News Release SP Group awarded BCA grant to empower greener buildings NUS' UTown to pilot SP's digital energy solutions at selected buildings Singapore, 16 June 2021 –The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has awarded a grant to SP Group (SP) under the Green Buildings Innovation Cluster (GBIC) Programme, to develop and implement technologies and digital solutions to push the limits of buildings’ energy efficiency standards. The GBIC programme is one of the enablers of the Singapore Green Building Masterplan, which in turn supports the Singapore Green Plan 2030. Equipping building operators with smart tools to be energy-efficient 2          Under GBIC funding, SP Group will pilot a dynamic online digital portal and an artificial intelligence (A.I.) powered mobile application tool to provide real-time electricity and water usage insights to both occupants and building facilities managers. Through the portal, users can keep track of the building’s aggregated water and electricity consumption, and the resulting carbon emissions to enable them to proactively identify ways to reduce their carbon footprint and utilities usage. The portal will come with advanced data analytics to assist building operators to plan and achieve more efficient building management by providing actionable recommendations on saving energy and an A.I. enabled anomaly detection function to prevent energy wastage. Empowering building occupants to make sustainable choices  3          Building occupants will also be equipped with an “At Work” function of the SP Utilities App to encourage them to achieve a more sustainable lifestyle. The new function aims to enhance the occupant’s sustainability experience by providing them personalised energy data to build awareness and better understand their building’s consumption performance. Occupants will also be encouraged to adopt green behaviour through gamification such as quizzes and energy saving challenges between occupants, reminders, rewards and tips on saving energy.  Pilot of digital solutions with NUS 4          The National University of Singapore’s (NUS) University Town (UTown) will be the first development to have these digital solutions implemented under this programme. The solutions will be piloted at two buildings at UTown – the Education Resource Centre and the Stephen Riady Centre – and will be installed in the first half of 2022. Both buildings contain various categories of spatial use such as offices, teaching rooms, sports facilities and commercial tenants. This will allow SP and BCA to test the solutions on a variety of areas. Sharing of Building Energy Data in SLEB Smart Hub 5          SP will work together with BCA to incorporate Green Mark data reporting functions into the digital solutions to facilitate the sharing of information between buildings and BCA’s SLEB Smart Hub[1]. The SLEB Smart Hub will serve as an interface to receive, combine and analyse data from different resources and report them to the BCA Green Mark certification system. This enables benchmarking of the building’s energy performance against other similar building types, and piloting of green technologies including automatic energy data reporting for data analytics[2]. 6          Group Chief Executive Officer of SP, Mr Stanley Huang, said, “Decarbonisation is a collective effort and we are at the forefront of enabling this paradigm shift through our strengths in integrated smart energy solutions. Leveraging digitisation and big data analyses, we can enable all building stakeholders to drive positive change at scale. With the support of BCA and building operators, we will develop user-centric solutions to advance next-gen green, energy-efficient buildings, and create green communities that will accelerate a carbon neutral future for Singapore.”  7          Chief Executive of BCA, Mr Kelvin Wong said, “The Green Buildings Innovation Cluster or GBIC Programme has been a cornerstone in furthering the deployment of innovation and technology in improving energy efficiency of buildings in Singapore. With active partnership with the industry, GBIC will be an enabler in meeting one of the outcomes of the Singapore Green Building Masterplan, which is to achieve an 80% improvement in energy efficiency for best-in-class green buildings by 2030. SP Group’s work in developing smart technologies will help building operators and occupants to reduce energy consumption. With buildings accounting for over 20% of Singapore’s emissions, BCA welcomes like-minded firms to partner us to reduce the carbon footprint of the Built Environment, working towards our collective goal of a more sustainable and liveable Singapore.” 8          The BCA Green Building Innovation Cluster aims to help push the boundaries of buildings’ energy efficiency standards under the Singapore Green Building Masterplan (SGBMP) and aid the transition to a low-carbon built environment. The SGBMP supports Singapore’s agenda on sustainable development as part of the Singapore Green Plan 2030, and the nation’s efforts to halve its 2030 peak greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Powering Future Engineering Talent SUSTAINABILITY All set for the race are Singapore Polytechnic’s SunSPEC team (from left), Ng Qianhui, Roy Leung, Effy Chang and Lau Lok Yee. SP Group has been SunSPEC’s presenter and main sponsor since 2015, helping more than 70 students hone their engineering skills on their self-made solar car. A gruelling 3,000 km solar car race in blistering hot yet sometimes freezing conditions across the Australian desert will challenge a Singapore Polytechnic student team called SunSPEC. The team is out to prove that solar energy can effectively and efficiently power a car across this distance. The World Solar Challenge is arduous and the unexpected can happen – such as unpredictable climate conditions, strong winds, technical and mechanical faults and other incidents. Since February, the team has been working tirelessly to