News Release UOB and SP Group partner to offset 100% or more of household electricity carbon emissions for UOB EVOL cardholders Cardholders can now achieve their sustainability goals seamlessly and conveniently when they charge their utilities bills to their card Singapore, 23 November 2022 – UOB EVOL cardholders will now be able to offset 100 per cent or more of their household electricity carbon footprint for free when they charge SP Group’s (SP) utilities bills to their credit card, via a new exclusive feature jointly launched by UOB and SP this month. With this new feature, when customers charge SP utilities bills to their UOB EVOL card, UOB will fund and contribute 2 per cent of the billed amount to purchase My Green Credits on the SP app on behalf of the customer. My Green Credits is an affordable and convenient way for customers to get on the sustainability movement by greening their energy consumption through the purchase the amount of “green credits” in the form of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)1. For example, when customers charge a $90 utilities bill to their UOB EVOL card, they will receive $1.80 worth of complimentary My Green Credits from UOB, equivalent to 2% of the billed amount. My Green Credits is purchased at a cost of S$0.12 per 25 kWh, which will translate to offsetting 375 kWh (kilowatt hour) or equivalent to an average national 4-room HDB flat’s electricity usage. This is equivalent to offsetting 100 per cent of the home’s electricity carbon footprint (see Annex for illustration). New UOB EVOL cardmembers paying their SP bills via the SP app will automatically enjoy the complimentary My Green Credits, while existing cardholders who are using the SP app to pay their bills before 10 November 2022 will simply need to do a one-time re-add of their EVOL card as a payment method to be eligible. My Green Credits will be automatically reflected within the customer’s SP app, with no additional effort required from them when bill payments are made. This benefit is available for both one-time and recurring SP bills payments. UOB EVOL card is the first in the market to partner with SP Group, Singapore’s national grid operator and leading sustainable energy solutions provider in the region, to offer customers complimentary My Green Credits when they use their EVOL Card to make utilities payment. This feature is applicable to all existing and new EVOL cardholders. The My Green Credits purchased will go towards supporting sustainable energy project developments in the region for the generation of green energy. 1Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are tradable green energy attributes that represent units of electricity generated from renewable energy generation facilities.

In addition to My Green Credits, users can also use the app to manage their utilities, reduce electricity consumption and contribute to Singapore’s sustainability targets to achieve a low-carbon future. On another sustainable front, as part of the UOB EVOL Card My Green Credits launch, SP supported National Parks Board’s (NParks) OneMillionTrees movement to plant a million more trees across Singapore by 2030 through NParks’ registered charity and IPC, Garden City Fund’s Plant-A-Tree programme. UOB and SP will plant 50 trees in April 2023, bringing us closer to realising our vision of becoming a City in Nature, a key pillar of the Singapore Green Plan 2030. Strategic partnership to create better solutions for customers This year marks the fourth year of partnership between UOB and SP, with joint efforts to empower customers on their green goals. Previous collaborations include the purchase of RECs through SP as part of a National Day promotion in 2021 for the EVOL card. UOB has also launched an API with SP in 2020, to allow UOB customers to instantly use their UNI$ to off-set their utility bills. Moving forward, UOB will work with SP to launch another new feature in the first quarter of 2023 that allows UOB cardholders to use their UNI$ to redeem for My Green Credits via the SP mobile app. They can choose which local or international renewable energy projects that they would like to support with the My Green Credits redeemed. Under the My Green Credits initiative, SP is supporting various green projects ranging from a solar farm in Vietnam, to a wind farm in Thailand, to a solar rooftop system in Singapore, to help reduce emissions and impact on the environment. In line with Singapore’s strong push to electrify its vehicle population, ecosystem, UOB and SP also have plans to provide promotional offers to customers who use their UOB cards to pay for electric vehicles (EV) charging at SP EV charging points. Over the past 2 years, UOB has been building up a suite of sustainable future solutions to make it simpler for customers to create impact with their everyday choices. The Bank has an established sustainable investing approach which set standards for its Singapore and regional footprint by curating a suite of sustainable investments across funds, bonds and structured products. This includes its first UOB Personal Financial Services (PFS) secured loans green product framework, serving as the foundation of its Go Green home and car loans. The framework leverages insight from Morningstar Sustainalytics, a leading global provider of ESG research, ratings, and data. In November 2022, UOB also will be availing a digital doorway to sustainable banking on the UOB TMRW app, allowing customers to easily access green deals, investments and banking products on mobile.

