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

New app for monitoring utilities usage A new mobile application was launched yesterday to help residents monitor their energy and water consumption at home. The free application is part of a joint pilot scheme involving SP Services, a subsidiary of Singapore Power, the Energy Market Authority (EMA) and PUB. It is available to about 310,000 consumers who registered for an online SP utilities account by Sept 15 last year, said SP Services, EMA and PUB in a joint statement. The pilot scheme runs from this month to April this year. The app can be downloaded from the iTunes or Google Play Store and eligible users will be informed via e-mail by Jan 16. The app allows users to check the estimated utilities usage of their appliances at home and find out which are consuming the most energy and water. The app will also provide tips on how to save energy and water. SP Services said it will look at the results from the pilot scheme before rolling out the application nationwide.

SP Group bina substesen bawah tanah berskala besar pertama di Asia Tenggara KEMUDAHAN BAWAH TANAH: Apabila siap nanti, substesen bawah tanah yang terletak di Labrador itu akan memenuhi keperluan elektrik kawasan berdekatan seperti Alexandra, Clementi, Keppel, Pasir Panjang dan kawasan Science Park. – Foto SP GROUP SYARIKAT elektrik dan gas SP Group sedang membina substesen bawah tanah berskala besar pertama di Asia Tenggara yang terletak di Labrador. Dengan membina kemudahan itu di bawah tanah, langkah ini akan menjimatkan ruang di atas tanah yang seluas tiga hektar, kata kumpulan itu dalam satu kenyataan semalam. Tiga hektar ialah seluas empat padang bola sepak. Di atas substesen bawah tanah itu, satu pembangunan setinggi 34 tingkat akan dibina. Apabila siap nanti, substesen 230 kilovolt yang terletak di Labrador itu akan memenuhi keperluan elektrik kawasan berdekatan seperti Alexandra, Clementi, Keppel, Pasir Panjang dan kawasan Science Park. Kumpulan itu juga mengumumkan semalam ia telah memberikan kontrak pembinaan substesen itu kepada kontraktor utama Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co. Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif SP Group, Encik Stanley Huang, berkata: “Dalam perniagaan kami yang membolehkan masa depan rendah karbon serta bijak dari segi tenaga, kami sedang membina infrastruktur yang lestari dan berdaya tahan. “Ini sejajar dengan rancangan pembaharuan bandar Singapura dan SDG (Matlamat Pembangunan Mampan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu) kami sendiri bagi memastikan akses kepada tenaga yang boleh dipercayai, mampan serta moden bagi semua dan memanfaatkan inovasi untuk membina prasarana yang lestari.” Syarikat itu juga menarik perhatian kerja membina substesen bawah tanah itu akan memerlukan lebih banyak sumber serta keupayaan kejuruteraan yang lebih pakar, berbanding membinanya di atas tanah. Ini disebabkan keperluan menggunakan bahan dan peralatan yang sesuai bagi sekitaran di bawah tanah. Sebagai contoh, kajian kejuruteraan yang terperinci dan kaedah pembinaan yang sesuai perlu dilaksana untuk mengawal kesannya kepada bangunan di sekeliling. Namun, faedah jangka panjang membina substesen bawah tanah mengatasi kosnya, kata SP Group. Selain memanfaatkan sumber tanah bagi tujuan lain, substesen bawah tanah mempunyai risiko lebih rendah didedahkan kepada bahaya dan kerosakan. “Ini akan meningkatkan keselamatan aset dan rangkaian,” kata SP Group. Kumpulan itu berkata ia akan memanfaatkan pengalamannya dalam membina terowong kabel elektrik bawah tanah di serata Singapura sebelum ini dalam membina substesen bawah tanah itu. “Dengan pelajaran dan pengalaman yang diraih daripada projek ini, kami boleh meneroka kemungkinan membina lebih banyak substesen di bawah tanah,” kata Encik Huang. Substesen bawah tanah itu merupakan sebahagian daripada Pelan Induk 2019 bawah tanah Penguasa Pembangunan Semula Bandar (URA). Substesen dan bangunan komersial yang akan dibina itu dijadual siap pada 2024.

