On behalf of the Board of Directors ──────────────────────── MR STANLEY HUANG TIAN GUAN Chairman ──────────────────────── MS LOONG HUI CHEE Director 25 May 2023 3 Independent Auditor’s Report For the financial year ended 31 March 2023 Independent Auditor’s Report to the Member of SP PowerAssets Limited Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial statements of SP PowerAssets Limited (the “Company”) which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2023, the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the financial year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1967 (the “Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) (“SFRS(I)”) so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2023 and of the financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company for the year ended on that date. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (“SSAs”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (“ACRA”) Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (“ACRA Code”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. 4 SP PowerAssets Limited Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 March 2023 We have fulfilled our responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to the matter. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements. Goodwill impairment review The Company has recorded an asset of $2,166.8 million which represents goodwill on the acquisition of the transmission business as discussed in Note 6. The goodwill balance is reviewed annually for impairment based on fair value which is determined by discounting expected future cash flows as discussed in Note 6. The assessment of fair value requires significant management judgement in establishing future cash flows, the terminal value and the discount rate. Our audit procedures included assessing the key assumptions used in arriving at the fair value, including the terminal value, forecast future cash flows, and the discount rate. In performing our audit procedures, we assessed the reasonableness of cash flow projections by assessing the reliability of management’s budgeting process, the Company’s own historical data and performance and the market and economic conditions prevailing at the reporting date. In relation to other key inputs, such as the terminal value and discount rate, we compared these inputs to externally available industry, economic and financial data. We further reviewed the adequacy of the disclosure in the financial statements in Note 6 of the financial statements. Other Information Management is responsible for other information. The other information comprises the directors’ statement. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Act and SFRS(I), and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair financial statements and to maintain accountability of assets. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The directors’ responsibilities include overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. 5 SP PowerAssets Limited Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 March 2023 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 6 SP PowerAssets Limited Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 March 2023 From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act. The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Philip Ling Soon Hwa.

