SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Going underground to optimise space and enhance security RELIABILITY   SP Group is constructing the first large-scale underground substation in Southeast Asia. Located at Labrador, SP will build its 230kV electrical substation underground to optimise space in land-scarce Singapore for urban growth and development. The substation alone will free up three hectares of prime land space, or the equivalent of four football fields. When in service, the substation will serve the electricity needs of nearby towns such as Alexandra, Clementi, Keppel, Pasir Panjang, and the Science Park district. Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, Stanley Huang, said: “In our business of enabling a low carbon, smart energy future, we are building sustainable and resilient infrastructure. Taking a holistic approach, we are constructing this substation underground, freeing up space above for a 34-storey development. This is in line with Singapore’s urban renewal plans and our own United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals of ensuring access to reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all and tapping on innovation to build sustainable infrastructure.” In addition to optimising land resources for other purposes, underground substations have a lower risk of being exposed and damaged. This will enhance asset and network security.  The Labrador underground substation is part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s underground Master Plan 2019. The underground electricity substation at Labrador and an above-ground commercial building are scheduled for completion in 2024.   TAGS RELIABILITY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Ground feedback, digital tools: How she helps 8,000 workers end their day safely Faster repairs, fewer disruptions: Meet the innovative teams using smart tech to keep your piped gas supply flowing Engineer, 27, shares how she is undaunted by male-dominated energy industry & climbs the ranks

Media Release SP Group Partners New Landlords, Increasing its EV Charging Network to 200 Points Greater convenience for EV drivers with new charging points in the Central Business District, Orchard Road, Sentosa and Paya Lebar Singapore, 9 September 2019 – SP Group (SP) has increased its high-speed electric vehicle (EV) charging network to 200 points across Singapore, including 52 direct current (DC) fast chargers. This comes after SP partnered landlords such as CapitaLand Group, City Developments Limited, Lendlease, Resorts World Sentosa and Soilbuild Group Holdings Ltd to install charging points at select properties. This round of expansion has enabled SP to deliver the largest and fastest public EV charging network in Singapore. SP is targeting 1,000 charging points, of which 250 will be high-speed DC chargers by end of 2020. The new charging points will bring greater convenience to EV drivers, especially with the DC chargers that can charge a car in 30 minutes. Among them are Singapore’s first DC charging points in the Central Business District (CBD). Other new charging locations include Orchard Road, Sentosa and Paya Lebar. Mr Goh Chee Kiong, Head, Strategic Development, SP Group, said, “Our aim is to drive green mobility in Singapore. By building the largest and fastest public EV charging network island-wide, we reduce range anxiety and shorten the time needed to charge the vehicles. Our latest partnerships reflect the strong momentum by property owners to welcome EVs. This will provide greater convenience for EV drivers who can charge their vehicles while at work, shopping or at play.” EV drivers visiting the Orchard Road shopping district, can now charge their cars at Shaw Centre. Republic Plaza has become the first commercial building in the CBD to host a fast charger. Resorts World Sentosa is hosting Sentosa’s first fast chargers. The eastern region of Singapore has a major boost in coverage with a cluster of 20 charging points at Paya Lebar Quarter. (Please refer to the Annex for a list of new charging locations) Drivers can tap on SP Group’s EV charging service through the SP Utilities mobile application, where they can search for the nearest charging points, receive updates on their charging sessions and make payment. Quotes from our partners Ms Lynette Leong, Chief Sustainability Officer for CapitaLand Group, said, “With 44 EV charging points across 11 properties, SP Group is CapitaLand’s largest EV charging partner. CapitaLand leverages our expansive footprint in Singapore to effect positive change for the environment. The unrivalled network of EV charging stations complements our well-connected and well-located properties, encouraging our customers to adopt sustainable mobility solutions in Singapore. Sustainability is an integral part of CapitaLand’s business. From greening our portfolio, designing our buildings to encourage cycling, to encouraging our customers to reduce and recycle their waste, we continue to expand our efforts to enable the community to lead more sustainable lifestyles.” Ms Esther An, Chief Sustainability Officer of CDL, said, “As a property developer and advocate of sustainable development, CDL has always been committed to embracing technology and solutions that reduce environmental impact. With the world and Singapore moving towards a low-carbon economy, the transition to EVs is accelerating. We hope that our partnership with SP will help to further propel the EV movement in Singapore. Through this timely and innovative initiative, CDL’s flagship Republic Plaza will be the first commercial building in Singapore’s CBD to have a DC fastcharging point, bringing greater convenience to EV drivers. In addition, our Tagore 23 Warehouse at Tagore Lane will also join SP’s growing network of EV charging points. CDL will continue to explore various initiatives and innovations in the clean mobility space to build a more sustainable city for the future.” Mr Richard Paine, Managing Director of Paya Lebar Quarter, said, “We are very pleased to work with the SP Group with the enabling infrastructure for EVs at PLQ. We see EVs as representing a better environmental solution for cars in Singapore and are already seeing demand from our PLQ office tenants for EV charging stations.” About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Guarding Gas Operations for the Nation’s Power Needs RELIABILITY Ong Sheau Chin at the Sakra Gas Receiving Facility in Jurong Island. Most people associate gas with cooking, so it is easy to underestimate how gas operations impact households and businesses. As much as 95 per cent of the gas that is imported into Singapore daily is transported to power plants for our electricity needs. The remaining 5 per cent is piped to smaller industries and as town gas for home and business users. Ensuring its reliability is a key priority for Ong Sheau Chin, Director for SP Group’s Gas Operations.  “Few realise that we supply natural gas to the power plants that generate electricity. The responsibility that rests with us requires round-the-clock operations,” explains the 42-year-old, an SP scholar with an honours degree in Electrical Engineering. Clockwork precision for his team of 70 is critical in keeping demand and supply in check. They are entrusted to man the Gas System Control Centre - the eyes and ears of the nation’s entire gas network - and two onshore gas receiving facilities for piped natural gas from Indonesia and Malaysia. From left: Ong Sheau Chin leads the Gas System Operations team, here with team members Principal Engineer Alex Yeo, Senior Engineer Ang Guan Kang and Technical Officer Muhammad Reza Bin Mahmood. They also oversee the commercial aspects of gas management and handle the careful balancing act between the amount of gas received, the demand from specific users, and the actual volume of gas utilised. Sheau Chin and his team must be well-versed in the industry’s rules and standard operating procedures.  They also conduct regular drills to refine and reiterate processes. “The gas networks are the upstream of power plants. We cannot afford to make mistakes. We must do our jobs well and do it right the first time,” he adds. Sheau Chin’s job requires not just technical know-how, but an ability to navigate the policies and rules in the gas marketplace. It is a role that his experience in regulatory affairs as well as a front row seat to the deregulation of the gas market in 2008, has prepared him for. Besides spearheading improvements in Singapore’s gas network, Sheau Chin is also driven by the motivation to make a difference.  Last year, under his stewardship as Chairperson of the SP Heart Workers – SP’s staff volunteers - the team focused its efforts on increasing the number and range of volunteer activities to better serve the needs of the community. Sheau Chin catching up with seniors at Meeting Point@ 128 Toa Payoh over lunch. “Our aim is to leave sustained engagement with the community, so that we can better understand and meet their needs more effectively,” said Sheau Chin. He has led activities at senior activity centres, nursing homes and student care centres. These include organising carnivals for children, grocery shopping trips with seniors and education on energy efficiency and gas safety. To Sheau Chin, it’s about giving every role he plays, his 100 per cent!   — 17 December 2019 TAGS PEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Ground feedback, digital tools: How she helps 8,000 workers end their day safely Faster repairs, fewer disruptions: Meet the innovative teams using smart tech to keep your piped gas supply flowing Engineer, 27, shares how she is undaunted by male-dominated energy industry & climbs the ranks

