Media Release COVID-19: Suspension of Manual Reading of Utilities Meters Singapore, 7 April 2020 – While you stay home, SP Group will continue to provide essential services such as operating the national power grid and delivering electricity and gas supply to you. Our officers also continue to be on standby 24/7 to attend to any electricity/gas supply disruption. To protect you and our staff, our meter readers will not be visiting your premises to check your electricity, water and gas meters to record your monthly utilities consumption during the Circuit Breaker period, in line with safe distancing measures outlined by the Singapore government. The earliest appointment to close a utilities account will be available from 2 June onwards. We advise all customers to minimise scheduling appointments to open a utilities account during this period. For those without advanced electricity meters, your April and May utilities consumption will be based on an estimated amount and the difference will be adjusted in your subsequent bills. Alternatively, you can submit your own meter readings conveniently through the SP Utilities mobile app, SP Utilities Portal, Whatsapp, Email or the SP Customer Service Hotline via the automated option. -Ends- About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

The electricity tariff consists of the following four components: a) Energy costs (paid to the generation companies): This component is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the cost of fuel and power generation. The fuel cost is the cost of imported natural gas, which is tied to oil prices by commercial contracts. The cost of power generation covers mainly the costs of operating the power stations, such as the manpower and maintenance costs, as well as the capital cost of the stations. b) Network costs (paid to SP PowerAssets): This fee is reviewed annually. This is to recover the cost of transporting electricity through the power grid. c) Market Support Services Fee (paid to SP Services): This fee is reviewed annually. This is to recover the costs of billing and meter reading, data management, retail market systems as well as for market development initiatives. d) Market Administration and Power System Operation Fee (paid to Energy Market Company and Power System Operator): This fee is reviewed annually to recover the costs of operating the electricity wholesale market and power system.

Chinahttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:776a42e9-9358-4556-b1f4-544957259bb1 SP Group partners CapitaLand JV to develop energy-saving solutions in China By Fiona Lam fiolam@sph.com.sg @FionaLamBT Singapore NATIONAL power grid operator SP Group and Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City Investment and Development Co (GKC) will develop district cooling, heating and integrated energy solutions in China. These will help GKC’s greenfield master development, the China- Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City (CSGKC), achieve energy savings. GKC is a joint-venture (JV) company established by CapitaLand and the Guangzhou Development District Administrative Committee. In a press statement on Monday, SP Group announced it had signed an agreement with GKC to set up a JV. This also marks SP Group’s foray into southern China. As part of the agreement, the two parties are working together to develop district cooling and heating solutions for the Knowledge Tower project at the Jiulong lake area, for a start. They will invest in, construct and operate these solutions centred on the smart micro-grids layout, said GKC’s chief executive officer (CEO) Chen Changxin. SP Group and GKC will also integrate sustainable energy solutions, such as distributed energy, energy storage, energy efficiency and energy management systems. These solutions could be extended to other projects in the Sino- Singapore International Technology Innovation Cooperation Demonstration Area within CSGKC, to provide energy and cost savings to more customers. “This will translate to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future for CSGKC and Guangzhou city,” SP Group said in the statement. The energy utilities group’s CEO Stanley Huang noted that its technology and operations at Raffles City Chongqing in China and the Marina Bay financial district in Singapore have helped customers achieve cost savings, and reduce energy consumption. At CapitaLand’s Raffles City Chongqing, SP Group operates its advanced energy-efficient cooling and heating system, which began operations in September last year. This has enabled the mixed-use complex to cut energy consumption by more than 40 per cent, compared to conventional chiller plants for buildings. SP Group also designed and has been operating the underground district cooling system at the Marina Bay financial district since 2006. GKC’s Mr Chen said that GKC is “an important platform for China- Singapore collaboration”. “It is a milestone for us to jointly establish a joint venture to develop the smart energy business,” he added. CapitaLand shares fell S$0.01 or 0.4 per cent to close at S$2.77 on Monday. 2.-Business-Times-Online---SP-Group--Frasers-Property-team-up-for-green-project-in-Vietnam-Industrial-Park.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2023/2.-Business-Times-Online---SP-Group--Frasers-Property-team-up-for-green-project-in-Vietnam-Industrial-Park.pdf ASEAN Business Global Enterprise SP Group, Frasers Property team up for green project in Vietnam industrial park Mia Pei Published Thu, Aug 24, 2023 · 4:17 pm Brandon Chia (second from left), managing director, sustainability energy solutions for South-east Asia and Australia, SP Group; and Lim Hua Tiong (third from left), CEO of Frasers Property Vietnam, at the MOU signing ceremony.

Reliabilityhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/energy-hub/reliability/eye-on-the-grid SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Eye on the Grid RELIABILITY Mr Tan Teck Wee, Head, Distribution Control & Customer Service (standing), with Principal Operation Officer Ghazali Bin Mohamed Rahim in the Distribution Control Centre. The ringing of Tan Teck Wee’s phone at 1.20am jolted him from his sleep. There was a blackout affecting several areas. In the 30 minutes that Teck Wee, head of SP Group’s Distribution Control & Customer Service, took to get to the control centre at Ayer Rajah, work was already under way to bring supply back up. As the central nervous system of Singapore’s power distribution network, red-coded alarms on the dashboard showed the affected locations. On one wall, screens displayed incident alerts, digital maps and data on energy demand from the 11,000 substations and over 27,000km of cables that make up Singapore’s electricity grid. With various teams working together, power was restored within a few minutes, and Teck Wee was soon on his way home. A 25-year SP veteran, Teck Wee is on standby 24/7. He oversees the work of 95 staff. Apart from the 15 staff who man the control centre around the clock, team members from the Electricity Service Centre receive calls from customers and mobilise officers to attend to supply disruption.  Emergency response makes up the bulk of his team’s work, even if most problems are solved before customers are impacted, explained Teck Wee, who trained as an electrical engineer. Most often, when the alarms go off, it takes less than a minute for the incoming data to be reviewed, a remote restoration attempted, or for supply to be re-routed. A service crew is also dispatched for a manual check. In a supply disruption, staff at the control centre will first try to restore supply through remotely switching to an alternate feed. If this is not possible, it will send out mobile generators to provide temporary power to customers. The team is supported by 20 standby officers deployed in five zones across Singapore. When activated, these standby teams examine and re-condition the substation equipment to rectify the issue.   Technology drives precise and prompt response. Through a combination of sensors, monitors, alarms, micro-processors and a communication network, the control centre team can quickly pinpoint and manage disturbances on the network. Artificial Intelligence helps engineers make faster decisions through diagnostics of incidents to identify causes and possible actions. Supply disruptions could occur for different reasons, such as roadworks which can damage cables, or accidents, says Teck Wee. A rogue snake or monitor lizard sneaking into an over-ground supply box could also cause an outage. Singapore's electricity network ranks top among major cities. Based on a benchmarking report, in 2017, customers in Singapore experienced an average of 0.19 minute of electricity interruption, compared to Osaka’s 5 minutes and London’s 16.70 minutes. Despite that, Teck Wee says every incident is taken seriously, and the teams look closely at ways to prevent it from occurring again. Keeping the nation’s grid going strong is a source of great pride. “Electricity affects quality of life in so many ways and it’s gratifying to know that we can play a part in upholding it for consumers, he said. — 15 May 2019 TAGS PEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ How this 'grid doctor' maintains the health of Singapore's electricity network so everything stays on Ground feedback, digital tools: How she helps 8,000 workers end their day safely Faster repairs, fewer disruptions: Meet the innovative teams using smart tech to keep your piped gas supply flowing Category: Reliability BusinessTimes#BT#25-08-2023#Default#1#BTS-005#4#ccihttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:7e417dc9-a15c-46a2-9c21-6946ad67bc0a The Business Times | Friday, August 25, 2023 | C OMPANIES & MARKETS 5 SP Group, Frasers Property to jointly develop smart energy solutions in Vietnam industrial park Partnership will help the development to enhance energy savings and reduce carbon emissions for all tenants By Mia Pei yxmiap@sph.com.sg SP GROUP and Frasers Property will jointly develop and implement smart energy solutions at Binh Duong Industrial Park (BDIP) in Vietnam.

