MEDIA RELEASE ELECTRICITY TARIFF REVISION FOR THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY TO 31 MARCH 2023 Singapore, 30 December 2022 – For the period from 1 January to 31 March 2023, electricity tariff (before GST) will decrease by an average of 2.7% or 0.79 cent per kWh compared with the previous quarter. This is due to lower energy costs compared with the previous quarter. For households, the electricity tariff (before GST) will decrease from 29.74 to 28.95 cents per kWh for the period 1 January to 31 March 2023. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in HDB four-room flats will decrease by $2.63 (before GST). *before GST SP Group reviews the electricity tariffs every quarter based on guidelines set by the electricity industry regulator, Energy Market Authority (EMA). Please refer to Appendix 1 for the components of the electricity tariff, Appendix 2 for the tariffs approved by EMA, and Appendix 3 for the average monthly electricity bills for households. Issued by: SP Group 2 Kallang Sector Singapore 349277 www.spgroup.com.sg Appendix 1 BREAKDOWN OF ELECTRICITY TARIFF 1. The electricity tariff consists of the following four components: a) Energy costs (paid to the generation companies): This component is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the cost of fuel and power generation. The fuel cost is the cost of imported natural gas, which is tied to oil prices by commercial contracts. The cost of power generation covers mainly the costs of operating the power stations, such as the manpower and maintenance costs, as well as the capital cost of the stations. b) Network costs (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the cost of transporting electricity through the power grid. c) Market Support Services Fee (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the costs of billing and meter reading, data management, retail market systems as well as market development initiatives. d) Market Administration and Power System Operation Fee (paid to Energy Market Company and Power System Operator): This fee is reviewed annually to recover the costs of operating the electricity wholesale market and power system.

Berita Harian | Selasa, 4 Jun 2019 7 Berita MENJELANG AIDILFITRI SEDIA BERKHIDMAT: (Dari kiri) Encik Norhisham, Encik Ismet dan Encik Najib akan bertugas untuk memastikan orang ramai dapat menyambut Syawal pertama dengan selesa tanpa sebarang gangguan elektrik. – Foto BH oleh ROSLEE ABDUL RAZAK �FAKHRURADZI ISMAIL mfismail@sph.com.sg SAMBUTAN Hari Raya mungkin tidak lengkap tanpa adanya cahaya lampu lap-lip berwarna-warni. Selain dianggap sebagai perhiasan, ia juga menjadi penyeri suasana Lebaran di pekarangan rumah yang sedap dipandang mata tetamu yang berkunjung. Namun bayangkan, sedang anda sibuk melayan tetamu, tiba-tiba bekalan elektrik di estet perumahan anda terputus dan seluruh rumah bertukar menjadi kelam. Jika situasi sebegini berlaku, antara mereka yang pertama yang akan tiba ke lokasi adalah Encik Ismet Imran Chuma’ing dan pasukannya. Dalam beberapa minit, beliau dan pasukannya dari Unit Penjana Bergerak SP Group akan ‘berkejar’ ke kawasan terjejas. Mereka akan membawa bersama mereka penjana kuasa yang dipasang pada treler sepanjang 30 kaki yang menampung 2,000 liter diesel – cukup untuk menjana kuasa elektrik untuk estet perumahan sehingga lapan jam. Siap ‘dikerah’ jika ada kejadian bekalan elektrik terputus Tugas Encik Ismet memerlukan beliau untuk sentiasa bersedia 24 jam hampir setiap hari untuk dikerah jika kejadian bekalan elektrik terputus di Singapura – termasuk pada hujung minggu dan juga cuti umum. “Dalam menjalankan kerja kami, kami perlu sentiasa bersedia untuk bertindak pantas bagi memberi sokongan apabila berlakunya gangguan elektrik. “Kadangkala, kami perlu kembali bekerja sewaktu hari cuti kami, untuk memberi sokongan tambahan kepada pasukan bertugas jika kes itu rumit,” kata Encik Ismet, 47 tahun, Juruteknik Kanan, Operasi Elektrik di unit tersebut. Terdapat sebanyak tujuh pasukan yang akan bertugas secara syif sepanjang lapan jam setiap masa dan setiap pasukan mempunyai tiga anggota. Disebabkan jadual pekerjaan yang padat dan tidak menentu, Encik Ismet yang bertugas bersama Encik Norhisham Abdul Wahid, 35 tahun dan Encik Mohd Najib Jalil, 38 tahun dalam satu pasukan, juga terpaksa mengorbankan waktu bersama keluarga dalam menyambut Syawal pertama. Tahun ini, giliran mereka untuk bekerja syif malam. Bagi mereka, ia bukanlah satu perkara yang baru Source: Berita Harian © Singapore Press Holdings Limited.

