Media Release Electricity Tariff Revision for the Period 1 April to 30 June 2024 Singapore, 28 March 2024 – For the period from 1 April to 30 June 2024, the electricity tariff (before GST) for households will decrease by 0.3% or 0.10 cent per kWh compared with the previous quarter due to lower energy costs. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in HDB four-room flats will decrease by $0.33 (before GST). *before GST Electricity tariffs (before GST), including tariffs for non-households, will decrease by an average of 0.4% or 0.12 cent per kWh compared with the previous quarter. SP Group reviews the electricity tariffs every quarter based on guidelines set by the electricity industry regulator, Energy Market Authority (EMA). Please refer to Appendix 1 for the components of the electricity tariff, Appendix 2 for the tariffs approved by EMA, and Appendix 3 for the average monthly electricity bills for households. Appendix 1 BREAKDOWN OF ELECTRICITY TARIFF The electricity tariff consists of the following four components: Energy costs (paid to the generation companies): This component is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the cost of fuel and power generation. The fuel cost is the cost of imported natural gas, which is tied to oil prices by commercial contracts. The cost of power generation covers mainly the costs of operating the power stations, such as the manpower and maintenance costs, as well as the capital cost of the stations. Network costs (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the cost of transporting electricity through the power grid. Market Support Services Fee (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the costs of billing and meter reading, data management, retail market systems as well as market development initiatives. Market Administration and Power System Operation Fee (paid to Energy Market Company and Power System Operator): This fee is reviewed annually to recover the costs of operating the electricity wholesale market and power system.   Q2 2024 TARIFF FOR HOUSEHOLDS (before 9% GST) Appendix 2 ELECTRICITY TARIFFS FROM 1 APRIL 2024 Appendix 3 AVERAGE MONTHLY ELECTRICITY BILLS FOR HOUSEHOLDS TARIFF WEF 1 APRIL 2024 (before GST)

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Electricity’s First Responders RELIABILITY SP Group’s Principal Engineer Jerome Choong is one of the first at the scene should an electricity disruption happen. Five-year-old Jovan thinks his father Jerome Choong, an SP Group Principal Engineer, is a cross between an electrician and a magician. “He thinks that when people have no electricity, they call me, and I make it appear,” laughs the 35-year-old, who takes care of the electricity distribution network in the north zone, which spans the area stretching from Boon Lay to Punggol. “Jovan used to get annoyed when I left abruptly during family gatherings. Now, he is proud of what I do,” says Jerome who also has a two-year-old son. Principal Engineer Jerome Choong (right) and son Jovan Jerome has been with SP for seven years and leads a unit of 30. He is one of the first on site when an outage happens. His priority is to work with his unit to quickly and safely get supply back up. While prevention is key and every effort is made to keep trouble at bay, it is important to be prepared for the unexpected. It helps the team spring into action without delay should something happen. His car boot is testimony to his commitment – half holds a stroller for his two-year-old, and the other half, the tools he needs, from cable insulation testing equipment to multi-meters. His iPad stores documents, schematic drawings and operations manuals. His network of fellow engineers is a Whatsapp message away. Always on the alert, Jerome forms his recovery plan as he drives to the site where an incident has occurred, helped by information on the location, number of customers affected, and the substations and breakers he should zoom in on. This is provided by the Electricity Service Centre and Distribution Control Centre, which he works closely with. Principal Engineer Jerome Choong checking on switchgears in a substation. For every incident, he and his colleagues investigate what went down, isolate and test the equipment, and start on repairs or replacements. “We explore every what-if scenario,” Jerome says, “and have back-ups to the back-up plans.” While the control centre can remotely resolve some issues, manual intervention by Jerome’s team is sometimes required, and checks are always done before supply sources are switched to ensure safety. Replacement parts are also tested before being connected and energised. Only then is the power transferred back on to customers. Work does not end when an issue is resolved, and even a late-night activation often sees him back on duty the next morning. In the day, Jerome oversees the maintenance of the switchgears and transformers of the high-voltage network. He also regularly engages commercial and industrial customers with higher electricity consumption requirements. The job keeps him on his toes, he says, as does the need to evolve with his role. The rise of renewables, for one, has meant having to integrate non-traditional sources of electricity onto the grid. “I love solving problems, and we seldom encounter two situations that are exactly the same. We’re constantly learning, and re-learning. That’s what keeps the job interesting.” (From left) Principal Engineer Jerome Choong with Service Technicians Hasly Bin Hashim and Mohammad Iskandar bin Sapari attending to an incident at an affected substation.