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?

MEDIA RELEASE 27 October 2021 Singapore’s First Digital Twin for National Power Grid Created in collaboration with government agencies, industry players and research experts to enhance power grid resilience A brighter and more sustainable energy future – this is what Singapore’s first digital twin for the power grid will enable. 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. 2 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 Twin 1 for the health management of grid assets (such as substations, transformers, cables); and • Network Twin 2 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.) 3 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 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. The project is funded by the Public Sector Science & Technology Policy & Plans Office (S&TPPO). 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. 4 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. 5 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.” 6 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.” 7 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 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.

Leveraging the technology and SP’s experience in the energy industry, both parties will also focus on integrating sustainable energy solutions such as distributed energy, energy storage, energy efficiency and energy management systems. In the next phase of development, these solutions could be extended to other projects in the SinoSingapore International Technology Innovation Cooperation Demonstration Area within CSGKC, to enable more customers to enjoy substantial energy and cost savings. This will translate to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future for CSGKC and Guangzhou city. Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group said: “Our technology and operations at Raffles City Chongqing and Singapore’s Marina Bay have helped customers achieve cost savings and reduce energy consumption by 40 per cent. Through this partnership with CSGKC, SP Group looks forward to supporting China’s goal to build an ecological civilisation and Beautiful China1 , with our smart and sustainable energy solutions. Together, we aim to enable customers in China to enjoy a sustainable, low-carbon future.” Mr. Chen Changxin, CEO of GKC Co said: "As an important platform for China-Singapore collaboration, GKC Co has started the exchanges and cooperation with SP Group since the ground-breaking of GKC. This year marks the 30th anniversary of China-Singapore diplomacy and the 10th anniversary of GKC, it is a milestone for us to jointly establish a joint venture to develop the smart energy business. Based on the principle of “government-supported, enterprise-led, market-driven” and with the Knowledge Tower project at the Jiulong Lake as a start, we will implement investment, construction and operation of district cooling and heating solutions centred on the smart micro-grids layout, promote the development of smart energy businesses in GKC and gradually extend to GBA, so as to achieve synergistic improvement of commercial value, corporate benefits and social effects, and jointly create another successful model of ChinaSingapore collaboration." Raffles City Chongqing, where SP Group operates its advanced energy-efficient cooling and heating system, commenced operations in September 2019. SP’s cooling operations enabled Raffles City Chongqing to reduce energy consumption by more than 40 per cent savings, compared to conventional building chiller plants. SP designed and operates the world’s largest underground district cooling system at Singapore’s Marina Bay Financial district. Besides achieving substantial energy efficiency, the Marina Bay district cooling network achieved 100% reliability for 13 consecutive years, since it commenced operations in 2006. -Ends- 新加坡能源集团携手中新广州知识城实现节能解决方案 （新加坡、中国，2020 年 8 月 31 日）新加坡能源集团（SP Group）今天宣布与中新广州 知识城投资开发有限公司（简称“知识城合资公司”）签署合作协议，双方成立合资企业 开发区域供冷供热及综合能源解决方案，帮助中新广州知识城（简称“知识城”）实现节 能减排目标。 新加坡能源集团总裁黄天源和知识城合资公司总裁陈长新在新加坡-广东合作理事会（简 称“新粤合作理事会”）第十一次会议上签署了该合资协议。广东省省长马兴瑞先生和新 加坡交通部长王乙康先生分别在广州和新加坡主持了此次线上视频会议。 按照协议，新加坡能源集团与知识城合资公司将共同开发知识城九龙湖“知识塔”片区的 区域供冷供热解决方案。同时，借助新能源集团在能源领域的经验和技术，双方还将关注 一体化能源解决方案，如分布式能源、储能、能效管理及整合能源管理系统等方面。下一 阶段，这些技术将拓展到广州知识城“中新国际科技创新合作示范区”的其他项目中，使 更多客户受益于能耗和成本的大幅下降。这也将为知识城和广州市更清洁、可持续的能源 事业发展助力。 新加坡能源集团总裁黄天源先生说：“我们创新的技术和营运为重庆来福士和新加坡滨海 湾的客户节约了百分之四十的能耗。新加坡能源集团希望能够通过这次中新广州知识城的 合作，用我们的智慧可持续能源解决方案，继续支持中国的生态文明和‘美丽中国’2建 设，实现低碳和可持续发展的未来。” 知识城合资公司总裁陈长新说：“这个合资企业的建立正值中新建交 30 周年和广州知识 城成立 10 周年，对于知识城智慧能源产业发展来说有着里程碑式的意义。我们将坚持 ‘政府引导、企业先行、市场化运作’的原则，以九龙湖知识塔项目为起点，围绕智能微 网布局实施区域制冷和供热解决方案的投资、建设和运营。”陈长新表示，双方还将持续 提升知识城智慧能源产业发展水平，并将成功经验推广至粤港澳大湾区，从而实现商业价 值、企业效益和社会效应的协同提高，共同打造中新合作的又一成功典范。 