On behalf of the Board of Directors ──────────────────────── MS LEONG WAI LENG Chairman ──────────────────────── MR STANLEY HUANG TIAN GUAN Director / Group Chief Executive Officer 7 June 2024 7 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 March 2024 Independent Auditor’s Report For the financial year ended 31 March 2024 Independent Auditor’s Report to the Member of Singapore Power Limited Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Singapore Power Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the balance sheets of the Group and the Company as at 31 March 2024, the income statements, statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity of the Group and the Company and statement of cash flows of the Group for the financial year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group, the balance sheet, income statement, statement of comprehensive income and statement of changes in equity of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1967 (the “Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) (“SFRS(I)”) so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 March 2024 and of the financial performance, changes in equity of the Group and the Company and consolidated cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that date. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (“SSAs”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (“ACRA”) Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (“ACRA Code”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Other Information Management is responsible for other information. The other information comprises the directors’ statement. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 8 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 March 2024 Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Act and SFRS(I), and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair financial statements and to maintain accountability of assets. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The directors’ responsibilities include overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 9 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 March 2024 • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 7 June 2024. 1 Domicile and activities Singapore Power Limited (the “Company”) is incorporated in the Republic of Singapore and has its registered office at 2 Kallang Sector, SP Group Building, Singapore 349277. The immediate and ultimate holding company is Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. The principal activities of the Company are that of investment holding and provision of management support services. Its subsidiaries are engaged principally in the transmission and distribution of electricity and gas, provision of related consultancy services and investments in related projects. The consolidated financial statements relate to the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interests in associates and joint ventures (collectively referred to as “Group entities”). 2 Basis of preparation 2.1 Statement of compliance The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) (“SFRS(I)”). 2.2 Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies set out below. 2.3 Functional and presentation currency These financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. All financial information presented in Singapore dollars has been rounded to the nearest 0.1 million, unless otherwise stated. 2.4 Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with SFRS(I) requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is discussed below: 19 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 Taxation Significant judgement is required in determining provision for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Details are set out in Note 11 and Note 27. Impairment of associates Impairment reviews in respect of associates are performed at least annually or when there is any indication that the investment in associates may be impaired. More regular reviews are performed if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicate potential impairment. The Group uses the present value of future cash flows to determine the recoverable amounts of the underlying cash generating units in the associates. In calculating the recoverable amounts, significant management judgement is required in forecasting cash flows of the cash generating units, in estimating the terminal growth values and in selecting an appropriate discount rate. Estimating fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition, measurement and disclosure purposes. Note 33 sets out the basis of valuation of financial assets and liabilities. Accrued revenue Revenue accrual estimates are made to account for the unbilled period between the end-user’s last billing date and the end of the accounting period. The accrual relies on detailed analysis of customers’ historical consumption patterns, which takes into account base usage and sensitivity to consumption growth. The results of this analysis are applied for the number of days over the unbilled period. Regulatory deferral accounts Regulatory deferral account debit or credit balances represent timing differences between revenue recognised for financial reporting purposes (as set out in Note 3.15) and revenue earned for regulatory purposes. Revenue earned for regulatory purposes is estimated based on the revenue allowed by the Energy Market Authority (“EMA”) (in accordance with the price regulation framework), taking into consideration the services rendered, sale and volume of electricity and gas delivered to consumers. Note 3.14 sets out the accounting policy for regulatory deferral accounts. Valuation of investment property under development The Group carries its investment property under development at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss, determined annually by an independent professional valuer on the highest and best use basis. In determining the fair value, the valuer has used valuation techniques which involves certain estimates. The key assumptions to determine the fair value of investment property under development include the gross development value, estimated construction costs to complete and market-corroborated capitalisation rate. In relying on the valuation reports, management has exercised judgment to ensure that the valuation methods and estimates are reflective of current market conditions. The carrying amount of investment property under development and the key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the investment property are disclosed in Notes 7 and 33. 