Namun begitu, sambutan Syawal masih cukup meriah di pejabat mereka. Jamuan kuih serta hidangan Raya dibekalkan dari rumah untuk dikongsikan bersama. “Memang setiap raya menjadi kebiasan kami untuk membawa hidangan lauk raya dan kuih ke pejabat...jadi tidak sunyi sangat dan masih ada ‘feel’ Hari Raya. “Pernah juga sesetengah kami yang akan ke tempat kerja siap dengan berpakaian baju kurung dan samping, lepas habis berjalan Raya.” seloroh Encik Ismet lagi. “Sedih memang sedih tetapi kami sudah biasa kerana kami tahu ini tanggungjawab kami. Mujur tahun ini kami bertugas syif malam, jadi ada peluang untuk pergi solat Raya dan mengunjungi sanak-saudara lain pada sebelah siang. Kalau terpaksa bekerja syif pagi atau petang pada Hari Raya, kami akan memastikan kami memberitahu keluarga kami dan membuat perancangan yang sesuai.

[Info] FAQs - SP Group’s Electric Vehicle Charging Network (Mar 19)https://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:9e465810-993e-4a22-9549-ef0e96c11ebd/FAQs%20-%20SP%20Group's%20Electric%20Vehicle%20Charging%20Network.pdf
FAQs – SP Group’s Electric Vehicle Charging Network How do I get access to EV charging on the SP Utilities app? Download the SP Utilities app on your compatible phone and follow these steps: 1. Tap on “Explore” within the bottom navigation bar 2. Access the EV Charging page by tapping on the EV Charging icon 3. Follow the onscreen instructions to begin charging Where can I find the charging stations in Singapore to charge my EV? The list of charging locations are available on the app. The list will be expanded progressively as SP Group grows the charging network in Singapore. Why does DC charging automatically stop before my battery is full? In order to prolong battery life, some EVs are designed to automatically stop or slow down DC charging after their batteries have reached around 85-95% charge. This threshold is not imposed by the SP charging station. For more details, please consult your EV manufacturer. Can I continue parking in the EV charging lot after my charging session? As good etiquette within the EV community, please move your EV within 30 minutes from the end of your charging session. Are your outdoor chargers safe to use during rain, lightning and adverse weather conditions? Our charging stations comply with all relevant safety standards. However, in the event of heavy rain and/or lightning, please refrain from using charging points located in unsheltered areas. How do power ratings affect my charging time? The power rating of a charging point is measured in kilowatts (kW) and is the maximum rate at which a charging point can transfer electricity to an EV's battery. Actual charging time depends on the EV’s design (e.g. battery size, capacity of on-board charger, compatibility with AC and/or DC chargers). DC charging (also known as fast charging) occurs at a higher power rating compared to AC charging. This allows EV batteries to be charged faster. To use DC charging, your EV must be compatible. To check if your EV can support DC charging, please consult your EV manufacturer. How are my fees calculated? Fees will be calculated on a per kilowatt-hour (kWh) basis. The kWh is a unit of measurement for electricity consumption. For example, a EV charging at a rate of 43kW for one hour will consume 43kWh. Your fees are equal to the electricity consumed during your charging session (kWh) multiplied by the Applicable Rate ($/kWh). Will the charging points be able to accommodate all types of electric vehicles? As long as your electric vehicle adheres to Singapore’s national standards, which is Type 2 AC and Combo 2 DC, your vehicle will be able to charge on our network. Can I charge on the SP network if I am driving a plug-in hybrid EV (“PHEV”)? Yes, you can. However, some PHEVs are not built to utilize our faster charging stations. Please check with your car manufacturer for details. Meanwhile, we are working hard to install 22kW rated charging stations, which are more suitable for PHEVs. If I am interested to have charging points installed in my premises for public use, how do I get in touch? We welcome interested parties to contact us at emobility@spgroup.com.sg.

