GAS TRANSPORTATION TARIFFS (for Shippers with Natural Gas Distribution customers) (W.E.F. 1 Apr 26) 1 Introduction 1.1 Under the Gas Network Code, PowerGas is the Gas Transporter and is responsible for maintaining the reliability and safety of the gas transportation network in Singapore. PowerGas’ transportation business is regulated by the Energy Market Authority (EMA). The transportation tariffs levied by PowerGas are approved by the EMA. 1.2 The transportation tariffs are levied on Shippers. Shippers pay transmission as well as distribution charges as part of the distribution tariff for transportation of natural gas to distribution-level end-users. This is to reflect the cost of transporting gas through both the transmission and distribution networks. 1.3 End-user transportation charges imposed by Shippers are commercial arrangements between the Shippers and their end-users. 2 Natural Gas Distribution Tariffs 2.1 Arising from EMA’s notification to the industry dated 21 March 2024, a GSC of 23 cents/mmBtu for PNG Injection Points or GSC of 4 cents/mmBtu for LNG Injection Points is imposed on PNG and LNG gas users respectively with effect from 1 Apr 26 to recover the cost associated with Strategic Capacity (as defined in EMA's Policy Paper issued to the industry dated 30 Sep 2019). The Transporter will collect the GSC from all Shippers as an agent for and on behalf of SLNG. The GSC will be reviewed from time to time as directed by EMA and will be included as an uplift in the transmission usage charge. 2.2 The Distribution tariff is made up of two components (i.e. a Transmission Charge component and a Distribution Charge component). 3 Transmission Charging Structure 3.1 Transmission charges consist of capacity and usage charges. Shippers book capacity with PowerGas to transport gas from designated injection points to off-take points. Shippers pay entry and exit charges based on their respective booked capacity. In addition, uniform usage charge is levied on the volume of gas transported. Details of the transmission charge components are shown in Table 1 of the Appendix. 3.2 Shippers will have to pay Overrun Charges in the event they off-take gas above their booked capacity. These Overrun Charges are necessary to encourage the efficient use of the gas network. There are two types of Overrun Charges: • Authorised Capacity Overrun Charge: If a Shipper applies for additional capacity above the booked capacity (i.e. capacity overrun), the Authorised Capacity Overrun Charge, equivalent to 1.25 times the Transmission Capacity Charge rate, shall be applied on that additional capacity. • Unauthorised Capacity Overrun Charge: If a Shipper does not apply for Authorised Capacity Overrun for utilisation of additional capacity above the booked capacity, it will pay 2 times the Transmission Capacity Charge rate for that additional capacity utilised. 4 Distribution Charging Structure The Distribution Charge component is a usage-based charge in $/MMBtu. The Distribution Network is segregated into two service areas as follows: • The Jurong Island, Jurong and Tuas (“JIT”) area 2 • Outside the JIT area As the cost to serve the area outside JIT is higher than the JIT area, this results in a higher usage charge for the former. The Distribution Charges are shown in Table 2 of the Appendix. 5 Appendix – Table of Charges Table 1: Transmission Charges for Shippers with Natural Gas Distribution Customers (Exclusive of GST) Entry capacity charge ($/MMBtu/hr) Per Annum (a) Exit capacity charge ($/MMBtu/hr) Per Annum (b) Transmission capacity charge ($/MMBtu/hr) Per Annum (a) + (b) Transmission usage charge (comprising non-GSC and GSC) (¢/MMBtu) a) PNG source Transmission Network 1 537.20 2,432.36 2,969.56 1.59 + 23.0 Transmission Network 2 * 2,158.83 810.73 2,969.56 1.59 + 23.0 Transmission Network 2^ 1,637.32 1,332.24 2,969.56 1.59 + 23.0 b) LNG source Transmission Network 1 769.89 2,706.41 3,476.30 1.90 + 4.00 Transmission Network 2 1,470.60 2,005.70 3,476.30 1.90 + 4.00 Table 1a: Transmission Charges for Shippers with Natural Gas Distribution Customers (Inclusive of 9% GST) + Entry capacity charge ($/MMBtu/hr) Per Annum (a) Exit capacity charge ($/MMBtu/hr) Per Annum (b) Transmission capacity charge ($/MMBtu/hr) Per Annum (a) + (b) Transmission usage charge (comprising non-GSC and GSC) (¢/MMBtu) a) PNG source Transmission Network 1 585.55 2,651.27 3,236.82 1.73 + 25.1 Transmission Network 2 * 2,353.12 883.70 3,236.82 1.73 + 25.1 Transmission Network 2^ 1,784.68 1,452.14 3,236.82 1.73 + 25.1 b) LNG source Transmission Network 1 839.18 2,949.99 3,789.17 2.07 + 4.36 Transmission Network 2 1,602.95 2,186.21 3,789.17 2.07 + 4.36 Notes: 1) Transmission Network 1 refers to the natural gas transmission network conveying both piped natural gas and regasified LNG from West Natuna (Indonesia) and the LNG Terminal.