The exhibition was conceptualised to raise awareness of the critical role that cleaner energy plays in charting a more sustainable future and accelerating the adoption of energy efficient practices amongst the public. Associate Professor Lim Tit Meng, Chief Executive of Science Centre Board said, “The sustainability mandate is not a new one, it has just been brought into focus in the face of the ongoing economic and environmental crises. Efficient energy consumption, on a larger scale can significantly impact immediate capital and climate recovery to help us realise the long-term vision of a truly sustainable society. With Energy Story exhibition, we hope that guests from all walks of life will gain a better understanding of the importance of growing green energy and be inspired to play a part in the nation’s “energy reset” movement. From institutions to authorities, companies to the public, we all need to work together to change the future of our world.” Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive, Energy Market Authority added, “Singapore’s energy landscape has evolved significantly over the last 50 years. We switched from the use of oil-fired power plants to cleaner sources such as natural gas. Singapore is also one of the most solar energy-dense cities in the world. We plan to decarbonise our power sector further with the deployment of more low-carbon options. We hope Singaporeans and especially students can learn about Singapore’s energy transformation and play a part in creating a sustainable energy future for all.” Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer, SP Group, commented, “Through this exhibition, visitors can learn about Singapore’s world-class energy network, and what goes into making it reliable, secure and sustainable for generations to come. As we empower the future of energy, we put knowledge and tools in the hands of the public, so that everyone can take steps 1 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are tradable green energy attributes that represent units of electricity generated from renewable energy generation facilities. With each megawatt-hour of green energy produced, one REC is recorded and tracked. A buyer can purchase RECs to show proof that an equivalent amount of green energy has been consumed to offset the same amount of electricity used. to contribute towards a greener world. This exhibition will also be a net-zero showcase, through the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates on the SP REC Platform 2 . The electricity consumption of the interactive space will be fully matched with an equivalent amount of green energy produced.” Six zones of multimedia displays, interactives, and poster panels tell the story of how humankind has progressed off the back of energy discovery, and must now work towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. Visitors can explore global, regional, and local energy data, interact with models of different technologies, and demonstrate relevant physics concepts. A key feature of the exhibition is Singapore’s Energy Story, a zone dedicated to raising awareness of our four energy switches and how we are working towards greater sustainability. It highlights the progress of our nation’s energy revolution over the past 50 years and how we balance energy trade-offs to power our future. The exhibition is also aligned with the Ministry of Education (MOE)’s Science syllabus to support learning for lower secondary students, with the exhibits reinforcing textbook topics ranging from the fundamentals of energy in physics to Singapore’s pursuit of technological advancements through research and development. It follows EMA’s earlier collaboration with MOE on a series of energy education videos from 2019, four of which are featured within the exhibition. Finally, the exhibition addresses our responsibility as energy consumers. This call-to-action can be seen throughout the 400-square metre exhibition space, inviting visitors to be more energy conscious in their everyday life. These collective small steps can spur a big impact in building a sustainable future for Singapore. The Energy Story Exhibition is now running at the Science Centre Singapore and is accessible with a general admission ticket.

Singapore Polytechnic Students Rebuild Solar Car After Setback, Supported By Singapore Powerhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Singapore-Polytechnic-Students-Rebuild-Solar-Car-After-Setback--Supported-By-Singapore-Power
News Release Singapore Polytechnic Students Rebuild Solar Car After Setback, Supported By Singapore Power   Singapore, 29 September 2015 – Just three weeks from departure for a prestigious international race, Singapore Polytechnic students’ chances of competing were crushed when their self-built solar car, SunSPEC4 was destroyed. Undaunted, the Singapore Polytechnic team rose to the challenge to rebuild the car, with strong support from sponsor Singapore Power. The team of 52 students and lecturers worked nights and weekends to rebuild a new vehicle in four weeks, compared to eight months for the original car. With additional funding and logistical support from Singapore Power, the team acquired and assembled parts under a highly-compressed schedule. Airfreight saved two weeks, compared to marine freight. Singapore Power alumni – all alumni of Singapore Polytechnic – also provided additional support. The polytechnic’s team is the only Singapore contender in what is considered the toughest solar car race in the world. The team will travel 3,000km from Darwin to Adelaide in six days, using only solar energy. Singapore Power is the sponsor of this initiative, through a five-year $1 million-partnership. The wide-ranging agreement will enable the Singapore Polytechnic team to compete at the biennial World Solar Challenge in 2015, 2017 and 