Further deployment of GETTM Control, a micro-climate building intelligence system, after the successful pilot at one building at the university campus achieved 40 per cent energy savings while improving occupant comfort by 14 per cent Singapore and Thailand, 15 November 2023 — Rangsit University (RSU) is set for green transformation at its main campus in Mueang Pathum Thani District, Greater Bangkok. SP Group (SP), a utilities group and sustainable energy solutions provider in Singapore and the Asia Pacific, is partnering RSU, a leading private university in Thailand, to transform this space into a smart, low-carbon campus. SP will deploy a comprehensive suite of integrated and sustainable energy solutions across the campus. These include solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment with a centralised energy management and storage system, and harnessing SP’s GETTM (Green Energy Tech) – a smart building intelligence system that maximises building energy efficiency and enhances occupant comfort. When completed in 2024, these solutions will enable the university to green up to 21 per cent of its total energy consumption and lower its carbon emissions by 1,400 tonnes annually. To further this green partnership, SP and RSU will conduct a feasibility study to implement more integrated sustainable energy solutions across the campus. These include a district cooling system to provide energy-efficient air-conditioning, increasing the scale of solar PV and energy storage systems deployment, and further expanding the integration of the GETTM suite of digital energy management tools that leverage smart insights to optimise energy efficiency, enhance occupant experience, and advance sustainability efforts. As part of the partnership, SP will install a 2-Megawatt Peak (MWp) of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) across nine buildings on the campus, and a floating solar PV system on one of the university’s ponds. To maximise the accessibility of solar energy across the campus, SP will also be installing an Energy Storage System (ESS) that enables on-demand supply of solar energy. The combined solar PV system is expected to generate 2,749 Megawatt-hour annually. When the system is completed, RSU’s Facility and Environmental Management Office (Building 13) will be 100 per cent powered by solar energy and will be the first building in a Thailand university campus to aim for net-zero status. SP will also expand its deployment of GETTM Control, a micro-climate building intelligence system that maximises energy-efficiency of the building’s air-conditioning, to two additional buildings – Building 12/1 and Building 11 – following a successful pilot deployment. Over a two-month period, the pilot helped to achieve 40 per cent energy savings for two levels on building 12/1 and Building 11 and improved occupant comfort by 14 per cent. The solution utilises Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things to optimise and regulate air-conditioning, by taking into consideration factors like occupancy and ambient weather conditions to optimise air-flow to evenly cool areas. “Buildings like offices, factories, hospitals and university campuses have unique operational and energy demands. Our expertise in delivering customised, end-to-end integrated energy services will enable buildings to maximise the benefits of diverse energy resources, optimise efficiency and achieve significant environmental benefits including reduction of carbon emissions. We are very pleased to partner Rangsit University on its ambitious sustainability journey, and look forward to joining hands with more developments to drive the decarbonisation of Thailand’s urban built environment,” said Mr. Brandon Chia, Managing Director (Southeast Asia & Australia), Sustainable Energy Solutions, SP Group. “Climate change affects everyone, including educational institutions like us. There is an urgent need to enhance our buildings’ energy efficiency and develop sustainability goals to support Thailand’s targets of reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions,” said Associate Professor Dr. Thammasak Rujirayanyong, Assistant to the President for Building and Environment, Rangsit University. “We selected SP Group based on the efficacy of their track record, and they have impressed with their commitment and thoroughness. I hope that RSU’s successful implementation of SP’s integrated energy solutions will serve as an example for other education institutions to follow suit.” Rangsit University has set a target to become a smart, low carbon campus as part of its commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility, including carbon neutrality, sustainable infrastructure, and sustainable transportation. SP Group has been supporting the green energy transition of customers in Thailand since 2022. It has over 40MWp of solar projects in operation and under construction; and secured a pipeline of over 100MWp of other solar projects across Thailand. Key partners include Malee Group, Asia Composite Material, Compact International and SAICO, who have leveraged SP’s strong engineering expertise, regional experience, and operational excellence to embark on their green energy transition. SP recently announced its first district cooling project in Thailand, at Government Complex Centre Zone C, as part of its joint venture with Banpu NEXT. When completed in 2024, the district cooling system will operate a total cooling capacity of up to 14,000 Refrigeration Tons (RT) and enable the facility to save approximately 40 million baht (USD $1.12 million) per year on electricity costs, achieve 20 per cent in energy savings and reduce carbon emissions by up to 3,000 tonnes annually. ### 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.

In the coming years, we will explore new technologies to help us develop our decarbonisation roadmap to reduce our emissions to meet our carbon reduction target. This roadmap will also include an identification of the climate-related risks and opportunities to help us plan for more sustainable and resilient operations into the future. With the launch of My Green Credits TM on the SP Utilities app, SP has pledged to cover 100 per cent of the electricity consumption at our Singapore headquarters with Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from October 2020 onwards. These actions are in support of the “30-30-30” target that was set to add at least 30 per cent value to our customers and reduce our carbon footprint by 30 per cent, by 2030. With FY18/19 as the baseline year where 1 SP’s Green Financing Framework can be accessed here: https://spgrp.sg/SPGreenFinancingFramework 2 Data restated after internal review 4 applicable, selected performance indicators are measured and tracked in relation to our material topics of network reliability, innovation and customer empowerment. In FY20/21, our System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) performance for electricity network recorded an all-time best of 0.15 minute, an improvement from 0.56 minute in the previous year. Commonly used as a reliability indicator by electricity companies, SAIDI measures the average outage duration experienced by each customer served. Our improvement reflects the continuous efforts we have put in place to ensure our customers are provided with reliable electricity supply. We have also facilitated the switch for 49 per cent of residential customers and 47 per cent of small business customers in the Open Electricity Market, enabling them to enjoy savings of 20 to 30 per cent off the regulated tariff. Customers also have the option of a non-standard price plan to buy electricity from the wholesale electricity market. SP’s low carbon initiatives such as district cooling, solar and electromobility have enabled customers to avoid more than 28,000 tonnesCO 2 e in FY20/21, equivalent to planting almost 1.4 million rain trees 3 or taking more than 6,000 cars off the road for a year 4 . Measuring this progress against the target of helping customers reduce their carbon footprint, these initiatives have achieved 18 per cent increase in the CO2 avoided since the baseline year of 2018. There was a slight reduction as compared to the previous year's reduction of 19 per cent due to a decrease in demand of the various sustainable energy solutions amidst the Covid-19 situation in Singapore last year. 3 One mature rain tree absorbs 0.0201 tonnesCO 2 a year - data from My Carbon Footprint study by South Pole 4 From US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator 5 Contributing to SDG 7 and 9 targets SDG Target by 2030 Material topic Our key contributions 7.1 Energy access Ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services.

