Media Release SP Group and Gardens by the Bay Pilot Zero-Waste Gasification System System paves way for sustainable district solutions in Singapore Singapore, 6 June 2019 – SP Group (SP) and Gardens by the Bay announced plans to pilot a zerowaste solution at the Gardens. Using compact gasification technology to convert waste into thermal energy and biochar (carbonised biomass), the system could help to reduce carbon emissions by up to 20 per cent. The smart waste management system could enable sustainable zero-waste districts to be viable in Singapore, bringing the country closer towards a circular economy. At Ecosperity Week 2019, SP and Gardens by the Bay signed an agreement on the rollout of the system, supported by Temasek. The signing was witnessed by Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Masagos Zulkifli. Gasification is an alternative to incineration and it reduces waste to only five per cent of its original volume. There is also no need for the sorting of plastics from general or food waste. This addresses some of Singapore’s key waste disposal challenges. Without the need to transport waste to offsite incineration plants, the use of refuse trucks will also be reduced significantly. This will help to ease traffic conditions and further reduce carbon emissions. The pilot system can handle up to one tonne of waste per day and converts the waste into energy by-products as well as biochar for the Gardens. The main by-product is synthesis gas (syngas) that can be used for thermal heating. The biochar has been known to be used as a soil amendment in agriculture and horticulture, to condition the soil. Mr Jimmy Khoo, CEO, Singapore District Cooling, SP Group, said, “We are developing district solutions to help Singapore achieve its sustainability goals. This paves the way for decentralised waste management for other businesses and residential estates. We are pleased to work with Temasek and Gardens by the Bay towards a zero-waste green space for Singaporeans to enjoy.” Mr Felix Loh, CEO, Gardens by the Bay, said, “As a garden that values nature and sustainability, we have a responsibility towards finding innovative ways to protect our environment. Gardens by the Bay is uniquely placed to allow for the testing of such an onsite system because waste collected in the Gardens can be directly converted and repurposed into by-products, which can in turn be used in the Gardens.” Besides providing an experimentation site and supplying waste for the pilot, Gardens by the Bay will also be studying the usefulness and viability of biochar in improving local soil conditions. Waste generation in Singapore increased seven-fold over the past 40 years. In 2018, 7.7 million tonnes of solid waste was generated and this figure is projected to increase. Even with waste incineration, Singapore’s only landfill at Pulau Semakau will be full by 2035. Building new offshore landfill sites is also not sustainable in land-scarce Singapore.

Table 1 – Engineering Fees (Exclusive of GST) # Category Connection Cost Rate Engineering Fee ($) 1 Up to $100,000 20% 20,000 2 3 4 5 6 7 First $100,000 Next $900,000 First $1m Next $4m First $5m Next $5m First $10m Next $10m First $20m Next $10m First $30m Above $30m - 7.5% - 6.5% - 6.0% - 5.5% - 5.0% - 4.5% # Please refer to Table 1A in Appendix 1 for charges inclusive of GST. 20,000 - 87,500 - 347,500 - 647,500 - 1,197,500 - 1,697,500 - B SERVICE CONNECTION CHARGES B1 Service Connection Charges for LT Supply All LT consumers are required to pay a one-time upfront service connection charge. This charge varies for different load requirements and is categorised as follows: [a) Development Without Substation The service connection charge comprises the cost based on requirement in kVA of tapping supply from both the High Tension [HT) and LT networks, which includes the cost of service cables. For individual consumers without substations, the cost of LT service cable for the same capacity may vary widely depending on their locations with respect to the nearest LT mains. These consumers are not the sole beneficiaries of the extension of the LT network. To achieve a greater degree of equity in terms of cost for these general consumers, a standard cost approach is adopted by grouping consumers with similar supply requirements. The average global cost per kVA is determined based on past statistics. For example, this category of consumers which comprises mainly landed residential owners applying for the same applied load, will pay the same standard connection charge regardless of the location of their premises from the existing LT network. [b) Development With Substation The service connection charge comprises the cost based on requirement in kVA of tapping supply from the HT network and the cost of service cable. The cost of tapping supply from the HT network refers to the cost of cables and consumables used in setting up a new distribution substation. It excludes the cost of shared network assets such as switchgear, transformer and HT network cables. The cost is spread to all new consumers proportionally on a per kVA basis. For consumers with substations, their supply intake point is usually adjacent to the substation, which requires a service cable of approximately 15m in most instances. Therefore, the standard cost of service cable is computed based on a length of 15m. Consumers shall pay the additional cost for service cable exceeding 15m. In addition, consumers shall also pay for those dedicated assets, such as switchgear and transformers, which are serving them and do not benefit others.

For longer lengths, additional charges shall apply. Standard charges are only applicable to consumers who are connected to the shared network. Standard charges are not applicable to consumers where the network extension is unlikely to be shared by others. Some of these include supply to HDB premises, premises involving installation of bigger capacity cable in order to overcome the excessive voltage drop, temporary work sites, public installations and offshore island premises. These consumers will be required to pay for the full connection network cost, based on user-pay principle, as they are the main beneficiaries. B2 Service Connection Charges for HT, EHT and UHT Supply Consumers taking HT, EHT and UHT supply shall pay the cost of the service connections to their intake equipment including cables, associated equipment and facilities to effect the connection of consumers’ equipment to SPPA’s substation/network. The service connection shall cater for single contingency. Consumers requesting for additional level of contingency that exceeds the single contingency standard are required to pay for the full cost of such provision. B3 Dedicated Network/Substation The developer or consumer shall pay the full cost of all associated equipment and facilities under a dedicated network/substation scheme for which the network capacity is intended to serve the developer’s development or consumer’s premise(s) exclusively. A substation comprises land, building, electrical equipment and associated cables. A substation which serves a development or premise has to be provided and paid for by the developer or consumer. As the capacity of electrical equipment is lumpy, the substation may have excess capacity. The developer or consumer will carry the cost of this excess capacity which cannot be avoided. As this substation is required to serve mainly the development’s or consumer’s load, it is considered a dedicated substation. To reduce cost, a developer or consumer can choose to let SPPA bear the cost of the electrical equipment and associated cables, thus making the network/substation a nondedicated one. In return, SPPA must be allowed to allocate the excess capacity to other consumers. Even after the excess capacity is allocated, SPPA shall return the capacity to the developer or consumer if his demand grows later provided existing allocated capacity to other consumers can be diverted. The latter provision shall also apply to the decommissioning of the substation. At present, most substations provided by developers or consumers are non-dedicated substations.

