SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Calculate Your Carbon Footprint, Here’s Why it Matters SUSTAINABILITY Countries are experiencing cleaner skies due to slowdown in air travel during COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought air travel almost to a halt since the start of this year. As countries begin to ease air travel restrictions, many local residents may be looking forward to a much-needed getaway to their favourite vacation spots. According to a Guardian article in 2019, a long-haul flight emits more carbon emissions than the total emissions produced in a year by the citizens of some countries[1]. Besides air travel, there has been a huge surge in single-use plastics. Based on a TODAY Online report, an extra 1,334 tonnes of plastic waste was generated from takeaway and delivery meals in Singapore, during the Circuit Breaker period[2]. This is equivalent to the weight of 92 double-decker buses! Of all the plastic waste generated last year, ninety-six per cent was incinerated[3]. Around 3 per cent of our total greenhouse gas emissions were generated from the waste incineration process in Singapore[4]. So, how can individuals track and reduce their carbon emissions? SP Group (SP) has developed a carbon footprint calculator, which anyone can use to track the impact of daily activities and lifestyle. My Carbon Footprint enables consumers to keep tabs on the environmental impact of their energy consumption and lifestyle choices. Called My Carbon Footprint, this new feature in the SP Utilities app enables users to calculate their carbon emissions and the results are referenced against the national average. These projections are based on local data such as food consumption, driving conditions and air travel originating from Singapore. The calculator also draws its projection from common lifestyle and spending habits in Singapore, such as purchase of clothing and footwear, recreational activities or communication, to name a few. Most importantly, the calculator provides practical tips on reducing carbon footprint. My Carbon Footprint is the latest feature in the app, which also equips users to monitor and reduce their energy consumption. The SP Utilities app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Empowering Consumers To Track And Reduce Their Carbon Footprints SUSTAINABILITY SP Group is creating a Carbon Footprint Tracker to enable all 1.6 million household and business consumers in Singapore to track and reduce their carbon footprint. Through simulation tools, consumers can calculate their carbon emission from their daily activities such as mode of transport and air travel, consumption habits, buying habits and energy use. With the information, they can take steps to reduce their impact on the environment. The tool will also incorporate gamification for consumers to engage in healthy competition with other household members, neighbours and friends to achieve their green targets. The Carbon Footprint Tracker will be available on the SP Utilities App by December 2019, with additional features progressively added in the first half of 2020. — 24 October 2019 TAGS SP UTILITIES MOBILE APPSUSTAINABILITYCARBON FOOTPRINT TRACKERINNOVATION YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ SP Group’s Integrated Energy Solutions to Power Rangsit University’s Green Energy Transformation SP is partnering Rangsit University (RSU) in Thailand to transform RSU’s main campus into a smart energy, low-carbon academic environment.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Going Green while Staying at Home with My Carbon Footprint SUSTAINABILITY Each of us can actively reduce the harmful effects of global warming and combat climate change. SP has launched its Carbon Footprint calculator - My Carbon Footprint, available now on the SP Utilities App.  The upgraded calculator promotes behaviour and lifestyle changes to reduce carbon emissions through greater awareness of the environmental impact from everyday habits such as transportation, use of electrical appliances and even food consumption. Designed and built in-house, My Carbon Footprint comes with additional features from the original version that was launched in December. Users can now track their emissions from not just electricity, but also from water and gas. They can also calculate the total amount of carbon emissions of their daily activities, according to their household profile, mode and duration of commute, frequency of holiday travel, as well as spending and dining habits. This is useful especially with a Singapore household consuming an average of seven per cent more electricity during the months of April to August, due to the hotter months when there is higher usage of air conditioning. With an increase of people staying at home, it also points to higher electricity and water consumption. On average, a consumer in Singapore emits more than eight tonnes of carbon emissions annually due to their lifestyle and consumption patterns. More than 400 rain trees are required to absorb this impact on the environment.

