OUR VALUES COMMITMENT We commit to creating value for our customers, our people, and our shareholders. We uphold the highest standards of service and performance. INTEGRITY We act with honesty. We practise the highest ethical standards. PASSION We take pride and ownership in what we do. TEAMWORK We support, respect and trust each other. We continually learn, and share ideas and knowledge. ABOUT SP GROUP Singapore Power Group (SP) is a leading energy utility company in the Asia Pacific. We own and operate electricity and gas transmission and distribution businesses in Singapore and in Australia, primarily in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Over a million Singapore industrial and domestic customers benefit from SP’s world-class electricity and gas transmission and distribution, and market support services. Singapore has one of the fewest and shortest power outages of cities worldwide as rated by international industry indices. In Australia, SP owns a diversified energy utility company, SPI (Australia) Assets, which includes the Jemena companies, and 51 per cent of SP AusNet, which is publicly-listed on the Australian and Singapore Stock Exchanges. As one of Singapore’s largest corporations, SP achieved revenue of S$6.6 billion and managed S$26.3 billion of assets in FY 08/09. Staying Focused BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Reliability is the hallmark of SP’s energy utility services. We build on our foundations, and strive to improve continually. Focused on our operations and ever strengthening our competencies and capabilities, we aim to build a sustainable future. FROM THE CHAIRMAN Staying Focused BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Ng Kee Choe CHAIRMAN FY 08/09 saw the global economy slip into recession. Business conditions deteriorated across major economies as the financial crisis took hold. Demand for electricity dipped with the contraction of the economy. The difficult operating environment notwithstanding, the Singapore Power Group turned in a creditable performance. 04 SP Annual Report 08 Financial Performance Our Group’s net profit for financial year ended 31 March 2009 was S$616 million, excluding exceptional and non-recurring items. This was comparable to the previous year’s results. Group revenue rose by 22 per cent to S$6.6 billion, mainly from higher pass through cost of electricity and full year contribution from our Australian subsidiary, SPI (Australia) Assets, while total assets declined by 9 per cent to S$26.3 billion, mainly as a result of a weakened Australian dollar. The Group’s return on equity stood at 14.4 per cent, excluding exceptional and non-recurring items. Despite the volatile debt markets, we successfully refinanced our maturing debts and secured funding for capital expenditure at competitive terms. A total of S$11 billion financing was completed in FY 08/09, demonstrating strong support from financial institutions and investors. With completion of the financing, SP is better placed to focus on strengthening our businesses. Upholding Excellence SP PowerGrid continued to excel in its electricity and gas network performances in FY 08/09. The System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) score of 0.69 minutes for our electricity grid was a significant improvement over the 1.14 minutes registered in FY 07/08. For the second time in our Group’s history, electricity SAIDI went below a minute, which is equivalent to a network reliability of 99.99%. Similarly, the SAIDI score for our gas network was 0.125 minutes, bettering FY 07/08’s score of 0.491 minutes. SP Services has done well in its stride towards service excellence. For the fourth consecutive year, it was ranked top among benchmarked service providers in Singapore for customer satisfaction. In a separate benchmarking study by KEMA, an international utility consultant, SP Services was highlighted for being very cost effective in providing a high level of service. SP Services’ cost to serve per customer was found to be lowest among major utilities in USA, Europe, Australia and Asia with performance standards that were very competitive by international standards. SP AusNet became the first business in Australia to receive certification to British Asset Management Specification – BSI PAS 55. The specification is recognised as the leading global standard against which asset-intensive industries, such as utilities, are benchmarked. Towards a Sustainable Future The Group underwent restructuring to streamline operations towards better corporate governance, business alignment, efficiencies and positioning for growth. In Singapore, the integration of electricity and gas operations under a restructured SP PowerGrid was completed. In Australia, Jemena (ex-Alinta) has been restructured to give clear focus to the separate businesses of asset ownership and asset servicing. SP AusNet also adopted a new organisational functions model, strengthening itself to meet challenges and opportunities ahead. SP AusNet’s and Jemena’s information technology services were outsourced to EB Services (Australia) Pty Ltd, a newlyformed subsidiary of SPI Pte Ltd, to achieve operational efficiencies. The SP Group is rapidly coming together to derive greater synergy and stronger competitive advantage. Major Developments and Projects In October 2008, SP PowerAsset’s second regulatory reset was concluded. This determines its annual revenue cap for the electricity transmission and distribution charges for the next five years. SP Services successfully launched a new billing system, named Enterprise Business System (EBS) on 9 August 2008, after 11 months of rigorous system integration and user acceptance tests. The system enables SP Services to enhance the quality of its customer services and streamline its business processes for better performance. Singapore’s gas market was restructured with effect from 15 September 2008 to facilitate the liberalisation of the gas market. The restructuring involved the transfer of SembCorp Gas’ pipeline to PowerGas, in line with PowerGas’ role as the sole licensed gas transporter and gas system operator in Singapore, delivering both town gas and natural gas. In support of the restructured gas market, PowerGas developed and implemented a web-based 24/7 Gas Transportation System Solution to manage the transportation of natural gas in accordance with the rules of the Gas Network Code. The unfavourable economic circumstances notwithstanding, SP’s infrastructure development went on as planned. We invested S$1 billion in capital expenditure in Singapore and Australia. Notable among our investments is a new 400kV circuit to Paya Lebar substation commissioned in September 2008. In Australia, Jemena achieved an Australia-first with its design and building of the A$104 million Colongra Lateral gas line. The line not only delivers gas to the power station, but can also store enough gas to allow the station to run at full capacity for five hours. SP Annual Report 08 05 FROM THE CHAIRMAN In early February 2009, the state of Victoria was impacted by bushfires. The Victorian Government subsequently established a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Victorian bushfire crisis and SP AusNet is extending its full support and assistance to the Inquiry. On 16 April 2009, SP AusNet was served with a writ, an earlier version of which was previously filed in the Supreme Court of Victoria on 16 February 2009, and other associated documents. The writ alleges that “faulty and/or defective power lines” caused loss and damage. SP AusNet believes the claim is both premature and inappropriate, given the establishment of the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. SP AusNet will vigorously defend the claim. SP AusNet has liability insurance which provides cover for bushfire liability. SP AusNet reviews its insurance cover annually and ensures it is commensurate with the scale and size of its operations and the risks assessed to be associated with its operations and with industry standards and practice. SP AusNet’s bushfire mitigation and vegetation management programmes fully comply with Electricity Safety (Bushfire Mitigation) Regulations and are audited annually by Energy Safe Victoria. All bushfire mitigation programmes, including vegetation management, were completed prior to the declaration of the bushfire season in December 2008. Together as One We continue our emphasis on people development through Individual Learning Roadmaps for each SP staff. To encourage team bonding among staff and to build leadership skills, a corporate core programme comprising Team Engagement and Motivation (TEAM) and Leading Excellence and Development (LEAD) was launched. In Australia, Jemena relaunched its Development Programmes, focused on building people management and leadership capability at all levels within the company. An integrated talent management initiative was also implemented to support staff development. In April 2008, SP strengthened our partnership with the Union of Power and Gas Employees (UPAGE) through our signing of the Employers’ Pledge of Fair Employment Practices. This reinforces our commitment to endorse the key principles of fair and merit-based employment practices. Recognising our strong dedication and contributions towards serving the less privileged elderly in our community, the Community Chest awarded SP the SHARE Corporate Gold Award and Special Events Platinum Award at its awards ceremony in 2008. In Australia, following the bushfires in February 2009, Jemena matched personal staff donations dollar-for-dollar to raise over A$100,000 for the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal to help fire victims in their time of need. SP AusNet, through the company’s Community Development Fund, contributed A$30,000 towards community groups and various charities for Special Children. Everybody Counts We are privileged to have the services of highly qualified Board members with vast experience in management and business. They provide sound judgement and guidance which contribute in no small measure to the resilience and success of SP. I would like to thank our Board members for their invaluable counsel. To our stakeholders including our business partners, I thank you for your unstinting support and cooperation. Not least, I would like to thank the management and staff for their dedication and hard work in keeping SP on course towards further excellence. Our appreciation also goes to UPAGE for its unrelenting support in upholding the interests of its members while partnering our management. Making the Future More than ever, SP has the scale of operations, a sound and prudent financial strategy, strategic focus, and a complete range of transmission and distribution competencies for electricity and gas. Led by a highly competent and experienced management, our dedicated workforces in Singapore and Australia have in recent times proven, as they had done before, their resilience and ability to stand up against the adverse business conditions. The future is what we make it to be. I am confident we in SP have the talent and passion to achieve our vision of being a leading energy infrastructure group in the Asia Pacific. Community Caring Our commitment to aiding the needy elderly was reaffirmed through our pledge of continued support for the Home Help Service for the period October 2008 to September 2009. SP also sponsored the fund-raising efforts of various charities for their cost of direct mailers.

