Media Release Electricity Tariff Revision for the Period 1 April to 30 June 2022 Singapore, 31 March 2022 – For the period from 1 April to 30 June 2022, electricity tariff (before 7% GST) will increase by an average of 9.9% or 2.49 cents per kWh compared with the previous quarter. The increase is mainly due to higher energy cost arising from significantly higher 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 25.44 to 27.94 cents per kWh for 1 April to 30 June 2022. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in HDB four-room flats will increase by $8.73 (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: Energy costs (paid to the generation companies): This component is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the cost of fuel and power generation. The fuel cost is the cost of imported natural gas, which is tied to oil prices by commercial contracts. The cost of power generation covers mainly the costs of operating the power stations, such as the manpower and maintenance costs, as well as the capital cost of the stations. Network costs (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the cost of transporting electricity through the power grid. Market Support Services Fee (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the costs of billing and meter reading, data management, retail market systems as well as market development initiatives. Market Administration and Power System Operation Fee (paid to Energy Market Company and Power System Operator): This fee is reviewed annually to recover the costs of operating the electricity wholesale market and power system.   Q2 2022 TARIFF (before 7% GST) Appendix 2 ELECTRICITY TARIFFS FROM 1 APRIL 2022 Appendix 3 AVERAGE MONTHLY ELECTRICITY BILLS OF DOMESTIC CUSTOMERS TARIFF WEF 1 APRIL 2022 (before 7% GST)

This charge varies for different load requirements and is categorised as follows: [a) Development Without Substation The service connection charge comprises the cost based on requirement in kVA of tapping supply from both the High Tension [HT) and LT networks, which includes the cost of service cables. For individual consumers without substations, the cost of LT service cable for the same capacity may vary widely depending on their locations with respect to the nearest LT mains. These consumers are not the sole beneficiaries of the extension of the LT network. To achieve a greater degree of equity in terms of cost for these general consumers, a standard cost approach is adopted by grouping consumers with similar supply requirements. The average global cost per kVA is determined based on past statistics. For example, this category of consumers which comprises mainly landed residential owners applying for the same applied load, will pay the same standard connection charge regardless of the location of their premises from the existing LT network. [b) Development With Substation The service connection charge comprises the cost based on requirement in kVA of tapping supply from the HT network and the cost of service cable. The cost of tapping supply from the HT network refers to the cost of cables and consumables used in setting up a new distribution substation. It excludes the cost of shared network assets such as switchgear, transformer and HT network cables. The cost is spread to all new consumers proportionally on a per kVA basis. For consumers with substations, their supply intake point is usually adjacent to the substation, which requires a service cable of approximately 15m in most instances. Therefore, the standard cost of service cable is computed based on a length of 15m. Consumers shall pay the additional cost for service cable exceeding 15m. In addition, consumers shall also pay for those dedicated assets, such as switchgear and transformers, which are serving them and do not benefit others.

For longer lengths, additional charges shall apply. Standard charges are only applicable to consumers who are connected to the shared network. Standard charges are not applicable to consumers where the network extension is unlikely to be shared by others. Some of these include supply to HDB premises, premises involving installation of bigger capacity cable in order to overcome the excessive voltage drop, temporary work sites, public installations and offshore island premises. These consumers will be required to pay for the full connection network cost, based on user-pay principle, as they are the main beneficiaries. B2 Service Connection Charges for HT, EHT and UHT Supply Consumers taking HT, EHT and UHT supply shall pay the cost of the service connections to their intake equipment including cables, associated equipment and facilities to effect the connection of consumers’ equipment to SPPA’s substation/network. The service connection shall cater for single contingency. Consumers requesting for additional level of contingency that exceeds the single contingency standard are required to pay for the full cost of such provision. B3 Dedicated Network/Substation The developer or consumer shall pay the full cost of all associated equipment and facilities under a dedicated network/substation scheme for which the network capacity is intended to serve the developer’s development or consumer’s premise(s) exclusively. A substation comprises land, building, electrical equipment and associated cables. A substation which serves a development or premise has to be provided and paid for by the developer or consumer. As the capacity of electrical equipment is lumpy, the substation may have excess capacity. The developer or consumer will carry the cost of this excess capacity which cannot be avoided. As this substation is required to serve mainly the development’s or consumer’s load, it is considered a dedicated substation. To reduce cost, a developer or consumer can choose to let SPPA bear the cost of the electrical equipment and associated cables, thus making the network/substation a nondedicated one. In return, SPPA must be allowed to allocate the excess capacity to other consumers. Even after the excess capacity is allocated, SPPA shall return the capacity to the developer or consumer if his demand grows later provided existing allocated capacity to other consumers can be diverted. The latter provision shall also apply to the decommissioning of the substation. At present, most substations provided by developers or consumers are non-dedicated substations.

