SP Group labur $30j dalam inisiatif penyelidikan dan pendidikan bersama NTU PENGENDALI grid elektrik nasional SP Group telah mengetepikan $20 juta untuk melancarkan makmal bersama dengan Universiti Teknologi Nanyang (NTU) dan memberi sumbangan $10 juta untuk menubuhkan dua dana endowmen. Makmal itu, yang terletak di NTU, akan memberi tumpuan kepada projek berkaitan tenaga dalam bidang urusan aset dan operasi rangkaian. Apabila siap pada 2021, makmal itu akan menempatkan 60 penyelidik, 85 mahasiswa dan pelajar possiswazah, dan berperanan sebagai platform latihan bagi jurutera SP Group. Kolaborasi $30 juta itu akan “mempertingkat daya tahan rangkaian elektrik Singapura, mempertingkat keandalannya dan keberkesanan bekalan elektrik dibekalkan kepada pengguna dan memupuk pakar bagi sektor tenaga,” kata SP Group dan NTU dalam kenyataan bersama semalam. Satu dana endowmen itu, Dana Jawatan Profesor SP Group, akan memberi sokongan kepada dua anggota fakulti cemerlang dalam penyelidikan dan biasiswa. Dana kedua bertujuan memberi sokongan kepada saintis dan jurutera penyelidikan pada awal kerjaya mereka dalam bidang tenaga dan sistem kuasa. Penerima kededua dana akan memberi sumbangan kepada penyelidikan yang dilakukan di makmal itu, kata kenyataan itu. Menteri Kedua Perdagangan dan Perusahaan Dr Tan See Leng berkata: “Singapura mempunyai antara rangkaian elektrik yang paling andal di dunia. Kita perlu terus membangun dan mempertingkat keupayaan setempat bagi persediaan masa depan. “Kerjasama antara NTU dan SP Group ini akan memberi rangsangan kepada daya tahan rangkaian kita dan membangun huraian inovatif yang boleh memenuhi keperluan tenaga di masa depan,” kata Dr Tan. Makmal baru itu akan diperlengkapkan dengan teknologi kecerdasan buatan dan pembelajaran mesin supaya penyelidik boleh menganalisis dan memantau aset SP Group dalam masa sebenar. Ini membolehkan mereka meramalkan masalah yang boleh dihadapi rangkaian itu di masa hadapan, sebelum ia berlaku. Buat masa ini, teknik pemantauan yang ada hanya boleh dilaksanakan pada skala lebih kecil dalam rangkaian penyaluran tenaga, tetapi makmal baru itu membenarkan SP Group dan penyelidik NTU untuk membuat rekaan dan membangun sistem berkesan dari segi kos dan yang boleh diperluas menggunakan teknologi.

Media Release Electricity Tariff Revision for the Period 1 July to 30 September 2022 Singapore, 30 June 2022 – For the period from 1 July to 30 September 2022, electricity tariff (before 7% GST) will increase by an average of 8.1% or 2.21 cents per kWh compared with the previous quarter. The increase is mainly due to higher energy cost driven by rising global gas and oil prices exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine. For details on the components of the electricity tariff, please refer to Appendix 1: Breakdown of Electricity Tariff. For households, the electricity tariff (before 7% GST) will increase from 27.94 to 30.17 cents per kWh for 1 July to 30 September 2022. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in HDB four-room flats will increase by $8.25 (before 7% GST) (Appendix 3: Average monthly electricity bills of domestic consumers). *before 7% GST SP Group reviews the electricity tariffs every quarter based on guidelines set by the electricity industry regulator, Energy Market Authority (EMA). The tariffs shown in Appendix 2 have been approved by EMA. Appendix 1 BREAKDOWN OF ELECTRICITY TARIFF 1. 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.

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

Charges 4.1 Connection Policy The cost to connect a customer’s gas installation or gas fitting to the Transporter’s gas pipeline network varies from case-to-case, due to the proximity of the customer’s location and the cost of the materials and services required for the gas connection. Where possible, the Transporter will envisage to propose the most cost-effective connection to the applicant. 4.2 Connection Charge The connection charge payable for all gas connection applications is the sum of the project cost less the deductible cost, subject to a minimum connection charge of zero. The description of each of the cost components are shown below. (1) Project cost All costs related to the provision of gas connection from the Transporter’s gas pipeline network to the GSIV, including the Meter Installation (where applicable). (2) Deductible cost The Transporter’s investment value based on the committed gas demand from the applicant for the new gas connection. For distribution connections, the investment value is derived based on the net present value of the 5-Year revenue of the average consumption for each consumption category (see Appendix 8). For transmission connections, the connection charges are calculated individually on a case-bycase basis. In addition, a Last Mile Connection Charge (“LMCC”) will be levied to recover the cost of the “last mile” connection of the gas installation to the GSIV from the applicant. The natural gas transmission/distribution connection deductible cost, LMCC and unit rates used in the determination of the transmission/distribution pipeline estimated capital investment shall be reviewed and adjusted when deemed necessary by the Transporter. The Transporter reserves the right to review the connection charge paid for any new connection and seek reimbursement for the first 5 years under-recovered revenue from the Shipper/Retailer if the actual gas consumption after 5 years of operation is more than 10% below the projected gas demand declared during application. Natural Gas Connection Policy and Procedure Updated 1 Apr 24 Page 11 5. Unauthorised Connection and Supply of Gas In accordance with the Gas Act, any person who: • lays or causes to be laid gas pipe or fitting to connect to the gas network belonging to or managed by the Transporter without consent of the Transporter; • fraudulently abstracts, uses or consumes the supply of gas; • tempers any gas meter shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine or imprisonment, or both. The Transporter may disconnect the premises of, or the gas retailer may discontinue supply of gas to the premises of, the person.