SP Annual Report 08 09 CORPORATE REVIEW The 2008/2009 financial year was one marked by unprecedented changes which have altered the global financial and economic landscape. The credit crisis that hit global financial markets in mid-2007 continued throughout the financial year. Singapore Power Group’s strategic focus on electricity and gas transmission and distribution assets and businesses has stood us in good stead, providing SP with defensive, stable and predictable revenues and earnings. These assets have positioned us well in times of increased volatility. Despite the difficult economic conditions, we have continued to strengthen our core capabilities and expertise in operations and human resource through our investments in our competencies and people. In the midst of these turbulent times, we have been able to hold our ground due to the strengthening of our key pillars of growth: Investment Strategy Financing Strategy and Capital Management Operational Excellence Human Capital Investment Strategy In Singapore, SP owns and operates electricity and gas transmission and distribution businesses, and provides energy market support services. In Australia, where two-thirds of SP’s assets are located, we own and operate electricity and gas transmission and distribution businesses in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory. SP has continued to drive organic growth of our regulated asset base. Capital investments in our networks during the past 12 months exceeded S$1 billion. These investments secure future regulated revenues for the business and enhance service to our customers. The newly acquired businesses in Australia have also enabled SP to venture into new growth areas such as water distribution network development and the provision of electricity infrastructure services for the growing wind farm developments in Australia. Given the significant size of our operations in Australia, SP is now well placed to derive synergies from the Australia business, particularly in the areas of IT operations, capital works and asset management services. To this end, EB Services (Australia) Pty Ltd (“EB Services”) was established on 1 October 2008 to provide IT services to the Australia entities in the SP Group. Leveraging size and scale, EB Services will create efficiencies in the delivery of IT services and achieve synergies through the consolidation of IT personnel and resources. 10 SP Annual Report 08 Financing Strategy and Capital Management Despite the volatility in debt markets, SP successfully refinanced our maturing debts and funded our capital expenditure at competitive rates. These include the following: � � � ��� ����������� ����� ��� ��� ��������� ������� � A$3.4 billion syndicated bank debt facility in July 2008. �� ������ ������� ��������� � ���� ������� ������� Sterling bond issue in June 2008. �� ����������� ������� �������� ������������ ������ S$600 million of fixed rate notes in August 2008. The issuance comprised both 7-year and 12-year notes and was issued under the SPPA’s Global Medium Term Note Programme. The success of these financing transactions reflects the strength of our underlying business fundamentals and attests to the support of the market for our prudent and disciplined debt strategy. The Group is committed to an optimal capital structure and to maintaining our strong credit ratings. SP is currently rated AA- by Standard & Poor’s and Aa3 by Moody’s Investors Service. Operational Excellence SP outperforms our peers operating comparable underground networks. In Singapore, the average duration of unplanned electricity supply interruption a customer experienced was less than a minute, which represents a system reliability of 99.9999 per cent. Similarly, our gas network achieved its best network reliability performance in the past 12 years, where a customer experienced only an average of 7.5 seconds of unplanned gas interruptions during the year. These stellar network performances were achieved through SP’s intensive network infrastructure development and planning. SP PowerGrid took on the additional role of managing the gas network in July 2008, ahead of the gas market restructuring. This integration of electricity and gas management staff allows synergistic management of SP’s electricity and gas networks, streamlining operations for better efficiencies and enhanced performance. SP AusNet and SPI (Australia) Assets achieved operational efficiencies, particularly in the information technology area. Through operational agreements concluded between SP AusNet and the SP Group, SP AusNet now delivers end-to-end network metering services, technical services and vegetation management services to the electricity and gas networks owned and managed by Jemena. SP AusNet also implemented a new operating structure to provide more focus on growing this important part of its business to the wider market. Building Human Capital SP’s continued success depends on our people and their capabilities giving us a competitive advantage in the global marketplace. Today, the Group has about 6,500 staff located in Singapore and Australia. We remain firmly committed to investing in our people to empower them to achieve their full potential. We groom and nurture them to continuously grow their talents. We upgrade their skills by offering education, on-the-job training, participation in special projects, overseas postings, job rotations and mentorship programmes. We support them in their pursuit of lifelong learning by providing subsidies for personal development courses. We actively cultivate and create communication avenues to listen to them and understand their needs. We introduced flexible work arrangements such as flexi-hours and pro-family leave schemes to help them to balance the demands of work and family. We harvest their ideas, and harness their skills and creativity through the Value Creation Idea Award Scheme and Economic Value Projects. Recognising the need to renew our talent pool, we continued our search for talented people to join and rejuvenate our organisation through participation in scholarship fairs, career fairs, internships and referrals. Our core values of teamwork, integrity, commitment and passion guide the actions and decisions of our people towards achieving SP’s strategic and business goals.

The principles set out in the revised Code of Corporate Governance 2005 (the Code) for listed companies are adhered to closely by the Company. The Company has used the Code as its guide and best practice standard and has put in place an internal framework to ensure good corporate governance in its business practices and activities. The Whistleblower Policy, which was launched in 2005, seeks to strengthen ethical business conduct in the Group. The Group endeavours to enhance shareholder value by ensuring the highest standards of corporate governance, transparency, accountability and integrity. Setting Directions The Board provides broad strategic directions for the Group and undertakes key investment and funding decisions. In addition, the Board ensures that Management maintains a robust system of internal controls to protect the Group’s assets and reviews the Group’s financial performance. The Board meets at least four times a year to review the Group’s business performance. In the last financial year, the Board met four times and held a Board Strategic Review in November 2008. Access to Information The Board is provided with relevant information prior to Board meetings and on an ongoing basis. Board papers include management financial reports, annual budgets and performance against budget, announcement of results, matters requiring the Board’s decision, updates on key outstanding issues and disclosure documents as well as updates on new legislative developments. Newly-appointed Board Directors attend an orientation programme to familiarise themselves with the Group’s business and governance practices. The Group also provides ongoing education on legislative updates and best practices. The Board has separate and independent access to the Senior Management and the Company Secretary. Should the Directors, whether as a group or individually, require independent professional advice to carry out their duties, the Company will arrange to appoint, at the Company’s expense, a professional advisor to render due advice. Accountability In presenting the annual financial statements to the shareholder, the Board aims to provide the shareholder with a balanced and comprehensive assessment of the Group’s position and prospects. The Management provides the Board with appropriately detailed management accounts of the Group’s performance, prospects and a risk dashboard on a monthly basis. There is a strong element of independence in the Board composition – independent non-executive Directors constitute more than three-quarters of the entire Board. The independence of each Director is reviewed annually by the Nominating Committee in accordance with the Code. The current size of ten Board members is appropriate for effective decision-making, taking into account the scope and nature of the Group’s operations. Collectively, the Directors have a wealth of expertise and experience in the management of business at senior and international levels. SP AusNet, as a publicly-listed stapled entity on the Australian Stock Exchange and the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited, has established its own Audit and Risk Management Committee, Nomination Committee, Remuneration Committee as well as Compliance Committee to ensure a high standard of corporate governance.