New Residential Demand Response Pilot to Empower Households to Reduce Electricity Consumption during Demand Peakshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/New-Residential-Demand-Response-Pilot-to-Empower-Households-to-Reduce-Electricity-Consumption-during-Demand-Peaks
Media Release New Residential Demand Response Pilot to Empower Households to Reduce Electricity Consumption during Demand Peaks The Energy Market Authority (EMA) and SP Group (SP) will pilot a Residential Demand Response (R-DR) programme to empower households equipped with smart meters to actively reduce electricity consumption during demand peaks in the power system. Targeted to be launched by second half of 2024, this pilot is the first-of-its-kind in Singapore to call upon households to make a significant difference for a more resilient and sustainable energy future. With system peak demand forecasted to increase at a compound annual growth rate of up to 6.5% over the next five years, reducing electricity consumption temporarily during peak demand periods, otherwise known as Demand Response (DR), helps to keep the power system running smoothly and more efficiently by making use of demand-side resources in addition to supply-side (such as large conventional power plants) to balance electricity demand and supply.  For commercial and industrial companies, EMA has seen about a 1.5 times increase in demand-side resources, totaling to about 100MW since the launch of EMA’s regulatory sandbox[1]. With smart meters progressively being deployed to residential and non-residential consumers, more consumers will soon be able to contribute to DR, by using these smart meters to monitor their electricity consumption, making electricity management simpler and more rewarding. Consumers can keep track of their weekly carbon emissions and adjust their electricity consumption habits accordingly to help reduce emissions, thereby minimising their environmental impact. As of September 2023, SP has installed more than 834,000 smart electricity meters across residential and non-residential premises. The residential demand response pilot will use the SP mobile application (SP app) to send alerts to participating households to temporarily reduce or defer their electricity consumption. Households can take action by deferring the use of home appliances such as washing machines or dishwashers, or lower the temperature or even switch off air-conditioning. Participants will in turn enjoy benefits such as financial incentives. On the pilot for households, Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said: “The demand response pilot helps to involve households in lowering electricity demand during peak periods. This can help create a more sustainable and efficient energy ecosystem for everyone.” Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, said: “Partnering EMA on this pilot, SP Group will empower consumers with digital solutions to be more energy efficient and reduce carbon emission. Enhanced features on our SP App will provide consumers with timely and useful information on their utilities usage and patterns. Insights from this data are aimed at nudging consumers to make adjustments easily to reduce their consumption." [1] In 2022, EMA launched a two-year regulatory sandbox for commercial and industrial companies to optimise their energy consumption. Participating companies will have to manage their electricity demand when activated and receive payments as an incentive for reducing their electrical demand on the national power grid. -- End -- About the Energy Market Authority The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry.