SP has launched its Carbon Footprint calculator - My Carbon Footprint, available now on the SP Utilities App.  The upgraded calculator promotes behaviour and lifestyle changes to reduce carbon emissions through greater awareness of the environmental impact from everyday habits such as transportation, use of electrical appliances and even food consumption. Designed and built in-house, My Carbon Footprint comes with additional features from the original version that was launched in December. Users can now track their emissions from not just electricity, but also from water and gas. They can also calculate the total amount of carbon emissions of their daily activities, according to their household profile, mode and duration of commute, frequency of holiday travel, as well as spending and dining habits. This is useful especially with a Singapore household consuming an average of seven per cent more electricity during the months of April to August, due to the hotter months when there is higher usage of air conditioning. With an increase of people staying at home, it also points to higher electricity and water consumption. On average, a consumer in Singapore emits more than eight tonnes of carbon emissions annually due to their lifestyle and consumption patterns. More than 400 rain trees are required to absorb this impact on the environment.

Through simulation tools, consumers can calculate their carbon emission from their daily activities such as mode of transport and air travel, consumption habits, buying habits and energy use. With the information, they can take steps to reduce their impact on the environment. The tool will also incorporate gamification for consumers to engage in healthy competition with other household members, neighbours and friends to achieve their green targets.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought air travel almost to a halt since the start of this year. As countries begin to ease air travel restrictions, many local residents may be looking forward to a much-needed getaway to their favourite vacation spots. According to a Guardian article in 2019, a long-haul flight emits more carbon emissions than the total emissions produced in a year by the citizens of some countries[1]. Besides air travel, there has been a huge surge in single-use plastics. Based on a TODAY Online report, an extra 1,334 tonnes of plastic waste was generated from takeaway and delivery meals in Singapore, during the Circuit Breaker period[2]. This is equivalent to the weight of 92 double-decker buses! Of all the plastic waste generated last year, ninety-six per cent was incinerated[3]. Around 3 per cent of our total greenhouse gas emissions were generated from the waste incineration process in Singapore[4]. So, how can individuals track and reduce their carbon emissions? SP Group (SP) has developed a carbon footprint calculator, which anyone can use to track the impact of daily activities and lifestyle. My Carbon Footprint enables consumers to keep tabs on the environmental impact of their energy consumption and lifestyle choices. Called My Carbon Footprint, this new feature in the SP Utilities app enables users to calculate their carbon emissions and the results are referenced against the national average. These projections are based on local data such as food consumption, driving conditions and air travel originating from Singapore. The calculator also draws its projection from common lifestyle and spending habits in Singapore, such as purchase of clothing and footwear, recreational activities or communication, to name a few. Most importantly, the calculator provides practical tips on reducing carbon footprint.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought air travel almost to a halt since the start of this year. As countries begin to ease air travel restrictions, many local residents may be looking forward to a much-needed getaway to their favourite vacation spots. According to a Guardian article in 2019, a long-haul flight emits more carbon emissions than the total emissions produced in a year by the citizens of some countries[1]. Besides air travel, there has been a huge surge in single-use plastics. Based on a TODAY Online report, an extra 1,334 tonnes of plastic waste was generated from takeaway and delivery meals in Singapore, during the Circuit Breaker period[2]. This is equivalent to the weight of 92 double-decker buses! Of all the plastic waste generated last year, ninety-six per cent was incinerated[3]. Around 3 per cent of our total greenhouse gas emissions were generated from the waste incineration process in Singapore[4]. So, how can individuals track and reduce their carbon emissions? SP Group (SP) has developed a carbon footprint calculator, which anyone can use to track the impact of daily activities and lifestyle. My Carbon Footprint enables consumers to keep tabs on the environmental impact of their energy consumption and lifestyle choices. Called My Carbon Footprint, this new feature in the SP Utilities app enables users to calculate their carbon emissions and the results are referenced against the national average. These projections are based on local data such as food consumption, driving conditions and air travel originating from Singapore. The calculator also draws its projection from common lifestyle and spending habits in Singapore, such as purchase of clothing and footwear, recreational activities or communication, to name a few. Most importantly, the calculator provides practical tips on reducing carbon footprint. My Carbon Footprint is the latest feature in the app, which also equips users to monitor and reduce their energy consumption. The SP Utilities app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Users can now track their emissions from not just electricity, but also from water and gas. They can also calculate the total amount of carbon emissions of their daily activities, according to their household profile, mode and duration of commute, frequency of holiday travel, as well as spending and dining habits. This is useful especially with a Singapore household consuming an average of seven per cent more electricity during the months of April to August, due to the hotter months when there is higher usage of air conditioning. With an increase of people staying at home, it also points to higher electricity and water consumption. On average, a consumer in Singapore emits more than eight tonnes of carbon emissions annually due to their lifestyle and consumption patterns. More than 400 rain trees are required to absorb this impact on the environment.