The accompanying notes form an integral part of these financial statements. 13 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 Notes to the financial statements These notes form an integral part of the financial statements. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 25 May 2023. 1 Domicile and activities SP PowerAssets Limited (the “Company”) is incorporated in the Republic of Singapore and has its registered office at 2 Kallang Sector, SP Group Building, Singapore 349277. The principal activities of the Company are those relating to the provision of services in connection with the transmission and distribution of electricity. The immediate and ultimate holding companies are Singapore Power Limited and Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited respectively. Both companies are incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. 2 Basis of preparation 2.1 Statement of compliance The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) (“SFRS(I)”). 2.2 Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies set out below. 2.3 Functional and presentation currency The financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Singapore dollars has been rounded to the nearest 0.1 million, unless otherwise stated. 2.4 Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with SFRS(I) requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is discussed below: 14 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 Impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets Impairment reviews in respect of goodwill and intangible assets are performed at least annually. More regular reviews are performed if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicate potential impairment. The Company uses the present value of future cash flows to determine the recoverable amounts of the cash generating units. In calculating the recoverable amounts, significant management judgement is required in forecasting cash flows of the cash generating units, in estimating the terminal growth values and in selecting an appropriate discount rate. Details of key assumptions made are set out in Note 6. Regulatory deferral accounts Regulatory deferral account debit or credit balances represent timing differences between revenue recognised for financial reporting purposes (as set out in Note 3.14) and revenue earned for regulatory purposes. Revenue earned for regulatory purposes is estimated based on the revenue allowed by the Energy Market Authority (“EMA”) (in accordance with the price regulation framework), taking into consideration the services rendered and volume of electricity delivered to consumers. Note 3.12 sets out the accounting policy for regulatory deferral accounts. 2.5 Changes in accounting policies Adoption of new and revised SFRS(I)s and Interpretation to SFRS(I) The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except that in the current financial year, the Company has adopted all the new and revised standards which are effective for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1 April 2022. The adoption of these standards did not have any material effect on the financial performance or position of the Company. 3 Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these financial statements, and have been consistently applied by the Company, which addresses changes in accounting policies due to the adoption of new and revised standards. 3.1 Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Company at the exchange rate at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the date which the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the translation of qualifying cash flow hedges, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. 15 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 3.2 Property, plant and equipment Recognition and measurement Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing cost. Capitalisation of borrowing costs will cease when the asset is ready for its intended use. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and is recognised net within other income/other operating expenses in profit or loss. Subsequent costs The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Depreciation Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Freehold land and construction-in-progress are not depreciated. 16 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Leasehold land Over the term of the lease ranging from 30 to 99 years Buildings and tunnels 30 to 40 years or the lease term, if shorter Transformers and switchgear 30 years Other plant and machinery - Works and other equipment 3 to 10 years - Standby electricity generator and other machinery 15 to 25 years Mains 30 years Other fixed assets (principally meters and motor vehicles) 3 to 10 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate. 3.3 Intangible assets Goodwill Goodwill arising from acquisition represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Subsequent measurement Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses and is tested for impairment on an annual basis as described in Note 3.5. Other intangible assets Deferred expenditure relates mainly to contributions paid by the Company in accordance with regulatory requirements towards capital expenditure costs incurred by electricity generation companies, and is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Deferred expenditure is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period in which the Company derives benefits from the capital contribution payments, which is generally the useful life of the relevant equipment ranging from 7 to 23 years. Computer software is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 5 years. Computer software development in-progress is stated at cost. No amortisation is provided until it is ready for use. 17 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 3.4 Financial instruments Non-derivative financial assets Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets are recognised when, and only when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Trade receivables are measured at the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third party, if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component at initial recognition. Subsequent measurement Investments in debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. Financial assets that are held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the assets are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. Derecognition The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and bank deposits. Non-derivative financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. For financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 18 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 Subsequent measurement After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition, the difference between the carrying amounts and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented on the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The rights of offset must not be contingent on a future event and must be enforceable in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of all the counterparties to the contract. Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value and any directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognised in profit or loss. The Company designates certain derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments in qualifying hedging relationships. At inception of designated hedging relationships, the Company documents the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Company also documents the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other. The Company applies hedge accounting for certain hedging relationships which qualify for hedge accounting. 19 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as: • cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognised firm commitment; or • fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm commitment Cash flow hedges When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount accumulated in equity is included in the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is recognised. In other cases, the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit and loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income will remain in the cash flow hedge reserve until the future cash flows occur if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur or reclassified to profit or loss immediately if the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur. Fair value hedges Changes in the fair value of a derivative hedging instrument designated as a fair value hedge are recognised in profit or loss. The hedged item is adjusted to reflect changes in its fair value in respect of the risk being hedged; the gain or loss attributable to the hedged risk is recognised in profit or loss with an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item. Hedges directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform Phase 2 amendments: Replacement of interest rates – when there is no longer uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform When the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument changes as a result of interest rate benchmark reform and therefore there is no longer uncertainty arising about the cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument, the Company amends the hedged documentation of that hedging relationship to reflect the change(s) required by interest rate benchmark reform. 20 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 A change in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows is required by interest rate benchmark reform if the following conditions are met: • the change is necessary as a direct consequence of the reform; and • the new basis for determining the contractual cash flow is economically equivalent to the previous basis – i.e. the basis immediately before the change. For this purpose, the hedge designation is amended only to make one or more of the following changes: • designating an alternative benchmark rate as the hedged risk; • updating the description of hedged item, including the description of the designated portion of the cash flows or fair value being hedged; or • updating the description of the hedging instrument. The Company amends the description of the hedging instrument only if the following conditions are met: • it makes a change required by interest rate benchmark reform by changing the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of the hedging instrument or using another approach that is economically equivalent to changing the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of the original hedging instrument; and • the original hedging instrument is not derecognised. The Company amends the formal hedge documentation by the end of the reporting period during which a change required by interest rate benchmark reform is made to the hedged risk, hedged item or hedging instrument. These amendments in the formal hedge documentation do not constitute the discontinuation of the hedging relationship or the designation of a new hedging relationship. If changes are made in addition to those changes required by interest rate benchmark reform described above, then the Company first considers whether those additional changes result in the discontinuation of the hedge accounting relationship. If the additional changes do not result in discontinuation of the hedge accounting relationship, then the Company amends the formal hedge documentation for changes required by interest rate benchmark reform as mentioned above. When the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged future cash flows had been based is changed as required by interest rate benchmark reform, for the purpose of determining whether the hedged future cash flows are expected to occur, the Company deems that the hedging reserve recognised in other comprehensive income for the hedging relationship is based on the alternative benchmark rate on which the hedged future cash flows will be based. 21 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 3.5 Impairment Non-derivative financial assets The Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss and financial guarantee contracts. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognised for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables and contract assets, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. The Company considers a financial asset potentially in default when contractual payments are 180 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit (“CGU”) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis. 22 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Such reversal of impairment is recognised in profit or loss. 3.6 Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined based on the weighted average method, and includes expenditure in acquiring the inventories and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Cost may also include transfers from other comprehensive income of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of inventories. Allowance for obsolete, deteriorated or damaged stocks is made when considered appropriate. 3.7 Accrued revenue Revenue accrual estimates are made to account for the unbilled amount at the reporting date. 3.8 Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. 3.9 Government grants Capital grants are recognised on a straight-line basis and taken to profit or loss over the periods necessary to match the depreciation of the assets purchased with the government grants. Operating grants are presented within other income and are taken to profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred. 3.10 Deferred construction cost compensation Deferred construction cost compensation received to defray costs relating to the construction of an asset are accounted for as a government grant. Note 3.9 sets out the government grant accounting policy. 3.11 Deferred income Deferred income comprises (i) government grant for the purchase of depreciable assets and (ii) contributions made by certain customers towards the cost of capital projects received prior to 1 July 2009. Government grants and customer contributions Deferred income is recognised on a straight-line basis and taken to profit or loss over the periods necessary to match the depreciation of the assets purchased with the government grants and customers’ contribution. 23 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 3.12 Regulatory deferral account (“RDA”) debit or credit balances Use of system charges Regulatory deferral account debit or credit balances represent timing differences between revenue recognised for financial reporting purposes and revenue earned for regulatory purposes. Movements in the regulatory deferral account debit or credit balances are recognised in profit or loss over the periods necessary to adjust revenue recognised for financial reporting purposes to revenue earned for regulatory purposes based on services rendered. At the end of each regulatory period, adjustments for amounts to be recovered or refunded are taken to profit or loss as net movement in regulatory deferral account balances. 3.13 Price regulation and licence The Company’s operations in Singapore are regulated under the Electricity Licence for Transmission Licensee issued by the EMA of Singapore. Allowed revenue to be earned from the transmission of electricity is regulated based on certain formulae and parameters set out in the licence, relevant acts and codes. Revenue recognised for financial reporting purposes may differ from revenue earned for regulatory purposes due to volume variances. This may result in adjustments that may increase or decrease tariffs in succeeding periods. Amounts to be recovered or refunded are brought to account as adjustments to net movement in regulatory deferral account debit or credit balances in the income statement in the period in which the Company becomes entitled to the recovery or liable for the refund. The Company’s capital expenditure may differ from its regulatory plan and is subject to a review by the EMA. The results of the variances in capital expenditure may be translated into price adjustments, if any, in the following reset period. The use of system charges are approved by the EMA for a 5-year regulatory period in accordance with the price regulation framework. 3.14 Revenue recognition Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring the promised service to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. Use of system charges Revenue for financial reporting purposes is recognised over time based on tariff billings to customers when the volume of electricity is delivered. 24 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 3.15 Leases The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. As lessor Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term. Rental income under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss over the term of the lease. As lessee The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets. (i) Right-of-use assets The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement or on modification date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to Note 3.5 for the accounting policy. (ii) Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. 25 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. (iii) Short-term leases The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of leasehold land (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). Lease payments on short-term leases are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 3.16 Finance income and costs Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, fair value gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognised on financial assets (other than trade receivables), gains or losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss, amortisation of transaction costs capitalised and interest expense on lease liabilities. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. 3.17 Tax expense Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in the other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for: - temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; and - taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. 26 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Company takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Company to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made. The movement in a deferred tax asset or liability that arises from the temporary differences created as a result of recognising regulatory deferral account balances are presented in the income statement net of the movement in regulatory deferral account balances related to profit or loss. 3.18 Segment reporting The Company determines and presents operating segments based on the information that is provided internally to the chief operating decision maker. The Company has only one operating segment – electricity transmission and distribution, and hence no separate disclosures are made in the financial statements. 3.19 New standards and interpretations not yet adopted A number of new amendments to standards that are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 April 2022 have not been early adopted in preparing these financial statements. The following amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements: - Amendments to SFRS(I) 1-1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current - Amendments to SFRS(I) 1-1 and SFRS(I) Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to SFRS(I) 1-8: Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to SFRS(I) 1-12: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction 27 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 4 Property, plant and equipment Freehold land Leasehold land Buildings and tunnels Switchgear Transformers Other plant and machinery Mains Other fixed Constructionin-progress assets Total $ million $ million $ million $ million $ million $ million $ million $ million $ million $ million Cost At 1 April 2021 0.3 504.4 1,692.4 3,351.0 1,840.3 479.8 7,253.3 255.7 1,552.5 16,929.7 Additions − − 7.2 1.2 − 3.2 − 19.6 775.4 806.6 Disposals − − (0.1) (30.1) (30.4) (7.0) (106.7) (9.3) (3.2) (186.8) Reclassification − (0.4) 154.8 123.8 86.9 27.7 308.0 9.0 (709.8) − At 31 March 2022 0.3 504.0 1,854.3 3,445.9 1,896.8 503.7 7,454.6 275.0 1,614.9 17,549.5 Additions − − − − − 1.9 − 26.0 743.6 771.5 Lease Modification (Note 5) − − 7.4 − − − − − − 7.4 Disposals − − − (80.0) (28.4) (7.4) (106.7) (10.9) − (233.4) Reclassification − 0.2 17.8 137.5 69.1 123.4 447.7 1.1 (796.8) − At 31 March 2023 0.3 504.2 1,879.5 3,503.4 1,937.5 621.6 7,795.6 291.2 1,561.7 18,095.0 Accumulated depreciation At 1 April 2021 − 172.7 682.2 1,722.1 683.4 291.7 2,778.6 125.5 − 6,456.2 Depreciation − 10.1 61.9 148.8 67.7 43.6 255.7 34.4 − 622.2 Disposals − − (0.1) (26.2) (27.9) (6.9) (106.7) (8.8) − (176.6) At 31 March 2022 − 182.8 744.0 1,844.7 723.2 328.4 2,927.6 151.1 − 6,901.8 Depreciation − 10.0 66.3 156.2 67.4 57.4 266.0 38.3 − 661.6 Disposals − − − (76.8) (25.3) (7.4) (106.8) (10.6) − (226.9) At 31 March 2023 − 192.8 810.3 1,924.1 765.3 378.4 3,086.8 178.8 − 7,336.5 Carrying amounts At 31 March 2022 0.3 321.2 1,110.3 1,601.2 1,173.6 175.3 4,527.0 123.9 1,614.9 10,647.7 At 31 March 2023 0.3 311.4 1,069.2 1,579.3 1,172.2 243.2 4,708.8 112.4 1,561.7 10,758.5 28 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 Expenses capitalised The following expenses were capitalised in property, plant and equipment during the year: 2023 2022 $ million $ million Management fees (staff cost) 84.9 78.8 As at 31 March 2023, property, plant and equipment includes right-of-use assets of $319.2 million (2022: $325.0 million) relating to leasehold land, building and office under leasing arrangements.

The recoverable amount of the CGU is based on the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined to be higher than its carrying amount hence no impairment is necessary. Fair value is determined by discounting future cash flows generated from the continuing use of the CGU and is based on the following key assumptions: 1. Cash flows are projected based on a 5-year business plan. 2. Cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate of 6.89% (2022: 6.28%) per annum that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the CGU. 3.

As such, these agreements do not meet the criteria for offsetting under SFRS(I) 1-32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The Company and its counterparties do not intend to settle on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously but have the right to set off in the case of default and insolvency or bankruptcy. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement that are not otherwise set-off are as follows: Types of financial assets Gross amounts of recognised financial assets Related amounts not offset in the balance sheet – financial instruments Net amounts $ million $ million $ million 2023 Derivative assets 139.7 (64.0) 75.7 2022 Derivative assets 180.2 (108.9) 71.3 Types of financial liabilities Gross amounts of recognised financial liabilities Related amounts not offset in the balance sheet – financial instruments Net amounts $ million $ million $ million 2023 Derivative liabilities 302.1 (64.0) 238.1 2022 Derivative liabilities 165.6 (108.9) 56.7 33 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 Hedge Accounting As at 31 March 2023 and 2022, the Company held various types of derivative financial instruments and formally designated a portion of them in cash flow and fair value hedge relationships for accounting purposes, in accordance with the requirements of SFRS(I) 9.