20 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 2.5 Changes in accounting policies Adoption of new and revised SFRS(I)s and Interpretation to SFRS(I) The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except that in the current financial year, the Group has adopted all the new and revised standards which are effective for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1 April 2023. Other than the below, the adoption of these standards did not have any material effect on the financial performance or position of the Group. Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction The Group has adopted Amendments to SFRS(I)1-12: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction from 1 April 2023. The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption to exclude transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences – e.g. leases. The Group previously accounted for deferred tax on leases by applying the ‘integrally linked’ approach, resulting in a similar outcome as under the amendments, except that the deferred tax asset or liability was recognised on a net basis. Following the amendments, the Group has recognised a separate deferred tax asset in relation to its lease liabilities and a deferred tax liability in relation to its right-of-use assets. However, there was no impact on the balance sheets because the balances qualify for offset under paragraph 74 of SFRS(I) 1-12. There was also no impact on the opening retained earnings as at 1 April 2023 as a result of the change. The key impact for the Group relates to disclosure of the deferred tax assets and liabilities recognised in Note 11. International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules The Group has adopted Amendments to SFRS(I) 1- 12 International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules upon their release on 23 May 2023. The amendments provide a temporary mandatory exception from deferred tax accounting for the top-up tax that may arise from the jurisdictional adoption of the Pillar Two model rules published by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”), and required new disclosures about the Pillar Two tax exposure. The mandatory exception is effective immediately and applies retrospectively. However, because no new legislation to implement top-up tax was enacted or substantively enacted at 31 March 2023 in any jurisdiction in which the Group operates and no related deferred tax was recognised as that date, the retrospective application has no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. 3 Material accounting policy information The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these financial statements, and have been consistently applied by the Group entities, except as explained in Note 2.5, which addresses changes in accounting policies. 3.1 Basis of consolidation Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that are currently exercisable. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. 21 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date and included in the consideration transferred. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. For non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets in the event of liquidation, the Group elects on a transaction-by-transaction basis whether to measure them at fair value, or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, at the acquisition date. All other non-controlling interests are measured at acquisition-date fair value, or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another standard. Any excess or deficiency of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed is accounted for as goodwill or bargain purchase gain (see Note 3.4). Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment losses. Loss of control Upon the loss of control, the Group de-recognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equityaccounted investee or as an equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income depending on the level of influence retained. Joint arrangements A joint arrangement is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement, the arrangement is a joint operation. To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the net assets of the arrangement, the arrangement is a joint venture. The Group recognises its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for the investment using the equity method. The accounting policy for investment in joint venture is set out below. 22 Investments in associates and joint ventures (equity-accounted investees) Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 An associate is an entity over which the Group has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but does not have control or joint control of those policies. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (equity-accounted investees) and are recognised initially at cost. The Group’s investments in equity-accounted investees include goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the equity-accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies of the equityaccounted investees with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity-accounted investee, the carrying amount of the investment, together with any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation to fund the investee’s operations or has made payments on behalf of the investee. Acquisition of non-controlling interests Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result of such transactions. The adjustments to noncontrolling interests arising from transactions that do not involve the loss of control are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary. Any difference between the adjustment to non-controlling interests and the fair value of consideration paid is recognised directly in equity and presented as part of equity attributable to owners of the Company. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Accounting for subsidiaries and joint ventures by the Company Investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures are stated in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 23 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 3.2 Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The functional currencies of the Group entities are mainly Singapore dollars, Australian dollars, Vietnamese Dong, Thai Baht, and Chinese Yuan Renminbi. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currencies at the exchange rate at the reporting date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the date on which the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the translation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation that is effective, an equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income, or qualifying cash flow hedges which are recognised in other comprehensive income. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, excluding goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Singapore dollars for presentation in these financial statements at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Singapore dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (“translation reserve”) in equity. However, if the foreign operation is a non-whollyowned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the noncontrolling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of, such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the translation reserve in equity. 24 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 3.3 Property, plant and equipment Recognition and measurement Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for their intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing cost. Capitalisation of borrowing costs will cease when the asset is ready for its intended use. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and is recognised net within other income/other operating expenses in profit or loss. Subsequent costs The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Depreciation Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Freehold land and construction-in-progress are not depreciated. 25 The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 Leasehold land Over the term of the lease, ranging from 3 – 99 years Buildings, office and tunnels 1 – 40 years or the lease term, if shorter Plant and machinery - Mains (Electricity) 10 – 30 years - Mains (Gas) 5 – 50 years or the lease term, if shorter - Transformers and switchgear 20 – 30 years - Solar plants and related equipment 10 – 25 years Other plant and equipment 1 – 40 years (principally gas storage plant, remote control and meters) Motor vehicles and office equipment 1 – 10 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end, and adjusted if appropriate. 3.4 Intangible assets Goodwill Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets and represents the excess of: - the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus - the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus - if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Subsequent measurement Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of equity-accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and an impairment loss on such an investment is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the equity-accounted investee. Other intangible assets Other intangible assets with finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Expenditure on internally generated goodwill is recognised in profit or loss as an expense when incurred. Intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not available for use are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Software is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 2 to 10 years. 26 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 Deferred expenditure relates mainly to contributions paid by the Group in accordance with regulatory requirements towards capital expenditure costs incurred by electricity generation companies and onshore receiving facility operator, and is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Deferred expenditure is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period in which the Group derives benefits from the capital contribution payments, which is generally the useful life of the relevant equipment ranging from 7 to 23 years. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalised development costs arising from development expenditures on an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete and the ability to measure reliably the expenditures during the development. Following initial recognition of the capitalised development costs as an intangible asset, it is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the intangible asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. Capitalised development costs have a finite useful life and are amortised over the period of 5 years on a straight line basis. Feed-in tariff and customer contracts represent the fair value of power purchase agreements acquired from business acquisitions and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Feed-in tariff and customer contracts are amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining period of the contract, which ranges from 15 to 24 years. Intangible assets under construction are stated at cost. No amortisation is provided until the intangible assets are ready for use. 3.5 Investment property under development Investment property under development is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property under development is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit and loss. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The cost of self-constructed investment property includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment property under development to a working condition for their intended use and capitalised borrowing costs. Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property under development (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss. When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting. Property that is being constructed for future use as investment property under development is accounted for at fair value. 27 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 3.6 Financial instruments Non-derivative financial assets Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets are recognised when, and only when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Trade receivables are measured at the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third party, if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component at initial recognition. Subsequent measurement Investments in debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. The measurement categories for classification of debt instruments are: (i) Amortised cost Financial assets that are held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the assets are de-recognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. (ii) Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Financial assets measured at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses from changes in fair value of the financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses and interest calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is de-recognised. (iii) Fair value through profit or loss Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises. 28 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 Investments in equity instruments On initial recognition of an investment in equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value in OCI. Dividends from such investments are to be recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. For investments in equity instruments which the Group has not elected to present subsequent changes in fair value in OCI, changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. De-recognition The Group de-recognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and bank deposits. Non-derivative financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. For financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss incurred. Subsequent measurement After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are de-recognised, and through the amortisation process. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. De-recognition A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. On de-recognition, the difference between the carrying amounts and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented on the balance sheets when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The rights of offset must not be contingent on a future event and must be enforceable in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of all the counterparties to the contract. 29 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value and any directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognised in profit or loss. The Group designates certain derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments in qualifying hedging relationships. At inception of designated hedging relationships, the Group documents the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Group also documents the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other. The Group applies hedge accounting for certain hedging relationships which qualify for hedge accounting. For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as: • cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognised firm commitment; or • fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm commitment. Cash flow hedges When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount accumulated in equity is included in the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is recognised. In other cases, the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit and loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income will remain in the cash flow hedge reserve until the future cash flows occur if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur or reclassified to profit or loss immediately if the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur. 30 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 Fair value hedges Changes in the fair value of a derivative hedging instrument designated as a fair value hedge are recognised in profit or loss. The hedged item is adjusted to reflect changes in its fair value in respect of the risk being hedged; the gain or loss attributable to the hedged risk is recognised in profit or loss with an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item. Hedges directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform Phase 2 amendments: Replacement of interest rates – when there is no longer uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform When the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument changes as a result of interest rate benchmark reform and therefore there is no longer uncertainty arising about the cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument, the Group amends the hedged documentation of that hedging relationship to reflect the change(s) required by interest rate benchmark reform. A change in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows is required by interest rate benchmark reform if the following conditions are met: • the change is necessary as a direct consequence of the reform; and • the new basis for determining the contractual cash flow is economically equivalent to the previous basis – i.e. the basis immediately before the change. For this purpose, the hedge designation is amended only to make one or more of the following changes: • designating an alternative benchmark rate as the hedged risk; • updating the description of hedged item, including the description of the designated portion of the cash flows or fair value being hedged; or • updating the description of the hedging instrument. The Group amends the description of the hedging instrument only if the following conditions are met: • it makes a change required by interest rate benchmark reform by changing the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of the hedging instrument or using another approach that is economically equivalent to changing the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of the original hedging instrument; and • the original hedging instrument is not derecognised. The Group amends the formal hedge documentation by the end of the reporting period during which a change required by interest rate benchmark reform is made to the hedged risk, hedged item or hedging instrument. These amendments in the formal hedge documentation do not constitute the discontinuation of the hedging relationship or the designation of a new hedging relationship. If changes are made in addition to those changes required by interest rate benchmark reform described above, then the Group first considers whether those additional changes result in the discontinuation of the hedge accounting relationship. If the additional changes do not result in discontinuation of the hedge accounting relationship, then the Group amends the formal hedge documentation for changes required by interest rate benchmark reform as mentioned above. When the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged future cash flows had been based is changed as required by interest rate benchmark reform, for the purpose of determining whether the hedged future cash flows are expected to occur, the Group deems that the hedging reserve recognised in OCI for the hedging relationship is based on the alternative benchmark rate on which the hedged future cash flows will be based. 31 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 Intra-group financial guarantees in the separate financial statements Financial guarantees are financial instruments issued by the Group that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for the loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to meet payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantees issued are initially measured at fair value and the initial fair value is amortised over the life of the guarantees. Subsequent to initial measurement, the financial guarantees are measured at the higher of the amortised amount and the amount of loss allowance. Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Expected credit losses are measured for financial guarantees issued as the expected payments to reimburse the holder less any amounts that the Group expects to recover. 3.7 Impairment Non-derivative financial assets The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss and financial guarantee contracts. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognised for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, the Group applies the low credit risk simplification. At every reporting date, the Group evaluates whether the debt instrument is considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. The Group considers a financial asset potentially in default when contractual payments are 180 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. 32 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amounts are estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit (“CGU”) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows and are utilised by more than one CGU. Corporate assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and tested for impairment as part of the testing of the CGU to which the corporate asset is allocated. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Such reversal of impairment is recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in an associate or a joint venture is not recognised separately, and therefore is not tested for impairment separately. Instead, the entire amount of the investment in an associate or a joint venture is tested for impairment as a single asset when there is objective evidence that the investment in an associate or a joint venture may be impaired. 3.8 Accrued revenue Revenue accrual estimates are made to account for the unbilled amount at the reporting date. 3.9 Contract balances Progress billings to customers are based on a payment schedule in the contract and are typically triggered upon achievement of specified contractual milestones. A contract asset is recognised when the Group has performed under the contract but has not yet billed the customer. Conversely, a contract liability is recognised when the Group has not yet performed under the contract but has received advanced payments from the customer. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights to consideration become unconditional. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue as the Group performs under the contract. Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment. Note 3.7 sets out the accounting policy on impairment of financial assets. 33 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 3.10 Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. Environmental Environmental provision is made for the rehabilitation of sites based on the estimated costs of the rehabilitation. The liability includes the costs of reclamation, plant closure and dismantling, and waste site closure. The liability is determined based on the present value of the obligation. Annual adjustments to the liability are recognised in profit or loss over the estimated life of the sites. The costs are estimated based on assumptions of current legal requirements and technologies. Any changes in estimates are dealt with on a prospective basis. Onerous contracts A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract. 3.11 Government grant Capital grant is recognised on a straight-line basis and taken to profit or loss over the periods necessary to match the depreciation of the assets purchased with the government grants. Operating grant is taken to profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred. 3.12 Deferred construction cost compensation Deferred construction cost compensation received to defray costs relating to the construction of an asset are accounted for as a government grant. Note 3.11 sets out the government grant accounting policy. 3.13 Deferred income Deferred income comprises (i) government grants for the purchase of depreciable assets, (ii) contributions made by certain customers towards the cost of capital projects received prior to 1 July 2009 and (iii) compensation received to defray operating expenses. Government grants and customer contributions Deferred income is recognised on a straight-line basis and taken to profit or loss over the periods necessary to match the depreciation of the assets purchased with the government grants and customers’ contribution. 3.14 Regulatory deferral account (“RDA”) debit or credit balances Use of system charges, transportation of gas, district cooling services and Market Support Services fees Regulatory deferral account debit or credit balances represent timing differences between revenue recognised for financial reporting purposes and revenue earned for regulatory purposes. Movements in the regulatory deferral account debit or credit balances are recognised in profit or loss over the periods necessary to adjust revenue recognised for financial reporting purposes to revenue earned for regulatory purposes based on services rendered. 34 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2024 At the end of each regulatory period, adjustments for amounts to be recovered or refunded are taken to profit or loss as net movement in regulatory deferral account balances. 3.15 Price regulation and licence The Group’s operations in Singapore are regulated under the Electricity Licence for Transmission Licensee, Electricity Licence for Market Support Services Licensee, Gas Licence, and the District Cooling Services Licence issued by the Energy Market Authority (“EMA”) of Singapore. Allowed revenue to be earned from the supply and transmission of electricity, transportation of gas and the provision of market support services is regulated based on certain formulae and parameters set out in those licences, relevant acts and codes. Allowed revenue for district cooling corresponds to the quantum which the Group is entitled to under Condition 13 (Economic Regulation) of its District Cooling Services Licence issued by the Energy Market Authority of Singapore. Revenue recognised for financial reporting purposes may differ from revenue earned for regulatory purposes due to revenue or volume variances. This may result in adjustments that may increase or decrease tariffs in succeeding periods. Amounts to be recovered or refunded are brought to account as adjustments to net movement in regulatory deferral account debit or credit balances in the income statement in the period in which the Group becomes entitled to the recovery or liable for the refund. The Group’s capital expenditure may vary from its regulatory plan and is subject to a review by the EMA. The results of the variances in capital expenditure may be translated into price adjustments, if any, in the following reset period.