新加坡能源集团在新加坡滨海湾金融区设计打造了世界上最大的地下区域供冷系统。该系 统自 2006 年投入运营以来已连续十三年实现 100%的可靠性。2019 年 9 月正式营业的重庆 来福士广场也采用了新能源集团的尖端高效节能供冷供热系统，实现了高达40%以上的节 能效果。新加坡能源集团将以中新广州知识城合作项目为契机，为中国持续带来高效节能 的解决方案，助力“美丽中国”建设。 -完- Sustainabilityhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/energy-hub/sustainability/sp-and-uob-facilitate-credit-cardholders-carbon-offset SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation SP and UOB facilitate credit cardholders’ carbon offset SUSTAINABILITY SP has partnered UOB to enable UOB EVOL cardholders to offset 100 per cent or more of their household electricity carbon emissions for free when they charge their SP bill payments to their credit card via a new exclusive feature jointly launched by SP and UOB.

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.

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. PHOTO: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TASKFORCE Undergrads’ ‘great charter’ for environment Youth organisation Energy Carta, founded by NUS alumnus Yujun Chean (front row, left) in 2008, is one of the three inaugural winners of the Singapore Energy Award. 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.

The 3M brand foldable masks are packed in a “Stay Prepared” kit that will also contain instructions in four languages on how to put them on, and useful emergency contact numbers. A total of 1.2 million kits will be delivered to homes between today and next Monday. The initiative is led by Temasek Cares, a non-profit philantrophic arm under Temasek Holdings, in partnership with Singapore Power and Singapore Post. Temasek Cares will be pumping in $4 million from its $40 million war chest, called the Temasek Emergency Preparedness Fund, for the mask distribution programme. The fund was set up earlier this year to help Singaporeans prepare and deal with emergencies. Last month, a $1.5 million project to train 60 therapists to help children deal with traumatic situations, such as accidents, was also launched. Richard Magnus, chairman of Temasek Cares, said the kits will give households an “initial stock” of masks to encourage them to plan their own contingencies. “It’s a habit of mind we want to prompt... Last June, there was a severe haze that impacted Singapore... we need to be prepared,” said Mr Magnus. The Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre expects this year’s haze to be worse than last year’s. This is because of lower than usual rainfall expected from now till October in parts of the region and the El Nino weather pattern, which is linked to drought, said reports. Being prepared earlier will also prevent a repeat of last June, when people scrambled to stock up on face masks. An additional 17,000 kits will also be delivered to over 140 charity homes, and another 300,000 have been prepared on standby for needy families. Mary Abishagam, 57, a senior administrative assistant with Singapore Power, said she will be volunteering an extra three hours every day, on top of her regular work, to help pack the kits for delivery. “It’s going to be challenging, but we will manage... We are getting people prepared and not many people have thought of keeping masks in their homes,” she said cheerily. Members of the public who wish to get more information about the delivery of the kits can call a hotline, 1800-738-2000, from today until May 24, between 8am and 8pm daily. adrianl@sph.com.sg [20181102]+Media+Release+-+SP+Develops+Future+Energy+Leaders+Through+First+Energy+Managers+Programme+And+Industry+Scholarships.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/eb336278-8c06-4ff2-8f90-5bb0b99e6533/%5B20181102%5D+Media+Release+-+SP+Develops+Future+Energy+Leaders+Through+First+Energy+Managers+Programme+And+Industry+Scholarships.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID= News Release SP DEVELOPS FUTURE ENERGY LEADERS THROUGH FIRST ENERGY MANAGERS PROGRAMME AND INDUSTRY SCHOLARSHIPS Singapore, 2 November 2018 – Singapore Institute of Power and Gas (SIPG), as the centralised training institute for the power and gas sectors, announced today the successful completion of its first Energy Managers Programme (EMP). The pioneer cohort of 19 energy sector professionals was recognised in a ceremony during Singapore International Energy Week 2018, witnessed by Dr Tan Wu Meng, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Trade and Industry and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The programme, which is under the SkillsFuture Leadership Development Initiative, is designed to build a pipeline of strong leaders for the energy sector as they address issues and opportunities in today’s transforming and disruptive landscape. Building on its inaugural run, SIPG is opening its programme to participants from ASEAN utilities and other