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Mobile Generators: Powering Continuity RELIABILITY Mohamed Nasir bin Mohamed Ismail, Technical Officer, Electricity Operations (center) together with Ismet Imran bin Chuma'ing, Senior Technician, Electricity Operations (left) and Mohammad Najib bin Jalil, Technical Officer, Electricity Operations (right) from SP Group's Mobile Generator Unit. When an electrical glitch hit Kian Teck Avenue in Jurong last month, a team from SP Group’s Mobile Generator Unit was charged and ready to roll. In minutes, a mobile generator mounted on a 30-ft trailer left a facility in Pasir Panjang for the site of the incident. The generator carried some 2,000 litres of diesel, enough to power up a housing estate for around eight hours, and up to 40 metres of cable to hook up to a low-voltage (LV) board, which distributes electricity. “We need to always be prepared to provide temporary power,” says Mr Mohamed Nasir bin Mohamed Ismail, 42, a technical officer who is part of the unit. Readiness is key for the Mobile Generator Unit. This begins at 7.30am with a daily “warm up”, conducted by the 10 men on the morning shift. During the one-hour ritual, all the operational mobile generators – the larger ones mounted on fourteen 30-ft trailers, and the smaller ones on seven 20-ft lorries – are started and tested to ensure they are ready to be deployed. The team members also conduct cable insulation tests and checks on their toolboxes and personal protection gear. This enables them to act swiftly and safely, in the event of an electricity disruption. The men, who work on three shifts round the clock, are deployed by SP Group’s Electricity Service Centre in teams of three – a leader, an assistant, and a driver. Mr Nasir, the leader of his team, has been with SP for 21 years, joining right after he completed his National Service in 1998. He studied mechanical engineering at the ITE and plays the role of synchroniser, ensuring that the voltage and frequency of the mobile generator matches that of the grid network. Mr Nasir, who has both a Class 4 and Class 5 driving license, doubles up as a driver, and says navigating these massive vehicles is an exercise that requires both practice and courage. The trailer-mounted mobile generators cannot travel through tunnels, including those on expressways like the MCE, CTE or KPE. The 60km/h speed limit also keeps them in the slowest lanes most of the time. The trailer-mounted generators are part of a fleet of 22 vehicles of different sizes and capacities used for power restoration. “You need to know the quickest alternative route around traffic or restrictions. Outage in Ang Mo Kio and leaving from Pasir Panjang? Alexandra, Farrer, Adam, Braddell, then join the CTE after the tunnel,” Mr Nasir rattles off. The narrow roads in some estates and parked vehicles can also pose problems for the 13 metres by 2.6 metres by 4.3 metres trailers, and it is up to the two men with the driver to recce for a spot to hunker down – which must also be close enough to an electrical room to hook up. While Singapore enjoys one of the lowest occurrences of outages in the world, it is gratifying to be a part of a team that helps “get the lights back on" if supply is disrupted, Mr Nasir says. “We are usually greeted by frustrated faces when we arrive, so seeing them happy again makes us very happy,” he quipped. — 1 May 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

6 Berita Harian | Isnin, 29 April 2024 Kursus pertingkat ilmu, kemahiran pekerja dalam operasi loji kuasa EKONOMI ▶ IRMA KAMARUDIN irmak@sph.com.sg Sebagai kakitangan baru dengan pengalaman kurang setahun di Senoko Energy, tugas mengendalikan loji kuasa dan menangani masalah yang mungkin timbul boleh menjadi sesuatu yang agak mencabar bagi Encik Muhammad Anas Ariffin. Namun, pengetahuan pegawai teknikal dalam mengendalikan loji kuasa yang menjana elektrik itu kini dipertingkat setelah beliau melalui kursus operasi loji kuasa dan kawalan proses. Apa yang membuat kursus itu lebih menarik adalah ia turut merangkumi latihan simulator, yang membolehkan pelatih belajar cara menangani senario yang jarang berlaku dalam sektor kuasa, seperti apa yang perlu dilakukan sekiranya loji kuasa mengalami