SP PowerAssets is developing two major cable tunnels for the future installation of transmission cables on the island. Soil investigation work is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2009. The project, comprising a 17 km East-West tunnel and an 18 km North-South tunnel, will provide secure corridors for faster and more efficient installation of transmission cables, as well as enable ageing 230kV circuits to be replaced in an orderly and controlled manner. SP PowerAssets concluded a second 5-year regulatory price reset with the Energy Market Authority (EMA). Grid charges were reduced by an average of 8-11 per cent in various customer supply categories on 1 October 2008, without compromising the high quality performance standards of its transmission and distribution networks. SP Annual Report 08 27 OPERATIONS REVIEW POWERGAS Being Singapore’s Sole Licensed Gas Transporter and System Operator Laying of gas transmission pipelines that will cater to future needs. 28 SP Annual Report 08 PowerGas owns the gas transmission and distribution networks in Singapore which include two onshore natural gas receiving facilities and 2,900 km of underground pipelines. With the transfer of Sembcorp Gas pipeline assets to PowerGas on 15 September 2008 following the restructuring of the gas market, PowerGas became the sole licensed gas transporter and gas system operator in Singapore, delivering both natural gas and town gas. New Gas Industry Framework The new restructured gas market came into effect on 15 September 2008 with the implementation of the Gas Network Code (GNC) regime, a multi-lateral contract between PowerGas and gas shippers for transporting natural gas from injection points to end-user offtake points. PowerGas has developed and is operating the web-based 24/7 Gas Transportation IT System Solution (GTSS) which manages the transportation of natural gas according to the rules of the GNC. Enhancing the Town Gas Network PowerGas successfully extended the town gas network by 15.6 km to reach more customers in new public housing estates, private residences and commercial premises. In FY 08/09, PowerGas also renewed and reinforced 6.9 km of pipelines and diverted 1.6 km of pipelines affected by the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system extension works. PowerGas continues to renew and reinforce gas pipelines. PowerGas is the sole licensed gas transporter and gas system operator in Singapore, delivering both natural gas and town gas.

SP PowerGrid’s network performance for its electricity operations in FY 08/09 was well within regulatory targets and an improvement over the previous year’s performance. Its network performance for gas operations was also well within regulatory targets. For FY 08/09, electricity’s System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) score of 0.69 minutes was better than the 1.14 minutes registered in FY 07/08. Gas’ SAIDI score of 0.125 minutes was a significant improvement over FY 07/08’s score of 0.491 minutes. Electricity’s System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) score of 0.016 was better than its score of 0.023 in FY 07/08. Gas’ SAIFI score was 0.0020 interruptions compared to the previous year’s score of 0.0011. SAIDI measures the average duration of unplanned electricity or gas interruptions a consumer experiences in a year and SAIFI, the average number of such interruptions. SP PowerGrid’s impressive network performance is founded on the use of cutting-edge technology in condition monitoring, rigorous quality processes, and investment in network infrastructure and staff expertise. Condition Monitoring for Better Performance SP PowerGrid’s comprehensive efforts in condition monitoring continued to enhance electricity network performance with 43 potential failures averted in FY 08/09. The Oscillating Wave Testing System (OWTS), which monitors the condition of the underground 66kV, 22kV and 6.6kV cables, has successfully prevented 88 potential cable failures since its inception in January 2006. In FY 08/09, OWTS was conducted on nine 66kV circuits. OWTS for 230kV cables will be introduced in May 2009. The wireless SCADA system helps SP engineers monitor the electricity grid, swiftly isolate any fault and restore supply. The 230kV switchgear in Kampong Java substation was fitted with an online condition monitoring system. Remote Monitoring of Distribution Network The installation of the wireless Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for remote monitoring of the 6.6kV distribution network is in progress. By the third quarter of 2009, some 1,000 substations supplying densely populated public residential estates will be fitted with wireless SCADA to enable real-time monitoring of the network and further reduce outage time. As of February 2009, installation works at 800 substations were completed. Enhancing Communication Network The Time Division Multiplex over Ethernet (TDMoE) technology was commissioned and deployed in the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) in December 2008. The use of this new technology for SCADA application resulted in lower maintenance costs. SP Annual Report 08 31 OPERATIONS REVIEW The tender for the wireless network connection to the MAN was awarded in January 2009. The wireless technology will be deployed at about 100 substations and installations to further extend the coverage for applications like SCADA, condition monitoring, power quality monitoring and security surveillance. Strengthening Customer Relationships During the year in review, SP PowerGrid implemented new initiatives aimed at serving its customers better. In August 2008, a new Power Quality Interest Group was formed for the essential services industry. This enables SP PowerGrid to better support the sector’s needs and future growth. Three meetings were held for the semiconductor & electronics, pharmaceutical, and chemical & petrochemical interest groups. Chief Executive Officers representing these high-tech industries on the Power Quality Advisory Panel also met in April 2008 to discuss power quality issues across industry sectors. SP PowerGrid organised four half-day workshops in July 2008 and a two-day workshop in February 2009 to share with large industrial and commercial customers its knowledge on the latest technologies and practices to enhance power quality. SP PowerGrid embarked on new initiatives to provide a higher level of customer service to affected public housing residents during electricity supply interruptions. Standby teams working on three shifts and decentralising mobile generators to six locations have improved the response time to site and shortened supply restoration time by up to 30 minutes. Service vans with LED panels are deployed to keep customers informed on the progress of supply restoration during an outage. As part of efforts to keep customers informed during supply interruptions, service vans with LED panels are deployed to provide residents with timely information on the progress of supply restoration. ISO Certification SP PowerGrid first obtained its ISO 9001:2000 certifications in 2002. In FY 08/09, it received ISO 9001:2000 recertification for the development and management of its electricity transmission and distribution networks, and for its gas operations covering network management and system operations. It also continued to comply with ISO 9001:2000 standards for the operation, control and monitoring of the distribution network as well as the management of network incidents and customer calls. These certifications affirm SP PowerGrid’s institutionalised quality processes that drive consistently high performance standards. SP PowerGrid’s institutionalised quality processes drive consistently high performance standards. Challenging Economic Environment The current economic downturn has impacted on domestic electricity demand. Electricity demand began to slide in the second half of the year as the deepening global financial crisis took its toll, particularly on Singapore’s export-dependent industries. In FY 08/09, the volume of electricity transmitted and distributed shrank by 1.0 per cent year-on-year to 37,464 GWh. The reduction in electricity consumption was broad-based, affecting both the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors. 32 SP Annual Report 08 SP POWERGRID Singapore Has One Of The World’s Best Performing Electricity And Gas Networks SYSTEM AVERAGE INTERRUPTION DURATION INDEX (SAIDI) measures the average duration of unplanned interruptions a consumer experiences in a year 10 2.5 Interruption minutes per customer per year 8 6 4 2 0 5.37 5 3.7 4 3.85 2.2 2.25 1.21 1.14 1.99 0.69 0.47 97/98 98/99 99/00 00/01 01/02 02/03 03/04 04/05 05/06 06/07 07/08 08/09 Up to Mar 09 Electricity SAIDI – Singapore Interruption minutes per customer per year 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 2.101 1.422 1.020 0.577 0.451 0.331 0.387 0.491 0.269 0.149 0.199 97/98 98/99 99/00 00/01 01/02 02/03 03/04 04/05 05/06 06/07 07/08 08/09 Up to Mar 09 Gas SAIDI – Singapore 0.125 SYSTEM AVERAGE INTERRUPTION FREQUENCY INDEX (SAIFI) measures the average number of unplanned interruptions a consumer experiences in a year Interruptions per customer per year 0.12 0.10 0.08 0.06 0.04 0.02 0.00 0.106 0.090 0.073 0.071 0.053 0.097 0.097 0.041 0.011 97/98 98/99 99/00 00/01 01/02 02/03 03/04 04/05 05/06 06/07 07/08 08/09 Up to Mar 09 Electricity SAIFI – Singapore 0.031 0.023 0.016 Interruptions per customer per year 0.025 0.020 0.015 0.010 0.005 0.000 0.0216 0.0147 0.0105 0.0058 0.0035 0.0028 0.0021 97/98 98/99 99/00 00/01 01/02 02/03 03/04 04/05 05/06 06/07 07/08 08/09 Up to Mar 09 Gas SAIFI – Singapore 0.0047 0.0040 0.0011 0.0020 0.0016 KEY NETWORK INDICATORS – SINGAPORE % Change Year-On-Year 10 8 6 4 2 0 (2) (4) 1.6 (2.4) 5.0 4.1 3.8 2.4 9.3 7.3 4.6 4.4 8.4 3.3 7.8 4.2 1.5 1.1 Real GDP Growth (%) Demand Growth (%) 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 Calendar Year GWh 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 0 29,960 31,446 32,199 33,635 34,995 36,287 37,838 37,464 01/02 02/03 03/04 04/05 05/06 06/07 07/08 08/09 Financial Year Real GDP Vs Electricity Demand Growth (% Change) Electricity Transmitted and Distributed (GWh) SP Annual Report 08 33 OPERATIONS REVIEW SP SERVICES Management MR WONG CHIT SIENG Managing Director MRS JEANNE CHENG Deputy Managing Director MR LAWRENCE LEE Acting Director (Operations) MS LILY TAN Acting Director (Information Systems) MR HEY BONG KOI Head (Finance & Accounts) 34 SP Annual Report 08 SP SERVICES Putting the Customer First SP Services provides every household and business in Singapore with a convenient and efficient one-stop utility service, including for electricity, water, and piped gas supplies.

