bizSAFE CONVENTION 2015 C15 Spreading the message SP PowerGrid encourages its partners to make safety a priority by hazel tan SINCE becoming a bizSAFE Partner in 2010, SP Power- Grid has proactively recruited its contractors and subcontractors to join the bizSAFE programme. SP PowerGrid is a subsidiary of the Singapore Power Group. Established in 2003, it manages Singapore’s electricity and gas transmission and distribution networks, and has more than 1.4 million industrial, commercial and residential customers. “We value the safety of our contractor workers just as highly as that of our employees. We set safety targets for our contractors and work closely with them to make sure those targets are met,” says Mr Peter Leong (right), managing director of SP PowerGrid. “We conduct dialogues with contractors and collaborate with them to identify activities where the safety risk exposure is relatively higher,” he adds. For example, upon identifying that workers face a higher risk of leg injuries when working in the vicinity of heavy machinery — such as excavators and milling and patching machines — during roadwork, SP PowerGrid invested in rear-view cameras and additional mirrors to mitigate the risks and ensure workers operating these machines do not injure fellow workers when reversing. It also installed alarms, whose constant beeping alerts surrounding workers that the machines are in operation. “We will be installing closed-circuit television cameras to monitor critical worksites 24/7 to identify and rectify unsafe practices and to encourage safe behaviour in workers. “This would also facilitate the learning and sharing of incidents and near-misses,” adds Mr Leong. Training contractors In addition to operational measures, SP PowerGrid has developed its own Safety@SPPG programme for contractors’ workers, educating them on, say, how they should go about doing some common tasks safely. “One key example is roadwork. To ensure workers understand the material, we conduct the course in the native language of workers who are less conversant in English. “Since the launch of the programme in July last year, we have trained more than 1,500 workers,” says Mr Leong. Becoming a contractor or subcontractor for SP PowerGrid requires at least bizSAFE Level 4 certification. To date, SP PowerGrid has partnered with 134 of its contractors, and helped them obtain at least bizSAFE Level 4 certification. This commitment to contractor workers’ safety has earned SP PowerGrid the bizSAFE Partner Award for the first time this year. The award, presented by the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council, recognises companies that have achieved commendable WSH performances. Mr Leong says: “Singapore Power constantly engages the public on safety issues and formulates safety measures in consultation with community stakeholders. “Before commencing on construction works at our cable tunnel sites, for example, our project officers embarked on months of intensive door-to-door engagement with nearby residents and schools,” he says. The feedback received helps his team finalise safety measures that will protect both workers as well as the community at large, he adds. SP PowerGrid has developed its own Safety@SPPG programme that addresses safety issues on common tasks contractors’ workers carry out. PHOTOS: SINGAPORE POWER

Media Release SP Group Partners CapitaLand to Deploy Distributed District Cooling Network at Geneo Cluster In Singapore Science Park Singapore, 27 May 2024 – SP Group (SP) and CapitaLand Group (CapitaLand) today announced a partnership to deploy a distributed district cooling network at the new life sciences and innovation cluster in Singapore Science Park. SP will provide centralised energy-efficient chilled water for air-conditioning to the Geneo cluster, which comprises three business park properties targeting full completion in 2025. In line with CapitaLand’s design brief, SP will be operating the distributed district cooling network at an energy efficiency level that is about 14 per cent higher than conventional in-building cooling systems and the National Environment Agency (NEA)’s Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) for water-cooled chilled water systems in industrial facilities. This will allow the cluster to abate at least 20,000 tonnes of carbon emissions over the 30-year operating period, akin to removing more than 600 cars from our roads annually. SP will own, operate and maintain two chiller plants, which are interconnected and will supply chilled water to the five buildings across 1, 5 and 7 Science Park Drive through a series of interlinked pipe networks. The distributed district cooling network will thereby enhance supply reliability and resilience for the building cluster. When fully operational in 2025, SP will operate a total cooling capacity of 10,400 refrigeration tons (RT) at Science Park. Mr S. Harsha, SP Group’s Managing Director for Sustainable Energy Solutions, Singapore, said: “District cooling is a pivotal solution to enable a heat-resilient and sustainable future for Singapore. From commercial districts to industrial projects, we are now helping business parks and clusters achieve their sustainability targets through innovative applications of district cooling. We look forward to working closely with CapitaLand to operate greener districts for Singapore.” In addition to district cooling, the Geneo cluster features an accordion-shape facade that helps to block out sunlight, the use of photovoltaic solar panels to generate renewable energy and abundant greenery to reduce the urban heat island effect. These sustainability features have helped the Geneo cluster to achieve top green building certifications, namely Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy for 7 Science Park Drive and Green Mark Platinum for 1 and 5 Science Park Drive. Mr Tan Yew Chin, Chief Executive Officer, CapitaLand Development (Singapore), said: “Science Park 1, where Geneo is located, is the first business park and one of only two existing districts in Singapore to have received recertification for BCA Green Mark Platinum for Districts conferred by the Building and Construction Authority. Deploying a distributed district cooling network at Geneo is part of our strategy to sustain the green operations of Science Park, in line with our goal of achieving a resource-efficient and climate-resilient portfolio.” SP is the biggest provider of district cooling solutions in Singapore, with a total cooling capacity of 203,000 RT in operation and secured through its district cooling networks. Besides the collaboration on district cooling, SP has partnered with CapitaLand to install 34 electric vehicle charging points across seven properties at Science Park to drive green mobility adoption. -Ends-

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.

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.