Media Release SP GROUP EMPOWERS ALL IN SINGAPORE TO TRACK AND REDUCE CARBON FOOTPRINT Singapore, 24 October 2019 – SP Group today announced plans to enable all Singapore households and businesses to track and reduce their carbon footprint. The Carbon Footprint Tracker will enable all 1.6 million consumers to track their carbon footprint, based on their power consumption and lifestyle. It will be available on the SP Utilities App (the App) by December this year. Mr Wong Kim Yin, Group Chief Executive Officer, SP Group, said: “With our Carbon Footprint Tracker, consumers can see how their actions impact the environment. Armed with this knowledge, they can take action to improve their habits towards a higher quality, sustainable lifestyle.” The Carbon Footprint Tracker is designed to create awareness, provide tools to take action, and effect changes that will reduce carbon emissions. Additional features will be progressively added in the first half of 2020. Consumers can use simulation tools to calculate their emissions based on daily activities such as mode of transport, air travel, consumption habits, buying habits and energy use. The tool will also incorporate gamification for consumers to engage in healthy competition with other household members, neighbours and friends to achieve their green targets. Anyone with an SP utilities account can download the App and use the Carbon Footprint Tracker and tools, regardless of their electricity retail provider or meter type. -Ends- 1 About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

News Release SP’S MY CARBON FOOTPRINT: GO GREEN WHILE BEATING THE HEAT AND STAYING HOME Singapore, 5 May 2020 – SP Group (SP) today launched its newly enhanced Carbon Footprint calculator, called My Carbon Footprint. It enables everyone in Singapore to (1) be more aware of the environmental impact of their daily actions, and (2) adopt behaviour that saves energy and cost. This is especially useful with electricity consumption rising during the hotter period of the year and people staying at home to limit the spread of COVID-19. Typically, the average household in Singapore consumes seven per cent 1 more electricity during the months of April to August. This is attributed to the hotter months when there is higher usage of air conditioning. With an increase of work-from-home arrangements and the month-long school holiday being brought forward to May, it also points to higher electricity and water consumption. To enable everyone in Singapore to go green and consume energy more efficiently, SP Group has introduced an enhanced My Carbon Footprint which is available on the SP Utilities App. My Carbon Footprint promotes behaviour and lifestyle changes to reduce carbon emissions through greater awareness of the environmental impact from one’s lifestyle. First launched in December 2019, the previous version allows users to view their carbon emissions resulting from their electricity consumption. In the enhanced version, users will be able to track their emissions from not just electricity, but also their water and gas consumption. They will also be able to calculate the total amount of carbon emissions of their daily activities, according to their household profile, mode and duration of commute, frequency of holiday travel, spending habits and food consumption. Designed and built in-house at SP, the calculator is also programmed on localised emission factors. Screengrab of the result page from My Carbon Footprint can be found in Annex A. 1 Based on average electricity consumption figures for Mar 2019-Feb 2020, available at www.spgroup.com.sg/what-we-do/billing 1 Ms May Liew, Head (Sustainability & Open Innovation), SP Group said: “Using SP Group’s My Carbon Footprint, everyone can see how their actions impact the environment. Users can take steps to be energyefficient while staying home and sustain green lifestyle choices to reduce their carbon footprint. Through this, everyone can play a role in contributing towards a greener, cleaner environment for Singapore.” The average consumption patterns of a consumer in Singapore result in more than eight tonnes of carbon emissions annually 2 . To absorb this impact on the environment, more than 400 rain trees are required. On a household level, the average annual electricity consumption of a four-room HDB household is equivalent to about 1.8 3 tonnes of carbon emissions – requiring approximately 90 rain trees per household. The My Carbon Footprint enables everyone to take simple actions to lower carbon emission every day. Anyone can download the App and use My Carbon Footprint and tools, regardless of their electricity retail provider or meter type. -Ends- 2 Data calculated using My Carbon Footprint based on consumption habits by an average Singaporean as published on singstat.gov.sg, data.gov.sg or from other credible sources. 3 Based on 2018’s grid emission factor of 0.4188 kgCO2/kWh. Average monthly electricity use for a 4-room flat based on EMA figures in 2018 is 353.9 kWh. 2 About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

You want to know that your lifestyle choices can make a positive impact – and you need to be able to do it affordably. SP Group’s newly launched My Green Credits™ may just be the answer. My Green Credits, a new feature on the SP Utilities app, lets you purchase “green credits” from local and overseas renewable energy projects to counter the carbon emissions from your electricity consumption. Here are three reasons why you should consider greening your electricity consumption with My Green Credits: 1) Reduce your carbon footprint, your way With My Green Credits, you get to decide how much of your energy consumption you want to green. Simply click on the “My Green Credits” feature on the SP Utilities app, select the renewable energy project, then purchase the amount of “green credits”[1] in the form of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). RECs are internationally-recognised instruments that validate the amount of green energy produced from renewable energy sources. When you purchase green credits in the form of RECs, the amount of energy you choose to green is matched by an equivalent amount of energy produced at a verified and credible renewable energy source.

