SP Group To Build Singapore's Largest Public Electric Vehicle Charging Networkhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-To-Build-Singapore-s-Largest-Public-Electric-Vehicle-Charging-Network
Media Release SP Group To Build Singapore's Largest Public Electric Vehicle Charging Network 500 publicly accessible charging points at convenient locations across Singapore by 2020 • SP announces two tenders for the charging hardware and installation. First batch of 30 charging points to be in operation later this year Singapore, 19 June 2018 – In a boost for electric vehicle adoption in Singapore, SP Group (SP) has announced plans to launch Singapore’s largest public electric vehicle charging network, with 500 charging points nation-wide by 2020. EV users can conveniently access the charging points at locations such as shopping malls, residential areas, business parks and industrial sites. The first batch of 30 charging points will be in operation by end 2018. SP also announced the launch of two tenders for the electric vehicle charging network. The tenders are for the procurement of charging hardware for both AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) chargers, and for the installation of the chargers. Singapore is regarded as an ideal environment for EVs as it is highly urbanised and compact. This pervasive charging network will plug a critical gap in scaling up EV adoption in Singapore by reducing range anxiety in EV drivers. To ensure that the charging network is accessible and convenient for public usage, SP is developing a mobile app that will allow EV users to make payment electronically and receive real-time information such as the location and availability of charging points, and automated updates on charging duration. “SP Group is committed to delivering a high-quality, sustainable lifestyle for our customers. Our nation-wide electric vehicle charging network will encourage greater adoption of green mobility, and support Singapore’s sustainability goals,” said Mr Wong Kim Yin, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group. The island-wide network will be fully compliant with Singapore’s national charging standards and comprise both AC and DC chargers, with power ratings ranging from 22kW to 50kW. Of the 500 charging points, more than 100 will be 50kW-DC charging points, a fast charge technology that can fully charge an EV in as little as 30 minutes. This network will significantly boost the number of DC chargers in Singapore which has fewer than five DC chargers today. Compared to vehicles with an internal combustion engine (ICE), EVs offer lower operating costs in terms of energy and maintenance, and a cleaner ride with zero tailpipe emissions. Each EV is able to about halve the carbon emissions from a comparable ICE car after factoring in Singapore’s power generation profile, thereby contributing to Singapore’s climate change mitigation commitments. The quieter EVs also contribute to reducing noise pollution. SP Group’s electric vehicle journey commenced back in 2016, when it started to convert its entire vehicle fleet to electric vehicles. This involved the development of capabilities to operate an internal charging network that will now be scaled up for the roll out of a nation-wide public charging network in Singapore. Parties interested to have SP install chargers at their premises can contact SP Group at emobility@spgroup.com.sg. About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

[20210423] The Straits Times Online - Singapore firms roll out green finance initiativeshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:5e1f4fea-71d0-4526-bf33-ab605158f4c9
THE STRAITS TIMES Singapore firms roll out green finance initiatives DBS, Singtel and Razer are among some of the companies that announced initiatives. PHOTOS: ST FILE, LIM YAOHUI, RAZER Ovais Subhani PUBLISHED APR 22, 2021, 9:27 PM SGT SINGAPORE - A string of Singapore-based companies announced sustainable finance initiatives on Earth Day on Thursday (April 22). A Singtel subsidiary launched its first sustainability-linked revolving credit facility of $750 million. The telco said the credit facility - it permits an account holder to borrow money repeatedly up to a set limit while repaying in instalments - was the largest Singapore-dollardenominated sustainability-linked loan made here. DBS, OCBC and UOB will provide the three-year loan that features interest rate discounts pegged to pre-determined environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets in areas such as climate risk, carbon management, and workplace health and safety metrics. Singtel chief financial officer Arthur Lang said the financing initiative is under the firm's new programme called Olives. "Under Olives, we will potentially launch other ESG-related loans and green bonds in future," he added. "Having long integrated sustainability across our business, we are taking the crucial next step of extending this to our financing strategy as we continue to hold ourselves accountable for making a positive impact on society." Singtel has reduced the carbon intensity of its business by more than 70 per cent over the past five years. In March last year, it implemented a solar panel installation at Bedok Data Centre that generates 2,059MWh (megawatt-hours) of clean energy a year, equivalent to powering 462 HDB flats for a month. Power utility SP Group said it has established a green financing framework and secured its maiden green loan of $100 million from DBS, OCBC and UOB on a bilateral basis. Under the framework, SP and its subsidiaries will be able to issue green financing instruments to finance or refinance eligible projects in four areas: clean transport, energy efficiency, renewable energy and green buildings.