2 | TOP STORIES The Business Times | Monday, August 12, 2019 Charging power still a chicken-and-egg gripe for electric fleets Private players moving into charging market amid relative paucity of charging points By Annabeth Leow leowhma@sph.com.sg @AnnabethLeowBT and Navin Sregantan navinsre@sph.com.sg @NavinSreBT Singapore DESPITE plans to drive pollutive petrol and diesel cars into history, electric vehicles (EVs) have still struggled to lose their training wheels. The relative paucity of charging points has been held up as a “critical gap” in Singapore’s electric road map. But, even as policymakers look at fleetwide electrification for larger transport companies, private players are moving into the charging market, with the state-owned SP Group leading in its target for charging stations. In a surprise Budget 2019 move, Singapore’s excise duty on diesel was doubled to S$0.20 a litre in February. But more charging points would spur investment in EVs, industry players said – the carrot to the tax hike’s stick. Bain had estimated in a recent report that South-east Asia’s annual investment in charging infrastructure would be US$500 million by 2030. SP Group, which is owned by state investment firm Temasek Holdings, now manages 50 of the country’s roughly 200 public charging points. It is gunning for 1,000 points by next year, including 250 fast-charging DC stations, which can charge a battery in half an hour. SP Group is not the sole provider of public charging points in the city state. Greenlots, owned by Shell since January, first began operations in Singapore in 2010. It runs 34 charging points across 23 spaces, with most in the central business district. Since May, Red Dot Power’s electric charging operations have been funnelled through sister company REVO Charge. It operates seven charging points, with plans to hit 50 points in public and private areas. And, as BlueSG marked its first anniversary in Singapore, the availability of public charging stations was given a boost with the electric car-sharing platform opening up 99 charging points across 25 locations. Meanwhile, Swiss industrial vendor ABB, which already provides the equipment used by SP Group, will supply charging infrastructure for the operators behind two-thirds of “One of the challenges in Singapore is the size of the market – which will limit the logic of having too many different networks competing with one another.” Bain partner Dale Hardcastle Singapore’s 60 electric buses in 2020. Jagwinder Singh, Singapore general manager of overland and distribution for Kuehne + Nagel, called islandwide charging availability “a key consideration” in the logistics multinational’s decision to roll out two light-duty Renault electric vans last year. But Goh Chee Kiong, head of strategic development at SP Group, noted that charging infrastructure – which the Bain report called a chicken-and-egg issue – now makes for “a critical gap, often expressed by prospective EV buyers in their considerations”. “One of the challenges in Singapore is the size of the market – which will limit the logic of having too many different networks competing with one another,” Bain partner Dale Hardcastle later told The Business Times. “It may be more logically and faster to have few networks set up by single parties of consortium to accelerate the pace of development.” Johan de Villiers, managing director for Singapore and South-east Asia at ABB, told BT that, as the sector evolves, “the need for collaboration is greater than ever”, as businesses like his will have to work with manufacturers and operators on issues such as technology standards. But Vijay Sirse, chief executive of REVO Charge, said operators are still trying to build up their own bases. “There are also technical challenges for roaming that must be addressed – for example, the harmonisation of different communication and data transfer technologies,” said Mr Sirse. “Another challenge is the safe and secure exchange of consumer usage data.” Tan Kong Hwee, executive director for mobility at the Economic Development Board (EDB), told BT that charging infrastructure providers must figure out the business case for their own solutions and services. “Thereafter, they could become the first movers in Singapore’s transition to EVs,” he said. “(The) EDB will continue to engage various fleet players – including logistics companies – to understand how fleet electrification could benefit their businesses.” Christopher Leck, deputy group director of technology and industry development at the Land Transport Authority (LTA), had told the Credit Suisse Global Supertrends Conference in April that “it makes sense” to The total cost of ownership for EVs may also yield more favourable economics for commercial fleet owners that have higher-intensity operations with light vehicles or lorries ..., the Bain report says. BT FILE PHOTO focus on electrifying large fleets of buses, lorries and taxis, rather than private, individually owned vehicles. ComfortDelGro Corp, which has some 12,000 cabs on Singapore’s roads, tied up with Greenlots in 2018 to run a fast-charging station through an engineering unit. It plans to open a second such station later this year. These charging stations support ComfortDelGro’s four fully electric Hyundai Ioniq and Kona taxis, which are part of an ongoing trial. Those drivers can also use other Greenlots charging services, and a charging station at Komoco Motors in Alexandra. Bain has suggested that commercial fleets will help to flip the switch in the region, as fleet owners “may develop their own charging infrastructure and only would need to make outside investments (or tap third parties) for top-up charging” elsewhere. The total cost of ownership for EVs may also yield more favourable economics for commercial fleet owners that have higher-intensity operations with light vehicles or lorries – especially in markets such as Singapore with higher fuel costs, the report added. Bloomberg New Energy Finance has previously reported that “long-haul, heavy-duty trucks will be harder to electricify” and may have to tap natural gas and hydrogen cells. Yet EDB executive director Lee Eng Keat, whose portfolio includes Singapore’s logistics industry cluster, noted at the Invest Asia 2019 conference in May that, “as fleet replacements come, the cost of a diesel or a carbon engine versus an electric vehicle is coming to close up”. Bain pointed to ride-hailing firm Grab, which has deals with SP Group and car maker Hyundai to lease and manage 200 electric vehicles here until year-end. It suggested that food delivery fleets could follow Grab’s lead – although, when asked what other sectors might go electric, Mr Hardcastle said that logistics providers will need to wait for more EV options to hit the market, while public buses rely on larger and costlier batteries, making a switch a matter of “a few more years”. But “BlueSG and other car sharing services would be able to capture similar benefits to fleets like Grab or Go-Jek, depending upon their business and leading model”, he added. “When looking at charging capacity for buses and trucks, the industry is currently limited to a maximum charge of 600kW,” noted ABB’s Mr de Villiers. “However, there is also significant potential for evolution in this sector, with 1MW charging possible in the not-too-distant future.” Grab’s fleet electrification was part of a joint government trial – which, a spokesman for the LTA told BT, has found out that shared-car fleets could reap economies of scale “with higher daily mileage and potentially lower running costs” than private vehicles. Mr Leck said that the LTA has worked with infrastructure vendors and hopes to “proliferate these sorts of charging infrastructure” publicly. “But, for most of these companies... the primary purpose, as in the case of BlueSG, is really to provision infrastructure for their own shared vehicles first,” he acknowledged. Meanwhile, Kuehne + Nagel’s Mr Singh said that the group will increase its number of EVs here “as the range of EVs improve, the size of the vehicle increases and there are more charging points along our transportation routes in commercial areas”. With the two electric vans now charged at the group’s logistics hub in Pioneer Crescent, “an increase in the number of charging points across the island would have a positive impact on our plans to increase our EV investment in Singapore”, he said, adding that government funding “would help to defray costs and accelerate the transformation” as well. BT Infographics Are we there yet? The central question regarding the growth of electric vehicle (EV) use in Singapore is whether infrastructure needs to be developed first before interest in EVs pick ups among individuals and business owners. The answer is somewhere in between. In the last couple of years, cheaper running costs and more affordable variants of electric vehicles have sprouted up, together with more public and private charging facilties being built.There were 560 electric cars in Singapore last year compared with 12 in 2016. Electric goods and services vehicles have more than doubled in that time. Here is a breakdown of vehicle charging stations available for public use.