understand the workings of the solar car, SunSPEC 6, which has been entered for this year’s edition of the biennial race. They have picked up the baton from previous cohorts of the polytechnic’s final-year students. SunSPEC team members gaining hands-on experience under the tutelage of Singapore Polytechnic staff. Students are trained in mechanical systems, battery monitoring systems, solar panels, and electrical and electronic components. They also learn about the telemetry system which harnesses data analytics that serve as a health check for the solar car during the race. Eventually, their technical skills will be tested to the extreme as they have to fix all problems on the spot. Nothing will be left to chance, says Ng Qianhui, one of the 17 students in this year’s team. “Anything can go wrong. I’ve learnt to love this process of finding and fixing problems. It’s the way to be prepared,” she says. SP Group engineer, Lim Liang Yuan (in blue), a SunSPEC alumnus, returned to provide support to the team (in black) in the lead-up to the race. A comprehensive knowledge of the car is also necessary. “Even if something works, I want to know why it works,” says Roy Leung who is the telemetry expert. He will pull out connection points even if they are working because under them, there could be faults waiting to happen. “Battery queen” Effy Chang so known for being the most well-versed on battery monitoring systems, sees the car as a system, with the battery working in harmony with other components to perform optimally. Training future engineers can be expensive. The cost of materials can be substantial. Singapore Polytechnic lecturer and team manager Foo Fang Siong is very encouraged that SP Group is supporting the team with a $1 million sponsorship over five years, with the aim of grooming future engineers in creating sustainable solutions. “With this sponsorship, we are able to train and prepare the students as well as the staff for new industry trends and skills. This is since the SunSPEC 6 solar car is actually an Electric Vehicle and leverages similar technologies,” he says. Team participants, all final-year diploma students from various disciplines, can also apply for scholarships from SP Group. Alumni from previous SunSPEC teams who have joined SP are also returning to encourage and support the current group of participants. SP Group engineer, Lim Liang Yuan (in blue), a SunSPEC alumnus, returned to provide support to the team (in black) in the lead-up to the race. Meanwhile, the students are fast learners, absorbing as much as they can about solar technology and the workings of the car. They will solve problems quickly and leverage technology to give their solar car a strategic advantage in the race. Being on the team has made the students more aware that engineering and sustainability require more than just technical expertise. Endurance, persistence and problem solving are important skills to have. Says Qianhui, who is driving the solar car with Lau Lok Yee this year, “Don’t fear to fail. I might plan that one way might work. But there are faults, so amend and reiterate until you get it right.” To be a good engineer takes more than just problem-solving skills. It also means commitment, teamwork, the agility to adapt quickly. It sometimes even means taking a worldview to evolve with energy trends.   Effy, however, continues to toil hard for the solar car to perform optimally. After all, engineering is about reliability and creating real-world solutions to improve quality of life, she says.  This year’s SunSPEC team (in black tops) with staff from SP Group.

B10 | THE STRAITS TIMES | SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2020 | The potential of green hydrogen Hydrogen gas is a fuel with plenty of potential. But because it is highly combustible, managing it safely is key. Energy utilities firm SP Group has found a way to do this, HOW IT WORKS 1 Solar panels Sunlight is harnessed and converted into electricity. This electricity is used mainly to power the lights, computers and air-conditioners in the building. 1 Battery and power conversion system with hydrogen generated using renewable energy. Its concept lab at Woodleigh Park is now 100 per cent powered by renewable energy. Energy management system Metal hydride storage tanks 3 4 Fuel cell ADVANTAGES OF HYDROGEN ENERGY SYSTEM • Hydrogen gas is generated using a renewable energy source, instead of fossil fuels. • Hydrogen is stored in a safe way. • Overcomes challenges such as the intermittency of sunshine, since electricity can be "stored" in the metal hydride tanks. 2 Water electrolyser Excess electricity generated by the solar panels during bright, sunny days is channelled to the water electrolyser. At this stage, electricity is used to drive a chemical process known as electrolysis, which separates water (H2O) into its two component elements, hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). These are collected in gaseous form – hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2). 3 Metal hydride storage tanks The oxygen gas generated in step 2 is discharged into the environment. But the hydrogen gas is stored in metal hydride tanks comprising powder made of a special metal alloy. The hydrogen gas is absorbed by the metal alloy, allowing the gas to be stored safely at low pressure. Fuel cell When electricity is needed during periods when there is no sunlight, such as at night or during cloudy days, the hydrogen stored in the tanks is converted back into hydrogen gas by heating it with the hot Water electrolyser 2 4 2,000kWh 5 water from the fuel cell. Hydrogen gas is then sent to the fuel cell to combine with oxygen from the atmosphere, to produce electricity and hot water. SP Group’s zero emission building BY THE NUMBERS The energy consumption of the building is around The indoor floor space of the building is 574 sq m a month Approximately the monthly consumption of 4-room HDB flats It’s about the size of a 20-foot