We invest in capabilities to uphold reliable, efficient power supply to households and businesses. Network reliability is mission critical to SP as we strive to deliver excellence in our service provision and operations and align to the identified targets under SDG 9. Management Approach Network maintenance Despite Singapore having one of the best electricity and gas network systems in the world, supply interruption is inevitable and may occur due to various reasons including network failure, damage by third parties, faulty equipment at customer sites or issues with the source of the supply. Operations run 24/7 at SP’s distribution control centre, the nerve centre of Singapore’s power grid to ensure supply reliability. Electricity network To minimise the possibility of supply interruption, SP follows a systematic regime of maintenance, timely replacement of ageing equipment and close monitoring of equipment performance. For example, our Asset Sensing and Analytics team monitors and checks the health of our network around the clock. Any anomalies detected will trigger a response for the team to carry out rectification works to ensure the continued well-being of the equipment. Our specialists keep a close eye on about 11,800 substations and over 28,000km of cables in the grid. They conduct regular health screening of all electrical assets on the network and recommend deeper investigations or treatment when necessary. 7 To enhance speed and accuracy in predicting anomalies, we have implemented online asset sensing and analysis for newly installed 230kV and 400kV cable joints, and for all 400kV, 230kV and new 66kV switchgears. We are in the process of doing the same for critical 22kV substation’s switchgear which will be completed by 2022. We also carry out physical monitoring every three to six months. This measures the electrical and acoustic signal and temperature of the equipment when the condition checks are being conducted. If a power failure occurs, we take four remediation actions to minimise the impact and downtime. 1. Remote switching When a power fault is detected, this first course of action disconnects the affected equipment from the network and reconnects it to an alternative supply source. Since 2019, we have implemented remote switching capabilities for all 6.6kV distribution networks substations, allowing for quicker restoration should a supply interruption occur. 2. Manual switching This is conducted when remote switching is unable to restore power supply. Power faults in low-voltage networks, such as damage to over ground boxes that are used to transmit electricity to customers, are usually resolved through manual switching. 3. Mobile generators These generators are immediately deployed when power faults are reported and are used to provide temporary electricity supply while the network issues are being resolved. 4. Cable jointing This is conducted when switching is unable to resolve the power fault and the mobile generators cannot access the substation where the fault has occurred. Gas network SP owns and operates the gas network that supplies gas to industrial, commercial and residential customers. The high pressure gas transmission system transports the main fuel source for Singapore’s power generation plants. An asset life cycle approach to asset management is adopted to manage risk and ensure that the gas network is developed, maintained and operated in a safe and reliable manner. The gas network is monitored round the clock in a system control centre. A supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system is deployed on the transmission system to avail remote monitoring and operations capability, which enables us to respond immediately to incidents. When incidents occur, response is centrally managed to ensure that performance recovery is quick and directed, thus minimising disruption to customers. A key component we monitor closely is the network pressure. This is done by deploying pressure sensors across the entire transmission network. SP’s gas network operations team monitors the pressure readings to ensure that the network pressure at different nodes is maintained within an optimal range. To enhance the remote monitoring capability and productivity, we have developed a prototype machine learning solution based on Deep Learning autoencoders that can learn from a vast amount of historical data of transmission 8 pressure readings to detect deviations from the expected pressure levels and alert the operations team of any anomaly in the gas network. Regular inspections and maintenance are also conducted on our assets to maintain reliability. An asset renewal programme tracks asset performance and replaces deteriorating assets efficiently. Patrol and leak survey of the pipelines are conducted to detect third party activities and gas leaks respectively. Dedicated planning of assets, selection of materials, project management and strict testing requirements are conducted to maintain the integrity of the gas network. This enables us to uphold reliable and safe supply of gas to customers. Conducting regular checks to ensure optimal gas supply pressure for customers. International collaboration In ensuring a more secure, accessible and sustainable energy future, SP is an active member of several international and regional working groups to benchmark and share best practices on grid operations. As part of the International Utility Working Group, SP is one of the utilities companies in the 10 member countries that meet annually to address topics on grid reliability and security, integrating clean energy sources and meeting the digital needs of customers. Regionally, SP represents Singapore at the meetings of the Heads of ASEAN Power Utilities/Authorities (HAPUA). HAPUA’s key objectives include strengthening regional energy security through interconnection development and enhancing the quality and reliability of electricity supply system. SP is the Chair of the Working Group #3 that focuses on Distribution, Power Reliability and Quality. Initiatives Reliable Infrastructure – SDG 9.1 Investing in network infrastructure upgrades Planning and investing in network infrastructure upgrades are key to ensuring customers have reliable and safe access to electricity and gas. We have a long-term asset renewal strategy – based on the performance, condition and age of our equipment – to ensure that our electricity network remains resilient. As part of our accelerated gas mains renewal programme, we have replaced aging ductile iron pipelines with more durable polyethylene pipes. This significantly reduces the risk of gas leaks and improves gas safety. 9 To secure reliable and efficient electricity supply for Singapore in the longer term, we have built cross-island underground transmission cable tunnels. Besides enabling us to better plan for future network requirements, we can install, repair and replace aging assets efficiently, without digging up the roads, which may inconvenience the public. This ensures that Singapore continues to be equipped with optimal electricity supply infrastructure and maintains its position as having one of the best performing electricity networks in the world. Smart Grid Index We have developed the world’s first Smart Grid Index (SGI) to help utilities measure and advance in key dimensions of smart grid development. The SGI, which has received strong endorsement from industry experts and stakeholders, measures the smartness of power grids globally in seven key dimensions: 1) supply reliability; 2) monitoring and control; 3) data analytics; 4) integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER); 5) green energy; 6) security, and 7) customer empowerment and satisfaction. The SGI allows utilities to understand their strengths and areas they can improve in. Today, the SGI measures and benchmarks grid smartness across 85 utilities from 37 countries/markets. In 2020, utilities in Asia Pacific nations made significant improvements in the rankings with an overall improvement by more than five percentage points from the score in 2019. Globally, there is increasing focus on data analytics, with an average of more than 11 percentage points growth. For further details on the benchmarking scores, please refer to https://www.spgroup.com.sg/sp-powergrid/overview/smart-grid-index In 2020, SP Group improved by almost 9 percentage points from the 2019 score, mainly in the areas of supply reliability and customer empowerment and satisfaction. This was due to its efforts to ensure near-zero downtime in network reliability, provide half-hourly electricity usage with smart meters and achieving higher customer satisfaction scores. Asset Health Digital Twin Harnessing the power of digitalisation, we are applying concepts of digital twin, using digital representation of physical assets to optimise maintenance and renewal, and enhance the reliability of our electricity network. This progressive development aims to put information about asset health and alerts at the fingertips of our officers, enabling them to respond swiftly according to asset conditions. This will strengthen our capabilities in failure prevention and enhance the reliability of the electricity network for our customers. Construction of large-scale underground substation The Group announced in early 2021 the construction of Southeast Asia’s first large-scale underground electrical substation in Labrador, to develop sustainable infrastructure and optimise space in land-scarce Singapore. As part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s underground Master Plan 2019, the 230kV Labrador underground substation is scheduled to be completed in 2024. It occupies a land-size of three-hectares, about the area of four football fields. To ensure maximum land optimisation, the land above it will be used for a 34-storey commercial development. 