2 | TOP STORIES The Business Times | Monday, August 12, 2019 Charging power still a chicken-and-egg gripe for electric fleets Private players moving into charging market amid relative paucity of charging points By Annabeth Leow leowhma@sph.com.sg @AnnabethLeowBT and Navin Sregantan navinsre@sph.com.sg @NavinSreBT Singapore DESPITE plans to drive pollutive petrol and diesel cars into history, electric vehicles (EVs) have still struggled to lose their training wheels. The relative paucity of charging points has been held up as a “critical gap” in Singapore’s electric road map. But, even as policymakers look at fleetwide electrification for larger transport companies, private players are moving into the charging market, with the state-owned SP Group leading in its target for charging stations. In a surprise Budget 2019 move, Singapore’s excise duty on diesel was doubled to S$0.20 a litre in February. But more charging points would spur investment in EVs, industry players said – the carrot to the tax hike’s stick. Bain had estimated in a recent report that South-east Asia’s annual investment in charging infrastructure would be US$500 million by 2030. SP Group, which is owned by state investment firm Temasek Holdings, now manages 50 of the country’s roughly 200 public charging points. It is gunning for 1,000 points by next year, including 250 fast-charging DC stations, which can charge a battery in half an hour. SP Group is not the sole provider of public charging points in the city state. Greenlots, owned by Shell since January, first began operations in Singapore in 2010. It runs 34 charging points across 23 spaces, with most in the central business district. Since May, Red Dot Power’s electric charging operations have been funnelled through sister company REVO Charge. It operates seven charging points, with plans to hit 50 points in public and private areas. And, as BlueSG marked its first anniversary in Singapore, the availability of public charging stations was given a boost with the electric car-sharing platform opening up 99 charging points across 25 locations. Meanwhile, Swiss industrial vendor ABB, which already provides the equipment used by SP Group, will supply charging infrastructure for the operators behind two-thirds of “One of the challenges in Singapore is the size of the market – which will limit the logic of having too many different networks competing with one another.” Bain partner Dale Hardcastle Singapore’s 60 electric buses in 2020. Jagwinder Singh, Singapore general manager of overland and distribution for Kuehne + Nagel, called islandwide charging availability “a key consideration” in the logistics multinational’s decision to roll out two light-duty Renault electric vans last year. But Goh Chee Kiong, head of strategic development at SP Group, noted that charging infrastructure – which the Bain report called a chicken-and-egg issue – now makes for “a critical gap, often expressed by prospective EV buyers in their considerations”. “One of the challenges in Singapore is the size of the market – which will limit the logic of having too many different networks competing with one another,” Bain partner Dale Hardcastle later told The Business Times. “It may be more logically and faster to have few networks set up by single parties of consortium to accelerate the pace of development.” Johan de Villiers, managing director for Singapore and South-east Asia at ABB, told BT that, as the sector evolves, “the need for collaboration is greater than ever”, as businesses like his will have to work with manufacturers and operators on issues such as technology standards. But Vijay Sirse, chief executive of REVO Charge, said operators are still trying to build up their own bases. “There are also technical challenges for roaming that must be addressed – for example, the harmonisation of different communication and data transfer technologies,” said Mr Sirse. “Another challenge is the safe and secure exchange of consumer usage data.” Tan Kong Hwee, executive director for mobility at the Economic Development Board (EDB), told BT that charging infrastructure providers must figure out the business case for their own solutions and services. “Thereafter, they could become the first movers in Singapore’s transition to EVs,” he said. “(The) EDB will continue to engage various fleet players – including logistics companies – to understand how fleet electrification could benefit their businesses.” Christopher Leck, deputy group director of technology and industry development at the Land Transport Authority (LTA), had told the Credit Suisse Global Supertrends Conference in April that “it makes sense” to The total cost of ownership for EVs may also yield more favourable economics for commercial fleet owners that have higher-intensity operations with light vehicles or lorries ..., the Bain report says. BT FILE PHOTO focus on electrifying large fleets of buses, lorries and taxis, rather than private, individually owned vehicles. ComfortDelGro Corp, which has some 12,000 cabs on Singapore’s roads, tied up with Greenlots in 2018 to run a fast-charging station through an engineering unit. It plans to open a second such station later this year. These charging stations support ComfortDelGro’s four fully electric Hyundai Ioniq and Kona taxis, which are part of an ongoing trial. Those drivers can also use other Greenlots charging services, and a charging station at Komoco Motors in Alexandra. Bain has suggested that commercial fleets will help to flip the switch in the region, as fleet owners “may develop their own charging infrastructure and only would need to make outside investments (or tap third parties) for top-up charging” elsewhere. The total cost of ownership for EVs may also yield more favourable economics for commercial fleet owners that have higher-intensity operations with light vehicles or lorries – especially in markets such as Singapore with higher fuel costs, the report added. Bloomberg New Energy Finance has previously reported that “long-haul, heavy-duty trucks will be harder to electricify” and may have to tap natural gas and hydrogen cells. Yet EDB executive director Lee Eng Keat, whose portfolio includes Singapore’s logistics industry cluster, noted at the Invest Asia 2019 conference in May that, “as fleet replacements come, the cost of a diesel or a carbon engine versus an electric vehicle is coming to close up”. Bain pointed to ride-hailing firm Grab, which has deals with SP Group and car maker Hyundai to lease and manage 200 electric vehicles here until year-end. It suggested that food delivery fleets could follow Grab’s lead – although, when asked what other sectors might go electric, Mr Hardcastle said that logistics providers will need to wait for more EV options to hit the market, while public buses rely on larger and costlier batteries, making a switch a matter of “a few more years”. But “BlueSG and other car sharing services would be able to capture similar benefits to fleets like Grab or Go-Jek, depending upon their business and leading model”, he added. “When looking at charging capacity for buses and trucks, the industry is currently limited to a maximum charge of 600kW,” noted ABB’s Mr de Villiers. “However, there is also significant potential for evolution in this sector, with 1MW charging possible in the not-too-distant future.” Grab’s fleet electrification was part of a joint government trial – which, a spokesman for the LTA told BT, has found out that shared-car fleets could reap economies of scale “with higher daily mileage and potentially lower running costs” than private vehicles. Mr Leck said that the LTA has worked with infrastructure vendors and hopes to “proliferate these sorts of charging infrastructure” publicly. “But, for most of these companies... the primary purpose, as in the case of BlueSG, is really to provision infrastructure for their own shared vehicles first,” he acknowledged. Meanwhile, Kuehne + Nagel’s Mr Singh said that the group will increase its number of EVs here “as the range of EVs improve, the size of the vehicle increases and there are more charging points along our transportation routes in commercial areas”. With the two electric vans now charged at the group’s logistics hub in Pioneer Crescent, “an increase in the number of charging points across the island would have a positive impact on our plans to increase our EV investment in Singapore”, he said, adding that government funding “would help to defray costs and accelerate the transformation” as well. BT Infographics Are we there yet? The central question regarding the growth of electric vehicle (EV) use in Singapore is whether infrastructure needs to be developed first before interest in EVs pick ups among individuals and business owners. The answer is somewhere in between. In the last couple of years, cheaper running costs and more affordable variants of electric vehicles have sprouted up, together with more public and private charging facilties being built.There were 560 electric cars in Singapore last year compared with 12 in 2016. Electric goods and services vehicles have more than doubled in that time. Here is a breakdown of vehicle charging stations available for public use.

In celebration of its first year here, BlueSG opened up a select group of charging stations for public use. Since late April, drivers of electric vehicles were able to charge their rides at HDB, URA & JTC carparks at 99 charging points across 25 locations in Singapore. While drivers are slowly shifting to electric vehicles, Jenny Lim, BlueSG's commercial and network director notes that currently, BlueSG has 30,000 rentals a month across its 465 BlueCar fleet from 6,000 a year ago. SP Group started operating public charging stations in January and currently has opened 54 electric vehicle charging points across 12 locations with plans to operate 1,000 charging points in Singapore by 2020. The points comprise 50kW direct current (DC) chargers, which are able to fully power up a vehicle in 30 minutes, and 43kW alternating current (AC) chargers. The grid operator's head of strategic development Goh Chee Kiong said that in the past two years, the company started replacing its fleet of vehicles with electric ones and through that, realised that there was a need to address a critical gap in electric vehicle charging infrastructure. An early mover into the electric vehicle charging space, Greenlots commenced operations in 2010 to address the lack of dedicated infrastructure for EV charging. In January, it was acquired by oil major Royal Dutch Shell where it is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell New Energies. It continues to grow its footprint with 34 public charging points across 23 locations, with half of them concentrated in the central business district. It is in discussions with other parties to expand reach and accessibility of electric vehicle charging points in Singapore. It operates many charging points in condominiums and office buildings. Red Dot Power has had its eye on the EV charging business as part of the firm’s strategic plan to offer a one-stop energy solution for buildings. Since May, its electric charging operations are funnelled through sister company REVO Charge, a wholly owned entity of homegrown energy services company vTrium Energy. REVO Charge currently has seven public chargers in operations with the rest of its chargers being private chargers or pending commissioning. Six of those public chargers are at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre and one is at Holland Road Shopping Centre. Two more are under installation at Gardens By The Bay. REVO Charge is on track to hit its target of 50 EV chargers (both private and public) by the end of 2019.