international companies in the energy value chain, curating a broader range of experiences, perspectives and real-world applications. Mr Peter Leong, Principal of SIPG, said, “We customised this programme to help energy industry managers hone their well-rounded leadership skills through blended learning in the classroom and field trips to companies in Singapore and overseas. They have personally benefitted from networking with peers from across the value chain. They have also gleaned insights on driving advancement and innovation amidst the rapid industry disruption, in order to serve all consumers better.” Spanning five months from February this year, the programme’s first participants were emerging leaders from generation companies and SP Group. Through workshops, dialogues with senior leaders from the energy sector and government, as well as a learning trip to China, the participants were exposed to pertinent challenges the industry faces, in Singapore and around the region. They also gained valuable insights from individual coaching sessions and working on action projects. Mr Neo Bing Hui, Senior Operations Engineer, YTL PowerSeraya Ltd, said, “The Energy Managers Programme (EMP) has helped broaden my views of the industry in general, providing a different perspective of how challenges can be viewed in the energy sector. After going through EMP, I have gleaned more insights on my leadership style and how I can effectively improve communication with my team mates. I am excited to start applying what I've learnt from this programme.” The pressing need to inspire the energy sector to groom the next generation of energy leaders is why the Energy Market Authority is supporting the programme. Its Chief Executive, Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, said: “For the energy sector to embrace new opportunities and challenges, there is a need to engage and develop tomorrow's energy leaders. They will need to be agile and adopt a growth mindset to lead their organisations forward. EMA supports SIPG in playing a crucial role in providing a programme to grow our future energy leaders.” Nurturing engineering talent In developing future engineering talent, SP Group also awarded two Energy-Industry Scholarships to students from institutions of higher learning – Ms Choo Wei Ming, 19, from Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Mr Muhammad Syahiran bin Jamal, 20, from Singapore Polytechnic. SP Group’s Chief Human Resource Officer, Mr Ng Seng Huwi, presented the scholarships to Wei Ming and Muhammad Syahiran, at a ceremony during the Youth@SIEW event earlier today. The scholarship serves to nurture talent for the energy sector and support students with a passion for engineering in achieving academic and career aspirations. They will join SP Group when they complete their studies. About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

THE STRAITS TIMES BRANDED CONTENT ‘A good engineer likes to be challenged’: Mentor’s tough assignments sharpen skills of next generation Crucial technical knowledge to safeguard the nation’s power grid is passed down under a mentorship programme by SP Group SP Group's mentorship programme allows engineering veterans such as Mr Chua Khim Mong (top) to share their wealth of knowledge with the next generation of talent like Mr Chung Der Chyuan. PHOTO: SP GROUP PUBLISHED AUG 28, 2023, 4:00 AM SGT On any given day, Mr Chua Khim Mong would pose a hypothetical engineering problem in a group chat, challenging his team of technical officers and technicians to solve it. Mr Chua also leads weekly learning sessions and routinely assigns reading lists. No, Mr Chua is not a teacher – the 57-year-old is a senior principal engineer at SP Group. While his day job is to make sure Singapore’s national grid runs efficiently and seamlessly, he is also known as a no-nonsense mentor with close to 40 years of experience in the field. Mr Chung Der Chyuan, a principal engineer with SP Group and one of Mr Chua’s mentees, says that he has benefitted from the mentorship programme. “Mr Chua is very approachable and straightforward. He will explain his view and then let me figure out the details while keeping a watchful eye,” he shares. Today, both mentor and mentee collaborate to share their knowledge with colleagues, such as writing articles as part of a technical experts forum. Unseen heroes who pre-empt problems Mr Chua and his team are known as protection engineers and play an essential part in keeping Singapore’s lights on. Thanks to their work of monitoring and troubleshooting over 12,000 substations and 28,000 kilometres of electricity cables located across the island, Singapore’s ubiquitous power grid is world-leading in its reliability. While SP Group has monitoring equipment and