The provision rates are determined based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of trade receivables and on the estimation of the management. A considerable amount of estimation is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer. The Company categorises trade receivables for potential write-off on the overdue trade receivables of customers that have failed to make contractual payments for more than 180 days. Where trade receivables have been impaired or written off, the Company continues to engage enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognised in profit or loss. The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables by geographic region, relates mainly to Singapore at the reporting date. There is no significant concentration of credit risk of trade receivables. The Company has policies in place to monitor its credit risk. Contractual deposits are collected and sufficient collaterals are obtained to mitigate the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company’s customers are spread across diverse industries and ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of receivables to ensure minimal exposure to bad debts. The ageing of trade receivables at the reporting date is as follows: 2023 2022 $ million $ million Not past due 162.9 167.7 Past due 0-30 days 5.1 5.3 Past due 31-90 days 1.6 2.9 Past due 91-180 days 0.8 0.6 Past due more than 180 days 8.4 11.0 178.8 187.5 37 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 Expected credit losses The movement in allowance for expected credit losses of trade receivables computed based on lifetime ECL are as follows: 2023 2022 $ million $ million At 1 April 6.5 8.8 Impairment loss recognised 0.3 − Impairment loss written back (2.3) (2.3) At 31 March 4.5 6.5 Trade and other receivables are denominated predominantly in the functional currency of the Company. 10 Cash and cash equivalents 2023 2022 $ million $ million Cash at bank and in hand 0.1 0.2 As at reporting date, cash and cash equivalents are denominated in the functional currency of the Company. 11 Regulatory deferral accounts 2023 2022 $ million $ million Net movement in RDA balances related to profit or loss 5.3 0.9 RDA related deferred tax movement (0.9) (0.1) Net movement in RDA balances related to profit or loss and the related deferred tax movement 4.4 0.8 38 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 At 1 April 2022 $ million Net movement in RDA balances related ------------------ to profit or loss ----------------- Balances arising in the period $ million (Recovery)/ reversal $ million Net movement in RDA balances related ------- to balance sheet ------- Funding $ million At 31 March 2023 $ million RDA debit balances Deferral of revenue based on service rendered 314.0 52.3 (77.5) (14.2) 274.6 Under recovery of volume variance (90.8) (47.9) 78.4 − (60.3) 223.2 4.4 0.9 (14.2) 214.3 RDA related deferred tax liabilities RDA related deferred tax liabilities (37.9) (0.7) (0.2) 2.4 (36.4) At 1 April 2021 $ million Net movement in RDA balances related ------------------ to profit or loss ----------------- Balances arising in the period $ million (Recovery)/ reversal $ million At 31 March 2022 $ million RDA debit balances Deferral of revenue based on service rendered 256.9 106.4 (49.3) 314.0 Under recovery of volume variance (34.6) (78.6) 22.4 (90.8) 222.3 27.8 (26.9) 223.2 RDA related deferred tax liabilities RDA related deferred tax liabilities (37.8) (4.7) 4.6 (37.9) The recovery/reversal period of RDA debit and credit balances are directed by EMA. The Company is currently the sole electricity transmission and distribution company in Singapore. The EMA may not terminate the Company’s Transmission Licence except by giving 25 years’ notice, or otherwise revoking the Transmission Licence in accordance with the Electricity Act (including where the EMA is satisfied that the Company has gone into compulsory liquidation or voluntary liquidation other than for the purpose of amalgamation or reconstruction, or the public interest or security of Singapore requires). The Company therefore considers the exposure on recovery of regulatory deferral debit balances to be minimal. During the financial year, the EMA provided the Company with a funding of $14.2 million to offset the RDA debit balances. 39 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 12 Share capital 2023 2022 No. of shares No. of shares Ordinary shares million million Issued and fully-paid, with no par value At 1 April and 31 March 2,512.4 2,512.4 The holder of ordinary shares is entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and is entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company.

Related parties may be individuals or other entities. The immediate and ultimate holding companies are Singapore Power Limited and Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited (“Temasek”) respectively. These companies are incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. Temasek is an investment company headquartered in Singapore with a diversified investment portfolio. Accordingly, all the subsidiaries of Temasek are related corporations and are subject to common control. The Company engages in a wide variety of transactions with related corporations in the normal course of business on terms similar to those available to other customers. Such transactions include but are not limited to sales and purchases of power, provision of consultancy and engineering services, leasing of cables and ducts, agency services and financial and banking services. The related party transactions are carried out on terms negotiated between the parties which are intended to reflect competitive terms. All electricity supplied to companies in the Temasek group are related party transactions. The Temasek group has extensive interests in a large number of companies. As the Company’s rates for electricity transmission and distribution are based on tariffs approved by the EMA, the Company has concluded that it is not meaningful to present information relating to such revenue. Other than as disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements, transactions with related parties are as follows: Related companies 2023 2022 $ million $ million - management fee expenses (244.1) (232.7) - maintenance expenses (3.4) (3.7) - agency fee expenses (28.9) (27.6) - support service expenses (1.7) (1.6) - service expenses, including leases (6.8) (4.3) - leasing income 5.8 5.3 - service income 1.0 1.1 - trustee fee income 0.4 0.4 Immediate holding company - maintenance expenses (18.1) (17.1) - support service expenses (32.1) (34.5) 48 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 26 Financial risk management The Company’s activities expose it to foreign currency, interest rate, credit and liquidity risks which arise in the normal course of business. Generally, the Company’s overall objective is to manage and minimise exposure to such risks. The Company adopts the risk management policies and guidelines established by its immediate holding company, Singapore Power Limited, and has established processes for monitoring compliances with such policies. The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to foreign currency and interest rate risks respectively. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The material financial risks associated with the Company’s activities are each described below, together with details of the Company’s policies for managing the risks. Foreign currency risk The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks from borrowing activities, purchase, supply and installation contracts, and trade creditors which are denominated in a currency other than Singapore dollars. The objective of the Company’s risk management policies is to mitigate foreign exchange risk by utilising various hedging instruments. The Company therefore considers avoidable currency risk exposure to be minimal for the Company. The Company enters into cross-currency interest rate swaps to manage exposures arising from foreign currency borrowings including the United States Dollar (“USD”) and Japanese Yen (“JPY”). Under cross-currency interest rate swaps, the Company agrees to exchange specified foreign currency principal and interest amounts at an agreed future date at a pre-determined exchange rate. Such contracts enable the Company to mitigate the risk of adverse movements in foreign exchange rates. Except where a foreign currency borrowing is taken with the intention of providing a natural hedge by matching the underlying cash flows, all foreign currency borrowings are swapped back to Singapore dollars. For foreign currency swaps that do not meet the requirements of hedge accounting, changes in fair value are recorded in profit or loss. The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to substantially hedge foreign currency risk attributable to purchase transactions. The maturities of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are intended to match the forecasted progress payments of the supply and installation contracts. Whenever necessary, the forward foreign exchange contracts are either rolled over at maturity or translated into foreign currency deposits, whichever is more cost efficient. As at 31 March 2023, the Company has outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts of approximately $227.9 million (2022: $$225.2 million). The net fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts as at 31 March 2023 is $2.5 million net liabilities (2022: $4.3 million net liabilities) comprising assets of $0.5 million (2022: $0.9 million) and liabilities of $3.0 million (2022: $5.2 million). These amounts were recognised as derivative assets and liabilities respectively. 49 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 Sensitivity analysis for foreign currency risk As at 31 March 2023 and 2022, if the functional currency of the Company had moved against each of the currencies as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, equity would have been affected as below: Equity (hedging reserve) $ million Judgements of reasonably possible movements – increase/(decrease) 2023 USD Increase of the SGD by 5 per cent against US Dollar (5.2) Decrease of the SGD by 5 per cent against US Dollar 5.2 EUR Increase of the SGD by 9 per cent against EUR Dollar (4.3) Decrease of the SGD by 9 per cent against EUR Dollar 4.3 JPY Increase of the SGD by 15 per cent against Japanese Yen (3.5) Decrease of the SGD by 15 per cent against Japanese Yen 3.5 2022 USD Increase of the SGD by 5 per cent against US Dollar (6.7) Decrease of the SGD by 5 per cent against US Dollar 6.7 EUR Increase of the SGD by 7 per cent against EUR Dollar (1.9) Decrease of the SGD by 7 per cent against EUR Dollar 1.9 JPY Increase of the SGD by 9 per cent against Japanese Yen (2.7) Decrease of the SGD by 9 per cent against Japanese Yen 2.7 The judgements of reasonably possible movements were determined using statistical analysis of the 90 th percentile of the best and worst expected outcomes having regard to actual historical exchange rate data over the previous five years. Management considers that past movements are a reasonable basis for estimating possible movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Interest rate risk The Company manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining a significant portion of its debt at fixed interest rates. This is done by the (i) issuance of fixed rate debt; (ii) use of interest rate swaps to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt; or (iii) use of cross-currency interest rate swaps to convert fixed or floating rate nonfunctional currency denominated debt to fixed rate functional currency denominated debt. The use of derivative financial instruments relates directly to the underlying existing and anticipated indebtedness. 50 SP PowerAssets Limited Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023 Managing interbank offered rates reform and associated risks A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, to replace interbank offered rates (“IBORs”) with alternative nearly risk-free rates (referred to as “IBOR reform”). The Company holds interest rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps indexed to the Singapore Swap Offer Rate (“SOR”) for risk management purposes which are designated in hedging relationships. SOR will cease publication after 30 June 2023, and it will be replaced by the Singapore Overnight Rate Average (“SORA”) as the alternative interest rate benchmark in Singapore. For cross-currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps that extend beyond the anticipated cessation date of SOR, the Company has completed the transition agreement for the affected periods with counterparties. In addition, appropriate fallback provisions with counterparties are also in place and the Company will rely on the Fallback Rate (SOR) for transition. As at 31 March 2022, the Company’s exposure to SOR/SORA designated in hedging relationships has nominal amount of $4,948.2 million, representing both the nominal amount of the hedging interest rate and crosscurrency interest rate swaps. As at 31 March 2023, the interest rate and cross-currency swaps of the Company are indexed to SOR/SORA. As at 31 March 2023, the Company has interest rate and cross-currency swaps with notional amount of $4,998.2 million (2022: $5,572.0 million). The Company classifies these swaps as cash flow and fair value hedges. The net fair value of swaps as at 31 March 2023 is $159.9 million net liabilities (2022: $18.9 million net assets) comprising assets of $139.2 million (2022: $179.3 million) and liabilities of $299.1 million (2022: $160.4 million). These amounts were recognised as derivative assets and liabilities respectively. The Company’s excess funds are principally invested in bank deposits of varying maturities to match its cash flow needs, or deposited with a related company. At the reporting date, if interest rates had moved as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, profit before taxation and equity would have been affected as follows: Profit before taxation Equity (hedging reserve) $ million $ million Judgeme

