Media Release Electricity Tariff Revision for the Period 1 July to 30 September 2022 Singapore, 30 June 2022 – For the period from 1 July to 30 September 2022, electricity tariff (before 7% GST) will increase by an average of 8.1% or 2.21 cents per kWh compared with the previous quarter. The increase is mainly due to higher energy cost driven by rising global gas and oil prices exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine. For details on the components of the electricity tariff, please refer to Appendix 1: Breakdown of Electricity Tariff. For households, the electricity tariff (before 7% GST) will increase from 27.94 to 30.17 cents per kWh for 1 July to 30 September 2022. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in HDB four-room flats will increase by $8.25 (before 7% GST) (Appendix 3: Average monthly electricity bills of domestic consumers). *before 7% GST SP Group reviews the electricity tariffs every quarter based on guidelines set by the electricity industry regulator, Energy Market Authority (EMA). The tariffs shown in Appendix 2 have been approved by EMA. Appendix 1 BREAKDOWN OF ELECTRICITY TARIFF 1. The electricity tariff consists of the following four components: Energy costs (paid to the generation companies): This component is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the cost of fuel and power generation. The fuel cost is the cost of imported natural gas, which is tied to oil prices by commercial contracts. The cost of power generation covers mainly the costs of operating the power stations, such as the manpower and maintenance costs, as well as the capital cost of the stations. Network costs (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the cost of transporting electricity through the power grid. Market Support Services Fee (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the costs of billing and meter reading, data management, retail market systems as well as market development initiatives. Market Administration and Power System Operation Fee (paid to Energy Market Company and Power System Operator): This fee is reviewed annually to recover the costs of operating the electricity wholesale market and power system.

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

Charges 4.1 Connection Policy The cost to connect a customer’s gas installation or gas fitting to the Transporter’s gas pipeline network varies from case-to-case, due to the proximity of the customer’s location and the cost of the materials and services required for the gas connection. Where possible, the Transporter will envisage to propose the most cost-effective connection to the applicant. 4.2 Connection Charge The connection charge payable for all gas connection applications is the sum of the project cost less the deductible cost, subject to a minimum connection charge of zero. The description of each of the cost components are shown below. (1) Project cost All costs related to the provision of gas connection from the Transporter’s gas pipeline network to the GSIV, including the Meter Installation (where applicable). (2) Deductible cost The Transporter’s investment value based on the committed gas demand from the applicant for the new gas connection. For distribution connections, the investment value is derived based on the net present value of the 5-Year revenue of the average consumption for each consumption category (see Appendix 8). For transmission connections, the connection charges are calculated individually on a case-bycase basis. In addition, a Last Mile Connection Charge (“LMCC”) will be levied to recover the cost of the “last mile” connection of the gas installation to the GSIV from the applicant. The natural gas transmission/distribution connection deductible cost, LMCC and unit rates used in the determination of the transmission/distribution pipeline estimated capital investment shall be reviewed and adjusted when deemed necessary by the Transporter. The Transporter reserves the right to review the connection charge paid for any new connection and seek reimbursement for the first 5 years under-recovered revenue from the Shipper/Retailer if the actual gas consumption after 5 years of operation is more than 10% below the projected gas demand declared during application.

More solar means more investment: SP More infrastructure needed to handle two-way flow when supply rises in future By RONNIE LIM ronnie@sph.com.sg SINGAPORE Power (SP), which handles electricity and gas transmission and distribution here, will need to make a “significant investment” in additional infrastructure to handle a two-way power flow in the electricity grid when supply from intermittent generation sources, including solar energy, ramps up in future, said its CEO Wong Kim Yin. Speaking to BT on the sidelines of the Electricity Roundtable yesterday, Mr Wong said that while SP’s existing infrastructure can handle the just-announced increase this week in the current cap on intermittent generation sources from 350 megawatts to 600 MW, SP will have to boost its infrastructure if this is further upped beyond 1,000 MW later. The new 600 MW cap announced by the government represents around 10 per cent of current peak electricity demand in Singapore of 6,000 MW. The cap Mr Wong: Power market liberalisation has brought capital inflows of over $78 billion in last five years is to ensure there is sufficient electricity reserve (from the gencos) to back up the intermittent energy sources and ensure power system stability. Mr Wong explained that presently power is transmitted via copper cables, which are stronger or thicker nearer the power source, like a power station, with this “stepped down” as it progresses down the chain from sub-stations to industries or homes. “The existing transmission system is already two-way in that homes with solar panels already sell back some of their generated electricity to the grid,” Mr Wong said. But when supplies from such intermittent sources, like solar energy, increase significantly, SP will need to make “a significant investment” to build up system capability to handle this. But he declined to give specifics, like the investment dollars needed, at this stage. Already, the Housing Development Board is stepping up its use of solar energy in flats here, while other new projects like the Singapore Sports Hub are also adopting solar panel use to meet some of its electricity needs. This is why government this week said it is preparing the power system here to “effectively incorporate solar energy as it becomes commercially viable”. Apart from raising the current cap on intermittent generation sources here, regulator Energy Market Authority has also launched a public consultation on a regulatory framework for such power sources. In his presentation, Mr Wong – who as senior managing director of Temasek Holdings previously had handled its divestment of the three biggest gencos here – said that liberalisation of the power market here has proven successful. “Market liberalisation here has attracted capital inflows of over $78 billion into the power sector over the last five years. And SP alone has spent capex of $5.4 billion to improve pipelines and the power grid, with this raised from capital markets,” he said. On this, David Wong, director and chairman of Energy Market Company’s audit committee, noted that while gencos have invested in more efficient gas-firing plants to generate electricity competitively, surging fuel prices have led to a steady increase in the spot or wholesale electricity price over the last decade. “Compared to 2003, the wholesale electricity price has almost doubled to $179 per megawatt hour in the first three quarters of 2013,” he said, adding that economic growth has fuelled electricity demand, putting upward pressure on prices. This in turn has attracted investment in new plants, and “an outcome of this is that the wholesale electricity price has in actual fact softened, and is currently 19 per cent lower than last year”.