With this new feature, when customers charge SP utilities bills to their UOB EVOL card, UOB will fund and contribute 2 per cent of the billed amount to purchase My Green Credits on the SP app on behalf of the customer. My Green Credits is an affordable and convenient way for customers to get on the sustainability movement by greening their energy consumption through the purchase the amount of “green credits” in the form of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)1. For example, when customers charge a $90 utilities bill to their UOB EVOL card, they will receive $1.80 worth of complimentary My Green Credits from UOB, equivalent to 2% of the billed amount. My Green Credits is purchased at a cost of S$0.12 per 25 kWh, which will translate to offsetting 375 kWh (kilowatt hour) or equivalent to an average national 4-room HDB flat’s electricity usage. This is equivalent to offsetting 100 per cent of the home’s electricity carbon footprint (see Annex for illustration). New UOB EVOL cardmembers paying their SP bills via the SP app will automatically enjoy the complimentary My Green Credits, while existing cardholders who are using the SP app to pay their bills before 10 November 2022 will simply need to do a one-time re-add of their EVOL card as a payment method to be eligible. My Green Credits will be automatically reflected within the customer’s SP app, with no additional effort required from them when bill payments are made. This benefit is available for both one-time and recurring SP bills payments. UOB EVOL card is the first in the market to partner with SP Group, Singapore’s national grid operator and leading sustainable energy solutions provider in the region, to offer customers complimentary My Green Credits when they use their EVOL Card to make utilities payment. This feature is applicable to all existing and new EVOL cardholders. The My Green Credits purchased will go towards supporting sustainable energy project developments in the region for the generation of green energy. 1Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are tradable green energy attributes that represent units of electricity generated from renewable energy generation facilities. These facilities comply with and are registered under internationally recognised standards, such as the I-REC standard, and are eligible to be issued RECs for every unit of electricity generated. A credit card that supports the green initiative UOB EVOL card is designed to appeal and serve the needs of younger customers, particularly their increasing focus on sustainability. The UOB EVOL Card is Southeast Asia’s first credit card to use bio-sourced materials to minimise ecological footprint. The EVOL Card is made of 84 percent polylactic acid (PLA) and created from renewable sources which are safe for incineration process. An EVOL Card that has expired and discarded is biodegradable in an industrial facility. Each EVOL card cuts down the use of plastic by 84 per cent and reduces carbon footprint by 10 grams per card. EVOL card also has a strong partnership with over 30 green partners to increase customers’ awareness of sustainability in their daily spending. This new card feature is another innovative initiative to further help them contribute to sustainable efforts seamlessly and conveniently. Ms Jacquelyn Tan, Head of Group Personal Financial Services, UOB, said “We understand that every customer has unique needs, preferences and goals, and this drives us to do right by them, to serve them in a way that meets their needs. Our wide suite of credit cards provides a comprehensive range of benefits and rewards to cater to different groups of customers on their differing needs. Through our partnership with SP, we are happy to further support the younger generation’s sustainability goals with our UOB EVOL card. This also shows UOB’s commitment towards sustainability, as we empower customers to work with us to tackle climate change and to forge a more sustainable future together.” Mr Luke Tang, Head of Strategy and Sustainability, SP Group, said “We are pleased to partner UOB to catalyse behaviour that promotes sustainability and the use of renewable energy certificates on the SP App to green household electricity consumption. As younger customers chart their sustainability journeys, we look forward to empowering them with green platforms and resources and collectively accelerate Singapore’s progress towards net zero.” The SP app was launched by SP as the first sustainability lifestyle app in Singapore. It aims to incorporate green solutions and initiatives to provide users with insights and solutions to manage their utilities and to reduce their carbon footprint. In addition to My Green Credits, users can also use the app to manage their utilities, reduce electricity consumption and contribute to Singapore’s sustainability targets to achieve a low-carbon future. On another sustainable front, as part of the UOB EVOL Card My Green Credits launch, SP supported National Parks Board’s (NParks) OneMillionTrees movement to plant a million more trees across Singapore by 2030 through NParks’ registered charity and IPC, Garden City Fund’s Plant-A-Tree programme. UOB and SP will plant 50 trees in April 2023, bringing us