SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Pushing The Frontiers Of Innovation INNOVATION Brandon Chia, Managing Director of Investments, at SP’s Concept Lab. A former SP cable-jointing workshop at Woodleigh has been upcycled to be the birthplace of cutting-edge discoveries. The 23,000 sq ft site space is repurposed to be SP’s “Concept Lab”, and acts as a collaboration space for its open innovation team of 40 and co-development partners. At the Concept Lab, breakthrough ideas to solve energy challenges faced by SP and corporate customers are refined, tested and co-developed with experts from industry and academia. “We designed and built the part-lab, part-office space from scratch. We have a lab to test new concepts and technologies, and also an office space to see them at work,” explains Brandon Chia, who led the setting up of the lab in 2018. One of the major breakthroughs was a Hydrogen Energy System that powers the first zero-emission building in Southeast Asia. The system uses solar energy to extract hydrogen from water, safely stores the hydrogen and generates electricity when needed. A three-month pilot in 2019 by the team at Concept Lab and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) tackled the perennial problem of staff at one section of an office feeling warm while those in another are wrapped up in sweaters. By using a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence, temperature uniformity was achieved at the SIT’s Dover campus. This microclimate control technology reduced energy usage by more than 30 per cent. Following its success, plans to potentially scale up this technology at the SIT’s campus in Punggol Digital District are underway. “Innovation isn’t simply about new technology, it is also about relooking the business model and figuring out how new ideas can be made commercially viable and sustainable,” he explained.  The SP scholar’s diverse experience since he first joined SP in 2002 helps him consider innovation from different angles. Brandon has held various positions in SP, ranging from operations, regulatory management and risk management to business development, mergers and acquisitions and technology development, in Singapore and Australia. This puts him in good stead for his newly minted role as Managing Director of Investments for SP’s international businesses. Brandon with team members and partners from SIT & 75F [1] at the Concept Lab. “Innovation isn’t simply about new technology, it’s also about relooking the business model and figuring out how new ideas can improve quality of life for customers, be sustainable and commercially viable,” he concluded. — 27 February 2020 [1] A building intelligence solutions provider.

-Contractor-Performance-Management-System-Policy.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/resources/procurement/-Contractor-Performance-Management-System-Policy.pdf
Contractor Performance Management System Introduction 1. With effect from 1 October 2016, Singapore Power Limited and its Singaporeincorporated subsidiaries (SP Group) has implemented the SP Group’s Contractor Performance Management System (CPMS) to strengthen its partnership with and improve the safety and quality performance of its contractors. 2. Through the CPMS, SP Group aims to take a holistic approach to the selection of its contractors as part of enhancing procurement process, by looking at the performance of its contractors at a quarterly and annual basis and not only based at performance at each individual contract basis. The previous demerit scheme in respect of each contract will be abolished while an incentive and mitigation scheme that goes towards enabling contractors to improve their performance on a longer term basis is now implemented. Objectives 3. The objectives of the CPMS are: (a) (b) (c) to adopt a more holistic approach in reviewing contractors’ overall performance; to work with contractors to raise safety and quality standards; and to encourage an environment of continuous improvement by contractors. 4. In order to achieve the above objectives, CPMS will utilise the following 3 main components: (a) (b) (c) Contractor Performance Assessment (CPA); Business Under Surveillance (BUS) Programme; and Tender Evaluation Framework (TEF). SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 1 Applicability 5. The CPMS will be applicable for procurement in relation of the following services and works: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) cable installation, cable jointing and road reinstatement; gas pipe-laying; milling and patching; transmission cable-laying; building and construction; and other road opening-related works (e.g., manhole access works). SP Group intends to broaden the scope of the CPMS to eventually apply the CPMS for procurement of other engineering-related works and services. 6. The CPMS will apply to contracts awarded on or after 1 October 2016 and any ongoing contracts which fall in any of the above categories set out in paragraph 5. All aspects of the CPMS, such as the BUS Programme and rewards and mitigations, will apply to such contracts. Contractor Performance Assessment 7. For each contract, a contractor will be assessed by the relevant SP Group project team in the following four (4) areas: (a) (b) (c) (d) Safety. Quality of Work; Project & Risk Management; and Value Added Services. These scores for each contract (Contract Quarterly Score) will be tabulated at fixed quarterly basis. The individual Contract Quarterly Scores applicable for each contract will then be averaged to derive the Contractor Quarterly Score. SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 2 The criteria have a direct impact on risk mitigation which helps to review the way work activities are planned and executed. The objective of the enhancements is to reduce risk and improve safety at work sites. The PSR shall review the risk identification and mitigation measures to be taken during the design & construction for all contracts within SP Group. Emphasis will be given to the PSR communication to workers through the Risk Management workshops on site. ABSIS will be used to engage with the worker level to improve work processes and create a safer environment to work in. SP Group will assess the contractors’ senior management engagement with their workers through various in-house activities. 