A flat per kWh UOS rate is levied at each metered intake supply point. These are consumers who choose to buy electricity from SP Group at the regulated tariff. 2.2 Low Tension Large Consumer LT Supplies to these contestable consumers are metered on energy (kWh) on a halfhourly time-of-day basis. The respective per kWh charges shall be levied at a “Peak” and an “Off-peak” period for the energy supplied at each metered intake supply point. 2.2.1 Peak Period Charge The Peak Period Charge payable shall be the monthly charge based on the energy (in kWh) supplied to an installation during the peak period, 7.00 am to 11.00 pm, in that month. 2.2.2 Off-Peak Period Charge The Off-Peak Period Charge payable shall be the monthly charge based on the energy (in kWh) supplied to an installation during the off-peak period, 11.00 pm to 7.00 am, in that month. 3 High Tension, Extra-High Tension and Ultra-High Tension Supplies For HT (i.e. HT Small and HT Large), EHT and UHT Supplies, UOS Charges shall be levied at each metered intake supply point as follows : a. Contracted Capacity Charge; b. Peak Period Charge; c. Off-peak Period Charge; d. Reactive Power Charge; e. Uncontracted Capacity Charge, and f. Uncontracted Standby Capacity Charge (applicable to consumers with embedded generation who opt to cap their power demand drawn from the network). 3.1 Contracted Capacity Charge 3.1.1 The Contracted Capacity Charge is a monthly charge payable in any month for the Contracted Capacity at each intake supply point of a consumer. The Contracted Capacity shall be the supply capacity (in kW), which is requested by the consumer for that intake supply point. For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to paragraph 3.1.3 herein, the consumer shall not be allowed to reduce the declared Contracted Capacity upon the signing of the Consumer Connection Agreement / Supply Agreement, notwithstanding the fact that the energisation of the new supply has still not taken place. 3.1.2 For a new connection, consumers are subject to a binding period of 5 years from the target date or the commissioning date for SPPA’s plant and equipment, except for the service cable, whichever is later. During the 5-year binding period, no reduction to the Contracted Capacity is allowed. For new HT, EHT and UHT connections, the minimum Contracted Capacity for each intake supply point is as follows : HT with 1 or 2 feeders HT with 3 or 4 feeders EHT UHT 1,700 kW, 12,751 kW, 25,501 kW, 85,000 kW. During the first year of the 5-year binding period, requests for intermediate incremental steps of Contracted Capacity may be made before the full Contracted Capacity is implemented. The first step shall be at least one quarter ( 1 /4) of the consumer’s requested full Contracted Capacity at each intake supply point. 3.1.3 After the initial 5-year binding period, the consumer may, by giving at least 10 business days’ notice in writing, reduce his Contracted Capacity at each intake supply point subject to the following minimum values: HT with 1 or 2 feeders HT with 3 or 4 feeders EHT UHT 850 kW, 6,375 kW, 12,750 kW, 42,500 kW. Any such reduction in Contracted Capacity shall be subject to a 1-year binding period from the effective date of the revised Contracted Capacity, i.e. the consumer shall not be entitled to make any further reduction in the Contracted Capacity within one year following any such reduction. The Market Support Services Licensee will inform the consumer of the date of their billing cycle. The consumer will be billed based on the revised Contracted Capacity for the entire billing cycle that encompasses the effective date of the revised Contracted Capacity. 3.1.4 The consumer, may, by giving at least 15 business days’ notice in writing, may be allowed to increase his Contracted Capacity, during the 5-year or 1-year binding period. The revised Contracted Capacity shall apply for the remainder of the initial 5-year binding period or for a minimum period of 1 year, whichever is later, provided SPPA is not required to install new or additional equipment. The consumer will be billed based on the revised Contracted Capacity for the entire billing cycle that encompasses the effective date of the revised Contracted Capacity. Reduction of Contracted Capacity during binding periods will not be allowed. 