A flat per kWh UOS rate is levied at each metered intake supply point. These are consumers who choose to buy electricity from SP Group at the regulated tariff. 2.2 Low Tension Large Consumer LT Supplies to these contestable consumers are metered on energy (kWh) on a halfhourly time-of-day basis. The respective per kWh charges shall be levied at a “Peak” and an “Off-peak” period for the energy supplied at each metered intake supply point. 2.2.1 Peak Period Charge The Peak Period Charge payable shall be the monthly charge based on the energy (in kWh) supplied to an installation during the peak period, 7.00 am to 11.00 pm, in that month. 2.2.2 Off-Peak Period Charge The Off-Peak Period Charge payable shall be the monthly charge based on the energy (in kWh) supplied to an installation during the off-peak period, 11.00 pm to 7.00 am, in that month. 3 High Tension, Extra-High Tension and Ultra-High Tension Supplies For HT (i.e. HT Small and HT Large), EHT and UHT Supplies, UOS Charges shall be levied at each metered intake supply point as follows : a. Contracted Capacity Charge; b. Peak Period Charge; c. Off-peak Period Charge; d. Reactive Power Charge; e. Uncontracted Capacity Charge, and f. Uncontracted Standby Capacity Charge (applicable to consumers with embedded generation who opt to cap their power demand drawn from the network). 3.1 Contracted Capacity Charge 3.1.1 The Contracted Capacity Charge is a monthly charge payable in any month for the Contracted Capacity at each intake supply point of a consumer. The Contracted Capacity shall be the supply capacity (in kW), which is requested by the consumer for that intake supply point. For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to paragraph 3.1.3 herein, the consumer shall not be allowed to reduce the declared Contracted Capacity upon the signing of the Consumer Connection Agreement / Supply Agreement, notwithstanding the fact that the energisation of the new supply has still not taken place. 3.1.2 For a new connection, consumers are subject to a binding period of 5 years from the target date or the commissioning date for SPPA’s plant and equipment, except for the service cable, whichever is later. During the 5-year binding period, no reduction to the Contracted Capacity is allowed. For new HT, EHT and UHT connections, the minimum Contracted Capacity for each intake supply point is as follows : HT with 1 or 2 feeders HT with 3 or 4 feeders EHT UHT 1,700 kW, 12,751 kW, 25,501 kW, 85,000 kW. During the first year of the 5-year binding period, requests for intermediate incremental steps of Contracted Capacity may be made before the full Contracted Capacity is implemented. The first step shall be at least one quarter ( 1 /4) of the consumer’s requested full Contracted Capacity at each intake supply point. 3.1.3 After the initial 5-year binding period, the consumer may, by giving at least 10 business days’ notice in writing, reduce his Contracted Capacity at each intake supply point subject to the following minimum values: HT with 1 or 2 feeders HT with 3 or 4 feeders EHT UHT 850 kW, 6,375 kW, 12,750 kW, 42,500 kW. Any such reduction in Contracted Capacity shall be subject to a 1-year binding period from the effective date of the revised Contracted Capacity, i.e. the consumer shall not be entitled to make any further reduction in the Contracted Capacity within one year following any such reduction. The Market Support Services Licensee will inform the consumer of the date of their billing cycle. The consumer will be billed based on the revised Contracted Capacity for the entire billing cycle that encompasses the effective date of the revised Contracted Capacity. 3.1.4 The consumer, may, by giving at least 15 business days’ notice in writing, may be allowed to increase his Contracted Capacity, during the 5-year or 1-year binding period. The revised Contracted Capacity shall apply for the remainder of the initial 5-year binding period or for a minimum period of 1 year, whichever is later, provided SPPA is not required to install new or additional equipment. The consumer will be billed based on the revised Contracted Capacity for the entire billing cycle that encompasses the effective date of the revised Contracted Capacity.

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 License, 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 Town 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. 1 Town Gas Connection Policy and Procedure Updated on: 1 Apr 24 Page 2 1.3 Definitions The following terms shall have the following meanings when used in this document. “Authority” means the Energy Market Authority of Singapore established under the Energy Market Authority of Singapore Act (Cap.92B); “Gas Transporter” or “Transporter” means a representative holding a gas transporter’s license; “Gas Retailer” or “Retailer” means a person who supplies gas to Retail Customers and who holds a Retailer’s license; “Gas Shipper” or “Shipper” means a person holding a gas shipper’s license; “Gas Network Code” refers to the Gas Network Code issued by the Authority, setting out common terms and conditions between the Gas Transporter and Shippers who engage the Gas Transporter to transport natural gas though the gas pipeline network. “DR” known as designated representative means a professional engineer or a licensed gas service worker appointed by the developer or a responsible person for the premises; “PE” known as professional engineer means any person who is registered as a professional engineer in the mechanical engineering discipline under the Professional Engineers Act (Cap. 253); “LGSW” known as licensed gas service worker” means a person who is licensed under section 12 (3) of the Gas Act (Chapter 116A); “gas service work” means any work carried out on any gas installation or gas appliance, in whole or in part, including any design, construction, installation, commissioning, erection, testing, repair, addition, alteration or maintenance work; “gas service isolation valve (“GSIV”)” means a valve, located at or near the boundary line of any property or the apron of any building, used by a gas transporter to isolate the supply of gas to that property or building; “gas service pipe” means a pipe or any part thereof, other than a gas main, used for the purpose of conveying gas from a gas main to a gas service isolation valve, and includes any pipe owned by, or under the management or control of, a gas transporter which is used for the purpose of conveying gas from the gas service isolation valve to the meter at a consumer’s premises as defined in the Gas Act (Chapter 116A); “gas fitting” includes any pipe, valve, meter, regulator or other device for the control, measurement and use of gas as defined in the Gas Act (Chapter 116A); 2 Town Gas Connection Policy and Procedure Updated on: 1 Apr 24 Page 3 “Gas installation” means a discrete grouping of gas fittings linking a gas service pipe to a gas appliance as defined in the Gas Act (Chapter 116A); “Gas Meter Control Valve” means a valve at the inlet of any meter used for the purpose of turning on or off a supply of gas through such meter to any gas installation as defined in the Gas (Supply) Regulations; “Meter Installation” means any meter and its associated equipment and installation including associated pipework, filter, valve, pressure regulating equipment, seal, housing, mounting, telemetry equipment, gas chromatograph and flow computer 1.4 Codes of Practices and Regulatory Requirements This connection procedure shall be read in conjunction with the provisions in the Gas Act, Gas (Supply) Regulations, Gas (Metering) Regulations, Gas Supply Code, Gas Metering Code, Singapore Standard, SS608 – Code of Practice for Gas Installation and relevant Retailer’s Handbook of Gas Supply, where applicable.

emotion of the people,” he warned. My Paper, Page A03, 28 July 2015 Charge mobile devices for free at 200 spots SINGAPORE Power (SP) said yesterday that it is giving the nation free use of 200 mobile charging stations for SG50. The stations will be rolled out progressively in high-traffic locations islandwide, including hospitals, tertiary institutions, libraries and supermarkets. At least 20 stations are expected to be installed by the middle of next month, with about 40 more added monthly. All units are expected to be in place by December and will be permanent fixtures. Each unit has 10 individual slots, which contain multiple charging tips such as mini and micro USBs to fit most mobile phones and tablets, and a blank USB port for users to insert their own charging cables. To use the charging station, members of the public can follow the AGENCIES on-screen instructions displayed in English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. They will need to scan the barcode of a personal identification card such as their NRIC, driving licence, student pass or senior citizen concession card, and create a 4-digit personal identification number (PIN) before plugging in their device. The same two-step authentication process is used to retrieve the device. Speaking at the unveiling at Singapore General Hospital (SGH) yesterday, SP Group chief executive Wong Kim Yin said the “Gift Of Power” is aimed at alleviating the stress of modern life by helping Singaporeans stay connected. “Almost all of us carry a mobile phone with us, and running out of power can be distressing. This allows us to get a power boost on the go while attending to other daily tasks,” he said. There are eight charging stations up and running now. Three are located at SGH – two at the Academia building and one at the Singapore National Eye Centre – and five at FairPrice supermarkets in Hougang Street 21, Ang Mo Kio Hub, Thomson Plaza, nex and The Woodgrove.