10 The underground substation at Labrador will be integrated with a 34-storey commercial building, as a part of the larger Greater Southern Waterfront. Building a substation underground would be more resource-intensive and require specialised engineering capabilities as compared to the usual above-ground substations. However, the long-term benefits of building substations underground outweigh the costs. In addition to optimising land resources for other purposes, underground substations have a lower risk of being exposed and damaged. This will enhance asset and network security. Sustainable Infrastructure - SDG 9.4 Interconnector between Singapore and Malaysia With the regional power grid identified as one of the ‘Four Switches” in the Singapore Energy Story for the next 50 years, SP is actively supporting the upgrade of infrastructure to tap on regional power grids for cleaner energy resources and further diversify Singapore’s energy supply. We have upgraded the previous two 250 megavolt amperes (MVA) interconnector undersea cables between Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia to a capacity of two 550 MVA in August 2020. With this upgrade, 100 megawatt (MW) of the Interconnector capacity could be set aside for the two-year trial import of electricity from Malaysia as announced in early 2021. Recommissioning of Toh Tuck Gasholder The Toh Tuck Gasholder is critical in managing the town gas supply pressure to consumers during peak hours. We have spent 24 months to enhance the gasholder and successfully recommissioned the gasholder in January 2021. The gasholder will contribute to gas pressure stability as well as cater for future demand. DERMS to enable effective integration of renewables To cater to potential demand for renewable energy sources and maintain reliability in a distributed energy landscape, we have piloted the Distributed Energy Resources Management System (DERMS) to manage the influx of solar photovoltaic, energy storage systems and electric vehicles connected to our electricity network. Through real-time monitoring and smart control capabilities, integration of these distributed energy resources can be optimised while ensuring the reliability of our electricity network. 11 Energy storage systems Energy Storage System (ESS) can be the key to managing intermittency from solar energy and other network applications. ESS provides quick response when solar installations are affected by cloud cover to reduce solar intermittency. In collaboration with the Energy Market Authority of Singapore and industry partners, we have led the deployment of the first-ever utility-scale ESS at a substation in Woodlands. Designed for local conditions, this will enable us to incorporate more renewables and other sustainable energy solutions into our electricity grid. Performance There are two key indicators that our industry measures when assessing performance on network reliability: 1) SAIDI, a system index of average duration of interruption in the power supply indicated in minutes per customers, and 2) System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), a system index of average frequency of interruptions in the power supply. In FY2020/2021, our SAIDI for the electricity network improved by over 73 per cent. FY18/19 FY19/20 FY20/21 Electricity SAIDI (min) SAIFI 0.87 0.0307 0.56 0.0366 0.15 0.0073 Gas SAIDI (min) SAIFI 0.0932 0.0014 0.2637 0.0019 0.4223 0.0024 To ensure minimal service disruption to our gas network, we have been actively replacing aging ductile iron pipelines with more durable polyethylene pipes to improve our gas SAIFI and SAIDI performance. Future outlook To meet our “30-30-30” target to add at least 30 per cent value to our customers and reduce our carbon footprint by 30 per cent by 2030 and uphold supply reliability, we actively invest in infrastructure, technology and engineering capabilities. We continually look for innovative and cost-effective ways to do our work faster, better and more safely, and empower our staff with the knowledge they need to increase productivity and bring value to our customers and stakeholders. 12 Innovation Why this is material Singapore has pledged to reduce its Emissions Intensity by 36 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030. It has committed to enhance its nationally determined contribution (NDC) to the absolute peak emissions level of 65 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent around 2030. By 2050, Singapore aims to halve the amount of emissions it produces from its 2030 peak, with the view to achieving net-zero emissions as soon as viable in the second half of the century. In putting the targets into action, the Government has announced the Singapore Green Plan 2030, a whole-of-nation movement, to advance Singapore’s national agenda on sustainable development. Innovation and new technologies are central to facilitating this transition. SP can be a key facilitator and enabler for this change. Our investments in climate friendly innovations will not only power a greener tomorrow for our business, but also benefit the entire ecosystem, including organisations and individuals trying to reduce their own footprint. Management Approach To keep at the forefront of new technologies, we tap on the global innovation ecosystem for exposure, test new solutions and build new capabilities to deliver value-added solutions to our customers. Involvement in Innovation Ecosystem We have been actively engaged in the global innovation ecosystem through initiatives such as the Free Electrons Global Energy Startup Programme. In partnership with eight other global utilities, SP invites promising energy-related start-ups to apply for the programme which runs annually. Into its fifth edition in 2021, Free Electrons has provided numerous opportunities for pilot projects, commercial deployments, investments, learning opportunities, and deals to date exceeding US$50 million. The Group invests in venture capital funds globally to access the innovation ecosystems and keep abreast of market and technology developments. Our venture capital funds provide SP with deal flow access to start-ups globally including Asia, USA and Europe. Through the innovation ecosystem, SP has been actively identifying relevant and promising technologies to run pilots. This approach allows us to trial and validate new technologies to build new capabilities in developing innovative solutions. Research and Development SP Group-NTU Joint Lab SP has embarked on S$30 million in research and education initiatives with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, to enhance the resilience of Singapore’s electricity network, improve the reliability and efficiency 13 of supply to customers, and nurture experts for the energy sector. Under this collaboration, the SP Group-NTU Joint Lab is exploring energy-related projects in the areas of asset management and network operations. Located on the NTU Smart Campus, the joint lab will house 60 researchers, 85 undergraduates and postgraduate students, and serve as a training platform for SP’s engineers. The lab will conduct studies on equipment components and materials to gauge the equipment’s degradation and lifespan. This helps to optimise equipment maintenance and replacement and achieve network reliability in a cost and operationally effective manner. Researchers from SP and NTU will design and develop a unique scalable system – one of the first in the world – that can detect and pre-empt equipment fault by sensing electrical and sound anomalies within power distribution substations. The research will leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning to conduct comprehensive real-time monitoring and perform trend analysis to predict future network problems before they appear. Vehicle-to-Grid Technology To boost Singapore’s electric mobility capabilities, enabling its energy system to integrate more renewable energy, we are also exploring smart charging (V1G) and vehicle-to grid (V2G) feasibility in Singapore through a strategic investment in The Mobility House AG (TMH). Operating from Munich, Zurich and Belmont (California), TMH is a technology company that provides a software capable of integrating open charging stations through non-proprietary communication protocol. With its hardware-agnostic Charging and Energy Management system, ChargePilot, TMH created the basis for a uni- and bi-directional integration of EVs into the power grid. The collaboration between SP and TMH leads the way for V2G as an integral solution towards transport electrification, paving the way for a zero-emission future. With the Singapore government’s target to increase solar penetration to reach 2 GigaWattpeak (GWp) by 2030, integrating V2G technology into the national grid can be the key to managing the intermittency of renewables while maintaining grid stability and reliability. Initiatives Energy Access – SDG 7.1 Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging The switch to low-carbon EVs is seen as an increasingly viable route for the decarbonisation of the transportation sector globally. With our geographic size, economic landscape and existing infrastructure, Singapore is well placed to adopt green mobility, with SP driving this change. Over the past three years, SP has been partnering organisations to set up EV charging stations across the island, to support the nation’s target to build 60,000 electric vehicle charging points by 2030. As of end March 2021, the high-speed EV charging network increased to 340 points across 71 locations in Singapore. 