technology that automatically adjust and reroute power across the grid to address anomalies, engineers remain crucial in fine-tuning systems and analysing faults. “With more than 50,000 protective relays, we look out for problems that can occur when there are firmware or hardware revisions in the relay equipment,” explains Mr Chua. Maintaining such a complex yet well-functioning national grid is no small feat, requiring depth and breadth in engineering knowledge and skills. To ensure such know-how, accumulated through decades of experience, is preserved and passed down to the younger engineers, SP Group has implemented the Technical Expert Scheme, which is an in-house mentorship programme designed to ensure the continuity of in-depth industry knowledge. A “living manual” with 40 years of experience Mr Chua first joined the Public Utilities Board, the precursor to SP Group, nearly four decades ago when he was 19 years old. Starting out as an assistant technician, he helped engineers who were more senior than him carry out relay testing and maintenance. Having risen through the ranks from a technician to a senior engineer, Mr Chua is well-placed to mentor his junior team members, guiding them through difficult situations they may face in the course of their work. “When I was a junior technician, our manager assigned a senior engineer to share with me and explain protection systems: the characteristics of a good protection system and how to set up relays. The presentation really changed my understanding of electrical engineering.” With nearly four decades of experience under his belt, Mr Chua believes tough assignments can help his mentees stretch their capabilities and grow in their careers. PHOTO: SP GROUP Now, Mr Chua places a similar emphasis on educating and motivating his junior colleagues. On his approach to skills upgrading, he says, “A good engineer likes to be challenged. I would give my engineers tough assignments to push them in sharpening their skills, and encourage them to keep working on solving the problem rather than walk away.” “Many of my officers have expressed interest in pursuing a degree course. This is something that I am very, very proud of because it shows a deep culture of wanting to upgrade themselves,” shares Mr Chua, who himself completed an engineering degree under a scholarship from his organisation in 1995. This is also testimony to his efforts of encouraging a team learning culture. To officers who want to attain additional qualifications, he reminds them, “Revise your maths because it is the hardest part of the course. After all, maths is a big part of an engineer’s job.” Mr Chua recounts one instance where he patiently allowed a junior team member to present his findings in a sharing session even though he had already spotted a miscalculation. “Rather than correcting him at the start, I want him to learn from his mistake and share the learning with his peers. “We remember and learn better through our mistakes,” Mr Chua explains. Often, his mentees would come to him for advice when they encounter complex situations on the job. “Most of the time, I already have the answer to their question. But I would send them off to come up with their proposed hypothesis and test method. This way, we can have two-way discussions and uncover new insights which can be applied in other situations,” he adds. He would also assign engineers technical papers to read so that they keep up with the latest trends and developments, before hearing their views on potential applications. Mr Chua pays close attention to the work of his juniors and always welcomes questions. “I tell them to never be afraid of asking seemingly silly questions. The most valuable lessons are learned from questioning and probing,” shares Mr Chua. In the spirit of learning from one another, Mr Chua has implemented surprise tests and weekly sharing sessions. “Once a week, we are all in the office to share interesting experiences or findings. Even the simplest finding or experience can be valuable to another. Everyone can benefit, including myself, regardless of rank or age.” “At the end of the day, the goal is to solve engineering problems more efficiently. But when possible, I will let my technical officers or engineers do things the hard way so that they get to learn more from the problem-solving process,” adds Mr Chua. As Singapore seeks to transition to a low-carbon future and tackle climate change, Singapore’s grid will be upgraded with new technologies to provide for developments like electric vehicle charging and more extensive deployment of solar panels. Technical experts like Mr Chua are key in helping the next generation of talent to keep abreast of change and new opportunities, and hone relevant skills and expertise.