At SP, IT initiatives are aligned closely with business unit goals to ensure efficient and effective execution of business strategies. Common shared systems and infrastructure across the Group drive greater synergies. Supporting the Gas Network The Singapore gas market was de-regulated on 15 September 2008. PowerGas developed and launched a web-based IT system, Gas Transportation System Solution (GTSS), to manage the transportation of natural gas according to the rules of the Gas Network Code. The Information Systems Department (ISD) worked closely with the system integrator, Accenture, to ensure that the design of the GTSS is robust and reliable. The supporting infrastructure and computer operations processes were tested very thoroughly to ensure that they meet system performance expectations and reliability standards. Enhancing Human Resource Management with Business Intelligence Tools ISD spearheaded the design and implementation of a business data warehouse for business intelligence for the Human Resource department. The solutions became operational in January 2009. The system allows for the creation of analytical reports detailing manpower statistics through the Enterprise Portal. It also enables key business users to slice and dice the data and to perform ad-hoc analysis and reporting via an on-line interface, hence improving productivity and efficiency. Users can also access this function via the internet, thereby granting them 24-hr global access. Automated Monitoring The ISD Data Centre operates 76 units of UNIX servers, 280 Intel servers and 175 networking equipment. During the year, ISD implemented an Enterprise Management System to proactively monitor all critical systems, hardware and services.

[20210323] The New Paper - Fast electric vehicle charging at four Caltex stationshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:8ac98df7-c77e-45fc-bb1a-653095ed9e9d
Fast electric vehicle charging at four Caltex stations SAMUEL DEVARAJ Four Caltex service stations will soon offer fast electric vehicle charging, in a partnership between SP Group and Chevron Singapore, which markets the Caltex brand. The 50kW direct current fast chargers that will be installed at these stations by the second quarter of this year will be able to charge up an electric vehicle in 30 minutes, SP and Chevron said in a joint press release yesterday. This is compared with the few hours required by the more commonly available alternating current chargers. Three stations – in Chong Pang, Jurong Spring and Dunearn – will each be equipped with one fast charger. The fourth, in Changi, will have two 50kW direct current 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. REAL-TIME UPDATES The chargers will also be incorporated on the SP Utilities mobile app, which allows electric vehicle drivers to search for the availability of the nearest charging points, receive realtime updates on their charging sessions and make direct, cashless payment. Three Caltex service stations will each be equipped with one fast charger while a fourth will have two 50kW direct current charging points. TNP PHOTO: LIM YAOHUI SP and Chevron said they will be studying electric vehicle charging usage patterns and behaviour at the stations to refine and enhance accessibility and utilisation, and plan for more charging points and locations. Group chief executive officer of SP Stanley Huang said: “We are pleased to partner Caltex in our first collaboration with a fuel and lubricant retailer. “This gives electric vehicle drivers greater convenience as it accelerates the accessibility of charging locations that are incorporated in our daily activities. “ Our aim is to build Singapore’s largest public electric vehicle charging network and expand our integrated green mobility solutions to meet the evolving needs and sustainability goals of businesses and individuals.” samuelsd@sph.com.sg
CapitaLand, SP Group and Sembcorp to Study Use of Integrated Energy Solutions to Green Data Centreshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/CapitaLand-SP-Group-and-Sembcorp-to-Study-Use-of-Integrated-Energy-Solutions-to-Green-Data-Centres
News Release CapitaLand, SP Group and Sembcorp to Study Use of Integrated Energy Solutions to Green Data Centres CapitaLand’s data centre is the first to pilot in Singapore under SP’s Energy Partnership Programme Singapore, 5 November 2020 – CapitaLand, SP Group (SP) and Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly study the use of integrated energy solutions to power data centres. CapitaLand’s data centre is the first to pilot in Singapore under SP’s Energy Partnership Programme. The integrated energy solutions will potentially include a combination of solar photovoltaic, green hydrogen and energy storage amongst others. These will be further enhanced with smart technologies to increase energy efficiency and effectiveness. CapitaLand’s drive for sustainability The study covered under the MOU will initially focus on developing solutions to power CapitaLand’s flagship data centre, 9 Tai Seng Drive with green energy. 9 Tai Seng Drive has been certified with the top rating of Green Mark Platinum for data centres by the Building and Construction Authority and Infocomm Media Development Authority. The feasibility study results planned for the second half of 2021, would potentially be applicable to benefit other data centres in Singapore. This initiative dovetails with CapitaLand’s 2030 Sustainability Master Plan to elevate its commitment to global sustainability. Among CapitaLand’s 2030 sustainability targets unveiled on 1 October 2020, it aims to reduce its carbon emissions intensity by 78% by 2030, reduce its energy consumption intensity at its operating properties by 35% and increase its proportion of total electricity consumption from renewable sources by 35% by 2030. CapitaLand also aims to green its entire global portfolio by 2030, including its data centres. Mr Kelvin Fong, Managing Director, Data Centre, CapitaLand Group, said: “As a responsible company, CapitaLand is partnering SP and Sembcorp to further enhance the sustainability of our data centres to support the growth of a clean digital economy. The ability to leverage smart energy solutions and tap renewable energy sources at our data centres will extend CapitaLand’s competitive advantage within the data centre industry while meeting our commitments towards global sustainability. Besides powering our data centres with renewable energy, we aim to offer energyefficient designs and facility operations at our data centres. CapitaLand remains committed to contribute to the environmental and social well-being of the communities we operate in.” SP’s Energy Partnership Programme This collaboration between CapitaLand, SP and Sembcorp is the first under SP’s Energy Partnership Programme. The programme aims to help corporates meet their green ambitions and overcome energy-related business challenges using integrated energy solutions. Leveraging SP’s technical expertise in smart energy solutions, research and testing will be undertaken at SP’s Concept Lab1 . Corporates enjoy the benefits of researching and testing the viability of sustainable solutions before advancing to real-world applications. Mr Chuah Kee Heng, Chief Executive Officer, Sustainable Energy Solutions, SP Group, said: “We are pleased to work with CapitaLand and Sembcorp to green CapitaLand’s data centres. Under SP Group’s Energy Partnership Programme, we provide expertise and a conducive environment to help corporates solve their energy challenges and contribute to a low carbon, smart energy Singapore.” Sembcorp harnesses the power of collaboration As an integrated energy player across the utilities and energy value chain, Sembcorp brings expertise in providing urban sustainability solutions to energy-intensive businesses with customised combinations of solar energy, energy storage, sustainable energy retail and other innovative energy solutions. One of the targeted outcomes for Sembcorp in this partnership is to determine how green hydrogen fuel cell technologies can be most efficiently deployed in Singapore to reduce the carbon footprint of data centres. Mr Lim Yeow Keong, Senior Vice President, Singapore and Southeast Asia (Energy), Sembcorp Industries, said: “Sembcorp looks forward to this collaboration with CapitaLand and SP. A key goal of this project is to find the most efficient way to lower the carbon footprint of data centres without compromising their operational resilience. With growing demand for data centres, finding carbonefficient solutions to power them is key to enable a sustainable future.” CapitaLand’s joint study with SP and Sembcorp is another of its efforts to strengthen the use of renewable energy and reduce its carbon footprint. In collaboration with Sembcorp, over 21,000 solar panels were installed atop CapitaLand’s six industrial properties2 held under Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust (Ascendas Reit) in Singapore in 2019. It is the largest combined rooftop solar facility in Singapore by a real estate company. These solar farms can collectively generate around 10,292 megawatt hours of energy annually, equivalent to powering about 2,300 four-room HDB flats each year3. CapitaLand’s corporate offices in Singapore will be 100% powered by renewable energy. Three of its corporate offices will be 100% powered by renewable energy by end 2020 through Renewable Energy Certificates from the clean energy generated atop these industrial properties. Greening data centres for a low-carbon future The joint study is timely, given current trends in data network electricity use. According to a June 2020 report by the International Energy Agency, global data centre electricity demand in 2019 contributed close to one per cent of global demand4 . Demand for data services is expected to continue its exponential growth over the coming years, which in turn will lead to an accelerated growth in data centre loads. 1 SP’s Concept Lab is the group’s innovation space to test new concepts and technologies and develop solutions for its customers. 2 The six properties are LogisTech, 1 Changi Business Park Avenue 1, 9 Changi South Street 3, 2 Senoko South Road, 40 Penjuru Lane, and Techpoint. 3 Average annual electricity consumption of a four-room HDB household is based on Singapore’s Energy Market Authority’s 2019 Singapore Energy Statistics 4 Data Centres and Data Transmission Networks (https://www.iea.org/reports/data-centres-and-data-transmissionnetworks).