Supported by the Energy Market Authority (EMA), SP Group (SP) and the Science and Technology Policy and Plans Office (S&TPPO) under the Prime Minister’s Office, the upcoming Grid Digital Twin will serve to enhance Singapore’s grid resilience to ensure grid reliability and support the deployment of cleaner energy sources.   The Grid Digital Twin is a virtual representation of the physical power grid assets and network and operates using real-time and historical data. It comprises two key models: Asset Twin1 for the health management of grid assets (such as substations, transformers, cables); and Network Twin2 for the assessment of impact on the grid when connecting new energy sources or consumers to the grid. The Grid Digital Twin is currently in a prototype stage and is expected to be fully developed over the next few years. When fully deployed, it will enable SP to better plan, operate and maintain the national power grid through modelling and simulations so that the actual works can be carried out in a more effective and efficient way. (Refer to Annex for more information.) Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin include improving network planning analysis and remote monitoring of asset conditions, thereby saving manpower resources in carrying out extensive physical inspections. As the Grid Digital Twin provides a more holistic model of the grid, it can facilitate planning of infrastructure for different needs (such as installation of electric vehicle chargers, and connection of solar photovoltaic systems and energy storage systems). Progressive enhancements to the Grid Digital Twin are in place to make it more accurate and efficient, as SP continues to digitise the existing electricity assets under the network.   In tandem with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, Singapore is looking to greener sources of energy and more diversification of energy supply, such as solar deployments, energy storage systems and vehicle-to-grid technologies. In addition, power grid operations will become more complex with increasing electrification and deployment of more distributed energy resources (DERs). Currently, the national power grid comprises over 18,000 transformers, with more than 27,000 km of underground cables interconnecting over 11,000 substations. The Grid Digital Twin will therefore help to future-proof our power grid, to ensure that it is well-equipped to manage such complexities while maintaining reliability of grid operations.   Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said, “The digital twin for our national power grid will help to enhance the reliability of our electricity supply and support our transition towards greater energy sustainability. With the pressing need to tackle climate change, the power grid needs to evolve to support a more complex power system that will connect to more diverse sources of cleaner energy as well as a growing network to meet rising demand.”   Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, said, “SP Group works closely with EMA to explore measures to improve Singapore’s grid reliability and resilience. Harnessing the power of digitisation, the Grid Digital Twin enables us to monitor and test different scenarios based on a virtual replica of the grid. We can then effectively test potential upgrades and enhancements, and future-ready innovations such as the projects under the SP Group - NTU Joint Lab to support our ambition to empower the future of energy.”   When completed, the Grid Digital Twin will be a key initiative in contributing towards Singapore’s overall efforts for greater sustainability through enhanced grid network planning and operations.   Annex: Factsheet on the Singapore Power Grid Digital Twin -- End -- About Energy Market Authority The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry.

The digital twin of Singapore’s power grid will comprise two key models: Asset Twin to optimise the planning, operations and maintenance of SP’s grid assets (such as substations, transformers, switchgears and cables). The Asset Twin is able to remotely monitor and analyse the condition and performance of assets and identify potential risks in grid operations early. This allows SP Group (SP) to make informed decisions on renewal and maintenance plans accordingly. The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) to SP and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory3   Network Twin for impact assessment on grid. This uses modelling and simulations to determine the impact of additional loads (such as charging of electric vehicles) and distributed energy resources (such as solar photovoltaics and energy storage systems) on the grid. Using an advanced software framework known as the Multi Energy System Modelling & Optimisation (MESMO)4, the Network Twin is able to provide SP with a high-level assessment of the impact of demands on the grid and any upgrades required for different scenarios. The Network Twin is being developed by the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with its technology partner TUMCREATE Ltd. The project is funded by the Public Sector Science & Technology Policy & Plans Office (S&TPPO).   Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin are: Enhanced condition monitoring of assets and prioritisation of asset renewal, by having a decision tool that can identify risks and prioritise grid assets renewal plans. The tool will take into account health, utilisation and failure history of the grid assets.   Improvement in carrying out network planning analysis by having a better network utilisation when balancing new or peak electricity loads.   Optimisation of asset investment, by identifying potential synergies between asset renewal and upgrades for load growth without compromising grid resilience.   Grid Digital Twin comprising the Asset Twin and Network Twin (Image Credit: Energy Market Authority) KEY VISUAL FOR ASSET TWIN Overview of Asset Health and Criticality Index for the Distribution Network (Image Credit: SP Group-NTU Joint Laboratory) KEY VISUAL FOR NETWORK TWIN Dashboard for analysing electric vehicle charging impact on the distribution grid using the Network Twin (Image Credit: Institute of High Performance Computing and TUMCREATE) 1 The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by EMA to SP Group and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory. 2 The Network Twin is being developed by the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with its technology partner TUMCREATE Ltd.