14 EV drivers can locate our charging points – the largest public network in Singapore - easily via the SP Utilities app. Through the app, users can start and stop charging, and pay for the electricity used. Working with Chevron Singapore Pte. Ltd., which markets the Caltex TM brand, SP will be offering fast EV charging at selected Caltex service stations to provide on-the-go convenience to electric vehicle motorists. Identified Caltex service stations will be equipped with 50kW direct current (DC) fast chargers that can charge up an EV in as short as 30 minutes, versus a few hours required by the more commonly available alternating current (AC) chargers. One of the stations will have two 50kW SP's direct current (DC) fast charging points for electric vehicles (EVs). DC charging points that are designed to allow a compatible car to charge up to a speed of 100kW, provided only one car is utilising the charging points. The chargers will be installed by the second quarter of 2021 and will be incorporated on the SP Utilities app for ease of use. SP supports the development of electromobility in Singapore in line with the Government’s announcement to have all vehicles run on cleaner energy by 2040. In order to promote electromobility, SP has been collaborating with Goldbell and SMRT subsidiary Strides Transportation to extend our charging points to their customers. Assisting customers in their conversion to EVs is instrumental to wide scale adoption in Singapore. Renewable Energy – SDG 7.2 Solar PV SP is looking at ways to harness and deploy energy efficiently. The Group has installed solar photovoltaic (PV) panels at our headquarters and district offices and developed storage systems. This has enabled us to work with partners in the community and industrial customers to achieve similar sustainable outcomes. The Integrated Energy Solutions (IES) system includes features like the energy storage capabilities, energy sensors and a real-time digital platform to monitor, analyse and optimise energy usage. One such digital energy solution was developed at Sembcorp Marine’s Tuas Boulevard Yard’s steel fabrication facility to lower its carbon footprint. SP installed 4.5 MegaWattpeak (MWp) solar panels at the facility to provide up to 30 per cent of electricity consumed during peak load. 15 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) Platform SP has a one-stop digital Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) platform, the first such blockchain-powered CONVENIENCE marketplace in the world. This removes trading barriers, enabling both big and small customers to achieve their green targets seamlessly and securely. SP’s platform is also accredited by the International REC Standard Foundation as the first authorised local issuer of I-RECs in the Asia Pacific. This provides customers greater assurance of the CROSS BORDER SP REC Platform SAVINGS integrity of each I-REC issued in Singapore. EMPOWERMENT In early 2021, SP was presented with the inaugural Renewable Energy Markets TM Asia Award for smart energy solutions that expand clean energy access in Asia. SECURITY Energy efficiency – SDG 7.3 Smart Building Solutions SP actively explores new technologies to support the energy needs of buildings and districts. Our Green Energy Tech (GET TM ) is a suite of solutions that integrates different building systems and diverse data sources to create a seamless, sustainable energy management experience for our customers. Powered by EnergyTech, the Internet of things (IoT) and AI, GET TM enables building owners and facility managers to make smarter decisions that improve building performance, sustainability and occupant well-being. GET TM Control GET TM TenantCare Self-learning building intelligence that utilises AI and IoT to optimise and regulate air conditioning and maximise energy efficiency based on changes in occupancy and ambient weather conditions. This solution has been deployed at DBS Asia Hub at Changi Business Park since February 2020. Smart and automated tenant submetering solution that enables landlords and owners of offices, malls and campuses to efficiently manage utilities consumption in both tenant and common spaces. This project has been deployed at Changi Airport, HDB Connection One and the Nanyang Technological University Reliable Infrastructure - SDG 9.1 District Cooling and Energy Saving Solutions SP continues to operate the world’s largest underground district cooling system, located at Marina Bay. Here, chillers centrally produce chilled water during off-peak periods, store the chilled water using a thermal energy storage system, and supply the chilled water for air conditioning use at the buildings in the district. If renewable 16 energy that is used to power the chillers suddenly fluctuates, the lithium ion battery will immediately discharge energy to balance the supply, hence overcoming the challenge of inconsistent renewable energy in a cost-effective way. The system serves more than 20 developments in Marina Bay and is 40 per cent more efficient than conventional chillers. Urban Micro-Grid SP is working with Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) to build Singapore’s first multi-energy urban micro-grid at the university’s campus in Punggol Digital District, with a long-term target to achieve zero-emission and ability to operate independently from the national grid in times of emergency. The micro-grid, specially designed for Singapore’s tropical climate, will integrate gas, electricity and thermal energy into a unified smart energy network through multiple phases of execution. It will enable SIT to tap green energy sources such as solar electricity, solar thermal and deploy energy storage technologies, micro-grid controller, smart metering and energy digital management system to optimise energy and reduce carbon emissions. Once achieved, the research and work done on the system can help SIT save energy and eliminate carbon emissions which is equivalent to removing close to 2,000 vehicles off the roads. As a distributed energy system, the micro-grid is designed to have the function to operate independently from the national grid in times of emergency. Insights from the research collaboration in the SIT@Punggol campus will help to develop innovative solutions to enable a more reliable and efficient energy system to meet Singapore’s future needs where customers can save energy and cost while enjoying a high quality, sustainable lifestyle. The collaboration will also facilitate future research and development in smart energy networks and will provide SIT students a platform to gain first-hand experience in honing engineering skills and expertise in micro-grids. The Group plans to work with SIT@Punggol to extend the research work in subsequent phases to study and develop more energy savings solution for campus applications. Performance SP’s low carbon initiatives have enabled our customers to avoid more than 28,000 tonnesCO 2 in FY20/21, equivalent to planting almost 1.4 million rain trees 5 or taking more than 6,000 cars off the road for a year 6 . Measuring this progress against the target of helping our customers reduce their carbon footprint, these initiatives have achieved 18 per cent increase in the CO2 avoided since the baseline year of 2018. Solar Panels – Renewable Energy For our customers, a total of 4.5 MWp of solar panels were installed as of end March 2021. Based on an average estimated generation yield in Singapore, the panels have helped the customers avoided more than 2,000 tonnesCO 2 e, equivalent to planting more than 100,000 rain trees or taking more than 450 vehicles off the road. 5 One mature rain tree absorbs 0.0201 tonnesCO 2 a year - data from My Carbon Footprint study by South Pole 6 From US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator 17 Across our premises, we have installed almost 1 MWp of solar panels to access renewable energy. Collectively, they have helped us to avoid close to 200 tonnesCO 2 e in FY20/21. District Cooling – Energy Efficiency 2020 was a pandemic year that saw a decrease in the electricity demand in the office buildings in Marina Bay area due to increased work-from-home arrangements. This resulted in the reduction of the carbon emissions avoidance as compared to the baseline year of 2018. However, the chillers within the district cooling plant were working more efficiently than previous years, with the efficiency factor improving by about two per cent since the baseline year. This reduces the electricity required to cool one refrigerant ton. Besides energy savings, the carbon emissions avoidance amounted to more than 20,000 tonnesCO 2 e, equivalent to planting more than 1 million rain trees and taking more than 4,500 cars off the road in FY20/21. Electric Vehicles – Clean Transportation With the 340 charging points across 71 locations in Singapore as of end March 2021, up from 200 points in 2019. Compared to the carbon emissions from a typical internal combustion engine vehicle, the electricity sold from the charging points helped EV customers avoid an estimated amount of more than 900 tonnesCO 2 e, increasing more than 23-fold compared to our baseline year of 2018. Internally, we have gradually converted our fleet of service vehicles from diesel engines to electric. As of March 2021, we have converted around 17 per cent of them to EVs, avoiding an estimated total of more than 75 tonnesCO 2 e since we started with the conversion. Future outlook We will continue our active investment in innovative technology to bring about greater grid reliability and more sustainable energy solutions to our customers. In line with our strategic focus towards 2030, we are leveraging our experience in Singapore to extend our low carbon, smart energy solutions to targeted countries in Asia Pacific for a more sustainable world. We have secured our second district cooling project at Guangzhou Knowledge City and have acquired a 40 per cent stake in Sino-French Energy Services Co. Ltd in Chongqing. In addition, we have signed MOUs with State Grid Shanghai and State Grid Chongqing to bring sustainable energy solutions to these cities. Recently, we have signed a joint venture agreement with Jinko Power to acquire and invest in renewable assets and develop integrated energy solutions in China. 