SP Group eyes more links with region to tap clean power NEW YORK • Singapore’s stateowned power grid operator wants to build more connections to neighbouring countries to tap their greater potential for renewable energy. Countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia have ample spare land for solar panels and enough wind to power turbines, both things that Singapore is lacking, SP Group chief executive Wong Kim Yin said in an interview recently. Building transmission lines to connect the countries and using renewable energy credits to facilitate power trading can allow the island nation to use clean power even if it cannot produce it. “One of the possible ways of tapping renewable resources is actually working with our neighbours,” Mr Wong said on Bloomberg Television. “Some physical regional interconnects will help Singapore in that department.” Singapore faces two challenges in getting more green power. The first is that producing clean energy for its densely populated urban areas requires a large amount of open land, a problem shared by grids globally as they Source: The Straits Times © Singapore Press Holdings Limited. Permission required for reproduction. SP Group’s underground transmission cable tunnel system that brings electricity to consumers. The power grid operator is looking to build transmission lines to neighbouring countries and using renewable energy credits for power trading to obtain green power for Singapore’s use. ST PHOTO: ONG WEE JIN seek more carbon-free electricity. The second, which is unique to its city-state status, is that its borders are national boundaries. The idea of connecting power plants and customers across Southeast Asia has been pursued for more than 20 years, but stymied by issues including lack of government coordination and infrastructure funding. However, that could be changing. Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing last Tuesday included regional power grids as one of four measures that Singapore will explore to help decarbonise its power sector, which is almost entirely reliant on imported natural gas. Also last week, Malaysian Energy Minister Yeo Bee Yin said that the country is in discussions with Singapore on cross-border power supplies, and expects to complete 550MW of new grid connection capacity this year and a similar amount next year. Mr Wong said that legislation limits the use of Singapore and Malaysia’s existing power connections to only emergencies. A bilateral government agreement could immediately allow trading across those lines and start a movement towards wider international connections, he added. Malaysia already has links to Thailand, which is also connected to Laos, so eventually Singapore could invest in hydropower dams in Laos and use renewable energy credits to receive the same amount of electricity from Malaysia, he said. Even if the power Singapore receives is not necessarily generated by renewables, the net effect for the region would be more carbonfree electricity. Mr Wong also discussed a few other green proposals. SP Group is trying to speed up the transition to electric vehicles in Singapore by building 1,000 charging stations by the end of next year, from about 200 now. The company is focusing on large fleet owners, as electric vehicles are more cost-efficient than traditional ones, even without subsidies, if they travel at least 80km daily, Mr Wong said. In the long run, technologies including nuclear fusion and hydrogen might be able to provide more carbon-free energy for Singapore, Mr Wong added. He sees them as potential options in 15 years or more, but both need more development to make them safer and cost effective. BLOOMBERG

MEDIA RELEASE ELECTRICITY TARIFF REVISION FOR THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY TO 31 MARCH 2022 Singapore, 30 December 2021 – For the period from 1 January to 31 March 2022, electricity tariff (before 7% GST) will increase by an average of 5.6% or 1.33 cents per kWh compared with the previous quarter. The increase this quarter is due to higher fuel costs. Around 95% of Singapore’s electricity is generated using imported natural gas at prices indexed to oil prices. Over the past few months, a confluence of recovering economic activity, severe weather events, and a series of gas production outages have sent global energy market prices significantly higher. These factors have raised electricity prices in many markets. For details on the components of the electricity tariff, please refer to Appendix 1: Breakdown of Electricity Tariff. For households, the electricity tariff (before 7% GST) will increase from 24.11 to 25.44 cents per kWh for 1 January to 31 March 2022. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in HDB fourroom flats will increase by $4.70 (before 7% GST) (Appendix 3: Average monthly electricity bills of domestic consumers). *before 7% GST SP Group reviews the electricity tariffs every quarter based on guidelines set by the electricity industry regulator, Energy Market Authority (EMA). The tariffs shown in Appendix 2 have been approved by EMA. Issued by: SP Group 2 Kallang Sector Singapore 349277 www.spgroup.com.sg Appendix 1 BREAKDOWN OF ELECTRICITY TARIFF 1. The electricity tariff consists of the following four components: a) 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. b) Network costs (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the cost of transporting electricity through the power grid. c) Market Support Services Fee (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the costs of billing and meter reading, data management, retail market systems as well as market development initiatives. d) 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.