B14 | The Sunday Times | Sunday, September 1, 2019 Me & My Property Before investing in properties, entrepreneur Gerald Tan researches extensively such as viewing listings online. B11 The Energy Market Authority stated earlier this year that consumers who have switched out of buying electricity from SP Power to one of the 12 electricity retailers pay a rate that is about 20 to 30 per cent lower than the regulated tariff. ST FILE PHOTO Open electricity market: How to save energy and money About 34% of household consumers made switch, most on 24-month standard price plan Lorna Tan Invest Editor The nationwide roll-out of the Open Electricity Market (OEM) has been completed so consumers have the power to choose who to buy electricity from and potentially lower their power bills. The roll-out started with a soft launch to households and businesses in Jurong in April last year and ended with the last zone in May, with around 1.6 million accounts or households connected. You would have received a notification package and a booklet on how to switch out of buying electricity from SP Power to one of the 12 retailers. The option to choose from these electricity retailers comes with benefits like competitive pricing and innovative offers such as cash rebates if paying via selected credit cards. About 34 per cent of household consumers have made a switch. The Energy Market Authority (EMA) stated earlier this year that consumers who have switched pay an electricity rate that is about 20 to 30 per cent lower than the regulated tariff. Retailers are offering rates ranging from 17.66 cents/kWh (kilowatt hour ) to 23.01 cents/kWh for their fixed price plans and discounts ranging from 14.5 per cent to 25 per cent off the regulated tariff plans. Most households that switched signed up for 24-month standard price plans. The fixed-price plans have seen a higher take-up than the discount off the regulated tariff plans, the EMA said. Bear in mind that you should buy electricity only from retailers authorised by the EMA. And buying electricity from a retailer does not change the way power is physically supplied to you because SP will continue to operate the national grid. For those who have not switched to an electricity retailer, there is no time pressure as you can change at any time and you can continue to buy electricity from SP at the regulated tariff as you do today. The Sunday Times highlights the role of SP, and the various plans and factors to consider so you can make an informed decision on the price plan that best suits your needs. SP’s role in OEM SP does not generate or sell electricity. It buys it from power generation companies and distributes it to consumers at zero markup. SP has continued to own, operate and maintain the national electricity grid since the OEM. It transmits and distributes electricity to all consumers. This ensures a reliable supply, regardless of your choice of retailer. SP also acts as a safeguard. If a retailer ceases operations, SP Group will take over the accounts at the default tariff price and continue to supply electricity to consumers. SP’s Wholesale Price Plan Consumers can choose from any of the 12 retailers (the list may change over time), selecting one of the many price plans that best suits their needs. Some consumers may not be aware that they can also buy directly from the wholesale electricity market via SP. This is because SP offers two price plans – the regulated tariff and a wholesale price.