8. Examples of the factors taken into consideration in determining the individual Contract Quarterly Score are as follows Safety • Safety Performance • Site Safety Management • Safety Engagement by Management • Project Safety Review (PSR) • Risk Management workshop • Activity Based Safety Improvement System (ABSIS) Quality of Work • Documentation • Workmanship • Any damage to properties Project & Risk Management • Incident management • Cooperativeness • Meeting schedules Value Added Services • Initiatives to improve productivity and efficiency SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 3 9. In addition to the above criteria, SP Group will also take into account the occurrence of any Critical Incidents when determining the Contractor’s Quarterly Score by applying a corresponding adjustment factor to their score. (a) The Critical Incidents includes: Critical Incidents Smoking or open flame in gas installations and electricity transmission substations Not adhering strictly to isolation procedures for live electricity or gas equipment and machinery at site Damage to Transmission Cables / Gas Pipes Damage to Distribution Cables / Gas Pipes Not anchoring safety harness while working at heights exceeding 3 metres Working in a confined space without conducting mandatory gas check Working under suspended load during lifting or excavator operations Fatality or serious injury Where Serious Injury is defined as: Serious Injuries Loss of 2 limbs Loss of both hands or of all fingers and both thumbs Loss of both feet Total loss of sight, including the loss of sight to such extent as to render the employee unable to perform any work for which eyesight is essential Total paralysis Injuries requiring more than 20 days of hospitalization. (Hospitalization refers to the period where injured remains warded in a hospital) Loss of arm at shoulder Loss of arm between elbow and shoulder Injuries resulting in being permanently bedridden Loss of arm at elbow Loss of arm between wrist and elbow SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 4 Loss of hand at wrist Loss of 4 fingers and thumb of one hand Loss of 4 fingers Loss of leg • At or above knee • Below knee Loss of foot Loss of sight of one eye Total loss of hearing (b) The Serious Incidents includes: Serious Incidents Damage to Distribution Cables/ Gas pipes affecting less than or equal to 300 customers Damage to Public assets (e.g., PUB pipes, streetlights) Note: Contractors shall not be penalised for damages to the public assets if it was unavoidable due to Authorities’ drawings that provided inaccurate factual information and the Contractor’s detection works did not provide better information. 10. At the end of each quarter, SP Group will provide each contractor a grade relative to their score to provide them timely information on their performance. The names and grades for each contractor scored in each quarter shall be available on the SP Group corporate website. 11. In the event the Contractor’s Quarterly Score is lower than 50, the contractor will be suspended from participating in any new procurement activities for the next 3 months. In the event of an occurrence of a fatality or serious injury at his work site, the main contractor and its subcontractor will be suspended from participating in any new procurement activities for 12 months from the incident date. The suspended contractors and their subsidiaries are also not allowed to apply to be sub-contractors for any SP Group contracts during the suspension period. SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 5 12. The Contractor Quarterly Scores will be aggregated on an annual basis [Contractor Annual Score]. Contractors must have at least two (2) Contractor Quarterly Scores to be included for the Contractor Annual Score computation. 13. At the end of each Assessment Year, the 5 contractors with the highest Contractor Annual Score for the year will be given an incentive of 2% of the total annual value of their respective contracts capped at $100,000.00 per year per contractor. The annual value of each contract is computed as follows: where: ACV is the annual value of a contract; ACV = A X B A is the Contract Sum divided by the Contract Period [weeks]; and B is the number of weeks [or part thereof] where Works carried out in that year under that contract. 14. The 2 contractors with the lowest annual scores will be subjected to a penalty deduction to their PQS scores in all subsequent SP Group tenders published during the next Assessment Year. In addition, they would also have to comply with performance improvement requirements specified by SP Group to address areas of deficiency. SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 6 Business Under Surveillance (BUS) Programme 15. The BUS Programme is an educational and correctional tool aimed to partner contractors to address safety and quality issues encountered by contractors in the course of their work for the SP Group and in the longer term help improve their safety and quality standards. The BUS Programme and will be activated in the following situations: (a) (b) Occurrence of any Critical Incident; and/or 3 or more safety inspections at the project sites where major safety-related non-conformances (safety non-conformance) are observed. 16. In the event of the activation of the BUS Programme, the Contractor will be required to undergo the activities as follows: 17. Stopping work at the affected site[s] during a BUS Programme is important to allow contractors to review its safety practices and focus on its operational methods and processes with the aim of preventing further incidents from occurring again. 