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. The solution uses applied Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and Internet of Things (IoT) to reduce energy consumption in a building. It takes into consideration factors like occupancy and weather and optimises air-flow to evenly cool areas. SP partnered with 75F to customise and test the performance and viability of the solution for Singapore’s tropical environment. The solution was trialled for a year at Singapore Institute of Technology’s (SIT) campus at Dover, and the Mercatus Co-operative Limited’s corporate office at One Marina Boulevard in Raffles Place. Both locations achieved more than 30 per cent in energy savings, while improving comfort for occupants by ensuring that the indoor temperature, and air quality were optimal. With the validated outcomes, SP and 75F will offer the solution to customers in Singapore, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia. Air-conditioning contributes 60 per cent of a building’s electricity consumption. With buildings consuming a third of Singapore’s total electricity consumption1 , this new solution will help Singapore reduce electricity consumption and support the goal of cutting national emissions intensity by 36 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Mr Brandon Chia, Head, Centre of Excellence, SP Group said: “SP Group has partnered with 75F on this micro-climate control solution that leverages A.I. and IoT. It enables customers to enjoy cooler comfort in buildings while lowering their carbon footprint. We look forward to developing more next-generation technologies to help customers in Singapore and the region save energy and cost.” The micro-climate control solution is a self-learning, intuitive building intelligence system that optimises and regulates air-conditioning in buildings to improve operational efficiency and occupant experience. The system’s central control unit divides large open spaces into smaller zones that balances the temperature, air flow, carbon dioxide (CO2) within each zone. It also optimises the air-conditioning operation by using the least amount of energy to achieve the required comfort. Gaurav Burman, APAC President, 75F said: “Both 75F and SP are committed to saving energy and reducing the carbon footprint of commercial buildings. The Asia Pacific market, especially Singapore, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia, represent a huge opportunity given their economic growth, rising energy costs and the growing focus to improve occupant experience and operational efficiency. This partnership combines 75F’s award-winning technology with SP’s capabilities and track record in the region, allowing both companies to accelerate our growth.” SP’s partnership with 75F first started as part of SP’s Energy Advanced Research and Development (SPEAR) programme, under the SP Centre of Excellence (SP CoE). SP CoE is an initiative supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), and drives the research, development, and integration of cutting-edge solutions and next-generation technologies for Singapore’s energy infrastructure network. -Ends- Notes to Editor: 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.

Chongqinghttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Singapore-Power-To-Build-Advanced-Energy-Efficient-Cooling-Network-For-Capitaland-s-Raffles-City-Chongqing Media Release Singapore Power To Build Advanced Energy Efficient Cooling Network For Capitaland's Raffles City Chongqing Landmark agreement marks Singapore Power’s first district cooling network in China Singapore, 20 May 2015 – Singapore Power (SP) today signed an agreement with CapitaLand Limited (CapitaLand) for the delivery of district cooling for Raffles City Chongqing. SP will design, build, own and operate an advanced energy-efficient cooling system for Raffles City Chongqing. The district cooling system will deliver high-quality air conditioning services to consumers through an integrated underground pipe network. 2. Singapore Power’s advanced energy-efficient cooling network is expected to deliver up to 50% cost savings in energy consumption, compared to conventional building chiller plants. Raffles City Chongqing will enjoy lower energy usage with about S$30 million savings over 20 years. Tenants of Raffles City Chongqing will enjoy the same round-the- clock availability and high reliability as the consumers in Marina Bay Singapore. 3. Mr Wong Kim Yin, Group CEO of Singapore Power, said, “Singapore Power is excited to partner CapitaLand for Raffles City Chongqing. With our expertise in advanced energy-efficient cooling networks, we are confident Raffles City Chongqing will set a new benchmark in sustainability. Advanced energy-efficient cooling networks are uniquely suited to serve China’s drive towards urbanisation and clean development. Singapore Power will grow this business with high priority, leveraging our advanced engineering capabilities and our successful track in Marina Bay Singapore.” 4. Mr Lim Ming Yan, President & Group CEO of CapitaLand Limited, said: “CapitaLand is one of the pioneer adopters of green building standards because we strongly believe sustainability is a continuous process that is integral to our business. As internationally recognised urban icons of excellence, Raffles City developments attest to CapitaLand’s commitment to develop user-centric built environments to improve the economic, environmental and social well-being of our stakeholders. We look forward to partnering Singapore Power in implementing this advanced energy-efficient district cooling system at Raffles City Chongqing – the single biggest development in Chongqing to date to adopt the system – which will enable us to avoid incurring about S$30 million in utility cost over 20 years and eventually benefit our tenants in the long run.” 5. Singapore Power has a strong track record in delivering advanced energy-efficient cooling services to developments at the Marina Bay business district since May 2006. With extensive development capabilities in designing, construction and commissioning, its district cooling footprint spans a service area of 1.6 million m2, including commercial, hotels, apartments, office and retail buildings. Leveraging its advanced engineering and technology, SP has delivered up to 50% energy savings compared to in-building chiller systems. --- About Singapore Power Singapore Power Group (SP) is a leading energy utility group in the Asia Pacific.

The Chief of Operations for Cooling at SP’s Sustainable Energy Solutions played an instrumental role in implementing the world’s largest underground district cooling system in Singapore, at the Marina Bay area. He was also a part of the management team that led the export of SP’s district cooling system and expertise to Chongqing, China. When SP secured the project to build and maintain district cooling facilities at Raffles City Chongqing – a 1.12 million square metre megastructure consisting of a shopping mall, office space, residential apartments, serviced residence and hotel – Chee Keong was tasked to lead the operations team, which saw him relocating to Chongqing for three and a half years. Ang Chee Keong, Chief of Operations for Cooling in Sustainable Energy Solutions addressing his team at the district cooling plant, serving Raffles City Chongqing in China. While Chee Keong settled into his new living environment fairly quickly, the move was not without worry. He had to be away from his wife and three children who could not join him due to practical considerations over her career and education respectively. Chee Keong had to manage the difference in work culture at first, such as the modus operandi of contractors in Chongqing. However, he soon adapted and subsequently shared his learnings with the team who succeeded his work there. One of the greatest satisfaction for Chee Keong was leaving behind SP’s DNA. From operations philosophies to best management practices, Raffles City Chongqing district cooling network provides chilled water for air-conditioning of the buildings, which helps the customer save up to 50 per cent on their energy consumption. SP’s district cooling team in Chongqing, China. “Besides the plant structure and asset interfaces, we also have a strong emphasis on good equipment design and ‘people-centric’ approach in the way we do things,” said Chee Keong.  Since Chee Keong returned to Singapore in January this year, he has been providing remote support to the Chongqing team as they ease into assuming more responsibilities. He is also developing new innovative solutions and is excited to explore integrating useful technologies from China to local projects.  Now that he is surrounded by his favourite local food again, Chee Keong tries to stay fit and go green by cycling to work when he can. Looks like the ‘sustainability’ DNA of our district system left an indelible mark on Chee Keong’s lifestyle too! — 31 August 2020 TAGS SUSTAINABILITYDISTRICT COOLINGRAFFLES CITY CHONGQING YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ DSTA appoints SP Group to roll out smart utilities management system across Singapore's defence facilities SP Mobility and Huawei unveil ultra-fast EV charging integrating battery storage Singapore’s largest industrial district cooling system begins operations to support STMicroelectronics’ decarbonisation strategy Category: Sustainability SP Group Partners Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City To Provide District Cooling, Heating & Energy Saving Solutionshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-Partners-Sino-Singapore-Guangzhou-Knowledge-City-To-Provide-District-Cooling--Heating---Energy-Saving-Solutions Media Release SP Group Partners Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City To Provide District Cooling, Heating & Energy Saving Solutions Singapore & China, 18 November 2019 – SP Group (SP) today announced its partnership with the Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City Investment and Development Co.

