Media Release - JTC and SP Group to develop and operate Singapore's first Smart Grid for Business Parks at Punggol Digital Districthttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/c5bd36db-b34e-4de6-9ee6-a9cd5c554b23/%5B20181031%5D+Media+Release+-+JTC+and+SP+Group+to+develop+and+operate+Singapore's+first+Smart+Grid+for+Business+Parks+at+Punggol+Digital+District.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
News Release JTC AND SP GROUP TO DEVELOP AND OPERATE SINGAPORE’S FIRST SMART GRID FOR BUSINESS PARKS AT PUNGGOL DIGITAL DISTRICT Partnership will help the District optimise energy consumption, reduce carbon footprint and save cost for businesses and consumers Singapore, 31 October 2018 – A Smart Grid system that provides green energy and increases energy efficiency will serve businesses and consumers in the upcoming Punggol Digital District (PDD). JTC and SP Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the Smart Grid at the Asia Clean Energy Summit 2018 today, witnessed by Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Masagos Zulkifli. This partnership will drive the design of smart energy solutions comprising the areas of renewable energy and electric mobility, that will be integrated with the Open Digital Platform in the District, announced in July this year. 2. Under the MoU, JTC and SP Group will develop and implement a Smart Grid within PDD. Companies in PDD can look forward to adopting clean sources of energy, such as solar energy generated from building roofs, and take advantage of new technologies, such as electric vehicle charging and smart metering. Through the Smart Grid, about 1,700 tonnes of carbon emissions could be reduced per year, equivalent to taking 270 cars off the road. 3. The Smart Grid will be integrated with the Open Digital Platform, allowing communication and interaction with other building systems in the District, such as the District Cooling System (DCS) and the Building Management System (BMS). For instance, on a hot sunny day, the Smart Grid will register an increase in electricity consumption as the air conditioning systems consume more energy to maintain the temperature in the building. It automatically sends a signal to the Open Digital Platform, which detects the specific rooms where the temperature has increased. The Open Digital Platform then activates the Building Management System within the building to lower the blinds in those rooms, reducing heat gain and conserving energy. 1 4. JTC’s Assistant Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David Tan, said, “Beyond utilities and technologies, it is about giving the community the data and tools to make informed decisions about their energy consumption, be it adopting clean sources of energy or optimising usage to reduce costs. Aggregated data on energy consumption from the Smart Grid will be made available for academics, researchers, start-ups and enterprises to encourage innovation in the domains of clean energy and energy management.” 5. Mr Goh Chee Kiong, Head, Strategic Development of SP Group said, “SP Group is committed to design and implement smart energy solutions, driven by our deep energy integration and digital capabilities. We are pleased to work with JTC to help businesses in the Punggol Digital District save cost and go green through our innovative smart grid.” 6. At the forefront of Singapore’s Smart Nation push, PDD is envisioned to be a vibrant and inclusive district where cutting-edge technology and social innovation transform the way we work, live, learn and play in the future. PDD will house key growth sectors such as digital and cybersecurity, and will also be the first district in Singapore to be fully integrated with Internet of Things systems from the ground up. This infrastructure will create conducive testbed environments for businesses and entrepreneurs, allowing them to thrive in a digital economy, while the enhanced experience brought about by the digitalisation will provide a sustainable and connected environment for the community. The first buildings in District are expected to be completed by 2023. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 About JTC Set up in 1968, JTC is the lead government agency responsible for the planning and development of industrial infrastructure to support and catalyse the growth of industries and enterprises in Singapore.