General Information 1.1 Purpose of this Document PowerGas is licensed by the Energy Market Authority (“Authority”) to be the Gas Transporter (“Transporter”) which owns, operates, and maintains the piped gas network in Singapore. SP PowerGrid (“SPPG”) is licensed by the Authority to be the Gas Transporter Agent to operate and maintain the piped gas network in Singapore on behalf of PowerGas. SPPG’s gas business is to plan, design, operate and maintain gas network assets in a manner that supports the delivery of safe, reliable, efficient, and quality services to customers. Under the Gas Transporter Licence, the Gas Transporter has to develop separate fees and charges for separate gas transportation services such as connection services and transportation services. This document sets out the connection policy and procedure for Natural Gas supply. 1.2 Singapore Gas Transportation System PowerGas owns an extensive gas transmission and distribution network throughout Singapore. The network is generally buried underground and transports natural gas to the western and northern parts of Singapore, and town gas to the whole of Singapore. The gas assets comprise the transmission network (operating at higher pressures), which forms the main reticulation backbone and the distribution network (operating at lower pressures). • Town gas is manufactured in Senoko Gasworks and delivered to approximately 900,000 customers in Singapore. The customers are made up of industrial, commercial, and residential gas users. Residential customers consist mainly of gas users from HDB, condominiums and landed premises. The town gas transmission network operates at 3 barg whereas the distribution network operates at pressure regimes ranging from 1 kPa to 50 kPa. Natural gas is supplied to about 200 customers and is imported from four sources (two submarine pipelines from Indonesia, one submarine pipeline from Malaysia and internationally through the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal). Under the Gas Network Code, Gas Shippers/Retailers represent the customers that are connected to the natural gas networks. These natural gas customers are typically commercial or industrial and include all power stations. The natural gas transmission network operates mainly at two pressure regimes, 28 barg and 40 barg, and the distribution network operates at pressure regimes ranging from 3 barg to 6 barg.

Charges 4.1 Connection Policy The cost to connect a customer’s gas installation or gas fitting to the Transporter’s gas pipeline network varies from case-to-case, due to the proximity of the customer’s location and the cost of the materials and services required for the gas connection. Where possible, the Transporter will envisage to propose the most cost-effective connection to the applicant. 4.2 Connection Charge The connection charge payable for all gas connection applications is the sum of the project cost less the deductible cost, subject to a minimum connection charge of zero. The description of each of the cost components are shown below. (1) Project cost All costs related to the provision of gas connection from the Transporter’s gas pipeline network to the GSIV, including the Meter Installation (where applicable). (2) Deductible cost The Transporter’s investment value based on the committed gas demand from the applicant for the new gas connection. For distribution connections, the investment value is derived based on the net present value of the 5-Year revenue of the average consumption for each consumption category (see Appendix 8). For transmission connections, the connection charges are calculated individually on a case-bycase basis. In addition, a Last Mile Connection Charge (“LMCC”) will be levied to recover the cost of the “last mile” connection of the gas installation to the GSIV from the applicant. The natural gas transmission/distribution connection deductible cost, LMCC and unit rates used in the determination of the transmission/distribution pipeline estimated capital investment shall be reviewed and adjusted when deemed necessary by the Transporter. The Transporter reserves the right to review the connection charge paid for any new connection and seek reimbursement for the first 5 years under-recovered revenue from the Shipper/Retailer if the actual gas consumption after 5 years of operation is more than 10% below the projected gas demand declared during application. Natural Gas Connection Policy and Procedure Updated 1 Apr 24 Page 11 5.