3.1.5 A consumer whose revised Contracted Capacity requires SPPA to install new or additional equipment shall be considered as receiving a new supply with a new 5-year binding period. 3.1.6 Subject to Clause 3.1.4 and 3.1.5, the UCC incurred by a consumer in a particular month (“UCC Month”) can be converted into Contracted Capacity Charge provided: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) The consumer submits the request for an increase in Contracted Capacity no later than 2 weeks after the date of the bill for the UCC Month; The revised Contracted Capacity is not less than the maximum demand recorded in the UCC Month; The revised Contracted Capacity does not require the Transmission Licensee to install new or additional equipment; and Upon approval by the Transmission Licensee, the revised Contracted Capacity shall take effect on the first day of the UCC Month and thereafter shall not be reduced within one year, or the remaining of the 5-year binding period, whichever is later. 3.1.7 For a new development with landlord and tenants, the Contracted Capacity required by the landlord himself and his tenants (HT and above) must in aggregate meet the minimum values set out in paragraphs 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 above in order for the landlord to qualify for HT, EHT or UHT supplies. If landlord or its tenants (HT and above) request to revise their Contracted Capacity, the aggregate Contracted Capacity after revision must meet the minimum Contracted Capacity values and subject to the same terms and conditions for revision of Contracted Capacity set out in paragraphs 3.1.3 and 3.1.4. 3.1.8 Existing HT, EHT or UHT consumers may have Contracted Capacity below the minimum Contracted Capacity as specified in paragraphs 3.1.2 and 3.1.3. For such consumers, they may request to increase (but not decrease) their Contracted Capacity in the manner as described above. 3.2 Peak Period Charge The Peak Period Charge payable shall be the monthly charge based on the energy (in kWh) supplied to an installation during the peak period, 7.00 am to 11.00 pm, in that month. 3.3 Off-Peak Period Charge The Off-Peak Period Charge payable shall be the monthly charge based on the energy (in kWh) supplied to an installation during the off-peak period, 11.00 pm to 7.00 am, in that month. 3.4 Reactive Power Charge The Reactive Power Charge is a monthly charge payable in any month for the installation's excess kVArh consumption. The excess kVArh shall be the difference by which the installation's kVArh consumption drawn from the network in that month is greater than 62% of its kWh consumption drawn from the network in the same month. 3.5 Uncontracted Capacity Charge 3.5.1 The Uncontracted Capacity Charge is a monthly charge payable in any month for the Uncontracted Capacity utilised. The Uncontracted Capacity is the capacity in kW by which the maximum demand in kW (measured by the half-hour integration meter) exceeds the Contracted Capacity at that metered intake supply point. 3.5.2 The Uncontracted Capacity Charge shall apply to the following HT, EHT and UHT consumers : a. Normal consumers without embedded generation; b. Consumers with embedded generation whose monthly maximum demand in kW is the maximum summated demand in kW in the month, determined by summating the kW demand drawn from the network and the kW output from embedded generation (i.e. Summation Scheme); and c. Consumers with embedded generation who opt to cap their power demand in kW drawn from the network in the event that the maximum demand in kW (measured by the half-hour integration meter) exceeds the Contracted Capacity at that metered intake supply point (i.e. Capped Capacity Scheme or Extended Capped Capacity Scheme). The Uncontracted Capacity for these consumers shall be limited to 20% of the Contracted Capacity. 3.6 Uncontracted Standby Capacity Charge 3.6.1 The Uncontracted Standby Capacity Charge is a monthly charge payable in any month for the Uncontracted Standby Capacity utilised. The Uncontracted Standby Capacity Charge shall apply to those HT, EHT and UHT consumers with embedded generation who opt for the Capped Capacity Scheme or Extended Capped Capacity Scheme. 