[Media Release] SP Group recognised with three Community Chest Awardshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/a936ae4b-fec0-40ec-a03b-586000753752/%5B20221101%5D+Media+Release+-+SP+Group+recognised+with+three+awards+at+Community+Chest+Awards+2022.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
MEDIA RELEASE SP Group recognised with three Community Chest Awards SP scaled up giving, expanded programmes to benefit seniors, children and youth SP Group CEO Mr Stanley Huang received the Charity Platinum Award from President Halimah Yacob. Singapore, 1 November 2022 – At the Community Chest Awards 2022, SP Group (SP) was recognised with three awards for its sustained philanthropy, strong volunteerism culture and community engagement. Group Chief Executive Officer Stanley Huang received SP’s Charity Platinum Award, Enabler Award, and Volunteer Partner Award at the event presided by President Halimah Yacob on 1 November 2022 at the Istana. Working closely with Community Chest has enabled SP to effectively identify needs, collaborate with social service agencies and create sustained impact to help vulnerable groups. Mr Huang said, “SP is honoured to receive this recognition from Community Chest. Despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic, we scaled up our efforts to fulfil long-standing commitments and set up new programmes to benefit a wider range of social service users, from seniors, to children and youth.” Mr Huang paid tribute to SP’s staff, business associates and the public for enabling its programmes to grow from strength to strength over the years. Last year, SP’s contributions totalled S$4.5 million in donations, sponsorships and volunteer manpower. These include maintaining support for 21,000 seniors through the SP Heartware Fund, which has raised more than S$18 million since it was established in 2005. In addition, SP also committed S$1.1 million this year to see through a five-fold increase in its annual Power Packs initiative, enabling 10,000 lower-income families to receive daily essential items. In widening the scope of its programmes across the age spectrum, SP launched SP Kids at Heart, donating S$2.1 million over the past two years to support 5,000 children under KidSTART with learning tools, including digital devices for home-based learning and early literacy development. 1 SP also extended its reach to youth from vulnerable backgrounds by launching the inaugural SP Group Engineering Study Awards this year with a contribution of S$1.35 million to the Institute of Technical Education (ITE). This will benefit 450 ITE students from lower-income families over the next three years. Through this study award, SP aims to aid aspiring engineers in securing better academic and employment opportunities. In amplifying fundraising efforts for the SP Heartware Fund, SP enables its customers and business associates to donate to Community Chest through the SP app and donation appeals in its utilities bills. SP also matches dollar-for-dollar donations made by its staff to the Fund, and underwrites all fund-raising and operational costs of the Fund and its programmes, so that all donations will go fully to the social service organisations. Staff volunteers, known as SP Heart Workers, organise outreach activities for social service users throughout the year. These include befriending activities at Senior Activity Centres, helping seniors with their grocery runs, conducting digital clinics and more. At the height of the pandemic, SP Heart Workers also partnered FairPrice to bring a mobile supermarket to the doorstep of seniors. SP’s staff have also been part of national-level efforts to provide pandemic relief to the public, including the manning of hotlines for Temasek Foundation’s Stay Prepared programme and Ministry of Health’s home recovery scheme. Mr Huang explained, “Over the years, we have developed a strong culture of volunteerism amongst our team members. This shared purpose of pursuing a common good unifies our people, fosters team-building and cultivates the spirit of giving.” SP Group has received the Charity Platinum Award and Volunteer Partner awards in past editions of the Community Chest Awards, held annually to honour organisations and individuals in Singapore who have made outstanding contributions to the social service sector to care for the less fortunate in the community. - Ends - About SP Group SP Group is a leading utilities group in the Asia Pacific, empowering the future of energy with low-carbon, smart energy solutions for its customers.

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

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.

4 | The C OMPANIES & MARKETS SP Group secures first utility-scale solar assets in Vietnam By Wong Pei Ting wongpeiting@sph.com.sg ENERGY utilities group SP Group has bought its first solar farm assets in Vietnam, as part of its plan to develop 1.5 gigawatts of utilityscale and rooftop solar projects in the country by 2025. The two assets, with a combined peak capacity of 100 megawattspeak, generate 130 gigawatt-hours of clean energy a year, amounting to an avoidance of 105,000 tonnes in carbon emissions annually. They are the Europlast Phu Yen Solar Power Plant and the Thanh Long Phu Yen Solar Power Plant, located in Phu Yen, a province in the south-central coast of the country. Europlast has been in operation since June 2019, while the Thanh Long plant was established in December 2020. Announcing the acquisition on Monday (Mar 6), SP Group said the assets will equip the company with capabilities to help commercial and industrial customers achieve “100 per cent clean energy consumption” once Vietnam’s direct power purchase framework is established. This framework, which is still being developed by the country’s Ministry of Industry and Trade, promises to let renewable energy generators sell clean electricity to private offtakers for the first time. Currently, SP Group bases its Vietnamese business on designing, deploying and operating rooftop solar solutions across the country. These can only green part of customers’ energy mix, however. Brandon Chia, SP Group’s managing director of sustainable energy solutions (South-east Asia and Australia), thus describes the acquisition as a “key milestone” of the group’s long-term ambitions in the country. “Through our solar power offerings in both rooftop and utilityscale solutions, SP Group will be a one-stop provider to help our Vietnam customers meet their decarbonisation goals,” he said. SP Group has been developing rooftop solar projects in Vietnam through partnerships and joint ventures since 2021. These cover more than 115 megawatts of rooftop solar assets to date.