Volunteers from SunCare SG guiding beneficiaries in an “ocean clean-up” game at its Children’s Day event in Punggol on Oct 4. The $1 million donation from utilities provider SP Group, which will be disbursed over three years, will go towards the charity’s initiatives such as refurbishing homes and providing nutritious food for children. ST PHOTO: JASON QUAH SP Group donates $1m to charity supporting kids from lower-income families Claudia Tan When their eldest son was four and showing signs of speech delay, Mr Muhammad Hafiz Sapeh, who is in his 30s, and his wife worried that the boy would struggle to keep up with his peers in school. To help him, a social worker recommended that the couple send him for reading classes at SunCare SG every Saturday. Now seven, Muhammad Adam Qayyum Muhammad Hafiz, is one of 200 children receiving support from SunCare SG, a charity that helps children and young people. On weekdays, he attends You Shine, an after-school programme that includes games, arts, sports and literacy classes. Adam is also a mentee under You Power, a mentoring programme that takes place on Saturdays. The programmes are free and open to all children who require help. Since joining SunCare SG’s programmes three years ago, Adam has become more confident in his speech and has made vast improvements in his schoolwork. He has also become more outgoing and bubbly, said his mother Nur Adilah Zuraime, who is in her 20s. During a SunCare SG Children’s Day event on Oct 4, Adam proudly told reporters of his aspiration to become a police officer one day. Besides helping Adam with literacy, SunCare SG has also helped the family of six by providing necessities such as milk powder and diapers. It has also improved their living conditions by providing home upgrades such as a bunk bed and an air-conditioning unit. “Three of our children have eczema, which flares up whenever the weather gets very hot,” Madam Adilah said. “We tried using several fans to (alleviate their condition), but that doesn’t really work.” With the provision of these items, Mr Hafiz hopes that his family’s quality of life will improve. The bunk bed allows Mr Hafiz, who previously slept in the living room, to join his wife and children in the sole bedroom. To assist more families such as Mr Hafiz’s, utilities provider SP Group donated $1 million to Sun- Care SG to support its initiatives in improving the lives of lower-income families. The announcement was made during a Children’s Day event at the Lighthouse, a pop-up run by SunCare SG at Block 211A Punggol Walk. Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong and Senior Minister of State for National Development Sun Xueling attended the event to witness the presentation of the donation to SunCare SG. The money, which will be disbursed over three years, will go towards the charity’s initiatives such as refurbishing homes and providing nutritious food for children. Mr David Ong, a board member of SunCare SG, said: “It could be as basic as painting, furnishing or providing them with a mattress.” The aim of these improvements is to make the homes of beneficiaries more conducive places to live in, he added. The funds will also be used to help parents upskill, enabling them to get better jobs to support their families. One such beneficiary is Mr Soo De Nian, 33, who is the sole breadwinner of his family of six. His wife Eileen Ho, 34, is a homemaker who takes care of their four children, aged between one and nine. Mr Soo is currently working as a food delivery rider. With support from SunCare SG, he is now enrolled in a course aimed at preparing him for a role in food and beverage operations. Their eldest daughter Deborah attends the You Power and You Shine programmes and is also part of You Sparkle, the charity’s community choir. Ms Sun said: “At Lighthouse, we believe in having meaningful activities where children can come together, play, make friends and (be able) to talk to people about their feelings and regulate their emotions so they grow up strong, healthy and happy. “So I’m very grateful today that we have SP Group joining us in this endeavour, and through their donation of $1 million to SunCare SG, we are able to continue our programmes here.” claudiatan@sph.com.sg

Schneider Electric Partners SP to Fully Electrify Service Vehicleshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Schneider-Electric-Partners-SP-To-Fully-Electrify-Service-Vehicles Media Release Schneider Electric Partners SP to Fully Electrify Service Vehicles Schneider Electric is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to use SP Group’s nationwide EV charging network Singapore, 2 January 2020 – Schneider Electric (SE) and SP Group (SP) today announced a partnership to fully electrify SE’s service fleet in Singapore. The agreement enables SE’s service vehicles to access SP’s nationwide network of electric vehicle (EV) charging points. SP will fully support SE’s charging needs for at least the next two years. SE has a total service fleet size of 25. Its intent is to convert 10 of its vehicles into EVs by June 2020 and fully electrify its fleet by 2021. This decision was made possible with the partnership with SP. Damien Dhellemmes, Country President of Schneider Electric Singapore elaborates: “Going green is a deliberate decision. After greening our regional headquarters in Singapore, our next step is to electrify our fleet. This is only possible if we have an accessible and wide enough charging network so that our service vehicles can be green and still serve our customers efficiently. SP’s nationwide network gives us the impetus to make this decision.” SP had earlier signed partnerships with Grab and HDT Singapore Taxi (HDT) to support the charging needs of their EV fleets. SE is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to be using SP’s nationwide EV charging network. This represents a growing trend of companies in Singapore electrifying their internal fleets to achieve environmental sustainability and cost savings. SP currently operates Singapore’s largest and fastest public EV charging network with more than 200 charging points across the island. It is targeting 1,000 EV charging points by end of 2020, of which 250 will be high-speed DC (direct current) chargers that can deliver a full charge in 30 minutes. Goh Chee Kiong, Head of Strategic Development, SP Group, said: “SP has built up deep capabilities in electric vehicle charging and usage over the years which we have harnessed for our nationwide public EV charging network. We are pleased to have Schneider Electric as our first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector and are confident this will provide a model for many other corporates to electrify their own fleet vehicles. SP’s pervasive EV charging network across Singapore will fully support their charging needs, providing drivers convenience and peace of mind.” About Schneider Electric At Schneider, we believe access to energy and digital is a basic human right.