ENCIK Johari Marzuki telah menghidap penyakit ginjal sejak 23 tahun lalu apabila organ itu didapati tidak lagi berfungsi menghapuskan toksin daripada darah. Walaupun kerap berasa letih disebabkan kesukaran bernafas, pegawai teknikal kanan bersama Singapore Power itu tidak pernah menjadikan masalah kesihatan sebagai alasan baginya mengambil sikap sambil lewa di tempat kerja. Pernah sekali Encik Johari membatalkan sesi rawatan dialisis bagi menjawab panggilan kecemasan tentang kebocoran gas yang berlaku selepas waktu kerja. “Saya tunda sesi rawatan dialisis itu kepada keesokan hari. Ia dibolehkan kerana NKF (Yayasan Buah Pinggang Kebangsaan) faham bahawa kami, pesakit yang bekerja, kadangkala mempunyai tugas yang tidak dapat dielakkan,” kata Encik Johari, 54 tahun. Begitulah antara cara bapa empat anak itu menunjukkan betapa beliau menghargai sokongan yang diberi majikannya meskipun tahu beliau mengalami masalah ginjal. Teknisyen tidak ambil sikap sambil lewa meski kerap letih TERUS TABAH: Encik Johari Marzuki telah menghidap penyakit ginjal sejak 23 tahun lalu, namun terus bersikap positif dan memberi yang terbaik di tempat kerja. Encik Johari berkata fikirannya berkecamuk apabila disahkan menghidap penyakit ginjal pada 1990 kerana takut dibuang kerja dan tidak mampu membiayai kos rawatan. Mujur Lembaga Perbekalan Awam (PUB), majikannya pada waktu itu sebelum Singapore Power ditubuhkan, mengekalkan Encik Johari sebagai pekerja. Malah, Encik Johari diberi peluang sama seperti pekerja lain untuk mendaki tangga kerjaya. “Selepas didiagnosis menghidap masalah ginjal, saya beritahu diri saya bahawa saya perlu bekerja dua kali lebih keras berbanding teknisyen lain,” kata Encik Johari. Tidak sekadar itu, Singapore Power turut membantu membiaya perbelanjaan perubatan Encik Johari dan memberinya masa kerja fleksibel agar beliau dapat meluangkan masa menjalani rawatan dialisis. Namun, Encik Johari berkata beliau tidak mahu mengganggu operasi di tempat kerjanya lalu memilih menjalani rawatan dialisis selepas waktu kerja dari 6 petang hingga 10 malam. Beliau juga jarang sekali mengambil cuti sakit sehingga beberapa kali diberi anugerah kerana tidak menggunakan cuti sakit sepanjang tahun. Encik Johari berharap lebih banyak syarikat akan memberi peluang kepada pesakit ginjal membuktikan kebolehan mereka, namun menekankan bahawa pesakit sendiri harus menunjukkan bahawa mereka boleh melakukan tugas dengan sempurna. “Pesakit ginjal harus buktikan kepada majikan bahawa mereka boleh melakukan tanggungjawab mereka dengan baik atau lebih daripada orang sihat,” kata Encik Johari.

Over 1,000 ChargEco EV charging points handed over to SP Mobility after completion of deal Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox During the transition, users can continue to access ChargEco’s charging points through their existing app. ST PHOTO: GAVIN FOO Lee Nian Tjoe Published Jul 02, 2026, 09:01 AM Updated Jul 02, 2026, 05:41 PM Summarise SINGAPORE – More than 1,000 public electric vehicle (EV) charging points in Singapore have been transferred to SP Mobility since June 30, following the completion of its acquisition of rival charging service operator ChargEco. During the transition, ChargEco users can continue to access these charging points through their existing app. Over the next several months, the charging points will be integrated into SP Mobility’s network in phases, according to an announcement by SP Group on July 2. SP Mobility is part of utilities and national grid provider SP Group. There will be no changes to the appearance of the ChargEco charging points, an SP Group spokesperson said in response to The Straits Times’ queries. However, backend management has already shifted, with SP Mobility taking over customer service responsibilities since June 30. Both SP Mobility and ChargEco account holders will be notified by e-mail about the integration, and updates will also be pushed through the two mobile apps and the operators’ websites, said the spokesperson. The majority of these charging points are located in Housing Board carparks in the central and eastern regions of Singapore, with around 4 per cent located in commercial and private residential properties. These include 16 charging points at seven SAFRA clubhouses and six charging points at Levels 5 and 6 of Wisma Atria in Orchard Road. Barring costs arising from regulatory requirements or other factors beyond SP Mobility’s control, the cost to use EV chargers at HDB carparks in the east will not change until May 2029. This three-year price freeze was a commitment given by SP Mobility to the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore to address concerns raised during a public consultation in January. This is because SP Mobility and ChargEco were the only two operators awarded the rights to install chargers at HDB carparks in the eastern region, following the Land Transport Authority’s (LTA) largescale public EV charger roll-out tender in November 2022. It costs 67.8 cents per kWh to use a 7.4kW ChargEco charger in areas like Bedok, Tampines and Pasir Ris, while SP Mobility charges 69.8 cents per kWh for its 7.4kW chargers in these areas. Charging points in HDB carparks in the central region are operated by ChargEco and Charge+. Dean Cher, SP Mobility’s managing director, described the acquisition as “an important step towards a more consolidated and efficient EV charging landscape in Singapore”. Currently, EV-Electric Charging, the LTA subsidiary responsible for the charger roll-out, lists seven operators on its website accounting for 8,275 chargers across Singapore. Of these, SP Mobility has 1,596 charging points, while ChargEco has 1,098. Correction note: This report has been updated to reflect SP’s clarification that ChargEco’s charging points were transferred to SP Mobility on June 30. More on this topic Electric vehicle charging in Singapore must not become a local monopoly Singapore has 30,500 EV charging points; deployment adjusted to serve new BTOs Lee Nian Tjoe is senior transport correspondent at The Straits Times, where he also oversees the Motoring section.