News Release SP GROUP AWARDED BCA GRANT TO POWER NEXT-GEN GREEN BUILDINGS NUS’ UTown to pilot SP’s digital energy solutions at selected buildings Singapore, 16 June 2021 –The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has awarded a grant to SP Group (SP) under the Green Buildings Innovation Cluster (GBIC) Programme, to develop and implement technologies and digital solutions to push the limits of buildings’ energy efficiency standards. The GBIC programme is one of the enablers of the Singapore Green Building Masterplan, which in turn supports the Singapore Green Plan 2030. Equipping building operators with smart tools to be energy-efficient 2 Under GBIC funding, SP Group will pilot a dynamic online digital portal and an artificial intelligence (A.I.) powered mobile application tool to provide real-time electricity and water usage insights to both occupants and building facilities managers. Through the portal, users can keep track of the building’s aggregated water and electricity consumption, and the resulting carbon emissions to enable them to proactively identify ways to reduce their carbon footprint and utilities usage. The portal will come with advanced data analytics to assist building operators to plan and achieve more efficient building management by providing actionable recommendations on saving energy and an A.I. enabled anomaly detection function to prevent energy wastage. Empowering building occupants to make sustainable choices 3 Building occupants will also be equipped with an “At Work” function of the SP Utilities App to encourage them to achieve a more sustainable lifestyle. The new function aims to enhance the occupant’s sustainability experience by providing them personalised energy data to build awareness and better understand their building’s consumption performance. Occupants will also be encouraged to adopt green behaviour through 1 gamification such as quizzes and energy saving challenges between occupants, reminders, rewards and tips on saving energy. Pilot of digital solutions with NUS 4 The National University of Singapore’s (NUS) University Town (UTown) will be the first development to have these digital solutions implemented under this programme. The solutions will be piloted at two buildings at UTown – the Education Resource Centre and the Stephen Riady Centre – and will be installed in the first half of 2022. Both buildings contain various categories of spatial use such as offices, teaching rooms, sports facilities and commercial tenants. This will allow SP and BCA to test the solutions on a variety of areas. Sharing of Building Energy Data in SLEB Smart Hub 5 SP will work together with BCA to incorporate Green Mark data reporting functions into the digital solutions to facilitate the sharing of information between buildings and BCA’s SLEB Smart Hub 1 . The SLEB Smart Hub will serve as an interface to receive, combine and analyse data from different resources and report them to the BCA Green Mark certification system. This enables benchmarking of the building’s energy performance against other similar building types, and piloting of green technologies including automatic energy data reporting for data analytics 2 . 6 Group Chief Executive Officer of SP, Mr Stanley Huang, said, “Decarbonisation is a collective effort and we are at the forefront of enabling this paradigm shift through our strengths in integrated smart energy solutions. Leveraging digitisation and big data analyses, we can enable all building stakeholders to drive positive change at scale. With the support of BCA and building operators, we will develop user-centric solutions to 1 Super Low Energy Building (SLEB Smart Hub) is Singapore’s first digital knowledge centre for green buildings in the region, feature-filled with smart analytic tools, datasets, a directory and the largest green building database in Singapore. 2 Building owners are required to report their energy data to BCA for green building projects funded under the Green Buildings Innovation Cluster (GBIC) programme. 2 advance next-gen green, energy-efficient buildings, and create green communities that will accelerate a carbon neutral future for Singapore.” 7 Chief Executive of BCA, Mr Kelvin Wong said, “The Green Buildings Innovation Cluster or GBIC Programme has been a cornerstone in furthering the deployment of innovation and technology in improving energy efficiency of buildings in Singapore. With active partnership with the industry, GBIC will be an enabler in meeting one of the outcomes of the Singapore Green Building Masterplan, which is to achieve an 80% improvement in energy efficiency for best-in-class green buildings by 2030. SP Group’s work in developing smart technologies will help building operators and occupants to reduce energy consumption. With buildings accounting for over 20% of Singapore’s emissions, BCA welcomes like-minded firms to partner us to reduce the carbon footprint of the Built Environment, working towards our collective goal of a more sustainable and liveable Singapore.” 8 The BCA Green Building Innovation Cluster aims to help push the boundaries of buildings’ energy efficiency standards under the Singapore Green Building Masterplan (SGBMP) and aid the transition to a low-carbon built environment. The SGBMP supports Singapore’s agenda on sustainable development as part of the Singapore Green Plan 2030, and the nation’s efforts to halve its 2030 peak greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. -End- About SP Group SP Group is a leading utilities group in the Asia Pacific, enabling a low-carbon, smart energy future for its customers.