18 Customer Empowerment Why this is material The transition towards a clean energy economy will largely be driven by end-user consumption. Given that SP provides electricity and gas transmission and distribution services to customers in Singapore, customer education and empowerment will support Singapore’s target to transition to a low-carbon future. Beyond this, education and empowerment of customers can result in energy and cost savings for our customers. Management Approach Our initiatives for the community and our customers are aligned with our mission – to improve quality of life and create sustainable solutions for the community, today and for future generations. Volunteerism is an integral part of the SP’s DNA. Our staff volunteers, known as SP Heart Workers, drive outreach activities for the vulnerable and underserved throughout the year. The SP Heartware Fund (the Fund), established in 2005, supports services for vulnerable seniors, in partnership with Community Chest. These include befriending, rehabilitation, counselling and caregiver support. SP underwrites all fund-raising and operational costs of the Fund and programmes, so that all donations will go fully to the social service organisations supported by the Fund. In partnership with Temasek, SP has contributed towards various initiatives to protect and keep Singapore safe during the COVID-19 pandemic last year. We were part of Temasek Foundation initiatives to provide free hand sanitiser and reusable face masks to all residents in Singapore. Our SP Heart Workers helped with distribution at a collection centre and our call centre managed these projects' public phone hotline. Empowerment through Technology To provide greater convenience to our customer base, we have embarked on a digital transformation journey. This has resulted in digital products that power internal business units and energy tech products that are available to our customers. With energy tech as a tool to drive sustainability, the primary goals are to 1) inform, 2) enable and 3) add value. 1) Inform – The aim is to educate and empower our customers by providing data, information and recommendations to help them make good decisions. 2) Enable – Our aim here is to provide our customers with the ability to carry out their decisions. This is done through selected methods such as allowing customers to take direct control over the settings of their SP products, using data and AI to provide recommendations and advices and using automation to provide faster, more accurate responses. 3) Add Value – We aim to provide economic value to our customers, in order to push our sustainability agenda. 19 Initiatives Energy Access – SDG 7.1 Open Electricity Market In supporting the Open Electricity Market where customers can choose to buy electricity from retailers, SP helps customers make the switch which can enable them to save between 20 to 30 per cent off the regulated tariff. To demonstrate our commitment, SP has rolled out a price comparison feature on the SP Utilities app, whereby customers can see all the various price plans at a glance. This makes it easier for customers to select price plans that best suit their consumption needs. Renewable energy – SDG 7.2 My Green Credits TM Expanding from SP’s experience in the management of its REC platform, a new feature, My Green Credits TM , was launched in October 2020 to provide everyone in Singapore with easy access to renewable energy. This feature aims to make it affordable and convenient for anyone in Singapore to match their electricity consumption with an equivalent amount of green energy produced by purchasing RECs in the form of “green credits”. Usually available in multiples of megawatt-hour (MWh), the RECs available for purchase from local and overseas projects on My Green Credits TM are broken down into kilowatt-hours (kWh) which makes them become more accessible to residential customers and individuals and offers the choice to “green” any amount from zero to 100 per cent of monthly electricity consumption. The purchase of these certificates drives the growth of renewable energy and allows customers to play their part in creating a low carbon, smart energy Singapore.

We refer to this as an “Energy Brain”. This Energy Brain uses intelligence gathered from a large volume of consumption data from both residential homes and business to provide our customers with data-driven solutions. 7 Beyond this, we are increasing our customer empowerment by installing smart electricity meters at all households, allowing residents to access their half-hourly electricity usage through our SP Utilities app. These advanced meters allow residents to gain a better picture of their consumption patterns, enabling them to implement reduction and efficiency measures in a meaningful manner. Environmental Awareness In March 2020, SP launched the enhanced Carbon Footprint calculator, called My Carbon Footprint. It enables everyone in Singapore to be more aware of the environmental impact of their daily actions. First launched in December 2019, the initial version allows users to view their carbon emissions resulting from their electricity consumption. The calculator that is available on the SP Utilities app allows everyone in Singapore to measure their environmental impact from their daily lifestyle choices according to their household profile, mode and duration of commute, frequency of holiday travel, spending habits and food consumption. To make it more accessible for users on laptops and tablets to access My Carbon Footprint, we have also designed and launched the web-based version of the calculator in August 2020. Similar to the app version, this web version allows users to easily calculate the size of their carbon footprint by answering a few simple questions. This is especially useful when used in a classroom setting for students to gain access to the calculator without having the need to download the SP Utilities app and registering for an account. As of end March 2021, across both platforms, we have completed almost 60,000 carbon footprint calculations for the users. SP has launched initiatives that allow customers to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle through their daily actions. GreenUP, found on the SP Utilities app, aims to educate and empower our customer base on the message of sustainability in a fun and interactive way. To date, users have completed over 2.9 million activities cumulatively since launch in September 2019. In 2020, we worked with more than 30 like-minded partners who came onboard the GreenUP sustainability programme to build various challenges to help the app users and the partners’ customers to start practising green habits like forgoing disposable cutlery when ordering food or bringing their own cups when buying coffee. 7 https://www.poweringthenation.sg/innovation/Data-science-and-AI-deliver-efficient-energy-solutions-to-customers 21 Tengah will be Singapore’s model of a digitally inter-connected smart energy town. Spotlight: Tengah – Singapore’s eco-friendly smart energy town Tengah, HDB’s 24th public housing estate is set to be the model showcase of a digitally inter-connected smart energy town where eco-innovations are deployed across HDB blocks and commercial and community facilities, to bring magnified benefits to residents and town operators. With the Singapore government’s plan to make every HDB estate an eco-town by 2030, SP aims to play a central role in enabling everyone to make conscious decisions to lower their carbon footprint and integrate sustainability into the everyday lives of Singaporeans. Centralised Cooling System Powered By The Sun At Tengah, residents can opt for central cooling or stick to conventional air conditioning. Centralised cooling is a smart, eco-friendly cooling technology that replaces inefficient conventional cooling methods. Modular chiller plants placed on top of the HDB roof tops will supply chilled water direct from the riser to the fan coil unit in the homes, replacing the need for the installation of condensers. With the usage of centralised cooling, Tengah can be 30 to 40 per cent more energy efficient than similar estates in Singapore. This is estimated to result in at least energy savings of 30GWh per year, which could power 6,300 four-room flats annually and remove 800,000m 3 of carbon from the air or equivalent to about having 400,000 cars off the road annually. To maximise the limited space available in Tengah, SP is deploying both conventional and vertical solar panels (known as building-integrated photovoltaics, BIPV). Tengah will likely have the largest aggregated installation of BIPV in Singapore when fully developed. 22 Sustainable Lifestyle App Residents will be able to live an eco-friendly and hassle-free lifestyle by using the MyTengah app. They will be able to understand their household utilities consumption, intelligently control their Centralised Cooling usage, browse and purchase energy efficient appliances, and many more. Convenient EV Charging Electric vehicle drivers will be well served by parking facilities all across Tengah having their parking lots equipped with EV charging points from SP. Drivers will be able to find stations, charge, and pay conveniently using the SP Utilties app. By 2030, 10 per cent of all parking lots in Tengah will be equipped with EV charging stations contributing towards the national goal of 60,000 EV charging points. Sustainability Displays Eco-Boards are digital displays to help residents be more aware of their block’s impact on the environment. Installed at the lift lobby, these boards will also provide residents with green tips to lower their electricity and water consumption and will encourage sustainable behaviour with utilities-saving competitions between blocks. Performance Customer Empowerment As of 31 March 2021, 49 per cent of households and 47 per cent of eligible businesses have switched to buying electricity from a retailer of their choice. They have since enjoyed savings of about 20 per cent to 30 per cent off the regulated tariff. Our customers can also opt for a non-standard price plan to buy electricity from the wholesale electricity market. Under this arrangement, the customer buys electricity at the wholesale electricity price which varies every half hour depending on the prevailing demand and supply situation in Singapore’s wholesale electricity market. Customers are empowered with their utility consumption data via the SP Utilities app. With more than 1.2 million app downloads, customers are submitting their meter readings, viewing their bills and paying directly via the SP 23 Utilities app. Customers can pay with all credit cards from over 380 banks and enjoy rebates and rewards offered by banking partners for utilities payment through the app. We have processed over 1 million unique transactions through the app since 2019, giving customers greater convenience. SP has also installed over 500,000 smart meters nationwide as of 31 March 2021 and intends to complete installation for all 1.4 million households by 2024. As of end March 2021, more than 3,500 Tengah households have signed up for the centralised cooling system, which could help homeowners save as much as 30 per cent in life cycle costs. SP Heart Workers preparing the items in the welcome and learning packs for the SP Kids at Heart launch in June 2021. Future outlook SP’s overarching goal is to empower everyone with the knowledge and tools to foster a sustainable future for all. We will continue to harness digital technology to provide our customers with the information and means to lower their electricity consumption and adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. We are also committed to giving back to the community while working towards our environmental goals, the Group will be doubling its annual funding to S$3 million for programmes and expanding its reach to help children, in addition to vulnerable seniors. Under the new SP Kids at Heart programme that was launched in June 2021, SP Group aims to support young children from low-income families in their learning journey. Kickstarting the initiative, SP Group is donating S$1 million to provide educational tools, books and toys in the form of learning and development packs for about 2,000 KidSTART children for a year. The funds will also enable these children to receive electronic devices such as tablets and internet routers to support their online engagement and learning during the pandemic. In addition, SP will provide grocery vouchers and other financial assistance packages including tools and equipment that enable a more conducive home learning environment. 