18. If the contractor placed on a BUS Programme is unable to meet the exit requirements at the end of the 5 th week, a further 2 weeks extension will be granted. If the contractor is still unable to meet the exit requirements at the end of the 7 th week, the contractor will be placed on a second BUS Programme to address the failure of the first BUS Programme. SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 7 19. In the event the contractor is placed on the BUS Programme more than 2 times in a calendar quarter, the contractor will be suspended from participating in any new procurement activities for the next three months. The suspended contractors and their subsidiaries are also not allowed to apply to be sub-contractors for any SP Group contracts during the suspension period. 20. From 1 Apr 2023, Contractor shall not be under MOM’s Business Under Surveillance programme (BUS) OR not accumulated 25 or more demerit points under MOM’s DPS as at the Tender Closing Date and before the Tender Award Date. Tender Evaluation Framework 21. The CPMS adopts a tender evaluation framework that comprises the following 3 Stages: 22. Stage 1 (SET) aims to inculcate a mindset of safety being the highest priority among our contractors, by selecting only likeminded contractors who have adequate safety management system and track records to work on our projects. Contractors who meet the SET requirements will be pre-qualified to participate in SP Group’s tenders for works described in paragraph 5 above. Once such pre-qualification is granted by SP to the contractors, it shall be valid for the entire Assessment Year. Any contractor which fails the Stage 1 assessment can apply for re-assessment at the start of new calendar quarter after being notified of its failure to pre-qualify. SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 8 23. In the subsequent Stage 2 and 3 of the evaluation of bids submitted for CPMS applicable tenders, each bidder’s Contractor Quarterly scores over the past 2 years will be taken into account to determine the successful bidder. Where a bidder does not have sufficient records of past Contractor Quarterly Scores (e.g. new contractors) a default score will be used instead. Amendments and FAQs 24. SP Group may modify the CPMS at any time and such amendments shall be deemed immediately applicable to the contracts that are ongoing at the time of such amendments. Contractors are strongly encouraged to check https://www.spgroup.com.sg/doing-business-with-us/procurement for amendments, updates and FAQs relating to the CPMS. 25.

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 License, 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 Town 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. 1 Town Gas Connection Policy and Procedure Updated on: 1 Apr 24 Page 2 1.3 Definitions The following terms shall have the following meanings when used in this document. “Authority” means the Energy Market Authority of Singapore established under the Energy Market Authority of Singapore Act (Cap.92B); “Gas Transporter” or “Transporter” means a representative holding a gas transporter’s license; “Gas Retailer” or “Retailer” means a person who supplies gas to Retail Customers and who holds a Retailer’s license; “Gas Shipper” or “Shipper” means a person holding a gas shipper’s license; “Gas Network Code” refers to the Gas Network Code issued by the Authority, setting out common terms and conditions between the Gas Transporter and Shippers who engage the Gas Transporter to transport natural gas though the gas pipeline network. “DR” known as designated representative means a professional engineer or a licensed gas service worker appointed by the developer or a responsible person for the premises; “PE” known as professional engineer means any person who is registered as a professional engineer in the mechanical engineering discipline under the Professional Engineers Act (Cap. 253); “LGSW” known as licensed gas service worker” means a person who is licensed under section 12 (3) of the Gas Act (Chapter 116A); “gas service work” means any work carried out on any gas installation or gas appliance, in whole or in part, including any design, construction, installation, commissioning, erection, testing, repair, addition, alteration or maintenance work; “gas service isolation valve (“GSIV”)” means a valve, located at or near the boundary line of any property or the apron of any building, used by a gas transporter to isolate the supply of gas to that property or building; “gas service pipe” means a pipe or any part thereof, other than a gas main, used for the purpose of conveying gas from a gas main to a gas service isolation valve, and includes any pipe owned by, or under the management or control of, a gas transporter which is used for the purpose of conveying gas from the gas service isolation valve to the meter at a consumer’s premises as defined in the Gas Act (Chapter 116A); “gas fitting” includes any pipe, valve, meter, regulator or other device for the control, measurement and use of gas as defined in the Gas Act (Chapter 116A); 2 Town Gas Connection Policy and Procedure Updated on: 1 Apr 24 Page 3 “Gas installation” means a discrete grouping of gas fittings linking a gas service pipe to a gas appliance as defined in the Gas Act (Chapter 116A); “Gas Meter Control Valve” means a valve at the inlet of any meter used for the purpose of turning on or off a supply of gas through such meter to any gas installation as defined in the Gas (Supply) Regulations; “Meter Installation” means any meter and its associated equipment and installation including associated pipework, filter, valve, pressure regulating equipment, seal, housing, mounting, telemetry equipment, gas chromatograph and flow computer 1.4 Codes of Practices and Regulatory Requirements This connection procedure shall be read in conjunction with the provisions in the Gas Act, Gas (Supply) Regulations, Gas (Metering) Regulations, Gas Supply Code, Gas Metering Code, Singapore Standard, SS608 – Code of Practice for Gas Installation and relevant Retailer’s Handbook of Gas Supply, where applicable.

