Joint Media Release UPAGE And SP Group Form Company Training Committee To Upskill 3,600 Employees In view of the energy sector’s rapid transformation, which comprises digitalisation and rising customer expectations, SP Group (SP) is working together with the Union of Power and Gas Employees (UPAGE) to prepare its employees to be ready for these changes via the formalisation of a Company Training Committee (CTC). In addition, SP has committed S$35 million over the next three years until 2022 to further develop competencies in the areas of customer service, cybersecurity, data analytics, safety and skills for a digital workplace.   In January 2018, SP in collaboration with UPAGE, launched Project FUSION which stands for “Future Skills for Everyone”. Project FUSION has benefitted about 80 per cent of SP’s staff strength in the past two years, and it is in the process of upgrading more than 200 job roles   The CTC is a formalisation of this continued partnership. Comprising UPAGE and SP’s management representatives, the CTC is a joint effort in meeting talent resourcing needs in a sustainable manner. This will ensure SP is well prepared with human capital equipped with the right skill sets and mindset for its business growth.   UPAGE General Secretary Abdul Samad bin Abdul Wahab shared, “Some of our workers are anxious with changes coming their way, as there is the fear that technology will be taking over jobs. Through this CTC, we hope to allay this fear by explaining and showcasing how upskilling and taking on higher value jobs will lead to better wages and work prospects. As union leaders, we want to lead by example, too, and be the first to attend training courses so we can encourage others to sign up.”   . Mr Wong Kim Yin, Group CEO of SP Group, added, “The energy industry is transforming, with the advent of new technology. We want to help our people adapt and prepare ahead of this potentially disruptive transformation. Today, in collaboration with UPAGE, we are formalising this initiative with the CTC. Over the next three years, we are committing S$35 million to equip our employees with adaptive and technical skills, so we can meet the changing needs of customers in an increasingly digitalised world.”   One of the signature features of a CTC is the ground-up approach to identifying jobs affected by both industry and company transformation, putting in place targeted training programmes to help employees acquire relevant skills to take on new or transformed jobs.   Mohd Farhan bin Kasman, 34, is a Warehouse Assistant-turned-Condition Monitoring Technician at SP Group. He is one of 200 workers whose role was upgraded. Said Mohd Farhan, “My previous duties included the issuance of equipment and taking stock, but I picked up new skills in technology and data management, and now enjoy a greater sense of purpose at work.”   NTUC Secretary General Ng Chee Meng said, “The power industry is experiencing structural change and disruption. Whilst this poses challenges, it also offers opportunities for companies and workers to transform themselves. It’s therefore vital that our unions and management work closely to assess skill gaps, identify training needs and more importantly, design a job progression pathway for our workers to grow with the company. Hence I am happy to witness the formation of this CTC that covers all its workers at SP Group.”   About Company Training Committees Company Training Committees (CTCs) are an initiative by the Labour Movement to help both workers and companies transform for the future. First announced in February 2019, it involves our union leaders working closely with management to firstly, understand the company’s strategic objectives and transformation plans; secondly, identify and address skills gaps and training needs; and thirdly, seize opportunities for companies to adopt new technologies for enhanced productivity. The objectives of CTCs are therefore two-pronged – first, to help workers become Worker 4.0, which is defined by the Labour Movement as workers who are proficient in working with machines, using technology and tapping digital resources to be more productive at work; and second, to partner companies in their transformation towards Industry 4.0. Combined, these will help our workers have better Wages, Welfare and Work Prospects. About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

OverviewBusinessesIndividualsRECsCarbon CreditsSustainability ConsultingThe OneMillionTrees MovementContact Us Sustainability Consulting 1. Measuring your carbon footprint We help you measure your organisation's carbon footprint and identify the source of emission by creating a robust inventory of emissions (i.e. Scope 1, 2 and 3) in compliance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol). Scope 1: Direct (greenhouse gas) emissions occur from sources that are owned or controlled by the company, for example, emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers, furnaces, vehicles, etc.  Scope 2: Accounts for (greenhouse gas) emissions from the generation of purchased energy consumed by the company. Scope 3: Emissions are a consequence of the activities of the company, but from sources not owned or controlled by the company. These activities cover a wide range along a company’s entire value chain, including raw materials, logistics, business travel by the team, and how your employees commute to work.  2. Reporting framework There are multiple reporting frameworks such as Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), CDP (formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project) and others which are often confusing to people starting their sustainability journey. Our team is here to assist you to understand which framework to adopt that best suit your organization needs. 3. Sourcing for the right offsets After taking a science-based approach to reduce your organisation's emissions, often there are unavoidable emissions remaining to achieve your net zero target. Our team is here to assist you in sourcing the right high quality carbon credits aligned with your organisation's values and commitments. Have a business inquiry?