Progressive enhancements to the Grid Digital Twin are in place to make it more accurate and efficient, as SP continues to digitise the existing electricity assets under the network.   In tandem with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, Singapore is looking to greener sources of energy and more diversification of energy supply, such as solar deployments, energy storage systems and vehicle-to-grid technologies. In addition, power grid operations will become more complex with increasing electrification and deployment of more distributed energy resources (DERs). Currently, the national power grid comprises over 18,000 transformers, with more than 27,000 km of underground cables interconnecting over 11,000 substations. The Grid Digital Twin will therefore help to future-proof our power grid, to ensure that it is well-equipped to manage such complexities while maintaining reliability of grid operations.   Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said, “The digital twin for our national power grid will help to enhance the reliability of our electricity supply and support our transition towards greater energy sustainability. With the pressing need to tackle climate change, the power grid needs to evolve to support a more complex power system that will connect to more diverse sources of cleaner energy as well as a growing network to meet rising demand.”   Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, said, “SP Group works closely with EMA to explore measures to improve Singapore’s grid reliability and resilience. Harnessing the power of digitisation, the Grid Digital Twin enables us to monitor and test different scenarios based on a virtual replica of the grid. We can then effectively test potential upgrades and enhancements, and future-ready innovations such as the projects under the SP Group - NTU Joint Lab to support our ambition to empower the future of energy.”   When completed, the Grid Digital Twin will be a key initiative in contributing towards Singapore’s overall efforts for greater sustainability through enhanced grid network planning and operations.   Annex: Factsheet on the Singapore Power Grid Digital Twin -- End -- About Energy Market Authority The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry.

The digital twin of Singapore’s power grid will comprise two key models: Asset Twin to optimise the planning, operations and maintenance of SP’s grid assets (such as substations, transformers, switchgears and cables). The Asset Twin is able to remotely monitor and analyse the condition and performance of assets and identify potential risks in grid operations early. This allows SP Group (SP) to make informed decisions on renewal and maintenance plans accordingly. The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) to SP and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory3   Network Twin for impact assessment on grid. This uses modelling and simulations to determine the impact of additional loads (such as charging of electric vehicles) and distributed energy resources (such as solar photovoltaics and energy storage systems) on the grid. Using an advanced software framework known as the Multi Energy System Modelling & Optimisation (MESMO)4, the Network Twin is able to provide SP with a high-level assessment of the impact of demands on the grid and any upgrades required for different scenarios. The Network Twin is being developed by the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with its technology partner TUMCREATE Ltd. The project is funded by the Public Sector Science & Technology Policy & Plans Office (S&TPPO).   Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin are: Enhanced condition monitoring of assets and prioritisation of asset renewal, by having a decision tool that can identify risks and prioritise grid assets renewal plans. The tool will take into account health, utilisation and failure history of the grid assets.   Improvement in carrying out network planning analysis by having a better network utilisation when balancing new or peak electricity loads.   Optimisation of asset investment, by identifying potential synergies between asset renewal and upgrades for load growth without compromising grid resilience.   Grid Digital Twin comprising the Asset Twin and Network Twin (Image Credit: Energy Market Authority) KEY VISUAL FOR ASSET TWIN Overview of Asset Health and Criticality Index for the Distribution Network (Image Credit: SP Group-NTU Joint Laboratory) KEY VISUAL FOR NETWORK TWIN Dashboard for analysing electric vehicle charging impact on the distribution grid using the Network Twin (Image Credit: Institute of High Performance Computing and TUMCREATE) 1 The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by EMA to SP Group and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory. 2 The Network Twin is being developed by the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with its technology partner TUMCREATE Ltd.

