16 June 2020 FACTSHEET Households’ Electricity Consumption During the Circuit-Breaker Period Singapore households’ electricity consumption typically increases from April through August. This is because the weather tends to be hotter in these months, and households use more electricity to power their fans or air-conditioners to stay cool. 2 During the Circuit Breaker (CB) period, most Singaporeans have been staying, working, or studying from home. This, coupled with the hotter weather, has led to higher electricity usage as well. For example, we saw an average increase of 22% in daily household electricity consumption in May 2020, compared to February 2020. How Households Are Billed During the Circuit-Breaker Period 3 Under normal circumstances, SP Group will send meter readers to visit households to record their electricity, water and gas consumption every alternate month. From 7 April to 1 June 2020, SP Group suspended physical meter reading services in line with the safe distancing measures to minimise the transmission of Covid-19. 4 For households who do not have advanced electricity meters and also did not submit their own meter readings, their April and May consumption were estimated based on previous months’ consumption data. This would result in an underestimation of their bills for these months. When SP Group resumed its pre-CB physical meter reading routine from 2 June 2020, the accumulated underestimated amount of consumption will be adjusted in the June or July bill. Therefore, the June or July utility bills could be higher than the April and May bills. See below for the illustration. Illustration: For consumers whose electricity meters are read during odd months Page 1 of 3 5 About 300,000 households have advanced electricity meters, and their electricity consumption is read remotely. They would be billed based on their actual consumption for April and May. Support to Households 6 As part of the Budget 2020 Care and Support Package, eligible HDB households will receive double their regular GST Voucher U-Save this year, through a one-off GST Voucher U-Save Special Payment. Eligible households with five or more members will receive an additional GST Voucher – U-Save rebate. The next round of disbursement of the regular GST Voucher U-Save rebate and GST Voucher U-Save Special Payment will be in July 2020. The first disbursement of the additional GST Voucher U-Save rebate for eligible larger households with five or more members will be in October 2020. For more information, visit www.gstvoucher.gov.sg. 7 As part of the recently announced Fortitude Budget, each household with at least one Singapore Citizen will receive a one-off $100 Solidarity Utilities Credit for doing their part in staying home during the CB period. This amount will be credited in the July or August utilities bill with SP Group and covers all property types. 8 In support of the Government’s Resilience Budget 2020 measures to freeze all government fees and charges for one year, SP Group has deferred grid charges amounting to S$343 million and maintained its grid fee to customers. What Households Can Do to Be Billed According to Actual Consumption 9 Households are encouraged to submit their own meter readings so as to be billed based on their actual consumption. 10 They can submit their meter readings via the following channels: a) SP Utilities app - Download the app from spgrp.sg/mobileapp. Go to “Explore” and select “Submit Meter”. b) SP Utilities Portal - Log on to SP Utilities Portal at spgrp.sg/UPortal. Go to “Usage” and select “Submit Meter Readings”. c) WhatsApp - Take a photo of the meter (with the meter number and meter reading clearly shown) and send to 8482 8636. d) Email – Email the meter readings to customerreading@spgroup.com.sg. e) Automated Phone System – Call 1800 222 2333 to submit meter readings via the automated option. Page 2 of 3 11 Households can refer to their SP bills for their meter submission period (refer to image below). They can submit their meter readings up to three days (by 5pm) from the scheduled meter reading date. For those who have downloaded the SP Utilities app, they can also set an alert for their meter reading submission period. Page 3 of 3

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

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

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

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.

| SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 2020 | THE STRAITS TIMES | B11 2x INCREASE IN F&B/RETAIL SMEs THAT HAVE EARNED PRODUCTIVITY SOLUTIONS GRANTS B12 Adjustments to be made to meet change in demand for gas Town gas demand set to fall in heartland, rise across S’pore as economy reopens: SP Group Choo Yun Ting Utilities firm SP Group will be adjusting the gas transmission and distribution network over the next few weeks in the light of changing gas demands as Singapore enters phase two of its reopening. It expects that demand for town gas will fall in the heartland and rise across the island as food and beverage outlets resume walk- in operations, shops reopen and more people go back to work on- site. Mr Alex Yeo, the section head who manages the gas system control centre in Senoko, noted that sensors in the gas network will alert engineers to changes in demand so that supply can be re- calibrated. There was a 10 per cent overall fall in demand for town gas during the circuit breaker, largely due to the closure of some commercial and industrial operations, SP Group said. However, a spike in peak demand was observed during lunch and dinner hours, with more residents staying at home and cooking meals than before Covid- 19 hit. The typical lunch peak was from about 11am to 2pm, while the dinner high was from 5pm to 8pm. Gas consumption is typically “very low” in the wee hours from midnight to 5am, Mr Yeo added. Town gas is mainly used for cooking and heating by residential and commercial users. There was also a notable shift in demand from areas that typically see heavier loads, such as the city centre and Changi Airport, towards the heartland and high- density neighbourhoods like Punggol and Sengkang. This led the operator to implement its current strategy, which involves increasing the gas pressures within the transmission and distribution network for residential and industrial customers. It also installed additional sensors along the network between February and early March so it could better monitor load demand during the coronavirus pandemic. Simulations were conducted as well to make sure the new strategy was effective before it was implemented in early April. It has since been fine- tuned to meet changing consumer demand over the past two months, such as during the fasting month of Ramadan where there was a sharper peak in the evenings. Further adjustments are ahead: A member of the SP Group gas operations team at an offtake station conducting checks on the gas regulators.

The typical lunch peak was from about 11am to 2pm, while the dinner high was from 5pm to 8pm. With students headed back to school full time from June 29 and more workers likely to return to the office, a redistribution of residential demand for town gas is expected. Additional tweaks will be made to the network strategy as data is collected on changes in demand. Mr Yeo, who oversees staff who operate three eight- hour shifts around the clock at the control centre, said most adjustments to the offtake station are made remotely from the centre and indicators such as gas flow rates can be monitored in real time from there as well. Technicians and engineers conduct monthly physical checks on the equipment at offtake stations. While the operator is used to adjusting according to demand – for example, festive seasons such as Ramadan and Chinese New Year mean a spike in gas usage around meal hours – the changes due to the coronavirus pandemic are different, with sharper peaks during meal hours. “It is a very delicate process, because we have to monitor (the changes) closely and every response has to be fine- tuned along the way,” said Mr Yeo. yuntingc@sph.com.sg