3.6.2 For Capped Capacity Scheme, the Uncontracted Standby Capacity Charge applies in the event the demand in kW drawn from the network (measured by the power meter) exceeds 120% of the Contracted Capacity at that metered intake supply point for a duration of more than 10 seconds continuously. 3.6.3 For Extended Capped Capacity Scheme, the Uncontracted Standby Capacity Charge applies in the event : • the demand in kW drawn from the network exceeds 120% and up to 200% of the Contracted Capacity at that metered intake supply point for a duration of more than 100 seconds continuously; or • the demand in kW drawn from the network exceeds 200% of the Contracted Capacity at that metered intake supply point for a duration of more than 10 seconds continuously. 3.6.4 For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Uncontracted Standby Capacity Charge applies in accordance with Clauses 3.6.2 and 3.6.3 above, Uncontracted Capacity Charge shall also be applicable for the Contracted Capacity portion which is 20% above the customer’s declared Contracted Capacity. 4 Temporary Supplies Temporary Supplies apply only to LT and HT supplies for temporary civil engineering and building construction sites. The UOS charges applicable for the LT and HT temporary supplies shall be the same as those used for LT and HT supplies respectively. For temporary supplies at HT, the Contracted Capacity shall apply for a binding period of 2 years. Upward revision of the Contracted Capacity may be allowed during the validity of the binding period of the Contracted Capacity. The revised Contracted Capacity shall in such cases apply for a minimum period of 1 year, provided SPPA is not required to install new or additional equipment. Downward revision during such binding period will not be allowed. A consumer whose revised Contracted Capacity requires SPPA to install new or additional equipment, shall be considered as receiving a new temporary supply. The term granted for temporary connection is 2 years.

THE STRAITS TIMES BRANDED CONTENT ‘A good engineer likes to be challenged’: Mentor’s tough assignments sharpen skills of next generation Crucial technical knowledge to safeguard the nation’s power grid is passed down under a mentorship programme by SP Group SP Group's mentorship programme allows engineering veterans such as Mr Chua Khim Mong (top) to share their wealth of knowledge with the next generation of talent like Mr Chung Der Chyuan. PHOTO: SP GROUP PUBLISHED AUG 28, 2023, 4:00 AM SGT On any given day, Mr Chua Khim Mong would pose a hypothetical engineering problem in a group chat, challenging his team of technical officers and technicians to solve it. Mr Chua also leads weekly learning sessions and routinely assigns reading lists. No, Mr Chua is not a teacher – the 57-year-old is a senior principal engineer at SP Group. While his day job is to make sure Singapore’s national grid runs efficiently and seamlessly, he is also known as a no-nonsense mentor with close to 40 years of experience in the field. Mr Chung Der Chyuan, a principal engineer with SP Group and one of Mr Chua’s mentees, says that he has benefitted from the mentorship programme. “Mr Chua is very approachable and straightforward. He will explain his view and then let me figure out the details while keeping a watchful eye,” he shares. Today, both mentor and mentee collaborate to share their knowledge with colleagues, such as writing articles as part of a technical experts forum. Unseen heroes who pre-empt problems Mr Chua and his team are known as protection engineers and play an essential part in keeping Singapore’s lights on. Thanks to their work of monitoring and troubleshooting over 12,000 substations and 28,000 kilometres of electricity cables located across the island, Singapore’s ubiquitous power grid is world-leading in its reliability. While SP Group has monitoring equipment and technology that automatically adjust and reroute power across the grid to address anomalies, engineers remain crucial in fine-tuning systems and analysing faults. “With more than 50,000 protective relays, we look out for problems that can occur when there are firmware or hardware revisions in the relay equipment,” explains Mr Chua. Maintaining such a complex yet well-functioning national grid is no small feat, requiring depth and breadth in engineering knowledge and skills. To