[20201113] Straits Times - Higher rebates, surcharges to cut vehicle emissions from next yearhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:cdb796c3-b029-4dbe-a0c0-8a023522f3c5 Higher rebates, surcharges to cut vehicle emissions from next year Clement Yong Rebates on the purchase of cleaner cars will be increased by $5,000 from Jan 1 next year to Dec 31, 2022, under the Vehicular Emissions Scheme (VES). Cleaner taxis will have their rebates increased by $7,500 in the same time period, under the programme aimed at nudging motorists towards more environmentally friendly models of private transport. In the carrot-and-stick model, surcharges for more pollutive vehicles will also be increased – by $5,000 for cars and $7,500 for taxis. This will kick in on July 1 next year instead of at the start of the year to allow time for the market to adjust, and will be in effect until Dec 31, 2022, the National Environment Agency (NEA) and Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a joint statement yesterday. The increased rebates and surcharges mean buyers of cleaner cars will be awarded with rebates of up to $25,000, up from the previous $20,000, while buyers of the most pollutive cars will be penalised by $25,000, also up from $20,000. The VES was introduced in 2018 to reduce carbon emissions on Singapore’s roads. It categorises vehicles based on emissions across five pollutants, with each category’s rebate or surcharge calibrated accordingly. NEA and LTA said the scheme has been effective in encouraging the purchase of cleaner car models, with the number of new cars that qualify for the cleanest two bands increasing by 60 per cent between the third quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of this year. The number of those in the most pollutive two bands has fallen by around 20 per cent in the same time period. Singapore University of Social Sciences associate professor of economics Walter Theseira said the VES rebates and surcharges could push motorists towards the adoption of cleaner cars in two ways. As motor car dealers usually quote a price inclusive of all taxes and certificate of entitlement bidding, a portion of the discounts usually goes to car buyers, while another could go to the dealers. This means that in addition to consumers getting a discount, the VES changes could also encourage car dealers to import cleaner models. Cleaner cars include the Hyundai Kona Electric, Renault Zoe and Toyota Prius Plus, while more pollutive cars are those like the Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 CVT, Mazda CX-5 2.5 AT and Porsche Cayenne E3. The enhanced VES is also a boon for aspiring electric car buyers, whose car models often fall under the cleanest bands. Together with the early adoption incentive scheme for electric vehicle buyers announced by LTA in February – which offers rebates capped at $20,000 per vehicle – the increased rebates under the VES will allow for savings of up to $45,000 for each new fully electric car. However, Associate Professor Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung beside a BlueSG electric vehicle (EV). He said the authorities are reviewing the plan to increase the number of EV-charging points to see if commercial parties could be roped in. PHOTO: ONG YE KUNG/FACEBOOK Theseira noted that there are additional factors to consider with regard to electric vehicles. “The number of electric vehicle models is still very limited compared with that of internal combustion engines. Electric vehicles also require the owner to have available charging. I think until these two are solved, the VES change will have minimal effect,” he said. Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung said yesterday that industry watchers believe that costs for motorists choosing between electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles will equalise by around 2025, or earlier. Electric models are now still generally more expensive, and there were only 1,125 electric cars on the road as at January. SP, Hyundai to boost usage of electric vehicles SP Group and Hyundai Motor Group signed an agreement yesterday to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in Singapore. The Temasek investment fund-owned group and the South Korean automotive manufacturer will work together on various initiatives, including the expansion of Singapore’s electric vehicle-charging infrastructure to make owning an electric car more convenient for motorists. They will also jointly develop a new business model for battery leasing, which will allow electric vehicle users to lease the car battery instead of owning it. It will be the first such exploration in South-east Asia. “SP and Hyundai aim to lower the initial cost of purchasing electric vehicles, enhance the accessibility of charging points and build an ecosystem of innovative solutions that can encourage the adoption of electric vehicles in Singapore,” the two groups said in a press statement. Mr Ong referred to Singapore’s electric vehicle-charging infrastructure, which has been cited as a potential bottleneck by industry watchers who believe the lack of chargers could stop Singapore’s electric dreams in its tracks. Singapore currently has 1,800 charging points and is planning to increase this to 28,000 by 2030. Mr Ong repeated what he said in SP’s group chief executive officer Stanley Huang said electric vehicles constitute a key pillar in SP’s strategy to help Singapore achieve its sustainability goals. Singapore aims for the last internal combustion engine car to be sold in 2030 and wants to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles by 2040. Hyundai Motor Group’s senior vice-president Jung Hong-bum said the group will continue to strengthen its cooperation with various local partners, beginning with this partnership with SP group. It is currently working closely with local universities such as Nanyang Technological University, start-ups and research institutes to create smart city solutions and brainstorm new future business areas. There are currently about 1,800 charging points in Singapore. The aim is to have more than 28,000 by 2030. Clement Yong Parliament last month – that the authorities are reviewing this plan to see if it could be made more ambitious by roping in commercial parties. “What is clear is that EVs (electric vehicles) will become a reality, but we need to embrace and promote it,” he said. clementy@sph.com.sg [20180620] The Straits Times - SP Group to build 500 charging points for electric cars by 2020https://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:9b6dd759-8cbe-4db7-bc1f-15b4e3108ef5 SP Group to build 500 charging points for electric cars by 2020 It says its network will be largest one fully accessible to public, with first 30 set up by year end Adrian Lim Transport Correspondent Energy utilities provider SP Group plans to build 500 charging points for electric vehicles islandwide by 2020. The points will be placed at housing estates, shopping malls, industrial sites and business parks, the firm announced yesterday. While others such as Greenlots, Red Dot Power and BlueSG are already in the market, SP Group said its network will be the largest one fully accessible to the public. More than 100 of the charging points will be of the direct current type with a 50 kilowatt power rating that can fully charge a vehicle in as little as 30 minutes. SP Group said there are fewer than five direct current charging points here now. Most points use alternating current, and a lower 7.4kw rating, which takes the car about seven times longer to be fully charged. An app will allow motorists to pay for charging electronically while also getting updates on the availability of charging points. Details on pricing will be disclosed closer to the end of the year, when SP Group sets up its first 30 charging points. These will be a mix of the alternating current and direct current types. There were 592 electric and plugin hybrid cars on the road here as at the end of last month, about 0.1 per cent of the total car population of 613,383. There are also 31 electricpowered goods and commercial vehicles. “There is a chicken-and-egg conundrum when it comes to electric vehicle adoption... Many prospective drivers are concerned about the lack of a pervasive charging network,” said Mr Goh Chee Kiong, head of strategic development at SP Group. He added that some have “range anxiety” – the fear that the electric vehicle will run out of battery in the middle of a journey. Owners tend to install their own GETTING MORE ON BOARD There is a chicken-and-egg conundrum when it comes to electric vehicle adoption...

There are 30 condos with charging points. There will be more public choices available down the road. Charging infrastructure specialist Greenlots operates 16 publicly accessible charging stations, with aims to lift that to 50 by the end of this year. Electricity retailer Red Dot Power announced a partnership in February with PlugIT, a Finnish charging technology specialist, to install at least 50 charging stations by the end of next year. BlueSG, which runs an electric vehicle-sharing programme, aims to build 2,000 charging points by 2020, and make 400 of them available to the public. While electric vehicles are generally more costly than a comparable combustion engine car, Mr Siew said this will change as battery prices drop over the next few years due to mass production and economies of scale. “Electric vehicles will be cost competitive with normal cars,” he added. Dr Sanjay Kuttan, programme director of Nanyang Technological University’s Energy Research Institute, said the SP Group’s initiative should help to spur the adoption of electric vehicles, but the charging points must be well distributed and accessible. While there will be a combined 1,000 public charging points by 2020 – which could support between 2,000 and 10,000 vehicles – there must also be “one common consolidated payment system, across all infrastructure” regardless of which firm owns the points, Dr Kuttan added. adrianl@sph.com.sg SP Group plans to place the charging points for electric vehicles in locations such as housing estates, shopping malls, industrial sites and business parks.

Langkah itu bertepatan dengan langkah syarikat pengangkutan sewa swasta, Grab, memanfaatkan kemudahan tersebut untuk mengecas kereta-kereta elektriknya. Kesemua 38 tempat pengecasan – 19 alat pengecas yang mempunyai arus berubah arah (AC) sebanyak 43 kilowatt dan 19 alat pengecas 50 kilowatt langsung (DC) – merupakan pengecas berkelajuan tinggi yang mampu menambah kuasa pada kereta elektrik bersaiz sederhana dalam masa sejam, berbanding enam hingga lapan jam menggunakan pengecas dalam rumah. Dalam kenyataannya, SP berkata tempat pengecasan itu terletak di lapan lokasi serata Singapura, berhampiran dengan pusat makanan, agar pemandu boleh berehat ketika kereta mereka sedang dicas. Tempat pengecasan tersebut adalah yang pertama daripada 1,000 tempat pengecasan yang SP ingin lancarkan menjelang 2020. Pengguna boleh mencari dan mengakses tempat mengecas yang disediakan melalui aplikasi SP. Ia boleh dimuat turun di iTunes App Store dan Google Play. Aplikasi tersebut turut mempunyai fungsi yang memaklumkan pengguna apabila pengecasan selesai. Ia juga membolehkan pengguna membuat pembayaran menerusi kad DBS dan POSB. Kad dari semua bank utama akan disertakan tidak lama lagi, kata SP. Sistem AC dapat mengecas kereta bersaiz sederhana dalam masa 45 hingga 60 minit, manakala pengecas DC dapat melakukannya dalam masa sekitar setengah jam. SP berkata ia merancang mahu memperkenalkan pengecas berkuasa 350 kilowatt “dalam beberapa tahun mendatang”. Pengecas tersebut dapat mengecas kereta berprestasi tinggi dalam kira-kira 15 minit. Ketika ini, pengguna perlu membayar 41.4 sen bagi setiap kilowatt jika mereka menggunakan pengecas AC dan 47.3 sen setiap kilowatt bagi pengecas DC. Mengikut kadar ini, SP berkata pemandu kereta elektrik boleh menjimat sekurang-kurangnya 50 peratus berbanding mereka yang memandu model setanding yang menggunakan petrol. Namun, akhbar The Straits Times difahamkan bahawa Grab akan memberi diskaun kepada para pemandu elektriknya. Syarikat tersebut dijangka menerima 20 kereta Hyundai Kona Electric bulan ini. Kereta ini – yang boleh memandu sejauh 400 kilometer jika dicas sehingga penuh – adalah sebahagian daripada 200 kereta yang telah dipesan Grab. Ogos lalu, syarikat pengangkutan itu telah membuat pengumuman bahawa ia bakal memperkenalkan kereta tersebut sebagai sebahagian daripada perkongsian dengan SP Group. Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (CEO) Kumpulan SP, Encik Wong Kim Yin, berkata rangkaian pengecasan SP akan “menggalak penggunaan mobiliti hijau yang lebih meluas di Singapura, dan membolehkan pemandu untuk berjimat”.

