling comfort, similar to our district cooling solution at Marina Bay. Through a  widespread adoption of distributed district cooling, building owners of mature developments can reap significant energy savings and contribute to our national decarbonisation efforts, without any compromise in the comfort for users.” Ms Amy Hing, 1 Deputy Secretary, MSE, said: “This study explores an innovative district cooling solution in a brownfield site that can potentially enhance energy efficiency and lower the carbon footprint. We hope that the insights gained from the study will encourage more ideas and collaboration on innovative district-level solutions that contribute to the Singapore Green Plan 2030.” The hot issue of keeping cool In Singapore’s tropical climate, air conditioning is widely used to provide cool comfort. However, air conditioners consume a lot of electricity, which itself can be up to 50 per cent of a building’s total consumption. Air conditioners also contain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) that trap heat – making them potent greenhouse gases. In addition, the usage of air conditioners tends to lead to warmer temperatures outside due to the exchange and release of heat into the environment. There is an urgent need to find a cleaner and more sustainable way to cool our living environment. District Cooling One cooling solution that has gained traction is district cooling. This involves centralising cooling plants that distribute chilled water to various buildings through an underground network of insulated pipes to provide air conditioning. Through economies of scale, district cooling consumes less energy for the same amount of cooling and reduces carbon emissions. As the individual buildings do not need to invest in their own chillers and maintain them, this approach enhances reliability and frees up space that would be needed if the building installed its own chillers. Building owners also save on maintenance costs by tapping on the district cooling network. SP designed and built the world’s largest underground district cooling network at Marina Bay, which has been in operation with zero supply interruption since 2006. However, the  design and integration of this solution was conceptualised when Marina Bay was in a greenfield state. The concept of district cooling can be applied in a brownfield, or existing urban setting, where existing buildings already have their own chiller plant systems. This is where the DDC network comes in. In Singapore, where majority of land is already built upon and developed, connecting existing buildings on to a brownfield DDC network can be a game changer, supporting Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 to address climate change and promote sustainable living. The white paper by Temasek and SP Group titled “Taking The Heat Off Cooling: A Greener Way To Cool” can be downloaded at www.ecosperity.sg/en/ideas/taking-the- heat-off-cooling-a-greener-way-to-cool.html   -Ends-   Quotes from Property Owners Quote from CapitaLand “As part of the CapitaLand Group, one of the most sustainable corporations in the world, CICT is firmly committed to embedding sustainability in our business strategy and the daily operations of our portfolio, which is 100% green-rated.

Electricity Tariff Revision for the Period 1 October to 31 December 2024https://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Electricity-Tariff-Revision-for-the-Period-1-October-to-31-December-2024
Media Release Electricity Tariff Revision for the Period 1 October to 31 December 2024 Singapore, 30 September 2024 – For the period from 1 October to 31 December 2024, the electricity tariff (before GST) for households will decrease by 2.6% or 0.78 cent per kWh compared with the previous quarter due to lower energy costs. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in HDB four-room flats will decrease by $3.00 (before GST). Electricity tariffs (before GST), including tariffs for non-households, will decrease by an average of 2.5% or 0.70 cent per kWh compared with the previous quarter. SP Group reviews the electricity tariffs every quarter based on guidelines set by the electricity industry regulator, Energy Market Authority (EMA). The electricity tariffs may fluctuate quarter to quarter due to volatile global fuel prices. Please refer to Appendix 1 for the components of the electricity tariff, Appendix 2 for the electricity tariffs approved by EMA, and Appendix 3 for the average monthly electricity bill for households. Appendix 1 BREAKDOWN OF ELECTRICITY TARIFF The electricity tariff consists of the following four components: Energy costs (paid to the generation companies): This component is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the cost of fuel and power generation. The fuel cost is the cost of imported natural gas, which is tied to oil prices by commercial contracts. The cost of power generation covers mainly the costs of operating the power stations, such as the manpower and maintenance costs, as well as the capital cost of the stations.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Pushing boundaries to impact future generations RELIABILITY Managing high voltage equipment is all in a day’s work for our senior engineer Tan Jie Yi. She works in the Transmission Operation and Maintenance team, part of the 24/7 operations that contribute to Singapore’s world-class network reliability. No detail is too small when conducting maintenance work for switchgears – key components in the smooth distribution of electricity to customers in industries, businesses and households. With 13 years of engineering experience under her belt, Jie Yi is unfazed by the technical and hands-on nature of her job. Join us as we discover how Jie Yi’s career has come “full circle” for her and has fuelled her passion in engineering. Tan Jie Yi, Senior Engineer in Transmission Operation and Maintenance team, finds joy and fulfilment in keeping the nation’s world-class electricity grid running. Finding her path into the engineering industry more than a decade ago, Jie Yi’s passion for scaling new heights led her to where she is today in SP Group. Formerly in the switchgear manufacturing industry, Jie Yi literally switched gears when she joined SP, as she deepened her technical expertise by learning to manage the full cycle of switchgears – from installation to maintenance. “Now that I’m on the client side, I can better appreciate the priorities and challenges faced during maintenance and understand how we can address them during the project installation phase. Like most engineers, I enjoy problem-solving. The adrenaline rush keeps me going!”   