Energy Saving Tipshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:45a88db1-f6ed-441b-96e4-cadcb85f4b9c/Energy%20Saving%20Tips.pdf
Energy Saving Tips for Consumers BEDROOM Air Conditioner • Use fans instead of air-conditioners to keep cool. • If using fans alone is not enough to keep cool, run the air-conditioner for about an hour before switching to the fan. • Service your air-conditioners regularly. Besides the filters, the condition of other components such as the refrigerant, pipe and motor also affects energy efficiency. • Clean the filters regularly. Dirty filters impede airflow and cause energy wastage • Set the air-conditioner temperature to 25℃ or higher. The lower the temperature, the more electricity used. • Choose an inverter air-conditioner. • Shut the doors and windows when using air-conditioners. Computer • Switch off your computer completely when not in use for long periods. • Enable the power management features of your computer, such as switching to lower power sleep mode or hibernation mode after idling for a certain amount of time (e.g., more than 5 minutes). • Choose a laptop over a desktop as laptops consume less electricity. Iron • Start with clothes that require lower temperatures (e.g., silk and wool) before ironing those that require higher temperatures (e.g., cotton). This will prevent unnecessary heating, cooling, reheating. • Select the temperatures for the various fabrics. Overheating the iron will not only waste electricity, but also damage your clothes. BATHROOM Water Heater • If you have an instantaneous water heater, switch it on before you shower and switch it off immediately after use. • Cut down on long showers. Taking shorter showers save both electricity and water. Did you know? Unlike instantaneous water heaters, storage water heaters continue to use energy to heat water when they are left switched on. KITCHEN Refrigerator • Cover liquids and food stored in the refrigerator. Uncovered items release moisture, forcing the compressor to work harder to keep the temperature low. • Allow food to cool before putting them into the refrigerator. Hot food causes the compressor to work harder to keep the temperature low. • Do not overload the refrigerator to ensure that cold air can circulate freely. • Do not place the refrigerator near heat sources such as stoves, ovens or direct sunlight. The higher the ambient temperature, the more energy the refrigerator consumes. Instead, place the refrigerator in a cool place with good circulation. • Allow some space around the refrigerator to enable heat to escape from the compressor and condensing coil. • Do not open the refrigerator door unnecessarily. • Do not leave the refrigerator door open longer than necessary. Decide what you need from the refrigerator beforehand. • Set the refrigerator to the recommended temperature. • Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator instead of using the microwave oven. • Ensure that your refrigerator door seals are airtight. Electric Airport • Boil water only when needed. • Use a thermal flask to store hot water. KITCHEN Cooking Habits • Cover the pot while cooking. Food cooks faster in covered pots. • Match the size of the pot with the size of the burner. Energy is lost when small pots are used on larger burners. • Use a microwave oven to cook or warm leftovers instead of a conventional oven. • Use an over timer instead of opening the oven door to check your food. • Clean your cooking appliances regularly so that heat can be transferred more efficiently. • Check the seal on your oven door for cracks or tears to retain heat more effectively. • Plan your cooking procedures and prepare your ingredients ahead to reduce unnecessary energy usage. Washing Machine and Dryer • Wash with an optimal laundry load to maximise energy savings. • Use the right amount of detergent to avoid washing or rinsing the load unnecessarily. • Pre-soak or use a soak cycle for heavily soiled garments to avoid two washing cycles. • Use the economy mode to save energy. • Select a clothes dryer with energy-saving features, such as the ability to strop drying once it senses that the clothes are sufficiently dry. • Dry with an optimal laundry load whenever possible. Save even more energy by air-drying lightweight items and using the clothes dryer only for heavier items. • Choose a clothes dryer of suitable capacity that meets your family needs. LIVING ROOM Lighting • Choose energy-saving lighting such as compact fluorescent lamps and LED bulbs. Avoid incandescent lamps. • Use dimmers, timers or sensors to control the level and duration of lighting needed. • Clean lamps and light fixtures regularly. Dust on lamps and reflectors reduces light transmission. • Whenever possible, use natural light for your lighting needs. Television • Dim the light while watching television. This saves electricity while cutting glare from the screen. • Always switch off your TV set-top box at the power socket as it consumes the highest standby power. • Lower the brightness and contrast settings of your TV. Standby Mode • Switch off your home appliances at the power socket when they are not in use. Standby power can account for up to 10% of your home energy use.