In celebration of its first year here, BlueSG opened up a select group of charging stations for public use. Since late April, drivers of electric vehicles were able to charge their rides at HDB, URA & JTC carparks at 99 charging points across 25 locations in Singapore. While drivers are slowly shifting to electric vehicles, Jenny Lim, BlueSG's commercial and network director notes that currently, BlueSG has 30,000 rentals a month across its 465 BlueCar fleet from 6,000 a year ago. SP Group started operating public charging stations in January and currently has opened 54 electric vehicle charging points across 12 locations with plans to operate 1,000 charging points in Singapore by 2020. The points comprise 50kW direct current (DC) chargers, which are able to fully power up a vehicle in 30 minutes, and 43kW alternating current (AC) chargers. The grid operator's head of strategic development Goh Chee Kiong said that in the past two years, the company started replacing its fleet of vehicles with electric ones and through that, realised that there was a need to address a critical gap in electric vehicle charging infrastructure. An early mover into the electric vehicle charging space, Greenlots commenced operations in 2010 to address the lack of dedicated infrastructure for EV charging. In January, it was acquired by oil major Royal Dutch Shell where it is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell New Energies. It continues to grow its footprint with 34 public charging points across 23 locations, with half of them concentrated in the central business district. It is in discussions with other parties to expand reach and accessibility of electric vehicle charging points in Singapore. It operates many charging points in condominiums and office buildings. Red Dot Power has had its eye on the EV charging business as part of the firm’s strategic plan to offer a one-stop energy solution for buildings. Since May, its electric charging operations are funnelled through sister company REVO Charge, a wholly owned entity of homegrown energy services company vTrium Energy. REVO Charge currently has seven public chargers in operations with the rest of its chargers being private chargers or pending commissioning. Six of those public chargers are at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre and one is at Holland Road Shopping Centre. Two more are under installation at Gardens By The Bay. REVO Charge is on track to hit its target of 50 EV chargers (both private and public) by the end of 2019.