It also announced a seed investment into a sustainable products start-up called The Nurturing. Razer said the financing and the investment were in line with a 10-year sustainability road map announced last month as part of its GoGreenWithRazer initiative.

General Information 1.1 Purpose of this Document PowerGas is licensed by the Energy Market Authority (“Authority”) to be the Gas Transporter (“Transporter”) which owns, operates, and maintains the piped gas network in Singapore. SP PowerGrid (“SPPG”) is licensed by the Authority to be the Gas Transporter Agent to operate and maintain the piped gas network in Singapore on behalf of PowerGas. SPPG’s gas business is to plan, design, operate and maintain gas network assets in a manner that supports the delivery of safe, reliable, efficient, and quality services to customers. Under the Gas Transporter Licence, the Gas Transporter has to develop separate fees and charges for separate gas transportation services such as connection services and transportation services. This document sets out the connection policy and procedure for Natural Gas supply. 1.2 Singapore Gas Transportation System PowerGas owns an extensive gas transmission and distribution network throughout Singapore. The network is generally buried underground and transports natural gas to the western and northern parts of Singapore, and town gas to the whole of Singapore. The gas assets comprise the transmission network (operating at higher pressures), which forms the main reticulation backbone and the distribution network (operating at lower pressures). • Town gas is manufactured in Senoko Gasworks and delivered to approximately 900,000 customers in Singapore. The customers are made up of industrial, commercial, and residential gas users. Residential customers consist mainly of gas users from HDB, condominiums and landed premises. The town gas transmission network operates at 3 barg whereas the distribution network operates at pressure regimes ranging from 1 kPa to 50 kPa. Natural gas is supplied to about 200 customers and is imported from four sources (two submarine pipelines from Indonesia, one submarine pipeline from Malaysia and internationally through the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal). Under the Gas Network Code, Gas Shippers/Retailers represent the customers that are connected to the natural gas networks. These natural gas customers are typically commercial or industrial and include all power stations. The natural gas transmission network operates mainly at two pressure regimes, 28 barg and 40 barg, and the distribution network operates at pressure regimes ranging from 3 barg to 6 barg.

Charges 4.1 Connection Policy The cost to connect a customer’s gas installation or gas fitting to the Transporter’s gas pipeline network varies from case-to-case, due to the proximity of the customer’s location and the cost of the materials and services required for the gas connection. Where possible, the Transporter will envisage to propose the most cost-effective connection to the applicant. 4.2 Connection Charge The connection charge payable for all gas connection applications is the sum of the project cost less the deductible cost, subject to a minimum connection charge of zero. The description of each of the cost components are shown below. (1) Project cost All costs related to the provision of gas connection from the Transporter’s gas pipeline network to the GSIV, including the Meter Installation (where applicable). (2) Deductible cost The Transporter’s investment value based on the committed gas demand from the applicant for the new gas connection. For distribution connections, the investment value is derived based on the net present value of the 5-Year revenue of the average consumption for each consumption category (see Appendix 8). For transmission connections, the connection charges are calculated individually on a case-bycase basis. In addition, a Last Mile Connection Charge (“LMCC”) will be levied to recover the cost of the “last mile” connection of the gas installation to the GSIV from the applicant. The natural gas transmission/distribution connection deductible cost, LMCC and unit rates used in the determination of the transmission/distribution pipeline estimated capital investment shall be reviewed and adjusted when deemed necessary by the Transporter. The Transporter reserves the right to review the connection charge paid for any new connection and seek reimbursement for the first 5 years under-recovered revenue from the Shipper/Retailer if the actual gas consumption after 5 years of operation is more than 10% below the projected gas demand declared during application.