On behalf of the Board of Directors TAN SRI MOHD HASSAN MARICAN Chairman MR STANLEY HUANG TIAN GUAN Director / Group Chief Executive Officer 2 June 2022 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 March 2022 7 Independent Auditor’s Report to the Member of Singapore Power Limited Opinion Independent Auditor’s Report For the financial year ended 31 March 2022 Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Singapore Power Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the balance sheets of the Group and the Company as at 31 March 2022, the income statements, statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity of the Group and the Company and statement of cash flows of the Group for the financial year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group, the balance sheet, income statement, statement of comprehensive income and statement of changes in equity of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1967 (the “Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) (“SFRS(I)”) so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 March 2022 and of the financial performance, changes in equity of the Group and the Company and consolidated cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that date. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (“SSAs”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (“ACRA”) Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (“ACRA Code”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Other Information Management is responsible for other information. The other information comprises the directors’ statement. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 March 2022 8 Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Act and SFRS(I), and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair financial statements and to maintain accountability of assets. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The directors’ responsibilities include overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 March 2022 9 • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 18 Notes to the financial statements These notes form an integral part of the financial statements. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 2 June 2022. 1 Domicile and activities Singapore Power Limited (the “Company”) is incorporated in the Republic of Singapore and has its registered office at 2 Kallang Sector, SP Group Building, Singapore 349277. The immediate and ultimate holding company is Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. The principal activities of the Company are that of investment holding and provision of management support services. Its subsidiaries are engaged principally in the transmission and distribution of electricity and gas, provision of related consultancy services and investments in related projects. The consolidated financial statements relate to the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interests in associates and joint ventures (collectively referred to as “Group entities”). 2 Basis of preparation 2.1 Statement of compliance The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) (“SFRS(I)”). 2.2 2.3 Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies set out below. Functional and presentation currency These financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. All financial information presented in Singapore dollars has been rounded to the nearest 0.1 million, unless otherwise stated. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 19 2.4 Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with SFRS(I) requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is discussed below: Taxation The Group is subject to taxes mainly in Singapore and Australia. Significant judgement is required in determining provision for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Details are set out in Note 11 and Note 27. Impairment of associates Impairment reviews in respect of associates are performed at least annually or when there is any indication that the investment in associates may be impaired. More regular reviews are performed if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicate potential impairment. The Group uses the present value of future cash flows to determine the recoverable amounts of the underlying cash generating units in the associates. In calculating the recoverable amounts, significant management judgement is required in forecasting cash flows of the cash generating units, in estimating the terminal growth values and in selecting an appropriate discount rate. Estimating fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition, measurement and disclosure purposes. Note 31 sets out the basis of valuation of financial assets and liabilities. Accrued revenue Revenue accrual estimates are made to account for the unbilled period between the end-user’s last billing date and the end of the accounting period. The accrual relies on detailed analysis of customers’ historical consumption patterns, which takes into account base usage and sensitivity to consumption growth. The results of this analysis are applied for the number of days over the unbilled period. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 20 Regulatory deferral accounts Regulatory deferral account debit or credit balances represent timing differences between revenue recognised for financial reporting purposes (as set out in Note 3.18) and revenue earned for regulatory purposes. Revenue earned for regulatory purposes is estimated based on the revenue allowed by the Energy Market Authority (“EMA”) (in accordance with the price regulation framework), taking into consideration the services rendered, sale and volume of electricity and gas delivered to consumers. Note 3.16 sets out the accounting policy for regulatory deferral accounts. 2.5 Changes in accounting policies Adoption of new and revised SFRS(I)s and Interpretation to SFRS(I) The Group has applied the Amendments to SFRS(I) 9, SFRS(I) 1-39, SFRS(I) 7, SFRS(I) 4, SFRS(I) 16: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 which is effective for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021. The Phase 2 amendments provide practical relief from certain requirements in SFRS(I) Standards. The amendment most relevant to the Group is where it provides for a series of temporary exceptions from certain hedge accounting requirements when a change required by the interest rate benchmark reform occurs to a hedge item and / or hedging instrument that permit the hedge relationship to be continued without interruption. The Group applies the following reliefs as and when uncertainty arising the from interest rate benchmark reform is no longer present with respect to the timing and the amount of the interest rate benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or hedging instrument: • the Group amends the designation of a hedging relationship to reflect changes that are required by the reform without discontinuing the hedging relationship; and • when a hedged item in a cash flow hedge is amended to reflect the changes that are required by the reform, the amount accumulated in the hedging reserve is deemed to be based on the alternative benchmark rate on which the hedged future cash flows are determined. The details of the accounting policies and related disclosures on financial risk management are disclosed in Note 3.6 and 31. There was no significant financial impact to the Group as a result of these amendments. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 21 3 Significant accounting policy The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these financial statements, and have been consistently applied by the Group entities, which addresses changes in accounting policies due to the adoption of new and revised standards. 3.1 Basis of consolidation Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that are currently exercisable. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date and included in the consideration transferred. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. For non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets in the event of liquidation, the Group elects on a transaction-by-transaction basis whether to measure them at fair value, or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, at the acquisition date. All other non-controlling interests are measured at acquisition-date fair value, or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another standard. Any excess or deficiency of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed is accounted for as goodwill or bargain purchase gain (see Note 3.4). Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment losses. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 22 Loss of control Upon the loss of control, the Group de-recognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income depending on the level of influence retained. Joint arrangements A joint arrangement is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement, the arrangement is a joint operation. To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the net assets of the arrangement, the arrangement is a joint venture. The Group recognises its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for the investment using the equity method. The accounting policy for investment in joint venture is set out below. Investments in associates and joint ventures (equity-accounted investees) An associate is an entity over which the Group has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but does not have control or joint control of those policies. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (equity-accounted investees) and are recognised initially at cost. The Group’s investments in equity-accounted investees include goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the equity-accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies of the equity-accounted investees with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity-accounted investee, the carrying amount of the investment, together with any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation to fund the investee’s operations or has made payments on behalf of the investee. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 23 Acquisition of non-controlling interests Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result of such transactions. The adjustments to non-controlling interests arising from transactions that do not involve the loss of control are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary. Any difference between the adjustment to non-controlling interests and the fair value of consideration paid is recognised directly in equity and presented as part of equity attributable to owners of the Company. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Accounting for subsidiaries and joint ventures by the Company Investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures are stated in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 3.2 Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The functional currencies of the Group entities are mainly Singapore dollars, Australian dollars and Chinese Yuan Renminbi. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currencies at the exchange rate at the reporting date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the date on which the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the translation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation that is effective, an equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income, or qualifying cash flow hedges which are recognised in other comprehensive income. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, excluding goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Singapore dollars for presentation in these financial statements at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Singapore dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 24 Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (“translation reserve”) in equity. However, if the foreign operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of, such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the translation reserve in equity. 3.3 Property, plant and equipment Recognition and measurement Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for their intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing cost. Capitalisation of borrowing costs will cease when the asset is ready for its intended use. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and is recognised net within other income/other operating expenses in profit or loss. Subsequent costs The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is de-recognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 25 Depreciation Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Freehold land and construction-in-progress are not depreciated. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Leasehold land Buildings, office and tunnels Plant and machinery - Mains (Electricity) - Mains (Gas) - Transformers and switchgear Other plant and equipment (principally gas storage plant, remote control and meters) Motor vehicles and office equipment Over the term of the lease, ranging from 3 – 99 years 2 – 40 years or the lease term, if shorter 10 – 30 years 5 – 50 years or the lease term, if shorter 20 – 30 years 2 – 40 years 2 – 10 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end, and adjusted if appropriate. 3.4 Intangible assets Goodwill Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets and represents the excess of: - the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus - the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus - if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Subsequent measurement Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of equity-accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and an impairment loss on such an investment is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the equity-accounted investee. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 26 Other intangible assets Other intangible assets with finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Expenditure on internally generated goodwill is recognised in profit or loss as an expense when incurred. Intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not available for use are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Software is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 2 to 5 years. Deferred expenditure relates mainly to contributions paid by the Group in accordance with regulatory requirements towards capital expenditure costs incurred by electricity generation companies and onshore receiving facility operator, and is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Deferred expenditure is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period in which the Group derives benefits from the capital contribution payments, which is generally the useful life of the relevant equipment ranging from 7 to 19 years. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalised development costs arising from development expenditures on an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete and the ability to measure reliably the expenditures during the development. Following initial recognition of the capitalised development costs as an intangible asset, it is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the intangible asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. Capitalised development costs have a finite useful life and are amortised over the period of 5 years on a straight line basis. Intangible assets under construction are stated at cost. No amortisation is provided until the intangible assets are ready for use. 3.5 Investment property under development Investment property under development is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property under development is measured at cost on initial recognition. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The cost of self-constructed investment property includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment property under development to a working condition for their intended use and capitalised borrowing costs. Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property under development (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss. When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting. Property that is being constructed for future use as investment property under development is accounted for at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Investment property under development is not depreciated. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 27 3.6 Financial instruments Non-derivative financial assets Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets are recognised when, and only when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Trade receivables are measured at the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third party, if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component at initial recognition. Subsequent measurement Investments in debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. The measurement categories for classification of debt instruments are: (i) (ii) (iii) Amortised cost Financial assets that are held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the assets are de-recognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Financial assets measured at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses from changes in fair value of the financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses and interest calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is de-recognised. Fair value through profit or loss Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 28 Investments in equity instruments On initial recognition of an investment in equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value in OCI. Dividends from such investments are to be recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. For investments in equity instruments which the Group has not elected to present subsequent changes in fair value in OCI, changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. De-recognition The Group de-recognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and bank deposits. Non-derivative financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. For financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss incurred. Subsequent measurement After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are de-recognised, and through the amortisation process. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 29 De-recognition A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. On de-recognition, the difference between the carrying amounts and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented on the balance sheets when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The rights of offset must not be contingent on a future event and must be enforceable in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of all the counterparties to the contract. Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value and any directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognised in profit or loss. The Group designates certain derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments in qualifying hedging relationships. At inception of designated hedging relationships, the Group documents the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Group also documents the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other. The Group applies hedge accounting for certain hedging relationships which qualify for hedge accounting. For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as: • cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognised firm commitment; or • fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm commitment. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 30 Cash flow hedges When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount accumulated in equity is included in the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is recognised. In other cases, the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit and loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income will remain in the cash flow hedge reserve until the future cash flows occur if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur or reclassified to profit or loss immediately if the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur. Fair value hedges Changes in the fair value of a derivative hedging instrument designated as a fair value hedge are recognised in profit or loss. The hedged item is adjusted to reflect changes in its fair value in respect of the risk being hedged; the gain or loss attributable to the hedged risk is recognised in profit or loss with an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item. Hedges directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform Phase 1 amendments: Prior to interest rate benchmark reform – when there is uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform For the purpose of evaluating whether there is an economic relationship between the hedged item(s) and the hedging instrument(s), the Group assumes that the benchmark interest rate is not altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the Group assumes that the benchmark interest rate will not be altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform for the purpose of assessing whether the forecast transaction is highly probable and presents an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss. In determining whether a previously designated forecast transaction in a discontinued cash flow hedge is still expected to occur, the Group assumes that the interest rate benchmark cash flows designated as a hedge will not be altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform. The Group will cease to apply the specific policy for assessing the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument (i) to a hedged item or hedging instrument when the uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform is no longer present with respect to the timing and the amount of the contractual cash flow of the respective item or instrument or (ii) when the hedging relationship is discontinued. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 31 For its highly probable assessment of the hedged item, the Group will no longer apply the specific policy when the uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform about the timing and the amount of the interest rate benchmark-based future cash flows of the hedged item is no longer present, or when the hedging relationship is discontinued. Phase 2 amendments: Replacement of interest rates – when there is no longer uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform When the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument changes as a result of interest rate benchmark reform and therefore there is no longer uncertainty arising about the cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument, the Group amends the hedged documentation of that hedging relationship to reflect the change(s) required by interest rate benchmark reform. A change in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows is required by interest rate benchmark reform if the following conditions are met: • the change is necessary as a direct consequence of the reform; and • the new basis for determining the contractual cash flow is economically equivalent to the previous basis – i.e. the basis immediately before the change. For this purpose, the hedge designation is amended only to make one or more of the following changes: • designating an alternative benchmark rate as the hedged risk; • updating the description of hedged item, including the description of the designated portion of the cash flows or fair value being hedged; or • updating the description of the hedging instrument. The Group amends the description of the hedging instrument only if the following conditions are met: • it makes a change required by interest rate benchmark reform by changing the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of the hedging instrument or using another approach that is economically equivalent to changing the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of the original hedging instrument; and • the original hedging instrument is not derecognised. The Group amends the formal hedge documentation by the end of the reporting period during which a change required by interest rate benchmark reform is made to the hedged risk, hedged item or hedging instrument. These amendments in the formal hedge documentation do not constitute the discontinuation of the hedging relationship or the designation of a new hedging relationship. If changes are made in addition to those changes required by interest rate benchmark reform described above, then the Group first considers whether those additional changes result in the discontinuation of the hedge accounting relationship. If the additional changes do not result in discontinuation of the hedge accounting relationship, then the Group amends the formal hedge documentation for changes required by interest rate benchmark reform as mentioned above. When the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged future cash flows had been based is changed as required by interest rate benchmark reform, for the purpose of determining whether the hedged future cash flows are expected to occur, the Group deems that the hedging reserve recognised in OCI for the hedging relationship is based on the alternative benchmark rate on which the hedged future cash flows will be based. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 32 Intra-group financial guarantees in the separate financial statements Financial guarantees are financial instruments issued by the Group that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for the loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to meet payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantees issued are initially measured at fair value and the initial fair value is amortised over the life of the guarantees. Subsequent to initial measurement, the financial guarantees are measured at the higher of the amortised amount and the amount of loss allowance. Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Expected credit losses are measured for financial guarantees issued as the expected payments to reimburse the holder less any amounts that the Group expects to recover. 3.7 Impairment Non-derivative financial assets The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss and financial guarantee contracts. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognised for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, the Group applies the low credit risk simplification. At every reporting date, the Group evaluates whether the debt instrument is considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. The Group considers a financial asset potentially in default when contractual payments are 180 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 33 Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amounts are estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit (“CGU”) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows and are utilised by more than one CGU. Corporate assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and tested for impairment as part of the testing of the CGU to which the corporate asset is allocated. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Such reversal of impairment is recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in an associate or a joint venture is not recognised separately, and therefore is not tested for impairment separately. Instead, the entire amount of the investment in an associate or a joint venture is tested for impairment as a single asset when there is objective evidence that the investment in an associate or a joint venture may be impaired. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 34 3.8 Inventories Spare parts, accessories and other consumables are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined based on the weighted average method, and includes expenditure in acquiring the inventories and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Cost may also include transfers from other comprehensive income of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of inventories. Allowance for obsolete, deteriorated or damaged stocks is made when considered appropriate. 