[20200904] The Business Times - SP Group steps up regional 'green' gamehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:f81a482b-007a-4fea-b4a6-7769ee64732d
2 | TOP STORIES The Business Times | Friday, September 4, 2020 SP Group steps up regional ‘green’ game National utility is pinning its hopes on sustainable energy solutions division set up less than a year ago; it is undeterred by pandemic-led fall in energy demand By Anita Gabriel anitag@sph.com.sg @AnitaGabrielBT Singapore Mr Huang says: “SP is not just a power grid company. This (green solutions) is what we want to do. We want to help create a low-carbon smart energy Singapore and then export the solution overseas and become a regional champion.” BT PHOTO: GIN TAY SINGAPORE’s national utility SP Group expects to post a 5-10 per cent decline from the S$1 billion it earned in net profit after tax (NPAT) last year owing to widespread shutdowns to combat the Covid-19 pandemic that hurt demand from energy-guzzling businesses, said its head honcho. “For big businesses, the drop in their (electricity) demand was the biggest in the history of the company (in terms of volume). Demand from this segment has always been there – worst case, maybe it has risen by half a per cent in the past,” said SP’s group chief executive Stanley Huang in an interview with The Business Times. Mr Huang, who was the utility company’s chief financial officer since 2015, took over the reins of Singapore’s utility giant in July from Wong Kim Yin, who was tapped for the top job at another Temasek Holdingslinked firm, Sembcorp Industries. According to data from the Energy Market Authority (EMA), overall electricity demand in May plunged 11 per cent from a year ago as a result of the enhanced “circuit breaker” measures. Businesses and households make up 85 per cent and 15 per cent respectively of the proportion of total electricity consumption in the city-state. Notwithstanding the drop in demand, Mr Huang said the profit impact won’t be material, partly due to some cost savings as a lot of activities were held back by the shutdown. In the bigger scheme of things, the expected decline in the bottom line is in line with the group’s annual profit variance of between 3 and 9 per cent in recent years. SP Group has made an average NPAT of S$980.5 million over the past five years. For the financial year ended March 2020, NPAT rose nearly 4 per cent to S$1.02 billion while the firm’s asset base stood at S$20 billion – up S$425 million – from a year ago. The utility group reported a revenue of S$4.2 billion, 4 per cent lower than the previous year. A bulk or 80 per cent of bottomline is driven by the traditional “breadand-butter” business – operating the national grid and providing market services such as billing and meter reading for 1.6 million households and businesses here. The overseas segment, chiefly Down Under where SP owns stakes in firms which distribute electricity and gas in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory, accounted for 20 per cent of profit, according to Mr Huang. The utility giant has now set its heart on becoming a regional power player by expanding its low-carbon, smart energy agenda at its home base and abroad. “Currently, our overseas portfolio is less than 5 per cent of our business. Ten years from now, while the Singapore market should still be a major component, it should be around 50-60 per cent,” he said. SP’s regional hopes, for now, involve Australia and China, where it already has a presence, and Vietnam and Indonesia. In Singapore, SP has been operating the world’s largest underground cooling network in Marina Bay since 2006 and has invested around S$250 million in the plant. According to Mr Huang, the buildings in the area save up to 40 per cent of energy needs. Indeed, cooling is one of the fastest growing uses of electricity. In the citystate, air-conditioning makes up half of a commercial building’s energy consumption. But apart from commercial buildings, the utility is eyeing greenfield projects in HDBs and campuses too; it already provides centralised cooling to some 100 blocks in Singapore’s Tengah housing estate. SP is pinning its hopes on its sustainable energy soluti`ons division that was set up less than a year ago to raise its green game. Mr Huang remarked: “Our intent is to grow this third pillar of our business by 10 times in 10 years.” Steady steps have already been made. Staff strength under this unit has grown from 50 to 200, albeit a far cry from its labour-intensive core business of grid operations and market services which employ over 3,000. Unsurprisingly, China – the world’s leader in sustainable investment – is at the front and centre of its overseas goals. On Monday, SP inked an agreement with Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City Investment and Development Co (GKC) – a joint venture between CapitaLand and the Guangzhou Development District Administrative Committee – to develop district cooling, heating and