Progressive enhancements to the Grid Digital Twin are in place to make it more accurate and efficient, as SP continues to digitise the existing electricity assets under the network.   In tandem with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, Singapore is looking to greener sources of energy and more diversification of energy supply, such as solar deployments, energy storage systems and vehicle-to-grid technologies. In addition, power grid operations will become more complex with increasing electrification and deployment of more distributed energy resources (DERs). Currently, the national power grid comprises over 18,000 transformers, with more than 27,000 km of underground cables interconnecting over 11,000 substations. The Grid Digital Twin will therefore help to future-proof our power grid, to ensure that it is well-equipped to manage such complexities while maintaining reliability of grid operations.   Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said, “The digital twin for our national power grid will help to enhance the reliability of our electricity supply and support our transition towards greater energy sustainability. With the pressing need to tackle climate change, the power grid needs to evolve to support a more complex power system that will connect to more diverse sources of cleaner energy as well as a growing network to meet rising demand.”   Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, said, “SP Group works closely with EMA to explore measures to improve Singapore’s grid reliability and resilience. Harnessing the power of digitisation, the Grid Digital Twin enables us to monitor and test different scenarios based on a virtual replica of the grid. We can then effectively test potential upgrades and enhancements, and future-ready innovations such as the projects under the SP Group - NTU Joint Lab to support our ambition to empower the future of energy.”   When completed, the Grid Digital Twin will be a key initiative in contributing towards Singapore’s overall efforts for greater sustainability through enhanced grid network planning and operations.   Annex: Factsheet on the Singapore Power Grid Digital Twin -- End -- About Energy Market Authority The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry.

The digital twin of Singapore’s power grid will comprise two key models: Asset Twin to optimise the planning, operations and maintenance of SP’s grid assets (such as substations, transformers, switchgears and cables). The Asset Twin is able to remotely monitor and analyse the condition and performance of assets and identify potential risks in grid operations early. This allows SP Group (SP) to make informed decisions on renewal and maintenance plans accordingly. The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) to SP and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory3   Network Twin for impact assessment on grid. This uses modelling and simulations to determine the impact of additional loads (such as charging of electric vehicles) and distributed energy resources (such as solar photovoltaics and energy storage systems) on the grid. Using an advanced software framework known as the Multi Energy System Modelling & Optimisation (MESMO)4, the Network Twin is able to provide SP with a high-level assessment of the impact of demands on the grid and any upgrades required for different scenarios. The Network Twin is being developed by the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with its technology partner TUMCREATE Ltd. The project is funded by the Public Sector Science & Technology Policy & Plans Office (S&TPPO).   Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin are: Enhanced condition monitoring of assets and prioritisation of asset renewal, by having a decision tool that can identify risks and prioritise grid assets renewal plans. The tool will take into account health, utilisation and failure history of the grid assets.   Improvement in carrying out network planning analysis by having a better network utilisation when balancing new or peak electricity loads.   Optimisation of asset investment, by identifying potential synergies between asset renewal and upgrades for load growth without compromising grid resilience.   Grid Digital Twin comprising the Asset Twin and Network Twin (Image Credit: Energy Market Authority) KEY VISUAL FOR ASSET TWIN Overview of Asset Health and Criticality Index for the Distribution Network (Image Credit: SP Group-NTU Joint Laboratory) KEY VISUAL FOR NETWORK TWIN Dashboard for analysing electric vehicle charging impact on the distribution grid using the Network Twin (Image Credit: Institute of High Performance Computing and TUMCREATE) 1 The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by EMA to SP Group and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory. 2 The Network Twin is being developed by the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with its technology partner TUMCREATE Ltd.