Residential customers had the option of the wholesale price when their respective zones opened up, starting with Jurong in April last year. Price plans available to consumers REGULATED TARIFF This price plan is regulated and set by the EMA quarterly. The tariff takes into consideration the longterm cost of producing electricity and looks to protect consumers from volatile oil and gas prices. As this is a regulated price, SP does not have the flexibility of lowering it by bundling with other offers and service partners. Who is suited for this? Typically, consumers with low electricity consumption prefer to stick to the option they are familiar with and not bother with gimmicks or additional terms and conditions. The tariffed price is stable and regulated. WHOLESALE ELECTRICITY PRICE You can choose to buy electricity directly from the wholesale market at no mark-up. As the prices are determined by market forces, they are the lowest price out there. However, prices fluctuate due to demand and supply of real-time electricity consumption across Singapore. On a day when heavy industries consume a lot of electricity, the demand is high and hence the price is higher compared with night hours when these heavy industries shut down. Who is suited for this? This can be considered by consumers who are more savvy, who do not mind the volatility of real-time electricity costs that change every 30 minutes, and if they tend to consume power more in the night (for example, by using air conditioning) when prices are cheaper than in the day time. In addition, there is no fixed term tied to this option so you can terminate as and when you want. RETAIL PRICE There are multiple plans that are offered by retailers. They can be grouped into: • Fixed price – A fixed price per kilowatt of electricity. A household on this plan will pay a constant rate (for example, 20 cents/kWh) throughout the contract duration. Note that the rates retailers offer may be higher or lower than the regulated tariff. • Discount-off tariff – Discount based on a fixed percentage off the regulated tariff. The family that opts for this plan will get a fixed discount off the prevailing regulated tariff (for example, 5 per cent) throughout the contract duration. The regulated tariff is reviewed by SP Group quarterly and approved by the EMA. While these two plans are relatively cheaper compared with the regulated tariff and could be creatively bundled with other offerings and service partners, they look at the short-term cost of producing electricity, which is why they tend to be tied to a one- or two-year lock-up period. Who is suited for this? It is important that you understand the terms and conditions before signing up for a plan. Check things like whether you need to pay a fee if you terminate the plan and make a switch. Do not make the decision to switch to a retailer simply based on price. Assess your lifestyle needs and consumption patterns. In general, if you are looking at locking up a fixed price for the next one or two years, getting a fixedpriced plan is an option. Others who would like a fixed discount over the regulated tariff can opt for the discount-off tariff plan. Some retailers also offer green-energy plans that are catered towards consumers who want to do their part for the environment. Making comparisons There are more than 100 different plans offered by electricity retailers. You can visit compare.openelectricitymarket.sg to make price comparisons. Seedly has also launched an Electricity Market price comparison tool which compares the plans based on user reviews, rates, housing type, promotional codes and deals in the market. Over at UOB Bank, its UOB Utility Marketplace makes it easy for consumers to compare providers and plans through its Electricity Price Plan Recommender. lornatan@sph.com.sg Understanding the electricity tariff SP Group does not have a retailer licence and can only supply electricity to consumers at the regulated tariff rate. About 75 per cent of the tariff goes directly to generation companies as SP passes down the cost directly without any mark-up. Approximately 24 per cent of the regulated tariff goes to SP for grid charges and a market-support services fee. This component of the tariff works out to approximately five to six cents, and goes towards operating, maintaining and upgrading the national electricity grid. While energy costs have gone up and down through the years, SP says the fees for maintaining the grid have been kept stable over the past decade. SP Group is believed to be the most reliable energy distributor in the world, based on the average length of electricity interruption experienced by users. According to the System Average Interruption Duration Index, Singapore’s score is under a minute, next best is Osaka at five minutes. Energy-saving tips Electricity is generated here by burning natural gas and oil, which releases pollutants and greenhouse gases. These trap heat from the sun and keep it from escaping, causing the earth to become warmer, which in turn changes climates everywhere. When we use electricity wisely, there will be less pollution and fewer greenhouse gases. So it’s important to do our part to practise good energy conservation habits. Here are some household energy-savings tips from Singapore Power and the National Environment Agency. LIVING ROOM • Choose energy-saving lighting such as LED bulbs instead of incandescent lamps. • Always switch off electrical appliances at the power socket. Standby power can account for up to 10 per cent of home energy use. BEDROOM • Service your air-conditioners and clean the filters regularly to ensure optimal working condition. • Set the air-conditioner temperature to 25 deg C or higher. The lower the temperature, the more electricity is used. • Close doors and windows when the air-conditioning is on. • Use a laptop instead of desktop as it uses less electricity. KITCHEN • 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 it into the refrigerator. Hot food causes the compressor to work harder to keep the temperature low. • Match the size of the pot with the size of the burner. This is because energy is lost when small pots are used on larger burners. • Wash with an optimal load to maximise energy savings. Lorna Tan Publishedandprinted bySingapore Press Holdings Limited.

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.