SP Group Partners Hyundai Motor Group to Accelerate Adoption of Electric Vehicles in Singaporehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-Partners-Hyundai-Motor-Group-to-Accelerate-Adoption-of-Electric-Vehicles-in-Singapore News Release SP Group Partners Hyundai Motor Group to Accelerate Adoption of Electric Vehicles in Singapore First Battery-as-a-Service concept in Southeast Asia Singapore & Seoul, 12 November 2020 – SP Group (SP) and Hyundai Motor Group (Hyundai) today announced that they have signed a Business Cooperation Agreement (BCA) to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EV) in Singapore. SP, which operates Singapore’s largest high-speed charging network, will partner with Hyundai to jointly develop a new business model for battery leasing, or Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) – a first in Southeast Asia – where EV users lease the car battery instead of owning it. Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer, SP Group, said: “SP has the largest fast EV charging network in Singapore and we are progressively expanding it to establish a highly pervasive and reliable network in order to encourage EV adoption. Through this partnership with Hyundai, we are making low-carbon mobility solutions more accessible to vehicle owners. EVs are a key pillar in SP’s strategy to introduce more low-carbon, smart energy solutions to help achieve Singapore’s sustainability goals.” “For the success of innovation activities through the Hyundai Motor Group's Singapore Global Innovation Center (HMGICS), cooperation with competent local partners like SP Group is important,” said Hongbum Jung, Senior Vice President of Hyundai Motor Group. “We will strengthen cooperation with various local partners starting with this cooperation.” In October 2020, Hyundai announced the establishment of an open innovation base through a groundbreaking ceremony for the HMGICS. Hyundai will step up efforts to expand the supply of electric vehicles in Singapore in cooperation with SP, which is expanding its network of charging infrastructure. Meanwhile, Hyundai is working closely with local universities, startups, and research institutes to build an innovative ecosystem in Singapore, including Nanyang Technological University for industry-academic cooperation in smart city and future new business areas, and PSA Cargo Solutions for the establishment of automatic logistics services. -Ends- About SP Group SP Group is a leading utilities group in the Asia Pacific, enabling a low-carbon, smart energy future for its customers.

[20201113] Straits Times - Higher rebates, surcharges to cut vehicle emissions from next yearhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:cdb796c3-b029-4dbe-a0c0-8a023522f3c5 Higher rebates, surcharges to cut vehicle emissions from next year Clement Yong Rebates on the purchase of cleaner cars will be increased by $5,000 from Jan 1 next year to Dec 31, 2022, under the Vehicular Emissions Scheme (VES). Cleaner taxis will have their rebates increased by $7,500 in the same time period, under the programme aimed at nudging motorists towards more environmentally friendly models of private transport. In the carrot-and-stick model, surcharges for more pollutive vehicles will also be increased – by $5,000 for cars and $7,500 for taxis. This will kick in on July 1 next year instead of at the start of the year to allow time for the market to adjust, and will be in effect until Dec 31, 2022, the National Environment Agency (NEA) and Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a joint statement yesterday. The increased rebates and surcharges mean buyers of cleaner cars will be awarded with rebates of up to $25,000, up from the previous $20,000, while buyers of the most pollutive cars will be penalised by $25,000, also up from $20,000. The VES was introduced in 2018 to reduce carbon emissions on Singapore’s roads. It categorises vehicles based on emissions across five pollutants, with each category’s rebate or surcharge calibrated accordingly. NEA and LTA said the scheme has been effective in encouraging the purchase of cleaner car models, with the number of new cars that qualify for the cleanest two bands increasing by 60 per cent between the third quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of this year. The number of those in the most pollutive two bands has fallen by around 20 per cent in the same time period. Singapore University of Social Sciences associate professor of economics Walter Theseira said the VES rebates and surcharges could push motorists towards the adoption of cleaner cars in two ways. As motor car dealers usually quote a price inclusive of all taxes and certificate of entitlement bidding, a portion of the discounts usually goes to car buyers, while another could go to the dealers. This means that in addition to consumers getting a discount, the VES changes could also encourage car dealers to import cleaner models. Cleaner cars include the Hyundai Kona Electric, Renault Zoe and Toyota Prius Plus, while more pollutive cars are those like the Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 CVT, Mazda CX-5 2.5 AT and Porsche Cayenne E3. The enhanced VES is also a boon for aspiring electric car buyers, whose car models often fall under the cleanest bands. Together with the early adoption incentive scheme for electric vehicle buyers announced by LTA in February – which offers rebates capped at $20,000 per vehicle – the increased rebates under the VES will allow for savings of up to $45,000 for each new fully electric car. However, Associate Professor Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung beside a BlueSG electric vehicle (EV). He said the authorities are reviewing the plan to increase the number of EV-charging points to see if commercial parties could be roped in. PHOTO: ONG YE KUNG/FACEBOOK Theseira noted that there are additional factors to consider with regard to electric vehicles. “The number of electric vehicle models is still very limited compared with that of internal combustion engines. Electric vehicles also require the owner to have available charging. I think until these two are solved, the VES change will have minimal effect,” he said. Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung said yesterday that industry watchers believe that costs for motorists choosing between electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles will equalise by around 2025, or earlier. Electric models are now still generally more expensive, and there were only 1,125 electric cars on the road as at January. SP, Hyundai to boost usage of electric vehicles SP Group and Hyundai Motor Group signed an agreement yesterday to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in Singapore. The Temasek investment fund-owned group and the South Korean automotive manufacturer will work together on various initiatives, including the expansion of Singapore’s electric vehicle-charging infrastructure to make owning an electric car more convenient for motorists. They will also jointly develop a new business model for battery leasing, which will allow electric vehicle users to lease the car battery instead of owning it. It will be the first such exploration in South-east Asia. “SP and Hyundai aim to lower the initial cost of purchasing electric vehicles, enhance the accessibility of charging points and build an ecosystem of innovative solutions that can encourage the adoption of electric vehicles in Singapore,” the two groups said in a press statement. Mr Ong referred to Singapore’s electric vehicle-charging infrastructure, which has been cited as a potential bottleneck by industry watchers who believe the lack of chargers could stop Singapore’s electric dreams in its tracks. Singapore currently has 1,800 charging points and is planning to increase this to 28,000 by 2030. Mr Ong repeated what he said in SP’s group chief executive officer Stanley Huang said electric vehicles constitute a key pillar in SP’s strategy to help Singapore achieve its sustainability goals. Singapore aims for the last internal combustion engine car to be sold in 2030 and wants to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles by 2040. Hyundai Motor Group’s senior vice-president Jung Hong-bum said the group will continue to strengthen its cooperation with various local partners, beginning with this partnership with SP group. It is currently working closely with local universities such as Nanyang Technological University, start-ups and research institutes to create smart city solutions and brainstorm new future business areas. There are currently about 1,800 charging points in Singapore. The aim is to have more than 28,000 by 2030. Clement Yong Parliament last month – that the authorities are reviewing this plan to see if it could be made more ambitious by roping in commercial parties. “What is clear is that EVs (electric vehicles) will become a reality, but we need to embrace and promote it,” he said. clementy@sph.com.sg [20180620] The Straits Times - SP Group to build 500 charging points for electric cars by 2020https://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:9b6dd759-8cbe-4db7-bc1f-15b4e3108ef5 SP Group to build 500 charging points for electric cars by 2020 It says its network will be largest one fully accessible to public, with first 30 set up by year end Adrian Lim Transport Correspondent Energy utilities provider SP Group plans to build 500 charging points for electric vehicles islandwide by 2020. The points will be placed at housing estates, shopping malls, industrial sites and business parks, the firm announced yesterday. While others such as Greenlots, Red Dot Power and BlueSG are already in the market, SP Group said its network will be the largest one fully accessible to the public. More than 100 of the charging points will be of the direct current type with a 50 kilowatt power rating that can fully charge a vehicle in as little as 30 minutes. SP Group said there are fewer than five direct current charging points here now. Most points use alternating current, and a lower 7.4kw rating, which takes the car about seven times longer to be fully charged. An app will allow motorists to pay for charging electronically while also getting updates on the availability of charging points. Details on pricing will be disclosed closer to the end of the year, when SP Group sets up its first 30 charging points. These will be a mix of the alternating current and direct current types. There were 592 electric and plugin hybrid cars on the road here as at the end of last month, about 0.1 per cent of the total car population of 613,383. There are also 31 electricpowered goods and commercial vehicles. “There is a chicken-and-egg conundrum when it comes to electric vehicle adoption... Many prospective drivers are concerned about the lack of a pervasive charging network,” said Mr Goh Chee Kiong, head of strategic development at SP Group. He added that some have “range anxiety” – the fear that the electric vehicle will run out of battery in the middle of a journey. Owners tend to install their own GETTING MORE ON BOARD There is a chicken-and-egg conundrum when it comes to electric vehicle adoption...