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Upholding our energy networks for 36 years and counting RELIABILITY Backed by 36 years of experience at SP Group, veteran engineer Ang Seng Kok has been part of a gamut of iconic projects and meticulous operations that have established Singapore’s world-class power grid. Currently the General Manager of Projects at SP PowerGrid, he oversees the implementation of Electricity and Gas projects such as installation and renewal of electricity equipment and cables, substation modification works, installation of gas transmission and distribution pipelines, and diversion works. “A major project we’re working on is the transmission and distribution switchgear and cable renewal works at Admiralty Road West 230kV substation. The equipment has reached the end of its service life and replacement works are needed to maintain overall network reliability.” He vividly remembers the intricate details of his career at SP as well PUB prior to corporation. Seng Kok at Telok Blangah depot during his first posting to the Operations and Maintenance Central section in 1988. In 1985, Seng Kok started with the Operations and Maintenance Central section. He obtained his switching certificate to operate 22kV networks and was trained to conduct equipment maintenance, fault repair and cable diversion. He recalled his initial years when he benefitted from overseas exposure. “One of my first postings at SP Group (then PUB) was at the Public Lighting section. My team was in charge of installing and maintaining street lighting for public roads for the entire island. In 1994, I was sent to Holland for a two-week lighting course to learn about the best lighting designs for road users so as to provide safe and comfortable vision for road users at night." Seng Kok (fourth from left) with his course mates during the lighting course in Europe, in 1994. An incident that left the deepest impression was when he was with the Distribution Control & Customer Service section. A major power outage occurred in 2004 at around 10pm and one-third of the customers were affected. “As head of the section, I was on my usual round-the-clock standby in case of any network disruption. I recall sprinting down the staircase from the 13th floor of my apartment as the lift stopped working. I had to brave the darkness and drove to the control centre safely with no operating traffic lights and streetlights while staying on the phone line to provide situation updates!” Seng Kok with the Electricity Service Centre crew when he was with the Distribution Control & Customer Service section in 2008. In 2016, Seng Kok assumed responsibilities in Procurement which he felt was his “most interesting stint” as he held his first non-engineering role. “It was an eye-opening experience carrying out factory audits before awarding tenders to manufacturers. We had to ensure adequate manufacturing capability, sound processes for quality control and assurance are in place and workers are well trained. Seng Kok (centre) with engineers from SP PowerGrid at a substation. The 61-year-old added, “After doing my tour of duty across different teams, I am back to where I first began. It has come full circle for me! However, the way we operate has changed tremendously over the years, with energy transformation, digitalisation and higher customer expectations. To be effective in what we do, it’s important to stay agile and keep up to date with best practices and technology.” TAGS PEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Ground feedback, digital tools: How she helps 8,000 workers end their day safely Faster repairs, fewer disruptions: Meet the innovative teams using smart tech to keep your piped gas supply flowing Engineer, 27, shares how she is undaunted by male-dominated energy industry & climbs the ranks

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 PowerAssets): This fee is reviewed annually.

