(Credit: PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency) SP Group (SP) has partnered PUB to participate in EMA’s Demand Response (DR) and Interruptible Load (IL) programmes. PUB is the first government agency to participate in the programmes. PUB will voluntarily reduce its energy use or temporarily shift electricity usage during periods of peak usage or when supply from renewable energy sources is intermittent. This will help balance electricity demand and supply on the national power grid at critical times, while facilitating the integration of more renewables. For a start, PUB has identified the Marina Raw Water Pumping Station, located at Kallang Basin, as the first contributing facility. The pumping station is used to transfer raw water from Marina Reservoir to Upper Peirce Reservoir and there is flexibility to adjust operations when required to manage or reduce electricity usage. SP has been operating the Thermal Energy Storage system as part of its Marina Bay District Cooling operations since 2006 to improve the overall reliability and resilience of the network. In 2016, the team started developing process, control and data science capabilities to become an active participant in EMA’s demand-side management activities through the DR and IL programmes. In 2022, SP became a DR aggregator, which presented SP the unique opportunity to facilitate electricity load curtailment across multiple sites, and for other suitable companies. — 6 April 2023 TAGS RELIABILITY 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

Joint Media Release SP GROUP LAUNCHES GREEN FINANCING FRAMEWORK Company also secures S$100 million in green loan facilities from DBS, OCBC Bank and UOB Singapore, 22 April 2021 – SP Group (SP) has established a Green Financing Framework 1 in a move that deepens the integration of its sustainability ambition into its financing strategy. SP has also secured its maiden green loan facilities of S$100 million from DBS, OCBC Bank and UOB on a bilateral basis. Under the Framework, SP and its subsidiaries will be able to issue green financing instruments to finance and/or refinance eligible green projects in four categories: clean transportation, energy efficiency projects, renewable energy and green buildings. The Framework will also govern the use and management of the green loan facilities from DBS, OCBC Bank and UOB. The Framework is credible, impactful and aligned with the relevant international principles and guidelines 2 , as established in findings by Sustainalytics, an independent ESG and corporate governance research, ratings and analysis firm. The firm was engaged to provide a second party opinion on the Framework. With the Framework in place, investors and lenders will now have greater visibility of the use of proceeds and the positive environmental impact of SP’s investments in sustainable energy solutions and projects that are funded by green financing instruments. This will help investors and lenders identify and fund investments and projects aligned with their sustainable investing strategy. Chief Financial Officer of SP, Ms Loong Hui Chee, said, “This Green Financing Framework is central to SP Group’s commitment to advance clean energy transition, build sustainable infrastructure and foster innovation to enable a low carbon economy. We are pleased to partner DBS, OCBC Bank and UOB to secure our maiden green loan facilities. We look forward to working with like-minded financiers to support Singapore’s efforts to build a green finance ecosystem.” Mr Lim Wee Seng, Group Head of Energy, Chemicals and Infrastructure, DBS Institutional Banking Group, said, “As Southeast Asia’s largest bank, DBS plays a significant role in financing positive change and using our expertise and sector knowledge to support leading energy companies like SP Group, in achieving their sustainable development goals. In our on-going commitment to sustainability, DBS financed about SGD 597 million of renewable and clean energy-related projects last year. We continue to see tremendous growth potential in sustainable finance with more companies exploring ways to create positive impact and as stakeholders place greater responsibility on corporates to drive both profit and purpose-driven agendas.” 1 The Framework and Second Party Opinion is available at: https://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/investor-relations 2 Green Bond Principles 2018 by the International Capital Market Association; Green Loan Principles 2020 by the Loan Market Association, Asia Pacific Loan Market Association and Loan Syndications and Trading Association; ASEAN Green Bond Standards 2018 by the ASEAN Capital Markets Forum.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Safeguarding the Backbone of Singapore’s Grid RELIABILITY The transmission substations that Kane Neo oversees are key to keeping Singapore powered Kane Neo and his team protect a part of the power world that is invisible to most – the high voltage transmission networks. These networks form the backbone of Singapore’s electricity infrastructure, connecting power from the power generation plant to the distribution networks that connect it to our customers. “Power that runs through transmission networks can be massive – ranging from 66kV to 400kV. When running at full capacity, one 230kV transmission substation can power up to eight towns, each the size of Toa Payoh,” explains the 47-year-old, General Manager of SP’s power grid business.  He first discovered his passion for power engineering when studying at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Power is generated at very high voltage, travelling through these networks before being progressively “stepped down” at the transmission substations. Through various distribution substations, power is sent via smaller cables of the network to homes and offices. “The work we do is highly sensitive and teamwork is important. Any issue on the transmission network can cause a huge impact,” he adds. A transmission substation, which feeds into many distribution substations, can affect several estates if it faces disruption, he says.   At SP, the path to become a transmission engineer spans about four years of on-the-job training and structured courses. Regular health checks on transmission assets such as cables, switchgears and transformers form a critical part of the job for Kane and his team of over 160. The size, importance and complexity of the equipment do not make this easy. For instance, Kane’s team keeps a close watch on transmission cables, which run for approximately 2,600km, and some 3,000 transmission assets island-wide. Any anomalies that may impact transmission assets, are detected early using data from sensors and rectified. Stringent checks include tests on the quality of gas that insulates the high voltage equipment. “If we detect a problem, it needs to be solved in the shortest amount of time, and we persist until we get to the bottom of it,” says Kane, who has been with SP since 2000 and spent the last three years in his current role. He also has a decade of experience working on the distribution network. For Kane and his team, it means constantly being on the alert, pre-empting possible issues and finding ways to make the network more robust. Kane (second from left) with his family (from left) Le Wei, Julie and Le Xuan. While few understand the scale and significance of the transmission network, or the invisible heroes that keep it going, his 12- and 13-year-old daughters do. Le Wei and Le Xuan, are able to spot the various transmission substations when they go out on drives as a family. “As they enjoy modern conveniences, they are also more keenly aware of what it takes to power their lives and the nation daily,” he says. — 17 October 2019 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

News 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.