Media Release Electricity Tariff Revision For the Period 1 Oct to 31 Dec 2020 Singapore, 30 September 2020 – For the period from 1 October to 31 December 2020, electricity tariff (before 7% GST) will increase by an average of 1.83 cents per kWh compared with the previous quarter. The revised tariff and that of the preceding quarter are the lowest in the last three years. The increase this quarter is due to higher energy costs, which forms a major component of the electricity tariff and is paid to power generation companies. The remaining components of the tariff, consisting of network costs and market support services fees to SP Group and Market Administration and Power System Operation Fee to Energy Market Company and Power System Operator, remain unchanged (Appendix 1: Breakdown of Electricity Tariff). For households, the electricity tariff (before 7% GST) will increase from 19.60 to 21.43 cents per kWh for 1 October to 31 December 2020. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in fourroom HDB flats will increase by $7.01 (before 7% GST) (Appendix 3: Average monthly electricity bills of domestic customers).   *before 7% GST The electricity tariffs are reviewed quarterly based on guidelines set by the Energy Market Authority (EMA), the electricity industry regulator. The tariffs shown in Appendix 2 have been approved by the 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 PowerAssets): This fee is reviewed annually. This is to recover the cost of transporting electricity through the power grid. Market Support Services Fee (paid to SP Services): This fee is reviewed annually. This is to recover the costs of billing and meter reading, data management, retail market systems as well as for 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.   Appendix 2 Appendix 3

Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 3 Our Core, Our Future “ Growth, new challenges and adaptability are symbolised in this ceramic wall mural (facing page). The pillars depict the strength which is gained from unity, while the concentric configurations, made up of separate pieces, represent the role that each person has to play in contributing to the whole. Like the individuals who make up the organisation, each piece is unique. ” By Mural Artist Hasan Zolkifly Rahim 4 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Wall mural of stoneware with gold ash glaze at Singapore Power Building Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 5 Building on our strengths, we continued to achieve significant progress on many fronts during FY2005. It was a very successful year — SP AusNet was simultaneously listed in Australia and Singapore; network performance improved, maintaining world-class standards; continued investments were made to enhance and expand our electricity and gas networks; partnerships with customers were deepened; and new service initiatives launched. 6 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Chairman’s Statement Our Core, Our Future We celebrated our 10th Anniversary during the year under review. It was a significant milestone for all of us at Singapore Power (SP), marking a decade of changes, challenges, and achievements. In the relatively short span of 10 years, we have seen the liberalisation of the electricity industry in Singapore and the transformation of the market to one that is based on competition. The restructuring of the industry and the new rules of a competitive electricity market have had a profound impact on the nature and structure of our business and organisation. We can be justifiably proud of our achievements and our evolution in the liberalised electricity sector. We have done this by strengthening and deepening our core capabilities and expertise to enhance our standing and performance. Today, we are the sole electricity and gas transmission and distribution company in Singapore. Our Australian subsidiary, SP AusNet, owns the sole electricity transmission network and one of the electricity and gas distribution networks in Victoria. We also provide integrated utilities support services for electricity, gas, water and refuse collection in Singapore. And we have maintained our good credit ratings of “AA” from Standard & Poor’s and “Aa1” from Moody’s. Building on our strengths, we continued to achieve significant progress on many fronts during FY2005. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE For the financial year ended 31 March 2006, SP Group reported a proforma net profit of $726 million, excluding exceptional and nonrecurring items, up 6% from a year ago. Total revenue rose 17.1% to $4.84 billion. Total assets stood at $18.7 billion. Currently, the Group has close to 3,800 staff. SP AUSNET LISTING A SUCCESS A major corporate highlight was the successful simultaneous listing of SP AusNet on the Australian and Singapore stock exchanges. The Initial Public Offering was greeted by enthusiastic response and support from investors in Australia, Singapore, United States and Europe. BIG GAINS IN ELECTRICITY NETWORK PERFORMANCE In Singapore, our network performance achieved considerable improvements, reflecting our commitment to maintaining a world-class power network. There was a shorter system average interruption time; fewer supply interruptions; and lower interruption frequency as well as interruption duration indices. Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 7 Chairman’s Statement Meanwhile, feedback from our second annual customer survey showed better customer satisfaction than that of the first survey in 2004. CONTINUING INVESTMENTS AND EXPANSION Without letting up, we continued to push ahead with investments in our electricity infrastructure to ensure an efficient and reliable delivery of quality power into the future. We also increased the capacity of our natural gas transmission network and expanded the reach of our natural gas and town gas distribution. Priming ourselves for increasing opportunities beyond Singapore, we launched a new initiative called SP Global Solutions (SPGS). It will leverage upon the Group’s core competencies and intellectual property to provide management consultancy to overseas utilities as a means to enter into new markets and seize new expansion opportunities. The natural gas projects could potentially see up to 15,000 properties having access to natural gas for the first time while the transmission network augmentation projects are intended to support and meet load growth in Victoria’s metropolitan and regional areas. DEEPENING PARTNERSHIP WITH CUSTOMERS We are also deepening our relationship with customers in Singapore, working in close partnership with individual companies as well as industry sectors. A high-level Power Quality Advisory Panel, which includes chief executives from industry as members, was formed to address power quality issues at a macro and strategic level. At the industry level, the Electronics & Semiconductor Power Quality Interest Group was inaugurated. Interest groups for the Pharmaceutical and the Chemical & Petrochemical sectors will be launched in the coming year. In Victoria, Australia, SP AusNet further entrenched itself as a leader in electricity transmission and electricity and gas distribution. This follows its success in securing a natural gas extension programme to supply natural gas to a dozen regional towns, in tendering for two major transmission network augmentation projects, and the further expansion and development of its electricity transmission and distribution networks. NEW SERVICE INITIATIVES We continued to move towards improving customer services. A Pay-As-You-Use (PAYU) metering scheme was successfully launched, enabling customers whose utility payments are in arrears to better manage their consumption while discharging their outstanding bills over a period of time. 8 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 We also made it even easier and more convenient for customers to pay their utility bills by expanding the channels to include the island-wide 7-Eleven convenience store chain. Customers can now pay their utility bills at any 7-Eleven convenience store, at any time — day or night — using cash, NETS or CashCard. A new common utility enquiry hotline was also introduced for the convenience of customers. An independent “mystery” audit last year found that overall service level improved from 77% to 85% over a 12-month period. A Customer Satisfaction Survey reinforced this finding, with results showing that 83% of customers were satisfied with our services. SERVING THE COMMUNITY We have always strived to be a part of the community in which we operate, contributing to charities and worthwhile causes. We are happy that we were able to commemorate our 10th Anniversary Celebrations with the launch of the Singapore Power Heartware Fund. We have raised more than $1 million so far to support Home Help Service programmes administered by the Community Chest. We are committed to raising $1 million a year for three years. My fellow members on the SP Board of Directors have faithfully and diligently carried out their duties, and have been unstinting in their valuable counsel. I would like to extend my deep appreciation to Ms Engeline Teh Guek Ngor who retired from the Board in July 2005. Our achievements in FY2005 were also made possible because of the dedication and commitment of our staff, all of whom can be proud of their role and position in the organisation and its success. The Union of Power and Gas Employees (UPAGE) has been highly effective in representing our staff through their responsible dialogue and partnership with Management to further improve employee relations for the benefit of all. We are also fortunate to have customers and business partners who are willing and responsive in working closely with us. I look forward to your continued support as Singapore Power builds on its core competencies to secure its future. LAST BUT NOT LEAST It has, indeed, been a very busy year for the SP Group, and a very fruitful one too. It is with great pleasure that I acknowledge and thank all those who have been a part of it.

Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 13 Corporate Governance Ethics and Accountability The SP Board is committed to good corporate governance. The principles set out in the revised Code of Corporate Governance 2005 (the Code) for listed companies are followed closely by SP although it is not required to do so. SP has used the Code as its guide and has put in place an internal framework to ensure good corporate governance in its business practices and activities. The Whistleblower Policy, which was launched during the financial year, strengthens ethical business conduct in the Group. SP endeavours to enhance shareholder value by ensuring the highest standards of corporate governance and accountability. SETTING DIRECTIONS The Board provides broad strategic directions for the Group and undertakes key investment and funding decisions. In addition, the Board ensures that Management maintains a sound system of internal controls to protect the Group’s assets, and reviews the Group’s financial performance. The Board meets at least four times a year to review the Group’s business performance. In the last financial year, the Board met seven times and held a Board retreat. Newly-appointed Board Directors attend an orientation programme to familiarise themselves with the Group’s business and governance practices. The Group also provides on-going education on Board processes and best practices. ACCESS TO INFORMATION The Board is provided with complete information prior to Board meetings and on an on-going basis. Board papers include management financial reports, annual budgets and performance against budget, announcement of results, matters requiring Board’s decision, updates on key outstanding issues and disclosure documents as well as updates on new legislative developments. The Board also has separate and independent access to Senior Management and the Company Secretary. The Company Secretary ensures that Board procedures are observed and that the Company complies with the requirements of the Companies Act and other applicable regulations. Should the Directors, whether as a group or individually, require independent professional advice to carry out their duties, the Company will arrange to appoint, at the Company’s expense, a professional advisor to render advice. 14 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 ACCOUNTABILITY In presenting the annual financial statements to the shareholder, the Board aims to provide the shareholder with a balanced and comprehensive assessment of the Group’s position and prospects. Management currently provides the Board with appropriately detailed management accounts of the Group’s performance, position and prospects on a monthly basis. There is a strong element of independence in the Board composition — independent nonexecutive Directors constitute more than threequarters of the entire Board. The independence of each Director is reviewed annually by a Nominating Committee in accordance with the Code of Corporate Governance. The current size of 10 Board members is appropriate for effective decision-making, taking into account the scope and nature of the Group’s operations. Collectively, the Directors possess a wealth of expertise and experience in the management of business at senior and international levels. BOARD COMMITTEES The Board is supported by specialised committees to facilitate effective supervision of Management. These are the Audit Committee, the Risk Management Committee, the Finance Committee, the Nominating Committee and the Staff Development and Compensation Committee.

The RMC meets at least three times a year. The RMC is supported by the Group Risk Management Unit in its oversight of SP Group risks. Although the risk management responsibilities of the Board are executed through the organisational set-up mentioned above, the ultimate risk ownership rests with the business groups.

Right: An SP AusNet IPO marketing balloon at Raffles Place in Singapore’s central business district In preparation for SP AusNet’s Initial Public Offering (IPO) and its listing, our business interests in Australia were restructured and consolidated. We sold our merchant energy business, and we integrated our transmission and distribution networks under SP AusNet. At the same time, a number of events and activities were organised to commemorate our tenth year of incorporation. In addition to the celebrations, we launched the Singapore Power Heartware Fund to focus our community efforts on helping the elderly in need of assistance. SP AUSNET IPO The SP AusNet IPO, which attracted much interest and was over-subscribed by more than two times, scored a number of firsts for SP and the capital market in Singapore. It is the first time the Group has listed one of its business units. When SP AusNet’s IPO was launched in November 2005, it was also the largest in Singapore since 1993. Additionally, it was the first dual Australian and Singapore IPO. SP AusNet has a primary listing on the Australian Stock Exchange and a secondary listing on the Singapore Exchange. Trading commenced on 14 December 2005. SP AusNet raised more than A$1.4 billion from investors in Australia, Singapore, United States and Europe. The complexity of having to comply with differing regulatory regimes in three separate markets was ably addressed by the team of in-house and external professionals. 20 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 The SP AusNet IPO offered stapled securities, which is still relatively new in Singapore. Investors in SP AusNet hold triple-stapled securities consisting of one share of SP Australia Networks (Transmission) Ltd, one share of SP Australia Networks (Distribution) Ltd, and one unit in SP Australia Networks (Finance) Trust. SP, through wholly-owned subsidiary Singapore Power International Pte Ltd, holds a majority 51% stake in SP AusNet. SPI Management Services Pty Ltd (wholly-owned by SP) performs management services for SP AusNet under a management services agreement. The key benefits of stapled securities include cash distributions in excess of accounting profits and flexibility for future acquisitions. SP, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, SP (Belgium) Holdings SA, offered a 49% stake or 1.025 billion stapled securities in SP AusNet to investors. In Singapore, 210 million securities were allocated, of which 35 million went to the public. The strong support for the IPO resulted in SP AusNet fixing the price at A$1.38 ($1.75) per security. This represented an annualised forecast distribution yield of 7.96% for the financial year ended 31 March 2006, and increasing to 8.17% for the financial year ending 31 March 2007.

The highlight of the celebrations was the Anniversary Dinner held on 1 October 2005, which brought together key partners and players who have contributed to the development of the energy industry in Singapore. Some 700 guests and staff attended the Dinner, which was graced by the Minister of Trade and Industry, Mr Lim Hng Kiang, and Mrs Lim. The Minister launched the Singapore Power Heartware Fund during the Dinner at which a cheque for $750,000 was presented to the National Council of Social Service. Of the amount presented, $538,000 was raised through the sale of the dinner tables. The remaining amount was raised through donations from corporate sponsors and a pledge card drive among our staff, with SP matching staff pledges dollar-for-dollar. SINGAPORE POWER HEARTWARE FUND As SP celebrated a decade of progress and growth, the less fortunate in our society were not forgotten. As part of its 10th Anniversary Celebrations, the Singapore Power Heartware Fund was launched with the aim of achieving greater focus in our endeavours to enhance the quality of life of those in need of help. Thus, the Fund is committed to specifically helping the elderly in need, a segment of our population which is growing rapidly. The Fund will support Home Help Service programmes for the next three years. The programmes, administered by the Community Chest, benefit some 2,700 elderly people and their caregivers by providing essential services such as meal delivery, personal care hygiene, housekeeping, laundry and transport for medical consultations. A slew of fund-raising activities resulted in more than $1 million being raised for the Fund, with every dollar raised going to the beneficiaries. We are committed to raising $1 million a year for three years. A portion will be used to purchase hardware and equipment such as vans for old folks’ homes, and wheel chairs for the less mobile. All staff are also being encouraged to take part in voluntary work for the elderly under the various Home Help Service programmes, for which one day’s volunteer leave is given. 22 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Group Financial Highlights Key Financial Data REVENUE AND PROFIT ������������� �������������������� ����� ����� ����� ����� ��������� ����� ����� ����� ��� ��� ����� ��� � ��������� ��������� ��� ��� ��������� ��������� ������������� ������������������� ���������������� ASSETS AND SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY ������������ �������������������� ������ ������ ������ ������ ��������� ������ ������ ����� ����� ����� � ��������� ��������� ��������� ��������� Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 23 24 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Operational Review Singapore Power At Home SP builds on its core capabilities and wealth of experience in the utilities industry to strengthen its future prospects. In the home market, we are firmly entrenched in electricity and gas transmission and distribution, and utilities support services through four major subsidiaries — SP PowerAssets, SP PowerGrid, PowerGas, and SP Services.