There are 30 condos with charging points. There will be more public choices available down the road. Charging infrastructure specialist Greenlots operates 16 publicly accessible charging stations, with aims to lift that to 50 by the end of this year. Electricity retailer Red Dot Power announced a partnership in February with PlugIT, a Finnish charging technology specialist, to install at least 50 charging stations by the end of next year. BlueSG, which runs an electric vehicle-sharing programme, aims to build 2,000 charging points by 2020, and make 400 of them available to the public. While electric vehicles are generally more costly than a comparable combustion engine car, Mr Siew said this will change as battery prices drop over the next few years due to mass production and economies of scale. “Electric vehicles will be cost competitive with normal cars,” he added. Dr Sanjay Kuttan, programme director of Nanyang Technological University’s Energy Research Institute, said the SP Group’s initiative should help to spur the adoption of electric vehicles, but the charging points must be well distributed and accessible. While there will be a combined 1,000 public charging points by 2020 – which could support between 2,000 and 10,000 vehicles – there must also be “one common consolidated payment system, across all infrastructure” regardless of which firm owns the points, Dr Kuttan added. adrianl@sph.com.sg SP Group plans to place the charging points for electric vehicles in locations such as housing estates, shopping malls, industrial sites and business parks.

Schneider Electric Partners SP to Fully Electrify Service Vehicleshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Schneider-Electric-Partners-SP-To-Fully-Electrify-Service-Vehicles Media Release Schneider Electric Partners SP to Fully Electrify Service Vehicles Schneider Electric is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to use SP Group’s nationwide EV charging network Singapore, 2 January 2020 – Schneider Electric (SE) and SP Group (SP) today announced a partnership to fully electrify SE’s service fleet in Singapore. The agreement enables SE’s service vehicles to access SP’s nationwide network of electric vehicle (EV) charging points. SP will fully support SE’s charging needs for at least the next two years. SE has a total service fleet size of 25. Its intent is to convert 10 of its vehicles into EVs by June 2020 and fully electrify its fleet by 2021. This decision was made possible with the partnership with SP. Damien Dhellemmes, Country President of Schneider Electric Singapore elaborates: “Going green is a deliberate decision. After greening our regional headquarters in Singapore, our next step is to electrify our fleet. This is only possible if we have an accessible and wide enough charging network so that our service vehicles can be green and still serve our customers efficiently. SP’s nationwide network gives us the impetus to make this decision.” SP had earlier signed partnerships with Grab and HDT Singapore Taxi (HDT) to support the charging needs of their EV fleets. SE is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to be using SP’s nationwide EV charging network. This represents a growing trend of companies in Singapore electrifying their internal fleets to achieve environmental sustainability and cost savings. SP currently operates Singapore’s largest and fastest public EV charging network with more than 200 charging points across the island. It is targeting 1,000 EV charging points by end of 2020, of which 250 will be high-speed DC (direct current) chargers that can deliver a full charge in 30 minutes. Goh Chee Kiong, Head of Strategic Development, SP Group, said: “SP has built up deep capabilities in electric vehicle charging and usage over the years which we have harnessed for our nationwide public EV charging network. We are pleased to have Schneider Electric as our first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector and are confident this will provide a model for many other corporates to electrify their own fleet vehicles. SP’s pervasive EV charging network across Singapore will fully support their charging needs, providing drivers convenience and peace of mind.” About Schneider Electric At Schneider, we believe access to energy and digital is a basic human right.

[20190110] Berita Harian - SP Group Launches 38 Charging Points for Electric Vehicleshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:f278505f-b7f6-4258-8ebc-776e2a445a3c Berita Harian | Khamis, 10 Januari 2019 Berita SP Group lancar 38 tempat pengecas kenderaan elektrik MENGECAS KENDERAAN ELEKTRIK: Syarikat pembekal tenaga SP Group telah melancarkan kumpulan pertama tempat mengecas kenderaan elektrik. – Foto SPH SYARIKAT pembekal tenaga SP Group telah melancarkan kumpulan pertama tempat mengecas kenderaan elektrik. Langkah itu bertepatan dengan langkah syarikat pengangkutan sewa swasta, Grab, memanfaatkan kemudahan tersebut untuk mengecas kereta-kereta elektriknya. Kesemua 38 tempat pengecasan – 19 alat pengecas yang mempunyai arus berubah arah (AC) sebanyak 43 kilowatt dan 19 alat pengecas 50 kilowatt langsung (DC) – merupakan pengecas berkelajuan tinggi yang mampu menambah kuasa pada kereta elektrik bersaiz sederhana dalam masa sejam, berbanding enam hingga lapan jam menggunakan pengecas dalam rumah. Dalam kenyataannya, SP berkata tempat pengecasan itu terletak di lapan lokasi serata Singapura, berhampiran dengan pusat makanan, agar pemandu boleh berehat ketika kereta mereka sedang dicas. Tempat pengecasan tersebut adalah yang pertama daripada 1,000 tempat pengecasan yang SP ingin lancarkan menjelang 2020. Pengguna boleh mencari dan mengakses tempat mengecas yang disediakan melalui aplikasi SP. Ia boleh dimuat turun di iTunes App Store dan Google Play. Aplikasi tersebut turut mempunyai fungsi yang memaklumkan pengguna apabila pengecasan selesai. Ia juga membolehkan pengguna membuat pembayaran menerusi kad DBS dan POSB. Kad dari semua bank utama akan disertakan tidak lama lagi, kata SP. Sistem AC dapat mengecas kereta bersaiz sederhana dalam masa 45 hingga 60 minit, manakala pengecas DC dapat melakukannya dalam masa sekitar setengah jam. SP berkata ia merancang mahu memperkenalkan pengecas berkuasa 350 kilowatt “dalam beberapa tahun mendatang”. Pengecas tersebut dapat mengecas kereta berprestasi tinggi dalam kira-kira 15 minit. Ketika ini, pengguna perlu membayar 41.4 sen bagi setiap kilowatt jika mereka menggunakan pengecas AC dan 47.3 sen setiap kilowatt bagi pengecas DC. Mengikut kadar ini, SP berkata pemandu kereta elektrik boleh menjimat sekurang-kurangnya 50 peratus berbanding mereka yang memandu model setanding yang menggunakan petrol. Namun, akhbar The Straits Times difahamkan bahawa Grab akan memberi diskaun kepada para pemandu elektriknya. Syarikat tersebut dijangka menerima 20 kereta Hyundai Kona Electric bulan ini. Kereta ini – yang boleh memandu sejauh 400 kilometer jika dicas sehingga penuh – adalah sebahagian daripada 200 kereta yang telah dipesan Grab. Ogos lalu, syarikat pengangkutan itu telah membuat pengumuman bahawa ia bakal memperkenalkan kereta tersebut sebagai sebahagian daripada perkongsian dengan SP Group. Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (CEO) Kumpulan SP, Encik Wong Kim Yin, berkata rangkaian pengecasan SP akan “menggalak penggunaan mobiliti hijau yang lebih meluas di Singapura, dan membolehkan pemandu untuk berjimat”.