container Source: SP GROUP, GOOGLE MAPS STRAITS TIMES GRAPHICS: LEE HUP KHENG H is for clean, alternative power Singapore looking to producing hydrogen the zero-emissions way by tapping solar energy Audrey Tan Environment Correspondent As fossil fuels burn to feed the world’s hunger for energy, the blanket of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is thickening. But as temperatures climb and extreme weather events pummel various parts of the world, nations are starting to realise that greener ways of powering cities and economies are needed. Renewable energy, such as that from the sun, wind or tides, is a solution that has been widely deployed around the world. But alternative “clean fuels” such as hydrogen gas have also been gaining attention from the research community, including in Singapore. THE ADVANTAGES OF HYDROGEN The main reason hydrogen gas is touted as a “clean” fuel is that it does not produce carbon dioxide when it is burned to produce energy, unlike other forms of fossil fuel. Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas driving global warming. Mr Goh Chee Kiong, chief executive of the new energies business at home-grown energy utilities company SP Group, said: “When hydrogen gas is used as a fuel, it produces water and energy.” But for hydrogen to be a truly green fuel, it has to be generated in a way that also produces zero emissions, he said. Hydrogen is abundant in the environment, but it exists in other forms, such as water and methane. As the United States Department of Energy explains on the website of its Alternative Fuels Data Centre, “one of the challenges of using hydrogen as a fuel comes from being able to efficiently extract it from these compounds”. For example, hydrogen gas can be extracted through a chemical process known as electrolysis, which involves running an electrical current through water to split the water molecule into its component elements. Mr Goh noted: “If the electricity required for electrolysis comes from fossil fuel-generated sources, then hydrogen gas may not be that green after all.” Another potential of hydrogen lies in its energy storage capability, which can be used in tandem with renewable energy systems. Renewable energy sources are often intermittent. Even in sunny Singapore, solar energy has its limits. Overcast days, for instance, make it harder for solar panels to do their job. But if excess electricity produced during sunny, cloudless days can be stored, such zero-emissions electricity can power offices and homes even when there is no sunlight. Traditional energy storage options include lithium ion batteries, which function like the regular batteries used in home appliances. But the drawback is that these gradually lose their charge over time. Mr Goh noted the potential of hydrogen fuel cells, which, in essence, work like batteries in that they can “store” electricity generated: “In temperate countries, there is plenty of sunshine during the summer months. “If excess renewable energy generated during this period can be stored effectively over months, this green energy can be used again during the winter months, when energy consumption for heating is expected to go up.” Professor Subodh Mhaisalkar, executive director of the Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), said batteries are an energy storage technology, whereas hydrogen can be used for energy storage and electricity generation. He said: “With significantly higher energy per kilogram compared with batteries, hydrogen is an ideal long-term large-scale energy storage solution. Batteries, on the other hand, are more suitable for applications that need short response periods of minutes to hours.” But despite hydrogen’s advantages, some obstacles to its wider use are that it is expensive and easily combustible. Research is ongoing to lower the costs and also make it safer to transport and use. A SINGAPORE PILOT In Singapore, SP Group is trialling a hydrogen energy system at its concept lab in Woodleigh. The system, developed in partnership with investment firm Marubeni Corporation and Tohoku University in Japan, generates green hydrogen through electrolysis powered by solar energy. The hydrogen is then stored in special tanks comprising a metal alloy. Hydrogen atoms bind to the metal alloy, allowing it to be stored safely at low pressure. Since October last year, the building, which consumes about 2,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a month – equivalent to the monthly usage of five four-room Housing Board flats – has been able to operate independently from the national grid. SP Group said this makes the building the first zero-emission building in South-east Asia. There are other “net-zero” energy buildings here, which typically harness solar energy. These buildings produce more energy than they consume, but may still draw from the national grid at night. While the cost of such hydrogen energy systems is high today, more research and greater deployment would bring costs down, Mr Goh said, pointing to a similar trend in solar photovoltaic technology. He declined to reveal the cost of the hydrogen energy system, but said SP Group was investing in the technology as it recognised the potential for such a system to be deployed around the world. Professor Chan Siew Hwa, a hydrogen expert and President’s Chair in Energy at NTU, said hydrogen is an attractive option for Singapore, which has limited renewable energy options. “We have to diversify energy sources beyond that of solar in order to develop energy solutions to meet our electricity needs more reliably and quickly. Hydrogen has stood up to be a promising choice for Singapore’s future energy outlook,” he said. audreyt@sph.com.sg Left: (From far left) SP Group deputy director Lu Yang; Mr Goh Chee Kiong, chief executive of SP Group’s new energies business; and SP Group senior engineer Sethu Sundar Pethaiah standing in front of a hydrogen energy system at its concept lab in Woodleigh.