Media Release Request For Proposal On Energy Storage Test-bed SINGAPORE, 12 MAY 2016 - The Energy Market Authority (EMA) and Singapore Power (SP) jointly announced the launch of a Request for Proposal (RFP) to implement a utility-scale Energy Storage System (ESS) Test-bed. 1. Findings from this initiative will help us better understand and facilitate the deployment of ESS in Singapore. Energy storage has the potential to allow us to better manage electricity demand. It will also facilitate greater deployment of solar, thereby reducing our carbon footprint and contributing to energy independence. 2. This ESS Test-bed is projected to be 6MW in size, which can power 500 four-room HDB flats for a day. The Test-bed will evaluate the performance of large-scale ESS for different grid applications. Different technologies such as Li-ion, flywheels, and redox flow batteries could be deployed at three substation locations in Singapore. 3. This Test-bed is unique as proposals will have to take into account operating conditions under our hot and humid climate, which impact ESS performance. Space constraints and safety concerns will also have to be factored in given our highly built-up and urbanised environment. 4. The RFP is available at https://www.ema.gov.sg/Energy_Storage_Programme.aspx and interested parties are invited to submit proposals by 12pm on 3 August 2016.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Pushing The Frontiers Of Innovation INNOVATION Brandon Chia, Managing Director of Investments, at SP’s Concept Lab. A former SP cable-jointing workshop at Woodleigh has been upcycled to be the birthplace of cutting-edge discoveries. The 23,000 sq ft site space is repurposed to be SP’s “Concept Lab”, and acts as a collaboration space for its open innovation team of 40 and co-development partners. At the Concept Lab, breakthrough ideas to solve energy challenges faced by SP and corporate customers are refined, tested and co-developed with experts from industry and academia. “We designed and built the part-lab, part-office space from scratch. We have a lab to test new concepts and technologies, and also an office space to see them at work,” explains Brandon Chia, who led the setting up of the lab in 2018. One of the major breakthroughs was a Hydrogen Energy System that powers the first zero-emission building in Southeast Asia. The system uses solar energy to extract hydrogen from water, safely stores the hydrogen and generates electricity when needed. A three-month pilot in 2019 by the team at Concept Lab and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) tackled the perennial problem of staff at one section of an office feeling warm while those in another are wrapped up in sweaters. By using a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence, temperature uniformity was achieved at the SIT’s Dover campus. This microclimate control technology reduced energy usage by more than 30 per cent. Following its success, plans to potentially scale up this technology at the SIT’s campus in Punggol Digital District are underway. “Innovation isn’t simply about new technology, it is also about relooking the business model and figuring out how new ideas can be made commercially viable and sustainable,” he explained.  The SP scholar’s diverse experience since he first joined SP in 2002 helps him consider innovation from different angles. Brandon has held various positions in SP, ranging from operations, regulatory management and risk management to business development, mergers and acquisitions and technology development, in Singapore and Australia. This puts him in good stead for his newly minted role as Managing Director of Investments for SP’s international businesses. Brandon with team members and partners from SIT & 75F [1] at the Concept Lab. “Innovation isn’t simply about new technology, it’s also about relooking the business model and figuring out how new ideas can improve quality of life for customers, be sustainable and commercially viable,” he concluded. — 27 February 2020 [1] A building intelligence solutions provider.

Annex 1 Key Projects Featured 1) Scone Project Brief Scone aims to increase renewable energy generation in Singapore significantly using a solar cone. The solar cone is a hybrid that uses solar cone and solar-concentrating lenses to maximise energy absorption onto a solar cell. This cone promises to produce more than five times the energy than a conventional solar panel. It is essentially a higher efficiency concentrator photovoltaic that aims to harness more energy per unit area. Utilising solar technology, a heat exchanger and a cone structure, the cone generates both solar and thermal energy. There is intention to implement the solar cone at the rooftop of residential units as it allows excess heat to be converted to heated water for residential usage. This technology taps on expertise from district cooling. Benefits to customers As it is expected to generate more than five times solar energy as compared to a conventional solar panel, customers using this technology can offset their consumption, thus leading to a lower utilities bill. 2) Cloud Nine Project Brief This project uses the collection of rainwater at the top of high-rise buildings to harvest gravitational potential energy as it falls from the top of the building to the ground. This is especially relevant in Singapore with a large population of tall buildings. By retrofitting these buildings with the team’s proposed mechanism – channelling the rainwater collected on rooftops down the buildings – it will generate energy through the process for storage and subsequent usage. Benefits to customers It uses the energy generated by falling rainwater as an alternate source of renewable energy generation besides solar and wind. It is suitable for countries that face land constraint like Singapore. The use of gravitational force and turbine increases the efficiency to harvest usable energy that can power up a 12-Watt LED light bulb for 21,150 hours. This could potentially translate into cost savings to residents, building management and Town Councils, possibly resulting in lower maintenance fee in the long-term. *** Annex 1 (cont’d) 3) Savez Project Brief Savez’s product is solar cell that mimics photosynthesis for organic, highly sustainable, and versatile energy use. Benefits to customers This product is sustainable, scalable and organic. It is also cost-efficient to produce. *** 4) GreenLoco Project Brief This idea is to use human movement to self-generate electricity. It focuses on crowdsourcing energy, merging piezoelectric technology, wireless power transmission as well as Singapore’s high population density. Benefits to customers This product allows customers to self-generate electricity and raise awareness of energy issues, allowing Singaporeans to contribute to the main grid. *** 5) RoadX Project Brief RoadX is a power generation and transmission solution for Singapore’s roadways. It combines the use of solar panelled, piezo-electric charging roads and roadside wind turbines with dynamic wireless charging through induction for electric vehicles. The plan to vary the usage of each component to suit local traffic conditions of roads. Benefits to customers RoadX aims to help customers reduce carbon emission and fossil fuel dependency. It also seeks to maximise Singapore’s limited land for green energy generation and encourage the uptake of electric vehicles in Singapore.