[20201113] Straits Times - Higher rebates, surcharges to cut vehicle emissions from next yearhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:cdb796c3-b029-4dbe-a0c0-8a023522f3c5 Higher rebates, surcharges to cut vehicle emissions from next year Clement Yong Rebates on the purchase of cleaner cars will be increased by $5,000 from Jan 1 next year to Dec 31, 2022, under the Vehicular Emissions Scheme (VES). Cleaner taxis will have their rebates increased by $7,500 in the same time period, under the programme aimed at nudging motorists towards more environmentally friendly models of private transport. In the carrot-and-stick model, surcharges for more pollutive vehicles will also be increased – by $5,000 for cars and $7,500 for taxis. This will kick in on July 1 next year instead of at the start of the year to allow time for the market to adjust, and will be in effect until Dec 31, 2022, the National Environment Agency (NEA) and Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a joint statement yesterday. The increased rebates and surcharges mean buyers of cleaner cars will be awarded with rebates of up to $25,000, up from the previous $20,000, while buyers of the most pollutive cars will be penalised by $25,000, also up from $20,000. The VES was introduced in 2018 to reduce carbon emissions on Singapore’s roads. It categorises vehicles based on emissions across five pollutants, with each category’s rebate or surcharge calibrated accordingly. NEA and LTA said the scheme has been effective in encouraging the purchase of cleaner car models, with the number of new cars that qualify for the cleanest two bands increasing by 60 per cent between the third quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of this year. The number of those in the most pollutive two bands has fallen by around 20 per cent in the same time period. Singapore University of Social Sciences associate professor of economics Walter Theseira said the VES rebates and surcharges could push motorists towards the adoption of cleaner cars in two ways. As motor car dealers usually quote a price inclusive of all taxes and certificate of entitlement bidding, a portion of the discounts usually goes to car buyers, while another could go to the dealers. This means that in addition to consumers getting a discount, the VES changes could also encourage car dealers to import cleaner models. Cleaner cars include the Hyundai Kona Electric, Renault Zoe and Toyota Prius Plus, while more pollutive cars are those like the Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 CVT, Mazda CX-5 2.5 AT and Porsche Cayenne E3. The enhanced VES is also a boon for aspiring electric car buyers, whose car models often fall under the cleanest bands. Together with the early adoption incentive scheme for electric vehicle buyers announced by LTA in February – which offers rebates capped at $20,000 per vehicle – the increased rebates under the VES will allow for savings of up to $45,000 for each new fully electric car. However, Associate Professor Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung beside a BlueSG electric vehicle (EV). He said the authorities are reviewing the plan to increase the number of EV-charging points to see if commercial parties could be roped in. PHOTO: ONG YE KUNG/FACEBOOK Theseira noted that there are additional factors to consider with regard to electric vehicles. “The number of electric vehicle models is still very limited compared with that of internal combustion engines. Electric vehicles also require the owner to have available charging. I think until these two are solved, the VES change will have minimal effect,” he said. Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung said yesterday that industry watchers believe that costs for motorists choosing between electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles will equalise by around 2025, or earlier. Electric models are now still generally more expensive, and there were only 1,125 electric cars on the road as at January. SP, Hyundai to boost usage of electric vehicles SP Group and Hyundai Motor Group signed an agreement yesterday to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in Singapore. The Temasek investment fund-owned group and the South Korean automotive manufacturer will work together on various initiatives, including the expansion of Singapore’s electric vehicle-charging infrastructure to make owning an electric car more convenient for motorists. They will also jointly develop a new business model for battery leasing, which will allow electric vehicle users to lease the car battery instead of owning it. It will be the first such exploration in South-east Asia. “SP and Hyundai aim to lower the initial cost of purchasing electric vehicles, enhance the accessibility of charging points and build an ecosystem of innovative solutions that can encourage the adoption of electric vehicles in Singapore,” the two groups said in a press statement. Mr Ong referred to Singapore’s electric vehicle-charging infrastructure, which has been cited as a potential bottleneck by industry watchers who believe the lack of chargers could stop Singapore’s electric dreams in its tracks. Singapore currently has 1,800 charging points and is planning to increase this to 28,000 by 2030. Mr Ong repeated what he said in SP’s group chief executive officer Stanley Huang said electric vehicles constitute a key pillar in SP’s strategy to help Singapore achieve its sustainability goals. Singapore aims for the last internal combustion engine car to be sold in 2030 and wants to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles by 2040. Hyundai Motor Group’s senior vice-president Jung Hong-bum said the group will continue to strengthen its cooperation with various local partners, beginning with this partnership with SP group. It is currently working closely with local universities such as Nanyang Technological University, start-ups and research institutes to create smart city solutions and brainstorm new future business areas. There are currently about 1,800 charging points in Singapore. The aim is to have more than 28,000 by 2030. Clement Yong Parliament last month – that the authorities are reviewing this plan to see if it could be made more ambitious by roping in commercial parties. “What is clear is that EVs (electric vehicles) will become a reality, but we need to embrace and promote it,” he said. clementy@sph.com.sg Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=electric-vehicles Search [20190110] Tamil Murasu - Charging Points for Electric Vehicleshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:13083dd3-5d8f-4798-b008-aff32ef063a1 ������� ���� ����� ������ �������� ���� ��� ��� �� ����� ���� ���� ������� ������, ���� ��� ���� ����� ���� �� (���) ��� ���� ���� ����. �� ������ ��� ��� ������ ���� 38 ����� ������ �� ������������. �����, 43 ���� ����� �� ����� ������ 19. ���� 50 ���� ��� �� �� ����� ������. ��� ����� ������ ��������� ���� ������������ ����� �� ������� ���� ������ ����� ����. ���� ������ ��� ����� ���������� 1,000 ����� ������� ���� ���������� 38 ������ �������� �������� ������. ��� ������ ���� ����� ��� ����. ���� ����� ���� ���� �� �� ������� ������ ��� ����. ���� ����� ����� ��������� ���� �� ��� ��� �� ��� ������. ��� ����� ������ ����� ����� ����� �� ����� ��������� ��� ������� ����� ������� ����. ���� ����������� ���� ��� ����� ������ ���. ������ ���� ���� ����� ������ ��� ���� ����� ��� ��� ���� ����. ��� ���� ������ ������� �������� ��� ���� ����� �������� ���� ���. �� ����� ���� �� ����� 45 ��� 60 ������ ����� ����, �� ����� ������ ���� ��� 30 ������ ����� ���� �� ���� ��. ���� �� ������ 350 ���� ����� �� Source: Tamil Murasu © Singapore Press Holdings Limited.