24 Smart Building Solution by SP Group and 75F Helps Buildings Achieve More Than 30% Energy Savingshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Smart-Building-Solution-by-SP-Group-and-75F-Helps-Buildings-Achieve-More-Than-30--Energy-Savings Media Release Smart Building Solution by SP Group and 75F Helps Buildings Achieve More Than 30% Energy Savings Singapore, 5 December 2019 – SP Group (SP), a leading energy utilities group and 75F, a building intelligence solutions provider, are offering a micro-climate control solution that can save more than 30 per cent in energy consumption while improving occupant comfort.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Guarding Gas Operations for the Nation’s Power Needs RELIABILITY Ong Sheau Chin at the Sakra Gas Receiving Facility in Jurong Island. Most people associate gas with cooking, so it is easy to underestimate how gas operations impact households and businesses. As much as 95 per cent of the gas that is imported into Singapore daily is transported to power plants for our electricity needs. The remaining 5 per cent is piped to smaller industries and as town gas for home and business users. Ensuring its reliability is a key priority for Ong Sheau Chin, Director for SP Group’s Gas Operations.  “Few realise that we supply natural gas to the power plants that generate electricity. The responsibility that rests with us requires round-the-clock operations,” explains the 42-year-old, an SP scholar with an honours degree in Electrical Engineering. Clockwork precision for his team of 70 is critical in keeping demand and supply in check. They are entrusted to man the Gas System Control Centre - the eyes and ears of the nation’s entire gas network - and two onshore gas receiving facilities for piped natural gas from Indonesia and Malaysia. From left: Ong Sheau Chin leads the Gas System Operations team, here with team members Principal Engineer Alex Yeo, Senior Engineer Ang Guan Kang and Technical Officer Muhammad Reza Bin Mahmood. They also oversee the commercial aspects of gas management and handle the careful balancing act between the amount of gas received, the demand from specific users, and the actual volume of gas utilised. Sheau Chin and his team must be well-versed in the industry’s rules and standard operating procedures.  They also conduct regular drills to refine and reiterate processes. “The gas networks are the upstream of power plants. We cannot afford to make mistakes. We must do our jobs well and do it right the first time,” he adds. Sheau Chin’s job requires not just technical know-how, but an ability to navigate the policies and rules in the gas marketplace. It is a role that his experience in regulatory affairs as well as a front row seat to the deregulation of the gas market in 2008, has prepared him for. Besides spearheading improvements in Singapore’s gas network, Sheau Chin is also driven by the motivation to make a difference.  Last year, under his stewardship as Chairperson of the SP Heart Workers – SP’s staff volunteers - the team focused its efforts on increasing the number and range of volunteer activities to better serve the needs of the community. Sheau Chin catching up with seniors at Meeting Point@ 128 Toa Payoh over lunch. “Our aim is to leave sustained engagement with the community, so that we can better understand and meet their needs more effectively,” said Sheau Chin. He has led activities at senior activity centres, nursing homes and student care centres. These include organising carnivals for children, grocery shopping trips with seniors and education on energy efficiency and gas safety.

As countries begin to ease air travel restrictions, many local residents may be looking forward to a much-needed getaway to their favourite vacation spots. According to a Guardian article in 2019, a long-haul flight emits more carbon emissions than the total emissions produced in a year by the citizens of some countries[1]. Besides air travel, there has been a huge surge in single-use plastics. Based on a TODAY Online report, an extra 1,334 tonnes of plastic waste was generated from takeaway and delivery meals in Singapore, during the Circuit Breaker period[2]. This is equivalent to the weight of 92 double-decker buses! Of all the plastic waste generated last year, ninety-six per cent was incinerated[3]. Around 3 per cent of our total greenhouse gas emissions were generated from the waste incineration process in Singapore[4]. So, how can individuals track and reduce their carbon emissions? SP Group (SP) has developed a carbon footprint calculator, which anyone can use to track the impact of daily activities and lifestyle. My Carbon Footprint enables consumers to keep tabs on the environmental impact of their energy consumption and lifestyle choices. Called My Carbon Footprint, this new feature in the SP Utilities app enables users to calculate their carbon emissions and the results are referenced against the national average. These projections are based on local data such as food consumption, driving conditions and air travel originating from Singapore. The calculator also draws its projection from common lifestyle and spending habits in Singapore, such as purchase of clothing and footwear, recreational activities or communication, to name a few. Most importantly, the calculator provides practical tips on reducing carbon footprint. My Carbon Footprint is the latest feature in the app, which also equips users to monitor and reduce their energy consumption.

SP has launched its Carbon Footprint calculator - My Carbon Footprint, available now on the SP Utilities App.  The upgraded calculator promotes behaviour and lifestyle changes to reduce carbon emissions through greater awareness of the environmental impact from everyday habits such as transportation, use of electrical appliances and even food consumption. Designed and built in-house, My Carbon Footprint comes with additional features from the original version that was launched in December. Users can now track their emissions from not just electricity, but also from water and gas. They can also calculate the total amount of carbon emissions of their daily activities, according to their household profile, mode and duration of commute, frequency of holiday travel, as well as spending and dining habits. This is useful especially with a Singapore household consuming an average of seven per cent more electricity during the months of April to August, due to the hotter months when there is higher usage of air conditioning. With an increase of people staying at home, it also points to higher electricity and water consumption. On average, a consumer in Singapore emits more than eight tonnes of carbon emissions annually due to their lifestyle and consumption patterns. More than 400 rain trees are required to absorb this impact on the environment.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought air travel almost to a halt since the start of this year. As countries begin to ease air travel restrictions, many local residents may be looking forward to a much-needed getaway to their favourite vacation spots. According to a Guardian article in 2019, a long-haul flight emits more carbon emissions than the total emissions produced in a year by the citizens of some countries[1]. Besides air travel, there has been a huge surge in single-use plastics. Based on a TODAY Online report, an extra 1,334 tonnes of plastic waste was generated from takeaway and delivery meals in Singapore, during the Circuit Breaker period[2]. This is equivalent to the weight of 92 double-decker buses! Of all the plastic waste generated last year, ninety-six per cent was incinerated[3]. Around 3 per cent of our total greenhouse gas emissions were generated from the waste incineration process in Singapore[4]. So, how can individuals track and reduce their carbon emissions? SP Group (SP) has developed a carbon footprint calculator, which anyone can use to track the impact of daily activities and lifestyle. My Carbon Footprint enables consumers to keep tabs on the environmental impact of their energy consumption and lifestyle choices. Called My Carbon Footprint, this new feature in the SP Utilities app enables users to calculate their carbon emissions and the results are referenced against the national average. These projections are based on local data such as food consumption, driving conditions and air travel originating from Singapore. The calculator also draws its projection from common lifestyle and spending habits in Singapore, such as purchase of clothing and footwear, recreational activities or communication, to name a few. Most importantly, the calculator provides practical tips on reducing carbon footprint.