ensure such know-how, accumulated through decades of experience, is preserved and passed down to the younger engineers, SP Group has implemented the Technical Expert Scheme, which is an in-house mentorship programme designed to ensure the continuity of in-depth industry knowledge. A “living manual” with 40 years of experience Mr Chua first joined the Public Utilities Board, the precursor to SP Group, nearly four decades ago when he was 19 years old. Starting out as an assistant technician, he helped engineers who were more senior than him carry out relay testing and maintenance. Having risen through the ranks from a technician to a senior engineer, Mr Chua is well-placed to mentor his junior team members, guiding them through difficult situations they may face in the course of their work. “When I was a junior technician, our manager assigned a senior engineer to share with me and explain protection systems: the characteristics of a good protection system and how to set up relays. The presentation really changed my understanding of electrical engineering.” With nearly four decades of experience under his belt, Mr Chua believes tough assignments can help his mentees stretch their capabilities and grow in their careers. PHOTO: SP GROUP Now, Mr Chua places a similar emphasis on educating and motivating his junior colleagues. On his approach to skills upgrading, he says, “A good engineer likes to be challenged. I would give my engineers tough assignments to push them in sharpening their skills, and encourage them to keep working on solving the problem rather than walk away.” “Many of my officers have expressed interest in pursuing a degree course. This is something that I am very, very proud of because it shows a deep culture of wanting to upgrade themselves,” shares Mr Chua, who himself completed an engineering degree under a scholarship from his organisation in 1995. This is also testimony to his efforts of encouraging a team learning culture. To officers who want to attain additional qualifications, he reminds them, “Revise your maths because it is the hardest part of the course. After all, maths is a big part of an engineer’s job.” Mr Chua recounts one instance where he patiently allowed a junior team member to present his findings in a sharing session even though he had already spotted a miscalculation. “Rather than correcting him at the start, I want him to learn from his mistake and share the learning with his peers. “We remember and learn better through our mistakes,” Mr Chua explains. Often, his mentees would come to him for advice when they encounter complex situations on the job. “Most of the time, I already have the answer to their question. But I would send them off to come up with their proposed hypothesis and test method. This way, we can have two-way discussions and uncover new insights which can be applied in other situations,” he adds. He would also assign engineers technical papers to read so that they keep up with the latest trends and developments, before hearing their views on potential applications. Mr Chua pays close attention to the work of his juniors and always welcomes questions. “I tell them to never be afraid of asking seemingly silly questions. The most valuable lessons are learned from questioning and probing,” shares Mr Chua. In the spirit of learning from one another, Mr Chua has implemented surprise tests and weekly sharing sessions. “Once a week, we are all in the office to share interesting experiences or findings. Even the simplest finding or experience can be valuable to another. Everyone can benefit, including myself, regardless of rank or age.” “At the end of the day, the goal is to solve engineering problems more efficiently. But when possible, I will let my technical officers or engineers do things the hard way so that they get to learn more from the problem-solving process,” adds Mr Chua. As Singapore seeks to transition to a low-carbon future and tackle climate change, Singapore’s grid will be upgraded with new technologies to provide for developments like electric vehicle charging and more extensive deployment of solar panels. Technical experts like Mr Chua are key in helping the next generation of talent to keep abreast of change and new opportunities, and hone relevant skills and expertise.