At the Core of Power Quality 28 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Operational Review SP PowerGrid We have built up a robust electricity transmission and distribution network that is world-class in standard, employing leading-edge technology. At the heart of this network are two subsidiaries. They are geared towards providing quality power through investments in and management of a national electricity grid infrastructure that provides for future growth. SP PowerAssets (SPPA) is the owner of electricity transmission and distribution assets in Singapore. Its total fixed assets, valued at $6.5 billion, comprise a transmission network at 400kV, 230kV and 66kV, and a distribution network at 22kV, 6.6kV and 400V. SP PowerGrid (SPPG) manages and operates the electricity transmission and distribution networks owned by SPPA. SPPG adopts state-of-the-art technology and innovations to put in place a resilient infrastructure that ensures reliable and efficient supply of electricity to customers. Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 29 Checking gas content in cable oil: Our team of highly-skilled engineers and technicians is committed to ensuring that our transmission and distribution networks run smoothly. 30 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Operational Review SP PowerGrid RELIABILITY AND EFFICIENCY: NETWORK PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS Key performance indicators for the electricity network for the year under review recorded major improvements over the same period last year. The system average interruption time, which has improved over the years, was further reduced from 4.32 minutes to 0.29 minute for the year, a significant improvement of 93% over the previous year. The number of supply interruptions, which saw continued reductions over the years, went down from 0.58 to 0.40 interruptions per 1,000 customers during the year under review, a healthy improvement of 31%. PREVENTIVE CHECKS: CONDITION MONITORING FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE SPPG’s efforts in condition monitoring continued to contribute to better performance, resulting in 55 potential failures being averted during the year. Since FY2001, a total of 255 potential failures were prevented, thus saving a repair bill of $26.4 million. WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP: IMPROVING SERVICE AND COMMUNICATION In its continual efforts to maintain close rapport with customers, SPPG organised the inaugural Power Quality Forum on 25 May 2005. The Forum, attended by customers, suppliers and retailers, provided a platform for knowledge sharing of power quality management experiences by renowned international experts. SHARING PRODUCTIVITY GAINS: GRID PRICING FURTHER REDUCED The average grid charge was reduced from 3.75 cents per kWh to 3.67 cents per kWh. This is the fourth consecutive year of price reductions to customers. High-tension customers were segmented into two new tariff categories — HT-Large (customers with monthly contracted capacity of at least 1,700kW) and HT-Small (contracted capacity of less than 1,700kW) — to better reflect the cost of service to the two groups of industrial customers. This is yet another way to help customers improve their competitiveness and make Singapore more attractive for investors. The setting up of Power Quality Interest Groups, which focus on high-technology industry sectors and provide opportunities for regular exchange of experiences and knowledge, was announced at the Forum. The Electronics & Semiconductor Power Quality Interest Group was inaugurated in October 2005, and interest groups for the Pharmaceutical and the Chemical & Petrochemical sectors will be established in the coming year. Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 31 Operational Review SP PowerGrid A high-level Power Quality Advisory Panel, led by SPPG Chairman with chief executives from industry as members, was formed for industry leaders to address power quality issues at a macro and strategic level. Customer Managers were appointed to enhance communication and working relations with SPPG’s key customers. There are about 150 key customers with whom SPPG maintains close rapport. A team of about 40 SPPG engineers visit these customers on a regular basis. REALITY CHECK: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION INDEX In the second annual customer survey conducted in December 2005, customers appraised SPPG with a customer satisfaction Work in progress at a new 400kV substation 32 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 index of 7.5 out of 10. This is a significant improvement over the 6.6 rating in the previous year, and a testimony to the significant strides made by SPPG in meeting the needs of its customers. INVESTING FOR THE FUTURE: ON-GOING NETWORK DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING The year in review saw good progress made on major 400kV and 230kV projects. Works are continuing well in the following, which are scheduled for completion in 2006 and 2007: • A 400kV substation to meet increasing electricity demand in the eastern part of Singapore; • A 230kV substation to meet anticipated demand growth in the northern part of Singapore; • The installation of a phase-shift transformer, allowing more efficient utilisation of transmission circuits to cater for additional power export from the northern part of the island; and • The installation of Time-of-Day (TOD) meters and telephone lines for some 4,700 contestable consumers under Phase 2 of the retail market liberalisation. In addition to on-going network development, major projects and initiatives in network planning were launched during the year. BREAKING NEW GROUND: 230/22KV SUBSTATION Singapore’s first substation with direct transformation from 230kV to 22kV will be installed in 2008/2009. Bypassing the 66kV voltage will result in a more efficient and reliable transportation of power to customers. The substation will serve as the primary power source for the new downtown at Marina Bay where the development will include the Integrated Resort and Business Financial Centre. ENHANCING EFFECTIVENESS: RE-ORGANISING FOR SHARPER FOCUS Organisational changes were made to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness with existing functions. The Asset Management Branch and Procurement Branch were created; and a Corporate Relations Section was established under the Corporate Services Branch. The Asset Management Branch focuses on the optimisation of lifecycle management of network assets. Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 33 Operational Review SP PowerGrid The year saw good progress made on major projects, including an undersea cable tunnel. The Procurement Branch undertakes central procurement for the entire SP Group in Singapore. Through collaborative and consolidated procurement, SP can potentially enjoy price advantages. The Corporate Relations Section is tasked to develop the overall customer management strategy, co-ordinate customer management and communications programmes, and facilitate training for Customer Managers. QUALITY HUMAN RESOURCES: A PEOPLE DEVELOPER COMPANY SPPG joined the ranks of people-centric companies certified by SPRING Singapore as having attained the People Developer Standard. This achievement in January 2006 is a testimony of SPPG’s commitment to developing its people through the adoption and implementation of quality human resource development practices. 34 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Key Network Indicators SHORTER INTERRUPTIONS System Average Interruption Time (Minutes) FEWER INTERRUPTIONS Number of Supply Interruptions per 1,000 Customers � ��� ������������������� � � � � ���� ���� ���� ���� ����� ��������������������������������� ��� ��� ��� ���� ���� ���� ���� ���� ���� � ����� ����� ����� ����� ����� ����� ���� ��� ����� ����� ����� ����� ����� ����� �������������� �������������� POWERING ECONOMIC GROWTH Real GDP vs Electricity Net Demand Growth (% Change) POWER DELIVERY Electricity Transmitted and Distributed (GWh) �� ���� ������ ��������������������� � � � � � �� ��� ��� ��� ��� ����� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ������� ���������������� ��� ������ ������ ������ ������ ������ ������ ������ ������ ������ �� �� �� �� �� �� �� � ����� ����� ����� ����� ����� ����� ������������� �������������� GWh percentage change based on Actual Sales GWh values based on Account Sales Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 35 PowerGas 36 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Operational Review management Mr John Baptist Tay Managing Director Mr Lim Song Hau Director (Network Development) Mr Tai Seng Chong Director (System Operation) Mr Chin Terk Chung Director (Network Management) Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 37 Growing Gas Networks 38 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Laying of gas transmission pipelines that will cater to future needs Operational Review PowerGas Being Singapore’s oldest and most established gas company, PowerGas has a wealth of expertise that comes from more than 140 years of serving the local gas industry. Today, PowerGas is the sole gas transporter and system operator in Singapore. It manages a transportation network of about 2,800km of transmission and distribution pipelines. INCREASING CAPACITY: TRANSMISSION NETWORK EXPANDED PowerGas commissioned the 15-km pipeline extension to Tuas Power on 27 April 2005, about one and a half months ahead of schedule. With this completion, the three major generation companies have access to two sources of natural gas supply. Further work will be carried out in 2006 to enable additional gas injection from the Tuas Pipeline into the Sakra- Senoko pipeline system. Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 39 Gas analysis checks are part of a quality control system at the natural gas facility of PowerGas. 40 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Operational Review PowerGas Another 6km of gas transmission pipeline is being constructed to transport Malaysian gas to Keppel Energy’s 500MW co-generation power plant on Jurong Island. Work started in December 2005 and is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2006. EXPANDING REACH: DISTRIBUTION AND TOWN GAS NETWORKS ENHANCED The natural gas distribution network in Jurong and Tuas was extended by about 1km to support the delivery of natural gas to industrial customers. Supply reliability will be further improved by end-2006 with the development of offtake stations in the western part of Singapore to enable additional injection points from the transmission system into the distribution network. Maintenance (left) and monitoring (below) are essential to gas supply reliability. Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 41 The Meter Testing Laboratory of PowerGas has received SAC-SINGLAS Certificate of Accreditation. 42 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Operational Review PowerGas The town gas network was extended by 16km to reach more customers in new Housing & Development Board estates, as well as private residential and commercial premises. The year also saw 13km of old pipelines renewed, and the diversion of 5km of pipelines affected by mass rapid transit extension works. PASSING THE TEST: ACCREDITATION OF METER TESTING LABORATORY The Meter Testing Laboratory of PowerGas, located at its National Gas Control Centre, was accredited under the Singapore Accreditation Council-Singapore Laboratory Accreditation Scheme. It received its Certificate of Accreditation on 9 May 2005. With this accreditation, the laboratory can test meters up to a capacity of five cubic metres per hour, and verify the meters’ accuracy to international standards. GEARING UP: THE NEW GAS INDUSTRY FRAMEWORK Under the new gas industry framework, PowerGas will be the sole transporter and gas system operator (GSO). It will own and operate the onshore gas transportation network, which includes the pipelines currently owned and operated by SembCorp Gas Pte Ltd. The interconnection of the existing network of PowerGas and that of SembCorp Gas is being studied by the Energy Market Authority (EMA). The new industry framework will enable an open-access gas transportation network in a multi-shipper, multi-retailer market environment. The Gas Network Code was approved by the EMA in October 2005. Work is continuing by the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Industry Working Group to develop SOPs. These will enable close co-ordination between the Transporter/GSO, shippers, end-users and Power System Operator under various operating scenarios, including contingency operations under the Gas Network Code framework. To meet the requirements of the Gas Network Code and SOPs, PowerGas is developing the Gas Transportation System Solution, a web-based IT system. It will facilitate gas nominations by shippers, as well as scheduling and the balancing of gas injections and withdrawals in the transportation network.