penutupan. “Ia memberi saya peluang mempunyai pengalaman amali dengan sistem operasi. Kursus ini juga membolehkan saya menangani dengan lebih baik pelbagai senario yang kami tidak selalunya hadapi dalam operasi sebenar. “Oleh itu, ia membantu kami menjadi lebih bersedia dan memberikan kami keyakinan menangani sebarang situasi,” kata beliau, yang berusia 31 tahun. Seorang lagi peserta kursus yang sama, Encik Mohamed Shafiq Abdul Rashid, pula menambah latihan simulator itu mengajar beliau tindakan yang perlu diambil dalam pelbagai situasi dan cara memperbetulkan keadaan yang boleh berlaku di tempat kerja. “Ini bahagian kursus yang paling berharga kerana tidak selalunya masalah sistem yang mencabar berlaku. “Untuk dianggap sebagai seorang operator pengalaman, seseorang itu perlu mempunyai pengalaman 10 tahun atau lebih sebagai operator dan telah menghadapi kebanyakan masalah sistem,” kata pegawai teknikal (operasi dan kecekapan) di Tuas Power Generation berusia 31 tahun itu. Baru-baru ini, Institut Kuasa dan Gas Singapura (SIPG) telah melancarkan Simulator Loji Kuasa Berpusat (CPPS) yang pertama di Singapura, yang membolehkan program latihan operasi dijadikan lebih berstruktur dan standard bagi pekerja syarikat dalam sektor penjanaan kuasa. Sebanyak enam kursus yang disepadukan dengan latihan CPPS telah dibangunkan bersama oleh SIPG dan syarikat penjanaan kuasa merangkumi Keppel Merlimau Cogen O&M, PacificLight Power, Sembcorp Cogen, Senoko Energy, Tuas Power dan YTL PowerSeraya. Program latihan tersebut menetapkan standard yang konsisten bagi latihan kemahiran, seperti dalam operasi loji kuasa, kawalan proses dan pengurusan penggera serta kerosakan peralatan dalam sekitaran dikawal yang berbeza daripada operasi harian. Sebagai sebahagian pelancaran CPPS, SIPG juga memperkenalkan program latihan berstruktur merangkumi dua Program Sijil Penjanaan Kuasa baru, dengan sijil diiktiraf oleh semua syarikat penjanaan kuasa. Sijil itu akan diberikan kepada peserta setelah mereka selesai menjalani kursus CPPS serta kursus berkaitan penjanaan kuasa lain yang ditawarkan SIPG. Sebagai pegawai teknikal di Senoko Energy, tugas Encik Anas termasuk memastikan loji kuasa beroperasi dengan lancar dan melakukan pemeriksaan rutin. Melalui latihan yang dijalani, beliau berkata antara cabaran terbesar adalah untuk menangani senario yang tidak pernah dilaluinya sebelum ini. Antaranya adalah situasi apabila peralatan didapati rosak dan mereka perlu belajar apa yang perlu dilakukan untuk menyelesaikan masalah sebelum seluruh loji kuasa terganggu. “Meskipun masih banyak lagi yang saya perlu belajar, saya rasa lebih yakin dalam menangani situasi dan senario yang berbeza (melalui latihan yang dijalani). Encik Muhammad Anas Ariffin (kanan) dan Encik Mohamed Shafiq Abdul Rashid, berpeluang mempertingkat pengetahuan dan kemahiran mereka setelah menjalani kursus operasi loji kuasa dan kawalan proses yang dibangunkan bersama oleh Institut Kuasa dan Gas Singapura (SIPG) dan syarikat penjanaan kuasa di sini. – Foto BH oleh NUR DIYANA TAHA “Saya juga dapat lebih memahami rasional di sebalik seting tertentu dalam loji kuasa dengan mencuba seting yang berbeza dalam simulator untuk melihat akibat dan hasilnya. “Percubaan dan kesilapan sedemikian adalah satu ‘kemewahan’ yang kita tidak boleh lakukan dalam operasi loji sebenar,” kata beliau. Encik Shafiq, yang telah bekerja dengan Tuas Power Generation lebih tiga tahun, pula berkongsi bahawa antara cabaran yang dihadapinya adalah untuk menyesuaikan diri dengan penggunaan simulator, memandangkan setiap syarikat penjanaan kuasa mempunyai sistem kawalan loji yang berbeza. Tugas beliau sebagai pegawai teknikal termasuk meneliti sebarang keluarbiasaan dalam sistem kawalan loji dan di loji kuasa itu sendiri dan mengenal pasti sebarang kerosakan peralatan yang menjejas kecekapan loji. “Antara perbezaan termasuk beberapa persediaan sistem loji, seperti menukar halaman berbeza pada simulator, mengakses dan mengawal peralatan loji dan mengemudi input gerbang logik berbeza (alat elektronik yang digunakan dalam kawalan dan pemantauan sistem) ke dalam sistem. “Dengan latihan cukup yang diberikan jurulatih, saya dapat membiasakan diri dalam tempoh yang singkat,” kata beliau. Encik Shafiq berharap dapat menyertai kursus peringkat lanjutan pada masa depan untuk terus mempertingkat pengetahuan teknikal beliau. “Saya mahu mempersiapkan diri saya dengan lebih baik untuk masa depan saya dalam industri penjanaan kuasa, lebih-lebih lagi dengan kemajuan teknologi akan datang,” kata beliau. “ Ia memberi saya peluang mempunyai pengalaman amali dengan sistem operasi. Kursus ini juga membolehkan saya menangani dengan lebih baik pelbagai senario yang kami tidak selalunya hadapi dalam operasi sebenar. Oleh itu, ia membantu kami menjadi lebih bersedia dan memberikan kami keyakinan menangani sebarang situasi.” – Encik Muhammad Anas Ariffin, pegawai teknikal di Senoko Energy.