3.9 Accrued revenue Revenue accrual estimates are made to account for the unbilled amount at the reporting date. 3.10 Contract balances Progress billings to customers are based on a payment schedule in the contract and are typically triggered upon achievement of specified contractual milestones. A contract asset is recognised when the Group has performed under the contract but has not yet billed the customer. Conversely, a contract liability is recognised when the Group has not yet performed under the contract but has received advanced payments from the customer. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights to consideration become unconditional. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue as the Group performs under the contract. Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment. Note 3.7 sets out the accounting policy on impairment of financial assets. 3.11 Employee benefits Provision is made for the accrued liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees up to the reporting date. The provision represents the Group’s total estimated liability at the reporting date for employee entitlements. Long service leave The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date, including on-costs. Consideration is given to expected future salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using interest rates on government guaranteed bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Defined contribution plans A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 35 Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably. 3.12 Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. Environmental Environmental provision is made for the rehabilitation of sites based on the estimated costs of the rehabilitation. The liability includes the costs of reclamation, plant closure and dismantling, and waste site closure. The liability is determined based on the present value of the obligation. Annual adjustments to the liability are recognised in profit or loss over the estimated life of the sites. The costs are estimated based on assumptions of current legal requirements and technologies. Any changes in estimates are dealt with on a prospective basis. Onerous contracts A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract. 3.13 Government grant Capital grant is recognised on a straight-line basis and taken to profit or loss over the periods necessary to match the depreciation of the assets purchased with the government grants. Operating grant is taken to profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred. 3.14 Deferred construction cost compensation Deferred construction cost compensation received to defray costs relating to the construction of an asset are accounted for as a government grant. Note 3.13 sets out the government grant accounting policy. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 36 3.15 Deferred income Deferred income comprises (i) government grants for the purchase of depreciable assets, (ii) contributions made by certain customers towards the cost of capital projects received prior to 1 July 2009 and (iii) compensation received to defray operating expenses. Government grants and customer contributions Deferred income is recognised on a straight-line basis and taken to profit or loss over the periods necessary to match the depreciation of the assets purchased with the government grants and customers’ contribution. 3.16 Regulatory deferral account (“RDA”) debit or credit balances Use of system charges, transportation of gas, district cooling services and Market Support Services fees Regulatory deferral account debit or credit balances represent timing differences between revenue recognised for financial reporting purposes and revenue earned for regulatory purposes. Movements in the regulatory deferral account debit or credit balances are recognised in profit or loss over the periods necessary to adjust revenue recognised for financial reporting purposes to revenue earned for regulatory purposes based on services rendered. At the end of each regulatory period, adjustments for amounts to be recovered or refunded are taken to profit or loss as net movement in regulatory deferral account balances. 3.17 Price regulation and licence The Group’s operations in Singapore are regulated under the Electricity Licence for Transmission Licensee, Electricity Licence for Market Support Services Licensee, Gas Licence, and the District Cooling Services Licence issued by the Energy Market Authority (“EMA”) of Singapore. Allowed revenue to be earned from the supply and transmission of electricity, transportation of gas and the provision of market support services is regulated based on certain formulae and parameters set out in those licences, relevant acts and codes. Allowed revenue for district cooling corresponds to the quantum which the Group is entitled to under Condition 13 (Economic Regulation) of its District Cooling Services Licence issued by the Energy Market Authority of Singapore. Revenue recognised for financial reporting purposes may differ from revenue earned for regulatory purposes due to revenue or volume variances. This may result in adjustments that may increase or decrease tariffs in succeeding periods. Amounts to be recovered or refunded are brought to account as adjustments to net movement in regulatory deferral account debit or credit balances in the income statement in the period in which the Group becomes entitled to the recovery or liable for the refund. The Group’s capital expenditure may vary from its regulatory plan and is subject to a review by the EMA. The results of the variances in capital expenditure may be translated into price adjustments, if any, in the following reset period. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 37 The use of system charges, transportation of gas charges and allowed revenue to be recovered from Market Support Services fees are approved by the EMA for a 5-year regulatory period in accordance with the price regulation framework. 3.18 Revenue recognition Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. Sale of electricity Revenue from the sale of electricity is recognised over time when electricity is delivered to consumers. Use of system charges and transportation of gas Revenue from use of system charges and transportation of gas is recognised over time based on tariff billings to customers when the volume of electricity and gas is delivered. Revenue from take-or-pay arrangements relating to the transportation of gas is recognised when it is probable that such revenue is receivable. District cooling service income Income from services is recognised over time when the services are rendered. Agency fees and Market Support Services fees Agency fees from acting as billing agent and fees for services provided as the Market Support Services Licensee are recognised over time when the services are rendered. Dividend income Dividend income is recognised on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established. Rental income Rental income is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Support service income and management fees Support service income and management fees are recognised when the services are rendered. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 38 Meters supply and installation fees The Group entered into a contract with customer to provide meters and installation services. Management has considered that the meters have no alternative use for the Group due to contractual restrictions, and the Group has enforceable rights to payment for performance completed to date, arising from the contractual terms. Accordingly, revenue is recognised over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. The measure of progress is determined based on the proportion of costs incurred to date to the estimated total contract costs (“input method”). Costs incurred that are not related to the contract or that do not contribute towards satisfying the performance obligation are excluded from the measure of progress and instead are expensed as incurred. Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in the profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by management. 3.19 Leases The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. As lessor Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term. Rental income under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss over the term of the lease. Where assets are leased under a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments is recognised as a receivable. The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognised as unearned finance income. Lease income is recognised over the lease term using the net investment method, which reflects a constant periodic rate of return. Contingent rental income is recognised in profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred. As lessee The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets. Right-of-use assets The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement or on modification date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022 39 If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to Note 3.7 for the accounting policy. Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Covid-19-related rent concessions The Group has applied Amendment to SFRS(I) 16 Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions. The Group applies the practical expedient allowing it not to assess whether eligible rent concessions that are a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic are lease modifications. The Group applies the practical expedient consistently to contracts with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances. For rent concessions in leases to which the Group chooses not to apply the practical expedient, or that do not qualify for the practical expedient, the Group assesses whether there is a lease modification.

Emergency starter kits for all households By AUDREY TAN ALL households in Singapore will get three N95 masks delivered free to their homes from today, in the largest mask distribution exercise to date. They are part of an emergency starter kit which will be delivered to all 1.2 million households by Monday, said Temasek Cares yesterday. The non-profit, philanthropic arm of Temasek Holdings is partnering Singapore Power and Singapore Post for the $4 million programme. Aside from the 3M-manufactured masks, the kit will also contain information on how to wear the masks and emergency contact numbers. Temasek Cares chairman Richard Magnus said the programme hopes to spur Singaporeans into thinking about emergency preparedness. “The starter kit includes three N95 masks so that each household can have an initial stock in case of a flu pandemic or severe haze,” he said. “We hope (the kits) will prompt individuals and families to develop their own emergency plans.” Households with more than three people could consider buying more N95 masks, or bulk up their emergency “grab bags” by including medication or vitamins required by members of the family, Mr Magnus said. Being prepared could also mitigate the problem of people rushing to buy products, such as masks, during emergencies. Mr Magnus added: “Before the emergency arises, they would have already taken action so they are prepared – just like having an umbrella for a rainy day.” The starter kit initiative is the The emergency starter kit distribution exercise was symbolically flagged off yesterday at the Singapore Power training institute.

The first is a $1.5 million programme to train 60 social workers, therapists and school counsellors in trauma-focused therapy for children. The fund, administered by Temasek Cares under its Stay Prepared initiative, aims to help Singaporeans build up community resources to deal with emergencies. On top of the starter kits for households, 17,000 kits will go to 144 charities including the Metta Home for the Disabled and The Salvation Army Gracehaven. Another 300,000 will be on standby for needy families in case of a crisis. The mask distribution exercise is the largest to date. At the peak of the haze in June last year, one million N95 masks were earmarked for 200,000 of the poorest households and vulnerable Singaporeans. During the epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) in 2003, two surgical masks and a thermometer were distributed to 1.1 million households. Communications officer Jaclyn Sim, 31, said organisers could consider giving masks only to low-income households as those who earn more “can easily get their own”. “To get Singaporeans thinking, a brochure with graphics depicting different emergency scenarios may be better,” she added. audreyt@sph.com.sg N95 masks can be stored for five years THE N95 masks that went on sale during the haze period last year can still be used as they have a shelf life of five years. But Ms Foo Meow Ling, a nurse clinician at the infection control unit at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, said there should be “no air leakage around the face when the wearer exhales”. Ms Helen Foo, general manager at mask manufacturer and technology firm 3M, said: “After five years, the nose clip and elastic headband may loosen or disintegrate, leading to a poor face seal and affecting the effectiveness.” The masks should also be changed when “the wearer finds it hard to breathe, or when it is soiled or physically damaged”, she added. The N95 mask is “at least 95 per cent efficient against fine particles that are about 0.1 to 0.3 microns” in size, according to the Health Ministry’s website. It is 99.5 per cent efficient against larger particles, such as those 0.75 microns and above. This makes it effective for use against the PM2.5 particle, an air pollutant associated with vehicle emissions and the haze that is less than 2.5 microns in size. Masks should also be stored in their original packaging and in cool and dry conditions, said 3M’s Ms Foo. AUDREY TAN