At the Heart of Customer Service 46 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Operational Review SP Services SP Services provides a convenient one-stop customer service for electricity, water, piped gas supplies and refuse collection in Singapore. It is also the Market Support Services Licensee in the New Electricity Market, enabling a smooth and seamless operation of the competitive electricity market for the benefit of consumers and the industry as a whole. SP Services provides services such as meter reading and data management, and facilitates consumer registration and transfers from one retailer to another. It also provides other utilities support services such as billing and payment collection on behalf of SP PowerGrid (SPPG) and other utility service providers. These include the Public Utilities Board (PUB), City Gas and various refuse collection companies. Leveraging on its experience in consolidated billing and payment collection, SP Services provides an efficient and convenient service for every home and business in Singapore. SURPASSING BENCHMARKS: SERVICE QUALITY SP Services views feedback and suggestions from principals and customers as critical to further improvements. In line with this focus, in the last quarter of 2005, it conducted a comprehensive Customer Satisfaction Survey of 800 customers who were randomly selected. Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 47 Operational Review SP Services SP Services’ branch at Woodlands Civic Centre was recently renovated and is one of our initiatives to go the extra mile for our customers. The survey results were very good — 83% of the customers surveyed were satisfied with SP Services. The high rating also placed SP Services ahead of five other major service providers in Singapore that were chosen as benchmarks for comparison. The survey also helped SP Services identify areas for improvement. SP Services’ commitment towards service excellence is also shown in its service level performance. It exceeded all the regulated service levels and also introduced several new initiatives to boost service quality. THE EXTRA MILE: NEW INITIATIVES IN SERVICE EXCELLENCE Providing quality service and greater convenience for its customers continued to be the focus of SP Services. The year under review saw the launch of several new customer service initiatives. SP Services successfully launched the Pay- As-You-Use (PAYU) metering scheme on 16 May 2005. As at 31 March 2006, some 9,000 customers have signed up for the prepaid metering scheme. The scheme enables customers to better manage their consumption while paying their arrears over a period of time. In another customer service initiative, SP Services partnered DBS Bank to launch the POSB Everyday Card on 30 September 2005. Customers can pay their utility bills conveniently and, at the same time, enjoy a wide array of benefits. These include instant cash rebates, ranging from 1% to 20%. The cash rebates in the form of Daily$ can be used to offset 48 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 payment for items such as utilities, petrol, groceries as well as cable television and mobile phone charges. Customers who pay their utility bills through the POSB Everyday Card enjoy a 1% cash rebate on their utility payment. Given the company’s continuous efforts to improve service to customers, SP Services teamed up with the 7-Eleven convenience store chain to introduce a new payment mode. Since 12 December 2005, customers have been able to pay their utility bills at any of the more than 300 7-Eleven stores island-wide at any time of the day, and night, using cash, NETS or CashCard. The service has been well-received by customers. (Smile, Timely, Accessible, Reliable) service guidelines and customer servicing skills. All frontline staff went through customised programmes to acquaint or refresh themselves with the STAR service and to learn new service skills. SP Services was awarded the People Developer Standard in May 2005. The award recognises that SP Services has adopted sound, effective strategies on staff development. The PAYU metering scheme helps customers better manage their utility consumption. SP Services introduced a new common utility enquiry hotline — 1800-2222 333 — for the convenience of customers who call the various utility service providers. This initiative is a joint effort of SP Services, SPPG, PUB and City Gas. Customers who call the billing enquiry hotline are routed to SP Services, SPPG, PUB or City Gas, depending on the nature of their enquiries. ESSENCE OF EXCELLENCE: OUR PEOPLE AND OUR PROCESSES SP Services obtained its ISO 9001:2000 certification in July 2004. A surveillance audit by external assessors conducted in February 2006 affirmed that SP Services had continued to comply with the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) certification standards. SP Services is committed to developing its staff, firmly believing that a trained and skilled workforce will enable the company to meet the challenges ahead. During the year, it provided 91 training hours per person for all levels of staff. PLAYING AN INTEGRAL ROLE: ELECTRICITY MARKET DEREGULATION SP Services continued to play an integral role in expanding the liberalisation of the electricity market. During the year, more contestable consumer accounts were activated, bringing the total number of contestable customers to 9,264 as at 31 March 2006. These consumers can choose to buy electricity from retailers, or directly or indirectly from the wholesale electricity market. In 2005, the company collaborated with its training partner to develop and roll out a series of service skills training programmes incorporating the Strategic Service Intent STAR Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 49 50 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Operational Review Singapore Power Overseas SP envisions itself becoming a leading energy player in the Asia-Pacific region. We have a strong presence in Australia through SP AusNet, which was publicly-listed in 2005, and investments in South Korea and Taiwan. Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 51 SP AusNet 52 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Operational Review management Mr Nino Ficca Managing Director Mr Charles Popple General Manager (Regulatory & Business Strategy) Mr Paul Adams General Manager (Network Services Group) Mr John Azaris General Manager (Human Resources & Communications) Mr Norm Drew General Manager (Transmission Network Development) Mr Peter Merritt General Manager (Business Systems & Services) Mr Peter Buck General Manager (Distribution Network Development) Mr Adrian Hill Director (Strategic Projects) Mr Terry Fowler General Manager (Finance) Ms Elizabeth Mildwater General Counsel & Company Secretary Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 53 New Phase for SP in Australia 54 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Operational Review SP AusNet The past year certainly brought many changes to SP’s Australian arm, SP AusNet, culminating in its dual public listing in Australia and Singapore. Leading up to this, the merchant energy business was divested, and the electricity transmission business and the electricity and gas distribution businesses integrated. These changes herald a new era for the Australian energy sector, and a new phase for SP in Australia. SP AusNet, which has an ”A1” rating from Moody’s and an “A” rating from Standard & Poor’s, is the largest combined electricity transmission and electricity and gas distribution business in Australia. It is 51% owned by Singapore Power International Pte Ltd, a whollyowned subsidiary of SP, following SP AusNet’s Initial Public Offering (IPO). SPI Management Services Pty Ltd (whollyowned by SP) performs management services for SP AusNet under a management services agreement. The business transition this past year was comprehensive and beneficial, and the focus on extracting and capitalising on the synergies of bringing together the network businesses proved fruitful. SP AusNet is committed to ensuring that equipment remain in the best working order. Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 55 SP AusNet provides electricity to over one million homes in Victoria. 56 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Operational Review SP AusNet A new integrated business structure and the market launch of a new brand name, SP AusNet, was just the beginning of a hectic and successful year, with the highlights of the SP AusNet calendar being its IPO in November 2005 and the start of trading in Australia and Singapore the following month. The strong local management team has a wealth of experience in running the company, and SP AusNet — situated in four of the five growth corridors in Victoria — has strong organic growth potential, contributing to its asset base and regulated revenue streams. GOING REGIONAL: NATURAL GAS EXTENSION PROGRAMME A A$40 million natural gas extension programme for the supply of natural gas to 12 regional towns across the west of the State was rolled out. This programme could potentially see up to 15,000 properties having access to natural gas for the first time. The construction programme, which began in March 2005, constitutes six discrete projects with a total of 12 towns to be reticulated by the end of 2007. When completed, SP AusNet will own and operate the new gas infrastructure. By the close of 2005, the first connection was completed in Creswick, with work underway in the towns of Gisborne, New Gisborne, Macedon, Port Fairy, and Woodend. Connections in all of these towns are due for completion by the end of 2006. In 2007, the towns of Barwon Heads, Camperdown, Lancefield, Maiden Gully, Riddells Creek and Romsey will follow. These first-stage works have increased SP AusNet’s regulated gas asset base by 131km of mains and eight major regulating facilities. These, in turn, position SP AusNet to extend the network in each town as further growth occurs. Planning for the rollout of the natural gas infrastructure was carried out in consultation with a wide spectrum of stakeholders, including Regional Development Victoria, local communities, environmental agencies and councils. Delivery of natural gas to regional areas benefits the local communities through lower energy costs, and drives future investment and employment growth. NETWORK EXPANDS: ELECTRICITY CONNECTIONS IN GROWTH CORRIDORS Many regions across SP AusNet’s operating area have benefited from the expansion and development of the electricity distribution network to support social and economic infrastructure activities. Near the northern border town of Wodonga, the establishment of a large distribution centre for a major retail company called for SP AusNet to install a new zone substation. In the rural east, the expansion of manufacturing plants and industrial estates resulted in network augmentations in Leongatha, Morwell, Sale, Traralgon and Warragul. Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 57 Operational Review SP AusNet Closer to Melbourne, the network’s capacity was boosted to meet the growing demand of manufacturing plants at Monbulk and Rowville as well as the growth in population in the northern and south-eastern growth corridors. New connections were made for urban residential customers in the northern metropolitan corridor (Epping, Mernda, Doreen and South Morang) and the south-eastern corridor of Cranbourne, Pakenham, Berwick and Narre Warren. A marked increase in the energy required to power upgraded water and sewerage infrastructure in growth corridors led to distribution network upgrades in the northern Melbourne growth corridor and, regionally, at Morwell. One area of Victoria state requiring both network upgrades and new connections is South Gippsland where Wonthaggi, Inverloch, Lakes Entrance and several other coastal towns have benefited from the sea-change phenomenon that is driving growth in all sectors. This phenomenon refers to the growing shift in population to the coast. In December 2005, SP AusNet was successful in a competitive tendering process for two major transmission network augmentation projects at Rowville and Moorabool. The two competitive contracts were awarded by VENCorp, the Victorian energy system planner, and are intended to support load growth in Victoria’s metropolitan and regional areas. SP AusNet will provide natural gas to twelve new Victorian towns by end of 2007. 58 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 Operational Review Asia Investments in Asia SPI SEOSAN CO-GENERATION AND WATER TREATMENT, SOUTH KOREA SP’s investment in South Korea comprises a co-generation plant of 92MW and a water treatment plant of 840 tons/hour. The Seosan industrial utilities complex provides electricity, steam and water treatment services to Samsung Total Petrochemicals Co Ltd, one of the largest petrochemical companies in the country. The utilities complex continued to provide reliable services to Samsung Total during the year. It achieved 100% availability in the supply of water and steam, and 99.9% availability in electricity supply. The complex also completed on schedule a major overhaul in conjunction with the petrochemical complex turnaround in June 2005. The Seosan complex achieved a good safety record, meeting the zero lost time incident standard mandated by Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency. EVER POWER, TAIWAN SP’s investment in Taiwan comprises a 25% stake in Ever Power IPP Company, an independent power producer, which operates a 960MW combined-cycle power generation plant. The power plant supplies electricity to Taiwan Power Company. During FY2005, Ever Power continued to maintain good availability, meeting the dispatch requirements of Taiwan Power Company. Ever Power also achieved good profitability and maintained a consistent dividend payout to shareholders. The Seosan industrial utilities complex continued to provide reliable services to Samsung Total during the year.