integrated energy solutions. This marks SP’s second foray in China, the first one being Raffles City in Chongqing where SP has been operating a cooling and heating system since September 2019 which has cut energy consumption by 40 per cent. In Vietnam, SP is hoping to be a first mover and has set up an office in Ho Chi Minh City to court sustainable energy solutions projects. Mr Huang remarked: “We finally nailed it down. SP is not just a power grid company. This (green solutions) is what we want to do. We want to help create a low-carbon smart energy Singapore and then export the solution overseas and become a regional champion.” On Singapore’s Open Electricity Market (OEM), Mr Huang said one of two households have switched out of SP – the incumbent – to one of the 12 electricity retailers and reckoned that the switch rates are unlikely to swing by much from current levels. “That’s my best guess,” he added. Based on EMA data, as at March this year, the switch rate stood at 46 per cent. As for SP’s wholesale electricity price (WEP) product, because the utility had not marketed the plan which offers to power up households at attractive rates, he said the awareness was “quite low” and that it has drawn “very little traction” apart from the group’s employees.

News Release SURBANA JURONG CAMPUS TO HOUSE SOUTHEAST ASIA’S LARGEST ELECTRICAL VEHICLE CHARGING HUB • Surbana Jurong partners SP Group to make EV chargers available at up to 250 lots in tandem with market demand Singapore, 6 June 2022 – Surbana Jurong has entered into an agreement with SP Group (SP) to install electric vehicle (EV) charging points at Surbana Jurong Campus, the group’s new global headquarters located in the Jurong Innovation District (JID). This public EV charging hub will eventually allow up to 250 drivers to park and charge their vehicles at a time. When completed, the on-campus EV charging hub is expected to be the largest in Southeast Asia. At launch, Surbana Jurong and SP will install a mix of nine fast and slow charging points and ramp up to 36 charging points within the next 18 months. Upon completion of the initial 36 charging points, the two parties have agreed to progress the installation of more chargers in tandem with market demand for electric vehicles. Making potentially 250 parking lots at Surbana Jurong Campus EV-ready involves building the required electrical infrastructure at the outset, with a view to a 100% EV future. To charge, EV drivers simply need to download the SP app. This will enable them to seamlessly locate the nearest available charging point, charge, track the charging progress and make payment. SP operates Singapore’s largest public fast-charging EV network with over 500 charging points across more than 100 locations, including shopping malls, commercial buildings, business parks, industrial sites, residential and attractions islandwide. Surbana Jurong Campus is set to be a “work-live-play” destination for employees and the wider community in JID. Beyond serving as an office, it will offer F&B and retail options, community and sports offerings, and childcare facilities. The charging hub will meet the EV charging needs of SJ’s employees and tenants at the campus, as well as the wider EV 1 community in the West region. SJ’s long-term mobility vision includes an all-electric vehicle plan for all vehicles that ply the campus. Mr Wong Heang Fine, Group CEO, Surbana Jurong said, “In designing our new home, we are committed to playing our part to achieve the Singapore Green Plan. Providing electric vehicle charging points is one step to help drivers shift from internal combustion engines to more sustainable vehicles. For the majority who take public transport, we have designed a multi-modal mobility programme that prioritises a car-lite approach, working with partners on a range of smart commuting solutions that complement public transport options and park connector networks.” Group CEO of SP Group, Mr Stanley Huang said, “We aim to accelerate the adoption of electro-mobility in Singapore to support the nation’s net-zero emissions goal. Establishing an extensive, accessible, convenient and reliable EV charging network and charging experience will provide confidence for the transition to take place at scale. We are pleased to partner SJ as we expand our charging network and solutions to meet demand as well as lifestyle habits of EV drivers.” Surbana Jurong campus is designed to meet Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority’s Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy) building certification. As a living lab, the campus will pilot a wide range of sustainable solutions including onsite photovoltaics generating over 300MWH annually, 100 per cent green area replacement and a selfshading façade that maximises natural light while reducing solar heat gain. - Ends - 2 Annex: Photograph Artist’s impression of Surbana Jurong Campus (credit: Safdie Surbana Jurong) 3 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.