[Media Release] SP expands Marina Bay district cooling network with new partnershipshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/3b73af5c-53ed-4538-9c54-7b6bbc59d343/%5BMedia+Release%5D+SP+expands+Marina+Bay+district+cooling+network+with+new+partnerships.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
News Release SP GROUP EXPANDS MARINA BAY DISTRICT COOLING NETWORK WITH NEW PARTNERSHIPS • 8 Shenton Way, IOI Central Boulevard Towers, 80 Anson Road, Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort Expansion and NS Square, will be connected to the world’s largest underground district cooling network • Sustainable cooling solution helps Marina Bay avoid almost 20,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually Singapore, 20 April 2022 – SP Group (SP) announced that it will be providing its energy efficient district cooling services to five upcoming new and retrofit developments – 8 Shenton Way (formerly AXA Tower), the commercial component of 80 Anson Road (formerly Fuji Xerox Towers), IOI Central Boulevard Towers, Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort Expansion and NS Square – through its Marina Bay District Cooling Network. Marina Bay is planned as a sustainable live-work-play district, and all developments are served by a comprehensive underground network of common services tunnels that houses the district cooling system. 1 The addition of the five developments will further expand the world’s largest underground district cooling network, bringing the total number of buildings served by SP’s Marina Bay operations to 28. SP’s sustainable cooling solution will help the Marina Bay district reduce its carbon emissions by 19,439 tonnes annually while providing the same cool comfort. This is equivalent to removing 17,672 cars off our roads. At an appreciation event held earlier today which marked the expansion of the Marina Bay District Cooling network, Mr Desmond Lee, Minister for National Development and Minister-in-charge of Social Services Integration, presented certificates of appreciation to 1 District cooling in Marina Bay provides centralised cooling to developments in the area. There are two district cooling plants in Marina Bay, both situated underground and seamlessly integrated with the surrounding developments, providing greater reliability of services and allows more efficient use of energy across the district. SP Group operates the district cooling network in Marina Bay. 1 the building owners of the five buildings – City Developments Limited (CDL), IOI Properties, Marina Bay Sands Singapore, NS Square, and Perennial Holdings – affirming their commitment to the sustainable development of our city centre. Through subscribing to district cooling, the new developments will enjoy reliable cooling comfort with the network achieving zero supply interruptions since the Marina Bay District Cooling operations started in 2006. Without the need to invest in their own chillers, the new developments will enjoy a lower initial investment cost compared to a conventional air-conditioning system. The savings on equipment, operating and maintenance costs will also reduce the total cost of ownership by up to 15 per cent. Having centralised chiller plants also frees up prime space for other commercial or lifestyle purposes, potentially increasing asset yield for building owners. SP’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr Stanley Huang, said, “SP Group is the largest district cooling solutions provider in Singapore. With the expanded infrastructure in place, we are pleased to extend the same reliable and sustainable solution to other buildings in Singapore’s core financial district and look forward to welcoming more partners to this network. Together, we can accelerate the development of greener buildings and cities to achieve Singapore’s ambitious sustainability targets.” In addition to the energy savings and the reduction in carbon emissions, developments will also benefit from the centralisation of ownership and maintenance of their cooling systems under a district cooling operator, ensuring optimal operations at all times. SP as the district cooling operator is responsible for meeting the industry sustainability standards. Under the latest BCA Green Mark 2021 (GM: 2021) green building certification scheme, buildings supplied by an external district cooling system (DCS) plant have a dedicated pathway to demonstrate their energy efficiency performance, allowing for a more seamless certification experience. With the inclusion of these new customers, SP will be increasing the capacity of its Marina Bay district cooling network to 70,000 refrigerant tons (RT). It will also add more than two 2 kilometres of underground insulated pipes to the network to cater to the additional demand and cooling capacity. To further enhance the reliability of the network, SP is exploring installing thermal storage tanks in the neighbouring Central Business District to increase the network’s energy storage capacity. These auxiliary chilled water tanks will enable the existing network to significantly reduce its peak load consumption and support future expansion of the cooling network beyond the Marina Bay vicinity. Additional energy storage capacity will also facilitate the incorporation of more renewable energy sources to the grid by mitigating the intermittency of renewables while maintaining grid stability and reliability. The deployment of energy storage systems, such as thermal storage tanks, is in line with government’s energy storage target and vision of a clean and efficient energy future. SP continues to actively engage with potential customers to further expand the Marina Bay district cooling network. It is currently studying the feasibility of M Hotel Singapore, a hotel under the CDL Group, being the first brownfield hotel development to incorporate district cooling in its operations. In addition to the Marina Bay district cooling network, SP is also collaborating with the Housing and Development Board (HDB) to deploy Singapore’s first residential centralised cooling system for up to 22,000 households at the upcoming Tengah housing estate by 2023. SP will also be developing Singapore’s first brownfield, sustainable cooling solution for a town centre at Tampines. When completed, SP will be operating a total 118,500 RTs of cooling capacity through its district cooling networks, extending its lead as the biggest provider of district cooling solutions in Singapore. - Ends - 3 Quotes from new partners Quote from City Developments Limited for 80 Anson Road (formerly Fuji Xerox Towers) “We are delighted for 80 Anson Road’s commercial space to be part of SP Group’s initiative to provide sustainable cooling solutions to the Marina Bay district.

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.