Leading-edge training technology was utilised for more effective and “just-in-time” learning. Three new e-learning courses were developed in-house during the year to provide customised training on the Customer Management System. Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 61 Our People, Our Community Right: Our scholarship programme provides us with a growing talent pool. Extreme right: Fostering Union- Management relations through regular dialogue We continued to expand our talent pool through our scholarship programme. A total of five scholarships, three for local universities and two for overseas universities, were awarded in the year. Upon completion of their university studies, our graduating scholars join us as Management Associates and are exposed to different functional areas within the Group. Other leadership training programmes are also provided — such as job rotation across the subsidiaries, specialised courses and challenging assignments on strategic initiatives. Union-Management Relations A strong partnership exists between the Union of Power and Gas Employees (UPAGE) and Management. The Union-Management Seminar held in Kuching in September 2005 is testimony to the efforts made to foster greater understanding between UPAGE and Management. With the support of the Union, SP was able to carry through many initiatives and changes. Working in close liaison with UPAGE, SP participated in the launch on 7 February 2006 of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) initiative on the employability of mature workers. Two colleagues who were on re-employment after retirement, Mr Lim Ah Kok and Mr Nadaison Pookays, were featured in an NTUC video presentation. SP’s initiative on employability of mature workers was also featured in Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao, and on Channel 5’s news bulletin. Keeping In Touch, Engaging Our People An Employee Opinion Survey was conducted as part of our continuing efforts to engage our staff. Results of the survey and follow-up action plans were shared with the staff at the Management Annual Plan 2006. The year under review also saw the introduction of the Singapore Power ACE (Appreciation for Commitment and Excellence) Award. Aimed at motivating staff to continue to excel and strive for improvements, the award recognises SP staff who have displayed outstanding work performance, made significant contributions outside their scope of work, and exhibited exemplary conduct and work attitude. 62 Singapore Power Annual Report 2005 The Wellness Award was introduced during the year to reward employees who do not take any medical leave for a calendar year.

A traffic marshal directing a lorry along the special access road off the Central Expressway. Temporary roads pave way to safety A traffic marshal guiding pupils from Hong Wen School across a zebra crossing. Singapore Power has taken various safety measures, including deploying traffic marshals and building special access roads, in some areas where it is putting in deep underground tunnels to upgrade the island’s power infrastructure. ST PHOTOS: STEFFI KOH SingPower acts to prevent accidents during network upgrading project By JANICE TAI TWO temporary roads linked to expressways have been built to allow heavy vehicles to turn off directly into construction sites, bypassing schools and residential areas. The 200m-long special access roads, which cost $4 million, are among safety measures adopted by Singapore Power as it undertakes a $2 billion project to upgrade the island’s power network. The precautions, put in place especially for young children, come in the wake of a rise in fatalities from accidents involving heavy vehicles. There were 44 such deaths last year, up by about 40 per cent from 32 in 2012. Last year, a concrete mixer truck knocked down and killed two young brothers in Tampines, leading to much public outcry. In January, a motorcyclist was decapitated after his bike collided with a tipper truck in Tuas. Singapore Power began construction work on a 35km network of deep underground tunnels to house electricity cables last year. Eighteen worksites were set up across the island to build the tunnels. Two sites – in May Road and Kallang – were found to have high human traffic. “When we first started on the project, we were concerned when we saw schoolchildren sitting on the sides of the road and their parents parking,” Mr Michael Chin, Singapore Power’s managing director of special projects, told The Straits Times yesterday, referring to the May Road site. “So we decided to go beyond established industry practices for safety to minimise any risk,” he added. Singapore Power said it consulted the community and built an extra lane to the Central Expressway in the city-bound direction before May Road site CTE TOWNER ROAD Hong Wen School Source: Singapore Power May Road construction site MAY ROAD Only for heavy vehicles Previous vehicle access Whampoa Canal ST GRAPHICS the Balestier Road exit. This allows heavy vehicles to enter and exit the May Road construction site without taking the narrow roads around Hong Wen School and the residential neighbourhood around McNair Road, Towner Road and May Road. This road opened in May. Earlier in January, another road Kallang site Kolam Ayer CC Previous vehicle access GEYLANG BAHRU Kallang construction site GEYLANG BAHRU LANE PIE Access for all vehicles KALLANG SECTOR ST GRAPHICS was created off the slip road alongside the Pan-Island Expressway, in the direction of Bendemeer in Geylang Bahru. Construction vehicles now do not drive through Geylang Bahru and Geylang Bahru Lane, or around Kallang Basin Swimming Complex, to enter or exit the Kallang site. The Land Transport Authority said it does not track the number of temporary roads created for easier access to construction sites. The Straits Times understands that such a practice is not new, though most of the temporary roads built so far were aimed at easing congestion. For example, an access road to a controversial foreign worker dormitory in Serangoon Gardens was built in 2009 so that buses transporting the workers do not wind through the estate, which already has congestion problems. Besides building the two new access roads, Singapore Power also deploys traffic marshals at nearby schools and conducts road safety talks for the students. Heavy vehicle traffic during school peak hours is restricted and barricades are installed to prevent jaywalking around the construction sites. Retiree Lee Hee Ying, 64, said she makes it a point to walk her nine-year-old grandson to school every day. “It used to be scary to see all the big vehicles passing by, so it is more reassuring now with all the safety measures in place,” she said in Mandarin. Her grandson attends Hong Wen School. For site supervisor Dave Chew, 51, who has lived in the May Road area for about 30 years, the new roads also ease traffic congestion. “It’s not only about safety as the roads used to be packed with cars of parents and heavy vehicles, but now the flow is much smoother,” he said. jantai@sph.com.sg