THE STRAITS TIMES BRANDED CONTENT How this real-life Captain Planet is combating climate change Principal engineer Xcel Lai and his colleagues at SP Group (SP) are helping the nation achieve decarbonisation one solar panel at a time Part of principal engineer Xcel Lai’s job is to identify and optimise underutilised spaces so that solar panels can be deployed to generate renewable energy. PHOTO: SP GROUP PUBLISHED MAY 3, 2023, 4:00 AM SGT While great strides have been made to advance the adoption of solar energy, there is still tremendous work to be done and hurdles to overcome. To tackle climate change and decarbonise the power sector, Mr Xcel Lai, a principal engineer at SP Group (SP) and a member of the company’s Sustainable Energy Solutions team, works with commercial and industrial customers to maximise solar deployment on their properties by identifying and tapping underutilised spaces to generate sustainable, renewable energy for business needs. Mr Lai’s latest project involves installing rooftop solar panels on 37 electrical substations across Singapore, which will generate low-carbon energy of 15.7 megawatt-peak (MWp) annually – enough to power more than 4,500 four-room HDB flats a year. This is one of SP’s latest green initiatives to optimise substations with low-carbon capabilities and contribute towards national sustainability targets. “Green energy is transformational and central to the future of energy. My job is to figure out how to safely and optimally shift our energy supply from our traditional energy sources to more sustainable sources,” shares the 33-year-old. A substation is a part of the power grid infrastructure which enables energy transmission and converts high voltage to low voltage for the end-user. For Mr Lai, the project to “green” the 37 substations exemplifies what it takes for Singapore to progress in her energy journey. The solar panels are slated to be installed on all 37 substations by 2025. This in turn will contribute to Singapore’s ambition to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The Energy Market Authority aims to install at least two gigawatt-peak of solar deployment by 2030, equivalent to the annual electrical needs of 350,000 households. Engineering the urban solar roofscape The concept of harvesting the sun’s energy from Singapore’s rooftops sounds straightforward. However, it is not just a matter of mounting solar panels on any available space. In land-scarce Singapore, rooftops may not always be designed to house solar panels. Typically, a project to install solar panels starts with a site feasibility study. Mr Lai visits the site to assess and plan how to install the photovoltaic system which transforms sunlight into electrical energy. “I get to access the usually-hidden service and logistics areas, which can look surprisingly different from what the public sees,” he says. “There are many considerations during a site survey – from the irradiance and shading which is affected by the surrounding buildings and the sun’s angle, to the type and weight-bearing ability of the roof surface. We also need to ensure that the installation conforms to the Singapore Civil Defence Force’s fire safety regulations,” Mr Lai adds. The space also has to be large enough for an efficiently scaled operation. These technical challenges aside, Mr Lai is excited about the prospect of overcoming these constraints to unlock the viability of solar energy at scale. “Carbon neutrality is an achievable goal and Singapore is moving decisively towards this. It is only a question of how fast we are able to transition. This is where my colleagues and I at SP have a chance at making a meaningful contribution to our industry and the planet. While the path to net-zero is an uphill task, we hope to be part of the solution that reduces the pollution, metaphorically speaking.” Sustainability has become a priority for many companies today. Mr Lai and his colleagues from the SP's energy services unit are identifying solutions that would help businesses embed sustainability practices into their operations to accelerate their decarbonisation efforts. These include solar photovoltaic systems, microgrids and battery energy storage systems. Mr Lai shares that it is only a matter of time before Singapore deploys solar panels over most surfaces that are suitable here. PHOTO: SP GROUP Investing in reliable energy generation As a country with limited natural resources, solar energy holds a lot of promise as a source of sustainable energy for Singapore. “Singapore has an abundance of solar energy. Solar energy is clean and has the potential to be integrated into our infrastructure,” says Mr Lai. “It’s our best bet as a green energy solution.” What happens when it rains and gets cloudy? “We can “collect” energy in an energy storage system when the sun is out, and use the stored energy after the sun sets, or during cloudy, rainy days.” SP is supporting the growth of the Energy Storage System (ESS) capacity to manage intermittency from solar energy. Such a system provides quick response when solar installations are affected by cloud cover, making it a reliable source of power. In the future, with more mature battery technology in ESS, solar energy will prove to be even more viable and reliable. Towards a climate-friendly future The sector is going through a massive transformation and it is not enough just to react to the changes. This is why SP is continuing to scale up on solutions that support the Singapore Green Plan 2030. “We are picking up the pace to meet our energy goals. It’s only a matter of time that we will deploy solar panels over most surfaces that are suitable in Singapore,” says Mr Lai. Recently, SP partnered with AIMS APAC REIT (AA REIT) to install photovoltaic systems on six of AA REIT’s industrial, logistics and warehouse properties. This will be one of the largest rooftop solar installations by any Singapore-listed real estate investment trusts. The panels can collectively produce 14,500 Megawatt-hours of renewable energy and avoid over 5,900 tonnes of carbon emissions a year, which is equivalent to taking almost 6,490 cars off the road. Besides solar energy generation, SP is also paving other critical pathways to achieve net-zero carbon emissions, including electric vehicle (EV) charging, centralised district cooling and smart metering. SP has also exported these solutions to overseas markets, including China, Thailand and Vietnam to help countries meet climate goals.