2019. Mr Steven Chew, Team Manager and Senior Lecturer at the polytechnic’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, said, “The students had worked so hard to create the solar car. Just when we were ready to unveil it and pit it against the world’s best at the World Solar Challenge, the setback took everything away. We were devastated to see 20 months of hard work totally destroyed in front of us. But we received strong encouragement from our Board and management, and the students responded by committing to rebuild the car to stay in the Challenge. This became possible when Singapore Power stepped up their sponsorship, including airfreighting the car, which shaved two weeks from the schedule.” Mr Lee Kok Kin, Singapore Power’s Head of Group Risk Management and alumni of the polytechnic, said “Singapore Power stepped up our support so that the entire production can be expedited, especially with supply of materials. We also helped to secure space for road testing. My colleagues and I, all alumni, joined the team to help where we are needed. We want to see our juniors bounce back from this setback, and are committed to supporting them with funding, time and all resources necessary.” Singapore Power Group CEO Mr Wong Kim Yin said, “It is important that we support the students to help them overcome the setback. Against all odds, they have committed themselves to stay in the World Solar Challenge. We must nurture this resilient, “never-say-die” spirit in our younger generation. Singapore can be proud of our SunSPEC team as they hold our flag high in Australia!” Besides being Singapore’s sole entry, SunSPEC4 is the only team from a polytechnic, competing alongside leading global universities such as Stanford University, Cambridge University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The team is in the advanced Cruiser Class category of the competition which encourages the cars to be designed for practicality and acceptance in today’s market segment.

Media Release - Utilities Bill Redesigned To Help Consumers Be More Energy And Water Efficienthttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/0b732521-71e4-41b6-b365-3c9016932fd6/%5B20160801%5D+Media+Release+-+Utilities+Bill+Redesigned+To+Help+Consumers+Be+More+Energy+And+Water+Efficient.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
1 August 2016 For Immediate Release UTILITIES BILL REDESIGNED TO HELP CONSUMERS BE MORE ENERGY AND WATER EFFICIENT From August, residential consumers will receive a redesigned utilities bill to help them track and take steps to reduce their energy and water consumption. This initiative is a joint effort by SP Services, Energy Market Authority (EMA), PUB and City Gas. 2. The utilities bill was redesigned with inputs from usability tests with the public. The new layout allows consumers to view utility usage at a glance, compare the average consumption of neighbours living in similar housing types or streets as well as the national average, and learn how they could be more efficient in their consumption. Highlights from the redesigned bill include: a. A concise bill summary to easily view one's account information; b. Consumption graphs on the front showing previous months' usage and comparisons with neighbours' and national average consumption; c. Personalised tips and advice on how to be more energy- and water-efficient; d. The use of icons for improved clarity; e. Larger text to emphasise important information such as "Total amount". More information can be found in ANNEX A. 3. Managing Director of SP Services, Mr Chuah Kee Heng, said: "We designed the bill to help customers adopt more energy- and water-efficient habits. At a glance, they can clearly see their charges, consumption for the past five months and compare it with their efficient neighbours as well as the national average. It is one of several initiatives we have introduced to help customers make energy saving a way of life." 4. EMA Chief Executive Ng Wai Choong said: "The redesigned hardcopy utilities bill makes energy savings information more accessible to households. This hopefully encourages them to adopt energy-efficient measures in their homes. Improving energy efficiency is a key strategy. It helps us achieve our energy objectives by reducing our dependence on energy imports, enhancing our economic competitiveness, and cutting down carbon emissions." 5. Ms Chew Siow Nee, Chief Financial Officer of PUB, the national water agency, said: "To ensure water sustainability in the long run, we need to manage not only water supply but also water demand. It is important that people understand their role in conserving water. And, a well-designed bill can help them track their usage at a glance. Currently, we use 151 litres of water per person per day. Let’s work towards achieving only 140 litres per person per day by 2030." 6. Mr Kenny Tan, Chief Executive Officer of City Gas, said: "City Gas welcomes SP Services' redesigned utilities bill. It is a fresher and more user-friendly design. Our customers will be able to easily read their consumption and compare with their recent usage trends. As Singapore’s piped town gas provider, we look forward to sharing energy-saving tips on gas usage through the redesigned utilities bill." 7. This is Singapore Power's latest initiative to promote energy and water efficiency to its customers. In May 2016, SP Services together with EMA and PUB launched a new mobile app to help consumers reduce energy and water consumption, lower their utilities bill and conserve the environment. Energy-efficiency features include a Home Utilities Audit where customers can check their estimated utilities usage of appliances at home and find out which are consuming the most energy or water. These features are also implemented on SP Services' online utilities portal and in the email bill summary.