Grab Invests In New Electric Vehicle Fleet Enabled By SP Group’s Fast-Charging DC Networkhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Grab-Invests-In-New-Electric-Vehicle-Fleet-Enabled-By-SP-Group-s-Fast-Charging-DC-Network
Media Release Grab Invests In New Electric Vehicle Fleet Enabled By SP Group’s Fast-Charging DC Network Singapore, 23 August 2018 – Grab and SP Group (SP) today announced a strategic partnership in which Grab will bring in 200 new fast-charging electric vehicles (EVs) and use SP's pervasive fast-charging network. This will deliver greater cost savings for driver-partners. The new fleet will be progressively rolled out in Singapore from early 2019. Driver-partners on this new model will enjoy preferential EV charging rates from SP, at all their charging stations islandwide. With the cost benefits offered by EVs, they can expect to earn up to 25% more in daily income compared to those on a regular petrol vehicle and up to 20% more daily income compared to a hybrid vehicle.1 This announcement marks SP’s first fleet partnership since it unveiled plans in June to build Singapore’s largest and fastest public EV charging network. SP has committed to build 500 publicly accessible charging points, comprising both DC (direct current) and AC (alternating current) chargers by 2020. Grab and SP will study EV usage patterns and behaviours to improve the accessibility and utilisation of EV charging stations. SP plans to install its charging points in convenient locations, many within close-proximity to coffee-shops and food outlets. This will allow Grab driver-partners to match their charging time with meal and driving breaks. "We have heard from our driver-partners that a faster charge time and longer EV driving range are important considerations for them when making the switch to EVs. We have taken their feedback on board and have negotiated the best deals to bring them concrete savings and the best vehicle model to cater to their driving needs. We are proud and happy to partner with SP, which has a long history of serving Singaporeans. With SP joining our consortium of EV partners, Grab is in a unique position to help drive a cleaner, greener Singapore by encouraging more of our drivers to adopt EVs. Grab operates the largest electric and hybrid vehicle fleet in Southeast Asia today, and we are committed to delivering the benefits from EVs to more of our driver-partners,” said Lim Kell Jay, Head of Grab Singapore. “We are pleased to enable the success of Grab’s electrification efforts through our plans to launch Singapore’s largest public electric vehicle charging network. The pervasive fast-charging network will provide Grab’s EV drivers with convenience and speed in charging their vehicles, while helping them to achieve energy and cost savings. This will accelerate the wider adoption of EVs in Singapore and support the nation’s efforts to reduce our carbon footprint,” said Mr Goh Chee Kiong, Head, Strategic Development, SP Group. Commenting on the partnership, Grab driver-partner Jason Ryan, said: “This new partnership will give me access to more charging locations island-wide, allowing me flexibility to plan my day. I am also excited to try out the new fast-charging EVs which will let me maximise my time on the road and increase my overall income.” Specific details on pricing of charging facilities and EV models will be disclosed towards the end of the year when SP Group is expected to set up the first 30 charging points. New EV fleet to hit the roads in 2019 With a sporty style and spacious interior that will appeal to Grab driver-partners, the new EV model boasts an estimated range of 400km per charge. Driver-partners only need approximately 40 minutes at SP’s high-speed DC charging points for a full day’s worth of driving on the Grab platform. In addition, some of SP Group’s venue partners will offer discounted parking to EV drivers using SP’s charging network. This partnership provides Grab driver-partners with greater time and cost savings, maximising their daily income. Grab today operates the largest network of environmentally friendly vehicles such as EVs and hybrid vehicles in Southeast Asia and plans to further expand its electric mobility fleet. Grab and SP Group believe in the impact of EVs on improving the overall health and liveability of cities. With a pervasive charging network and growing investments in EV, Singapore is one step closer to meeting its sustainability goals. - End - About Grab Grab is one of the most frequently used O2O mobile platforms in Southeast Asia, providing the everyday services that matter most to consumers.