Schneider Electric Partners SP to Fully Electrify Service Vehicleshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Schneider-Electric-Partners-SP-To-Fully-Electrify-Service-Vehicles Media Release Schneider Electric Partners SP to Fully Electrify Service Vehicles Schneider Electric is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to use SP Group’s nationwide EV charging network Singapore, 2 January 2020 – Schneider Electric (SE) and SP Group (SP) today announced a partnership to fully electrify SE’s service fleet in Singapore. The agreement enables SE’s service vehicles to access SP’s nationwide network of electric vehicle (EV) charging points. SP will fully support SE’s charging needs for at least the next two years. SE has a total service fleet size of 25. Its intent is to convert 10 of its vehicles into EVs by June 2020 and fully electrify its fleet by 2021. This decision was made possible with the partnership with SP. Damien Dhellemmes, Country President of Schneider Electric Singapore elaborates: “Going green is a deliberate decision. After greening our regional headquarters in Singapore, our next step is to electrify our fleet. This is only possible if we have an accessible and wide enough charging network so that our service vehicles can be green and still serve our customers efficiently. SP’s nationwide network gives us the impetus to make this decision.” SP had earlier signed partnerships with Grab and HDT Singapore Taxi (HDT) to support the charging needs of their EV fleets. SE is the first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector to be using SP’s nationwide EV charging network. This represents a growing trend of companies in Singapore electrifying their internal fleets to achieve environmental sustainability and cost savings. SP currently operates Singapore’s largest and fastest public EV charging network with more than 200 charging points across the island. It is targeting 1,000 EV charging points by end of 2020, of which 250 will be high-speed DC (direct current) chargers that can deliver a full charge in 30 minutes. Goh Chee Kiong, Head of Strategic Development, SP Group, said: “SP has built up deep capabilities in electric vehicle charging and usage over the years which we have harnessed for our nationwide public EV charging network. We are pleased to have Schneider Electric as our first corporate partner outside of the public transport sector and are confident this will provide a model for many other corporates to electrify their own fleet vehicles. SP’s pervasive EV charging network across Singapore will fully support their charging needs, providing drivers convenience and peace of mind.” About Schneider Electric At Schneider, we believe access to energy and digital is a basic human right.

THE STRAITS TIMES BRANDED CONTENT ‘A good engineer likes to be challenged’: Mentor’s tough assignments sharpen skills of next generation Crucial technical knowledge to safeguard the nation’s power grid is passed down under a mentorship programme by SP Group SP Group's mentorship programme allows engineering veterans such as Mr Chua Khim Mong (top) to share their wealth of knowledge with the next generation of talent like Mr Chung Der Chyuan. PHOTO: SP GROUP PUBLISHED AUG 28, 2023, 4:00 AM SGT On any given day, Mr Chua Khim Mong would pose a hypothetical engineering problem in a group chat, challenging his team of technical officers and technicians to solve it. Mr Chua also leads weekly learning sessions and routinely assigns reading lists. No, Mr Chua is not a teacher – the 57-year-old is a senior principal engineer at SP Group. While his day job is to make sure Singapore’s national grid runs efficiently and seamlessly, he is also known as a no-nonsense mentor with close to 40 years of experience in the field. Mr Chung Der Chyuan, a principal engineer with SP Group and one of Mr Chua’s mentees, says that he has benefitted from the mentorship programme. “Mr Chua is very approachable and straightforward. He will explain his view and then let me figure out the details while keeping a watchful eye,” he shares. Today, both mentor and mentee collaborate to share their knowledge with colleagues, such as writing articles as part of a technical experts forum. Unseen heroes who pre-empt problems Mr Chua and his team are known as protection engineers and play an essential part in keeping Singapore’s lights on. Thanks to their work of monitoring and troubleshooting over 12,000 substations and 28,000 kilometres of electricity cables located across the island, Singapore’s ubiquitous power grid is world-leading in its reliability. While SP Group has monitoring equipment and technology that automatically adjust and reroute power across the grid to address anomalies, engineers remain crucial in fine-tuning systems and analysing faults. “With more than 50,000 protective relays, we look out for problems that can occur when there are firmware or hardware revisions in the relay equipment,” explains Mr Chua. Maintaining such a complex yet well-functioning national grid is no small feat, requiring depth and breadth in engineering knowledge and skills. To ensure such know-how, accumulated through decades of experience, is preserved and passed down to the younger engineers, SP Group has implemented the Technical Expert Scheme, which is an in-house mentorship programme designed to ensure the continuity of in-depth industry knowledge. A “living manual” with 40 years of experience Mr Chua first joined the Public Utilities Board, the precursor to SP Group, nearly four decades ago when he was 19 years old. Starting out as an assistant technician, he helped engineers who were more senior than him carry out relay testing and maintenance. Having risen through the ranks from a technician to a senior engineer, Mr Chua is well-placed to mentor his junior team members, guiding them through difficult situations they may face in the course of their work. “When I was a junior technician, our manager assigned a senior engineer to share with me and explain protection systems: the characteristics of a good protection system and how to set up relays. The presentation really changed my understanding of electrical engineering.” With nearly four decades of experience under his belt, Mr Chua believes tough assignments can help his mentees stretch their capabilities and grow in their careers. PHOTO: SP GROUP Now, Mr Chua places a similar emphasis on educating and motivating his junior colleagues. On his approach to skills upgrading, he says, “A good engineer likes to be challenged. I would give my engineers tough assignments to push them in sharpening their skills, and encourage them to keep working on solving the problem rather than walk away.” “Many of my officers have expressed interest in pursuing a degree course. This is something that I am very, very proud of because it shows a deep culture of wanting to upgrade themselves,” shares Mr Chua, who himself completed an engineering degree under a scholarship from his organisation in 1995. This is also testimony to his efforts of encouraging a team learning culture. To officers who want to attain additional qualifications, he reminds them, “Revise your maths because it is the hardest part of the course. After all, maths is a big part of an engineer’s job.” Mr Chua recounts one instance where he patiently allowed a junior team member to present his findings in a sharing session even though he had already spotted a miscalculation. “Rather than correcting him at the start, I want him to learn from his mistake and share the learning with his peers. “We remember and learn better through our mistakes,” Mr Chua explains. Often, his mentees would come to him for advice when they encounter complex situations on the job. “Most of the time, I already have the answer to their question. But I would send them off to come up with their proposed hypothesis and test method. This way, we can have two-way discussions and uncover new insights which can be applied in other situations,” he adds. He would also assign engineers technical papers to read so that they keep up with the latest trends and developments, before hearing their views on potential applications. Mr Chua pays close attention to the work of his juniors and always welcomes questions. “I tell them to never be afraid of asking seemingly silly questions. The most valuable lessons are learned from questioning and probing,” shares Mr Chua. In the spirit of learning from one another, Mr Chua has implemented surprise tests and weekly sharing sessions. “Once a week, we are all in the office to share interesting experiences or findings. Even the simplest finding or experience can be valuable to another. Everyone can benefit, including myself, regardless of rank or age.” “At the end of the day, the goal is to solve engineering problems more efficiently. But when possible, I will let my technical officers or engineers do things the hard way so that they get to learn more from the problem-solving process,” adds Mr Chua. As Singapore seeks to transition to a low-carbon future and tackle climate change, Singapore’s grid will be upgraded with new technologies to provide for developments like electric vehicle charging and more extensive deployment of solar panels. Technical experts like Mr Chua are key in helping the next generation of talent to keep abreast of change and new opportunities, and hone relevant skills and expertise.