Here, we see Jie Yi assisting to perform switching work in a transmission substation. Electrical networks have to be shut down safely before maintenance work can be carried out. The team performs equipment maintenance and renewal according to a rigorous schedule. When asked about what it takes to prove her mettle in a field that has been conventionally male-dominated, Jie Yi’s advice is to strengthen one’s competency. “You need to put in effort to have sound knowledge of the operations and protocols. Gender doesn’t get in the way when you can stand up to the quality of your work.” Jie Yi is currently undergoing training to attain her switching certificate. This will allow her to operate high-voltage equipment independently. Jie Yi’s advice to those interested in engineering is to start from ground up to build a strong knowledge foundation, and always be hungry to know and learn more. “When you start from the bottom, there is nowhere to go but up,” she shares. This philosophy is mirrored in her own career, where she started as an engineering assistant and worked her way up to become a project manager. To Jie Yi and her team, they believe that the work they are doing today, is an investment for generations to come. This also holds true as she embarked on a new journey as a first-time mum to twins!  TAGS PEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ How this 'grid doctor' maintains the health of Singapore's electricity network so everything stays on 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

[20210322] Media Release - SP Group Partners Chevron to Offer Electric Vehicle Charging at Selected Caltex Service Stationshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/d8f3cb97-70e4-4c5f-bd57-29d857e496c6/%5B20210322%5D+Media+Release+-+SP+Group+Partners+Chevron+to+Offer+Electric+Vehicle+Charging+at+Selected+Caltex+Service+Stations.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
News Release SP GROUP PARTNERS CHEVRON TO OFFER ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING AT SELECTED CALTEX SERVICE STATIONS Singapore, 22 March 2021 – SP Group (SP) and Chevron Singapore Pte. Ltd., which markets the Caltex TM brand, today announced a partnership to offer fast electric vehicle (EV) charging at selected Caltex service stations, delivering on-the-go convenience to electric vehicle motorists. To be located at four of Caltex’s service stations across Singapore, the initial batch of chargers will be strategically located across the Caltex network, at Chong Pang (North), Changi (East), Jurong Spring (West) and Dunearn (Central). These Caltex service stations will be equipped with 50kW direct current (DC) fast chargers that can charge up an EV in 30 minutes, versus a few hours required by the more commonly available alternating current (AC) chargers. Three service stations will each be equipped with one 50kW direct current (DC) fast charger. The fourth, at Changi, will have two 50kW DC charging points that are designed to allow a compatible car to charge up to a speed of 100kW, provided only one car is utilising the charging points. (Refer to the annex for the addresses of this first batch of service stations.) SP and Caltex will study EV charging usage patterns and behaviour at the stations to refine and enhance accessibility and utilisation, and plan for more charging points and locations. Group Chief Executive Officer of SP, Mr. Stanley Huang, said, “We are pleased to partner Caltex in our first collaboration with a fuels and lubricants retailer. This gives EV drivers greater convenience as it accelerates the accessibility of charging locations that are incorporated in our daily activities. Our aim is to build Singapore’s largest public EV charging network and expand our integrated green mobility solutions to meet the evolving needs and sustainability goals of businesses and individuals.” "Chevron is excited to partner with SP Group to provide EV chargers at selected Caltex stations in Singapore. It is Chevron’s goal to deliver affordable, reliable, and ever-cleaner energy that enables human progress," said Mr. Law Tat Win, Chevron Singapore Country Chairman. "We 1 endeavour to continually test, learn and explore how to enhance our product and service offerings for our Singapore customers at our Caltex stations.” This SP and Caltex partnership will better serve drivers choosing electric vehicles and help achieve a lower-carbon future for Singapore. This includes Caltex’s existing commercial customers who plan to electrify their fleets. Both companies will continue to explore initiatives to meet the EV needs for private ownership and commercial use. The chargers will be installed by the second quarter of 2021 and will be incorporated on the SP Utilities mobile app for ease of use. The SP Utilities mobile app allows EV drivers to search for the availability of the nearest charging points, receive real-time updates on their charging sessions and make direct, cashless payment. -Ends- 2 About SP Group SP Group is a leading utilities group in the Asia Pacific, enabling a low-carbon, smart energy future for its customers.