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 License, 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 Town 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. 1 Town Gas Connection Policy and Procedure Updated on: 1 Apr 24 Page 2 1.3 Definitions The following terms shall have the following meanings when used in this document. “Authority” means the Energy Market Authority of Singapore established under the Energy Market Authority of Singapore Act (Cap.92B); “Gas Transporter” or “Transporter” means a representative holding a gas transporter’s license; “Gas Retailer” or “Retailer” means a person who supplies gas to Retail Customers and who holds a Retailer’s license; “Gas Shipper” or “Shipper” means a person holding a gas shipper’s license; “Gas Network Code” refers to the Gas Network Code issued by the Authority, setting out common terms and conditions between the Gas Transporter and Shippers who engage the Gas Transporter to transport natural gas though the gas pipeline network. “DR” known as designated representative means a professional engineer or a licensed gas service worker appointed by the developer or a responsible person for the premises; “PE” known as professional engineer means any person who is registered as a professional engineer in the mechanical engineering discipline under the Professional Engineers Act (Cap. 253); “LGSW” known as licensed gas service worker” means a person who is licensed under section 12 (3) of the Gas Act (Chapter 116A); “gas service work” means any work carried out on any gas installation or gas appliance, in whole or in part, including any design, construction, installation, commissioning, erection, testing, repair, addition, alteration or maintenance work; “gas service isolation valve (“GSIV”)” means a valve, located at or near the boundary line of any property or the apron of any building, used by a gas transporter to isolate the supply of gas to that property or building; “gas service pipe” means a pipe or any part thereof, other than a gas main, used for the purpose of conveying gas from a gas main to a gas service isolation valve, and includes any pipe owned by, or under the management or control of, a gas transporter which is used for the purpose of conveying gas from the gas service isolation valve to the meter at a consumer’s premises as defined in the Gas Act (Chapter 116A); “gas fitting” includes any pipe, valve, meter, regulator or other device for the control, measurement and use of gas as defined in the Gas Act (Chapter 116A); 2 Town Gas Connection Policy and Procedure Updated on: 1 Apr 24 Page 3 “Gas installation” means a discrete grouping of gas fittings linking a gas service pipe to a gas appliance as defined in the Gas Act (Chapter 116A); “Gas Meter Control Valve” means a valve at the inlet of any meter used for the purpose of turning on or off a supply of gas through such meter to any gas installation as defined in the Gas (Supply) Regulations; “Meter Installation” means any meter and its associated equipment and installation including associated pipework, filter, valve, pressure regulating equipment, seal, housing, mounting, telemetry equipment, gas chromatograph and flow computer 1.4 Codes of Practices and Regulatory Requirements This connection procedure shall be read in conjunction with the provisions in the Gas Act, Gas (Supply) Regulations, Gas (Metering) Regulations, Gas Supply Code, Gas Metering Code, Singapore Standard, SS608 – Code of Practice for Gas Installation and relevant Retailer’s Handbook of Gas Supply, where applicable.