closer to realising our vision of becoming a City in Nature, a key pillar of the Singapore Green Plan 2030. Strategic partnership to create better solutions for customers This year marks the fourth year of partnership between UOB and SP, with joint efforts to empower customers on their green goals. Previous collaborations include the purchase of RECs through SP as part of a National Day promotion in 2021 for the EVOL card. UOB has also launched an API with SP in 2020, to allow UOB customers to instantly use their UNI$ to off-set their utility bills. Moving forward, UOB will work with SP to launch another new feature in the first quarter of 2023 that allows UOB cardholders to use their UNI$ to redeem for My Green Credits via the SP mobile app. They can choose which local or international renewable energy projects that they would like to support with the My Green Credits redeemed. Under the My Green Credits initiative, SP is supporting various green projects ranging from a solar farm in Vietnam, to a wind farm in Thailand, to a solar rooftop system in Singapore, to help reduce emissions and impact on the environment. In line with Singapore’s strong push to electrify its vehicle population, ecosystem, UOB and SP also have plans to provide promotional offers to customers who use their UOB cards to pay for electric vehicles (EV) charging at SP EV charging points. Over the past 2 years, UOB has been building up a suite of sustainable future solutions to make it simpler for customers to create impact with their everyday choices. The Bank has an established sustainable investing approach which set standards for its Singapore and regional footprint by curating a suite of sustainable investments across funds, bonds and structured products.

With My Green Credits, anyone with a utilities account can purchase Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to counter the impact of their electricity consumption in a convenient, affordable and secure way. There is a choice to “green” any amount from zero to 100 per cent of monthly electricity consumption, at the click of a button. As part of our commitment to create a low-carbon future, SP is covering 100 per cent of the electricity consumption at our Kallang HQ with RECs. Group CEO Stanley Huang said: “Many in Singapore are keen to make green practices part of their everyday life.

You want to know that your lifestyle choices can make a positive impact – and you need to be able to do it affordably. SP Group’s newly launched My Green Credits™ may just be the answer. My Green Credits, a new feature on the SP Utilities app, lets you purchase “green credits” from local and overseas renewable energy projects to counter the carbon emissions from your electricity consumption. Here are three reasons why you should consider greening your electricity consumption with My Green Credits: 1) Reduce your carbon footprint, your way With My Green Credits, you get to decide how much of your energy consumption you want to green. Simply click on the “My Green Credits” feature on the SP Utilities app, select the renewable energy project, then purchase the amount of “green credits”[1] in the form of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). RECs are internationally-recognised instruments that validate the amount of green energy produced from renewable energy sources. When you purchase green credits in the form of RECs, the amount of energy you choose to green is matched by an equivalent amount of energy produced at a verified and credible renewable energy source. You can also view the approximate reduction in your carbon emissions as a result of the purchase. This means you can measure your actual contribution towards lowering carbon emissions. Click here to find out how RECs work. 2) Help generate demand for renewable energy When you purchase RECs, you are creating demand for renewable energy. You are also sending a clear signal to the market that you care about where your energy comes from. We’ve seen a growing demand for RECs from companies seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and prioritise their sustainability goals. Studies have shown that more people are buying RECs and supporting the growth of renewable energy projects. With more green energy generated, our reliance on fossil fuels will decrease as a result. Now Singapore households can do the same, and play their part in creating a low carbon, smart energy Singapore by purchasing My Green Credits. 3) Support local and global green energy projects With My Green Credits, you can choose to purchase RECs from local or international renewable energy projects. In Singapore, the government has announced that we are on track to ramp up solar capacity by more than seven times in the next decade. The increased capacity will produce enough solar energy to power up 350,000 households annually[2] by 2030.  My Green Credits also lets you purchase RECs from green projects beyond Singapore’s borders. This spurs more renewable energy generation to surface globally and brings about social benefits such as job creation and infrastructure development to local communities. A low carbon future is critical – and SP is committed to making it happen and empowering everyone to do the same.