SP has launched its Carbon Footprint calculator - My Carbon Footprint, available now on the SP Utilities App.  The upgraded calculator promotes behaviour and lifestyle changes to reduce carbon emissions through greater awareness of the environmental impact from everyday habits such as transportation, use of electrical appliances and even food consumption. Designed and built in-house, My Carbon Footprint comes with additional features from the original version that was launched in December. Users can now track their emissions from not just electricity, but also from water and gas. They can also calculate the total amount of carbon emissions of their daily activities, according to their household profile, mode and duration of commute, frequency of holiday travel, as well as spending and dining habits. This is useful especially with a Singapore household consuming an average of seven per cent more electricity during the months of April to August, due to the hotter months when there is higher usage of air conditioning. With an increase of people staying at home, it also points to higher electricity and water consumption. On average, a consumer in Singapore emits more than eight tonnes of carbon emissions annually due to their lifestyle and consumption patterns. More than 400 rain trees are required to absorb this impact on the environment.

Around 3 per cent of our total greenhouse gas emissions were generated from the waste incineration process in Singapore[4]. So, how can individuals track and reduce their carbon emissions? SP Group (SP) has developed a carbon footprint calculator, which anyone can use to track the impact of daily activities and lifestyle. My Carbon Footprint enables consumers to keep tabs on the environmental impact of their energy consumption and lifestyle choices. Called My Carbon Footprint, this new feature in the SP Utilities app enables users to calculate their carbon emissions and the results are referenced against the national average. These projections are based on local data such as food consumption, driving conditions and air travel originating from Singapore. The calculator also draws its projection from common lifestyle and spending habits in Singapore, such as purchase of clothing and footwear, recreational activities or communication, to name a few. Most importantly, the calculator provides practical tips on reducing carbon footprint. My Carbon Footprint is the latest feature in the app, which also equips users to monitor and reduce their energy consumption.

Powering the Future SP Group, with its world-class power transmission networks and services, is expanding into the region and Executive Engineer Hor Thon Hern is proud to be part of it. Hor Thon Hern implements equipment renewal projects across Singapore in his role as Executive Engineer. He is an SP Mid-Term Scholar and he holds a Bachelor of Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical & Electronic Engineering) with First Class Honours from Nanyang Technological University. Hor Thon Hern’s love for electrical engineering since young fueled his passion to kickstart a career in the energy sector. When he interned with SP in 2015, he went behind the scenes to uncover first-hand, the importance of maintaining the reliability of the national grid so families can maintain their quality of life. His stint at the substation reaffirmed his decision to jumpstart his career with SP. The success of SP would not have been possible without its skilled and dedicated employees like 27-year-old Hor Thon Hern. The Executive Engineer shared with BrightSparks his engaging work with SP, and the opportunities presented to him as a recipient of the SP Mid-Term Scholarship. How did you get interested in power transmission? When I was a child, I always wondered how a power outlet could power appliances plugged into it. I also enjoyed fixing home appliances like electric fan and extension cord with my father when I was in primary school. It was not until secondary school when I learned about the science behind the flow of electricity which probably laid the foundation of my pursuit of a degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering in Nanyang Technological University (NTU). During my internship at SP in 2015, I witnessed first-hand the process of the 66kV switchgear installation. From the delivery of the switchgear equipment to the rigorous testing, I was intrigued by the complexity of our transmission system. I had to be at the substation every day during the internship but I actually found it very fulfilling! You are a SP Mid-Term Scholar. In your opinion, why should students pursue a scholarship? Everyone needs a goal in life to stay motivated. A scholarship is like an engine that keeps you moving and driven throughout your undergraduate studies and eventually lands you your dream job! Rewinding a bit, how did you discover the scholarship and why did you shortlist it? I came across the SP scholarship programme while scrolling through the BrightSparks website for career opportunities. After researching on SP, I was particularly inspired by SP’s commitment in renewable energy to safeguard the environment for the future generations. What was the defining factor that made you apply for the scholarship? I felt that SP, as the national grid operator for Singapore, would be an excellent training ground for me to hone my technical skills to become a well-rounded engineer. And, what led to your decision to apply for a mid-term scholarship? It was when I was at a crossroads in my second year of undergraduate studies, uncertain on which modules to specialise in. The SP scholarship included an internship opportunity which I believed would offer a realistic insight into the workings of the energy industry which will help narrow my choice of specialisation. What was your biggest takeaway during your university days at NTU? Looking back, I deeply appreciate the opportunity to learn and discuss ideas with like-minded peers. I was born in a small town in Malaysia and furthered my tertiary education in NTU. University life was an eye-opener as I stepped out of my comfort zone and interacted with people from all walks of life. I slowly honed my life skills such as interpersonal, people management and social intelligence skills. It prepared me for the different situations posed to me during the daily work life now. How did you apply what you have learnt to your current work? My mentor at SP once told me that “every complex system you see is built from fundamentals”. I finally understood what he meant when I saw how our network system works. Whenever I face any engineering challenges, I always return to the fundamentals I’ve learnt to troubleshoot and derive practical solutions. I am so thankful to have a mentor who helped me navigate the first leg of my career! Tell us more about your role and responsibilities. I currently work in the Distribution Projects section which implements equipment renewal projects across Singapore. Our work encompass the renewal and replacement of aging equipment such as switchgear, cables and transformers ahead of time. To do this smoothly, we have to analyze network configurations for risk assessments before implementing the replacement work. The entire process is critical to ensure reliable services to our customers. What is your most significant career achievement to date? I attained the 22kV switching certificate in 2018 which was sponsored by SP. With the certification, it allows me to operate high tension equipment in the SP PowerGrid network. To attain such certification, we had to undergo comprehensive in-house training and one year of practical experience. This is to ensure that we are adequately trained and armed with sufficient technical knowledge before handling the equipment. The training deepened my skillsets and I was able to expand my job scope. What is the work culture at SP? At SP, safety is our highest priority. We are trained to keep ourselves safe at work and also ensure the safety of stakeholders whom we work closely with. SP also embraces innovation. Employees are encouraged to learn new skills such as building apps to improve productivity. One of the apps that I built is used to automate the submission of allowance claims. Now that I am more proficient in building apps, I am being tasked as a trainer for my colleagues who are keen to be app developers too! What possibilities are there for scholars working at your organisation? SP believes in investing in its people to help them be future-ready. Apart from our core engineering work, we are given the opportunity to attend senior management meetings to understand the strategic directives in this dynamic industry. One of SP’s growth areas is in renewable energies. Fresh graduates who share the passion should consider joining SP. What advice would you give to aspiring scholars looking to join SP? If you are inspired to be part of the team to power the nation, SP is the organization to realise your ambition. You will play an important part to maintain a world-class power network that reaches more than 1.6 million residential and business clients in Singapore. SP’s EDGE Programme, which caters to fresh graduates, aims to groom new engineers to grow with the energy utility industry with a structured multi-disciplinary training programme. Fellow engineers whom I speak to exude a sense of pride in upholding the nation’s grid and I believe you will feel the same if you join SP.