Grab teams up with SP Group to bring in 200 new electric cars from next year ZHAKI ABDULLAH Ride-hailing firm Grab will bring in 200 new electric cars from next year, as part of a partnership with energy utilities provider SP Group. Grab said yesterday the new vehicles, which will hit the roads progressively from early next year, will be available through its rental arm GrabRentals. Under the partnership, Grab drivers will enjoy preferential rates at SP Group’s electric-vehicle charging stations and discounted parking when their cars are being charged. In June, SP Group announced that it would introduce a network of 500 fast-charging stations by 2020 to be placed in areas such as housing estates and business parks, with the first 30 to be set up by year-end. Grab said it would work with SP Group to study usage patterns of its electric vehicles to improve the accessibility and utilisation of charging stations. The Singapore-based ridehailing firm said more details regarding cost of charging, as well as the electric vehicle models to be used, will be available by the end of this year. It said, however, the cars will have a range of 400km per charge, which allows for a full day of driving on 40 minutes of charging. Mr Goh Chee Kiong, SP Group’s strategic development head, said the partnership with Grab will help “accelerate the wider adoption of EVs (electric vehicles) in Singapore and support the nation’s efforts to reduce our carbon footprint”. “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,” said Grab Singapore head Lim Kell Jay. While fully electric cars are already available through Grab, their numbers are not known. Green vehicles have taken off recently, with the number of electric and plug-in hybrid cars here at 647 as of last month, up from 137 two years ago. ComfortDelGro introduced two fully electric Hyundai Ioniq cabs to its fleet last month as part of a one-year trial. azhaki@sph.com.sg

The average monthly electricity bill for families living in four-room HDB flats will decrease by $2.39 (before 7% GST) (Appendix 3: Average monthly electricity bills of domestic consumers). 30.00 Quarterly Household Electricity Tariff* 25.00 20.00 22.79 24.22 23.43 24.24 23.02 19.60 21.43 20.76 15.00 10.00 5.00 0.00 Apr - Jun 19 Jul - Sep 19 Oct - Dec 19 Jan - Mar 20 Apr - Jun 20 Jul - Sep 20 Oct - Dec 20 Jan - Mar 21 *before 7% GST SP Group reviews the electricity tariffs quarterly based on guidelines set by the Energy Market Authority (EMA), the electricity industry regulator. The tariffs shown in Appendix 2 have been approved by the EMA. Issued by: SP Group 2 Kallang Sector Singapore 349277 www.spgroup.com.sg Appendix 1 BREAKDOWN OF ELECTRICITY TARIFF 1. 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 Group): 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 Group): 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.

SP Group starts vehicle-to-grid technology trial � THU, JUL 08, 2021 - 9:24 PM | UPDATED THU, JUL 08, 2021 - 9:35 PM TAY PECK GEK � peckgek@sph.com.sg � @PeckGekBT Jimmy Khoo, chief executive of SP PowerGrid, with the V2G-capable Nissan LEAF and a V2G bi-directional charger that will be used in the Singapore trial. NATIONAL grid operator SP Group (SP) has started its trial of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and has raised its investment in a V2G technology rm as Singapore progresses towards wider adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). The company aims to test the viability of tapping the energy stored in EVs in the trial to enhance the reliability of the grid, which will need to support more than 600,000 vehicles when Singapore phases out internal combustion engine vehicles by 2040, said SP in its media statement on Thursday. When charged, EVs store energy in their lithium-ion batteries, which serve as small energy storage systems that can transfer energy back to balance the power grid, such as when renewable energy sources such as solar power fluctuate due to weather conditions. If V2G technology is viable, owners of EVs can be paid for the use of their batteries when they are tapped to mitigate the intermittency problem in other energy sources. SP has stepped up its investment in the V2G technology rm The Mobility House (TMH), but did not provide the speci cs. SP only stated that TMH has a presence in Munich, Zurich and Belmont (in California) , and provides a non-proprietary software for integrating vehicle batteries into power grids using intelligent charging and storage solutions. SP is providing four V2G charging points at SP's premises for the trial, which will be completed in June 2022. V2G technology allows energy transfer between the batteries within an EV and the power grid, and so is more sophisticated than uni-directional charging of EVs.