SP Group Launches One Of The World's First Blockchain-Powered Trading Of Renewable Energy Certificateshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-Launches-One-Of-The-World-s-First-Blockchain-Powered-Trading-Of-Renewable-Energy-Certificates
Media Release SP Group Launches One Of The World's First Blockchain-Powered Trading Of Renewable Energy Certificates City Developments Limited and DBS Bank on board as first buyers of certificates Enables local and international organisations – regardless of size, business or location - to meet their sustainability targets Singapore, 29 October 2018 - SP Group (SP) launched one of the world’s first blockchain-powered renewable energy certificate (REC) marketplace at the ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF) on Monday, 29 October 2018. In conjunction with the launch, AEBF forum participants saw screenshots of the first purchases by buyers, City Developments Limited (CDL) and DBS Bank (DBS). Designed and built in-house by SP’s team of digital energy experts, this marketplace enables local and international organisations – regardless of size, business or location in the world – to trade in RECs. The unique attributes of blockchain technology will ensure the security, integrity and traceability of each REC transaction. This will drive the greater integration of renewable energy sources on the electricity grid. Launching the marketplace innovation at the opening session of the Forum on Monday 29 October 2018, SP’s Chief Digital Officer, Samuel Tan, said, “Through blockchain technology, we enable companies to trade in renewable energy certificates conveniently, seamlessly and securely, helping them achieve greener business operations and meet their sustainability targets.” The SP REC marketplace supports local, regional and international RECs. It also supports different supply options including types of sellers and renewable energy sources. SP announced that local organisations such as CDL and DBS, who are keen drivers of sustainable solutions, have signed on as REC buyers. Solar developers such as Cleantech Solar Asia and LYS Energy Solutions, with local and regional solar assets, have signed a collaboration with SP to place their solar assets on the marketplace for sale of RECs. Katoen Natie Singapore, a global chemical logistics company who will be launching Singapore’s largest single unit rooftop solar facility at a warehouse, has also come onboard as a REC seller. When companies purchase RECs, they are consuming electricity from renewable sources, sold to them by other companies that produce green energy. With SP’s blockchain-powered marketplace, buyers are automatically matched with sellers, around the globe, according to their preferences. This helps big and small organisations to achieve their green targets and strengthens cross-border sustainability efforts with SP’s international reach. It contributes to Singapore’s low carbon targets, as part of its Paris COP-21 agreement. Annex A Hear from our Partners “As a green advocate for over two decades, CDL has always been committed to embracing technology and solutions that reduce environmental impact. Given that buildings consume 40% of energy globally, increasing the use of solar energy and neutralising our operations’ carbon footprint has been a priority in the way we build and manage our projects. We are glad to support the innovative and timely initiative by SP Group to embrace blockchain technology as a platform to accelerate Singapore’s transition to a low-carbon economy.” Ms Esther An, Chief Sustainability Officer, City Developments Limited “As Southeast Asia’s largest bank, we recognise the leadership role we can play in promoting sustainable development, including supporting innovations in renewable energy. SP Group’s blockchain REC platform will make it more economically effective for organisations and will catalyse the transition towards a low carbon economy. We look forward to many more innovations in renewable energy technologies to achieve a sustainable, affordable, secure and inclusive energy future.” Mr Mike Power, Chief Operating Officer of Technology and Operations, DBS “Cleantech Solar is excited to be onboarded onto one of the world’s first blockchain-powered REC marketplace pioneered by SP Group. By having our 120 solar sites in Asia on board this platform, we can now allow consumers, who are unable to generate their own renewable energy, another reliable solution to achieve their clean energy goals. Cleantech Solar is proud to be a contributor to SP Group’s innovative green solutions and together to work towards a zero carbon future.” Mr Raju Shukla, Executive Chairman, Cleantech Solar Asia “We are very excited to be part of the SP REC marketplace. We are launching a 6.8 MWh Solar Power Facility in Singapore this week. The SP REC marketplace gives Katoen Natie access to a broader ecosystem to drive sustainability.” Mr Koen Cardon, Chief Executive Officer, Katoen Natie Singapore “Pioneering the RECs trading since 2016, LYS Energy has envisioned the potential of blockchain technology as a powerful catalyst of a sustainable and global widespread of renewable energies adoption. Innovation leadership is our company philosophy, we are delighted today to be partnering with SP Group to support this significant milestone, as a world-wide debut of ensuring interoperability towards smart grid success while helping companies to achieve their sustainability targets.” Mr Lionel Steinitz, Chief Executive Officer, LYS Energy Solutions About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