Free N95 masks in kits for every home BY ADRIAN LIM E VERY household here will receive three N95 face masks, as part of a nation-wide push to get individuals to think about being prepared for emergencies, such as haze crises and flu pandemics. The 3M brand foldable masks are packed in a “Stay Prepared” kit that will also contain instructions in four languages on how to put them on, and useful emergency contact numbers. A total of 1.2 million kits will be delivered to homes between today and next Monday. The initiative is led by Temasek Cares, a non-profit philantrophic arm under Temasek Holdings, in partnership with Singapore Power and Singapore Post. Temasek Cares will be pumping in $4 million from its $40 million war chest, called the Temasek Emergency Preparedness Fund, for the mask distribution programme. The fund was set up earlier this year to help Singaporeans prepare and deal with emergencies. Last month, a $1.5 million project to train 60 therapists to help children deal with traumatic situations, such as accidents, was also launched. Richard Magnus, chairman of Temasek Cares, said the kits will give households an “initial stock” of masks to encourage them to plan their own contingencies. “It’s a habit of mind we want to prompt... Last June, there was a severe haze that impacted Singapore... we need to be prepared,” said Mr Magnus. The Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre expects this year’s haze to be worse than last year’s. This is because of lower than usual rainfall expected from now till October in parts of the region and the El Nino weather pattern, which is linked to drought, said reports. Being prepared earlier will also prevent a repeat of last June, when people scrambled to stock up on face masks. An additional 17,000 kits will also be delivered to over 140 charity homes, and another 300,000 have been prepared on standby for needy families. Mary Abishagam, 57, a senior administrative assistant with Singapore Power, said she will be volunteering an extra three hours every day, on top of her regular work, to help pack the kits for delivery. “It’s going to be challenging, but we will manage... We are getting people prepared and not many people have thought of keeping masks in their homes,” she said cheerily. Members of the public who wish to get more information about the delivery of the kits can call a hotline, 1800-738-2000, from today until May 24, between 8am and 8pm daily. adrianl@sph.com.sg

Emergency starter kits for all households By AUDREY TAN ALL households in Singapore will get three N95 masks delivered free to their homes from today, in the largest mask distribution exercise to date. They are part of an emergency starter kit which will be delivered to all 1.2 million households by Monday, said Temasek Cares yesterday. The non-profit, philanthropic arm of Temasek Holdings is partnering Singapore Power and Singapore Post for the $4 million programme. Aside from the 3M-manufactured masks, the kit will also contain information on how to wear the masks and emergency contact numbers. Temasek Cares chairman Richard Magnus said the programme hopes to spur Singaporeans into thinking about emergency preparedness. “The starter kit includes three N95 masks so that each household can have an initial stock in case of a flu pandemic or severe haze,” he said. “We hope (the kits) will prompt individuals and families to develop their own emergency plans.” Households with more than three people could consider buying more N95 masks, or bulk up their emergency “grab bags” by including medication or vitamins required by members of the family, Mr Magnus said. Being prepared could also mitigate the problem of people rushing to buy products, such as masks, during emergencies. Mr Magnus added: “Before the emergency arises, they would have already taken action so they are prepared – just like having an umbrella for a rainy day.” The starter kit initiative is the The emergency starter kit distribution exercise was symbolically flagged off yesterday at the Singapore Power training institute. Present were (from left, by the van) Singapore Power chairman Mohd Hassan Marican, Temasek Cares chairman Richard Magnus, Singapore Post’s executive vice-president and head of postal services Woo Keng Leong, and 3M Singapore’s general manager of safety and graphics group Helen Foo, and Singapore Power and Singapore Post staff. The distribution exercise starts today. PHOTO: LIM YAOHUI FOR THE STRAITS TIMES second project to tap the $40 million Temasek Emergency Preparedness Fund launched in March. The first is a $1.5 million programme to train 60 social workers, therapists and school counsellors in trauma-focused therapy for children. The fund, administered by Temasek Cares under its Stay Prepared initiative, aims to help Singaporeans build up community resources to deal with emergencies. On top of the starter kits for households, 17,000 kits will go to 144 charities including the Metta Home for the Disabled and The Salvation Army Gracehaven. Another 300,000 will be on standby for needy families in case of a crisis. The mask distribution exercise is the largest to date. At the peak of the haze in June last year, one million N95 masks were earmarked for 200,000 of the poorest households and vulnerable Singaporeans. During the epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) in 2003, two surgical masks and a thermometer were distributed to 1.1 million households. Communications officer Jaclyn Sim, 31, said organisers could consider giving masks only to low-income households as those who earn more “can easily get their own”. “To get Singaporeans thinking, a brochure with graphics depicting different emergency scenarios may be better,” she added. audreyt@sph.com.sg N95 masks can be stored for five years THE N95 masks that went on sale during the haze period last year can still be used as they have a shelf life of five years. But Ms Foo Meow Ling, a nurse clinician at the infection control unit at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, said there should be “no air leakage around the face when the wearer exhales”. Ms Helen Foo, general manager at mask manufacturer and technology firm 3M, said: “After five years, the nose clip and elastic headband may loosen or disintegrate, leading to a poor face seal and affecting the effectiveness.” The masks should also be changed when “the wearer finds it hard to breathe, or when it is soiled or physically damaged”, she added. The N95 mask is “at least 95 per cent efficient against fine particles that are about 0.1 to 0.3 microns” in size, according to the Health Ministry’s website. It is 99.5 per cent efficient against larger particles, such as those 0.75 microns and above. This makes it effective for use against the PM2.5 particle, an air pollutant associated with vehicle emissions and the haze that is less than 2.5 microns in size. Masks should also be stored in their original packaging and in cool and dry conditions, said 3M’s Ms Foo. AUDREY TAN