Media Release - JTC and SP Group to develop and operate Singapore's first Smart Grid for Business Parks at Punggol Digital Districthttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/c5bd36db-b34e-4de6-9ee6-a9cd5c554b23/%5B20181031%5D+Media+Release+-+JTC+and+SP+Group+to+develop+and+operate+Singapore's+first+Smart+Grid+for+Business+Parks+at+Punggol+Digital+District.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
News Release JTC AND SP GROUP TO DEVELOP AND OPERATE SINGAPORE’S FIRST SMART GRID FOR BUSINESS PARKS AT PUNGGOL DIGITAL DISTRICT Partnership will help the District optimise energy consumption, reduce carbon footprint and save cost for businesses and consumers Singapore, 31 October 2018 – A Smart Grid system that provides green energy and increases energy efficiency will serve businesses and consumers in the upcoming Punggol Digital District (PDD). JTC and SP Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the Smart Grid at the Asia Clean Energy Summit 2018 today, witnessed by Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Masagos Zulkifli. This partnership will drive the design of smart energy solutions comprising the areas of renewable energy and electric mobility, that will be integrated with the Open Digital Platform in the District, announced in July this year. 2. Under the MoU, JTC and SP Group will develop and implement a Smart Grid within PDD. Companies in PDD can look forward to adopting clean sources of energy, such as solar energy generated from building roofs, and take advantage of new technologies, such as electric vehicle charging and smart metering. Through the Smart Grid, about 1,700 tonnes of carbon emissions could be reduced per year, equivalent to taking 270 cars off the road. 3. The Smart Grid will be integrated with the Open Digital Platform, allowing communication and interaction with other building systems in the District, such as the District Cooling System (DCS) and the Building Management System (BMS). For instance, on a hot sunny day, the Smart Grid will register an increase in electricity consumption as the air conditioning systems consume more energy to maintain the temperature in the building. It automatically sends a signal to the Open Digital Platform, which detects the specific rooms where the temperature has increased. The Open Digital Platform then activates the Building Management System within the building to lower the blinds in those rooms, reducing heat gain and conserving energy. 1 4. JTC’s Assistant Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David Tan, said, “Beyond utilities and technologies, it is about giving the community the data and tools to make informed decisions about their energy consumption, be it adopting clean sources of energy or optimising usage to reduce costs. Aggregated data on energy consumption from the Smart Grid will be made available for academics, researchers, start-ups and enterprises to encourage innovation in the domains of clean energy and energy management.” 5. Mr Goh Chee Kiong, Head, Strategic Development of SP Group said, “SP Group is committed to design and implement smart energy solutions, driven by our deep energy integration and digital capabilities. We are pleased to work with JTC to help businesses in the Punggol Digital District save cost and go green through our innovative smart grid.” 6. At the forefront of Singapore’s Smart Nation push, PDD is envisioned to be a vibrant and inclusive district where cutting-edge technology and social innovation transform the way we work, live, learn and play in the future. PDD will house key growth sectors such as digital and cybersecurity, and will also be the first district in Singapore to be fully integrated with Internet of Things systems from the ground up. This infrastructure will create conducive testbed environments for businesses and entrepreneurs, allowing them to thrive in a digital economy, while the enhanced experience brought about by the digitalisation will provide a sustainable and connected environment for the community. The first buildings in District are expected to be completed by 2023. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 About JTC Set up in 1968, JTC is the lead government agency responsible for the planning and development of industrial infrastructure to support and catalyse the growth of industries and enterprises in Singapore.