You want to know that your lifestyle choices can make a positive impact – and you need to be able to do it affordably. SP Group’s newly launched My Green Credits™ may just be the answer. My Green Credits, a new feature on the SP Utilities app, lets you purchase “green credits” from local and overseas renewable energy projects to counter the carbon emissions from your electricity consumption. Here are three reasons why you should consider greening your electricity consumption with My Green Credits: 1) Reduce your carbon footprint, your way With My Green Credits, you get to decide how much of your energy consumption you want to green. Simply click on the “My Green Credits” feature on the SP Utilities app, select the renewable energy project, then purchase the amount of “green credits”[1] in the form of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). RECs are internationally-recognised instruments that validate the amount of green energy produced from renewable energy sources. When you purchase green credits in the form of RECs, the amount of energy you choose to green is matched by an equivalent amount of energy produced at a verified and credible renewable energy source. You can also view the approximate reduction in your carbon emissions as a result of the purchase. This means you can measure your actual contribution towards lowering carbon emissions. Click here to find out how RECs work. 2) Help generate demand for renewable energy When you purchase RECs, you are creating demand for renewable energy. You are also sending a clear signal to the market that you care about where your energy comes from. We’ve seen a growing demand for RECs from companies seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and prioritise their sustainability goals. Studies have shown that more people are buying RECs and supporting the growth of renewable energy projects. With more green energy generated, our reliance on fossil fuels will decrease as a result. Now Singapore households can do the same, and play their part in creating a low carbon, smart energy Singapore by purchasing My Green Credits. 3) Support local and global green energy projects With My Green Credits, you can choose to purchase RECs from local or international renewable energy projects. In Singapore, the government has announced that we are on track to ramp up solar capacity by more than seven times in the next decade. The increased capacity will produce enough solar energy to power up 350,000 households annually[2] by 2030.  My Green Credits also lets you purchase RECs from green projects beyond Singapore’s borders. This spurs more renewable energy generation to surface globally and brings about social benefits such as job creation and infrastructure development to local communities. A low carbon future is critical – and SP is committed to making it happen and empowering everyone to do the same.

With this new feature, when customers charge SP utilities bills to their UOB EVOL card, UOB will fund and contribute 2 per cent of the billed amount to purchase My Green Credits on the SP app on behalf of the customer. My Green Credits is an affordable and convenient way for customers to get on the sustainability movement by greening their energy consumption through the purchase the amount of “green credits” in the form of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)1. For example, when customers charge a $90 utilities bill to their UOB EVOL card, they will receive $1.80 worth of complimentary My Green Credits from UOB, equivalent to 2% of the billed amount. My Green Credits is purchased at a cost of S$0.12 per 25 kWh, which will translate to offsetting 375 kWh (kilowatt hour) or equivalent to an average national 4-room HDB flat’s electricity usage. This is equivalent to offsetting 100 per cent of the home’s electricity carbon footprint (see Annex for illustration). New UOB EVOL cardmembers paying their SP bills via the SP app will automatically enjoy the complimentary My Green Credits, while existing cardholders who are using the SP app to pay their bills before 10 November 2022 will simply need to do a one-time re-add of their EVOL card as a payment method to be eligible. My Green Credits will be automatically reflected within the customer’s SP app, with no additional effort required from them when bill payments are made. This benefit is available for both one-time and recurring SP bills payments. UOB EVOL card is the first in the market to partner with SP Group, Singapore’s national grid operator and leading sustainable energy solutions provider in the region, to offer customers complimentary My Green Credits when they use their EVOL Card to make utilities payment. This feature is applicable to all existing and new EVOL cardholders. The My Green Credits purchased will go towards supporting sustainable energy project developments in the region for the generation of green energy. 1Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are tradable green energy attributes that represent units of electricity generated from renewable energy generation facilities. These facilities comply with and are registered under internationally recognised standards, such as the I-REC standard, and are eligible to be issued RECs for every unit of electricity generated. A credit card that supports the green initiative UOB EVOL card is designed to appeal and serve the needs of younger customers, particularly their increasing focus on sustainability. The UOB EVOL Card is Southeast Asia’s first credit card to use bio-sourced materials to minimise ecological footprint. The EVOL Card is made of 84 percent polylactic acid (PLA) and created from renewable sources which are safe for incineration process. An EVOL Card that has expired and discarded is biodegradable in an industrial facility. Each EVOL card cuts down the use of plastic by 84 per cent and reduces carbon footprint by 10 grams per card. EVOL card also has a strong partnership with over 30 green partners to increase customers’ awareness of sustainability in their daily spending. This new card feature is another innovative initiative to further help them contribute to sustainable efforts seamlessly and conveniently. Ms Jacquelyn Tan, Head of Group Personal Financial Services, UOB, said “We understand that every customer has unique needs, preferences and goals, and this drives us to do right by them, to serve them in a way that meets their needs. Our wide suite of credit cards provides a comprehensive range of benefits and rewards to cater to different groups of customers on their differing needs. Through our partnership with SP, we are happy to further support the younger generation’s sustainability goals with our UOB EVOL card. This also shows UOB’s commitment towards sustainability, as we empower customers to work with us to tackle climate change and to forge a more sustainable future together.” Mr Luke Tang, Head of Strategy and Sustainability, SP Group, said “We are pleased to partner UOB to catalyse behaviour that promotes sustainability and the use of renewable energy certificates on the SP App to green household electricity consumption. As younger customers chart their sustainability journeys, we look forward to empowering them with green platforms and resources and collectively accelerate Singapore’s progress towards net zero.” The SP app was launched by SP as the first sustainability lifestyle app in Singapore. It aims to incorporate green solutions and initiatives to provide users with insights and solutions to manage their utilities and to reduce their carbon footprint. In addition to My Green Credits, users can also use the app to manage their utilities, reduce electricity consumption and contribute to Singapore’s sustainability targets to achieve a low-carbon future. On another sustainable front, as part of the UOB EVOL Card My Green Credits launch, SP supported National Parks Board’s (NParks) OneMillionTrees movement to plant a million more trees across Singapore by 2030 through NParks’ registered charity and IPC, Garden City Fund’s Plant-A-Tree programme. UOB and SP will plant 50 trees in April 2023, bringing us closer to realising our vision of becoming a City in Nature, a key pillar of the Singapore Green Plan 2030. Strategic partnership to create better solutions for customers This year marks the fourth year of partnership between UOB and SP, with joint efforts to empower customers on their green goals. Previous collaborations include the purchase of RECs through SP as part of a National Day promotion in 2021 for the EVOL card. UOB has also launched an API with SP in 2020, to allow UOB customers to instantly use their UNI$ to off-set their utility bills. Moving forward, UOB will work with SP to launch another new feature in the first quarter of 2023 that allows UOB cardholders to use their UNI$ to redeem for My Green Credits via the SP mobile app. They can choose which local or international renewable energy projects that they would like to support with the My Green Credits redeemed. Under the My Green Credits initiative, SP is supporting various green projects ranging from a solar farm in Vietnam, to a wind farm in Thailand, to a solar rooftop system in Singapore, to help reduce emissions and impact on the environment. In line with Singapore’s strong push to electrify its vehicle population, ecosystem, UOB and SP also have plans to provide promotional offers to customers who use their UOB cards to pay for electric vehicles (EV) charging at SP EV charging points. Over the past 2 years, UOB has been building up a suite of sustainable future solutions to make it simpler for customers to create impact with their everyday choices. The Bank has an established sustainable investing approach which set standards for its Singapore and regional footprint by curating a suite of sustainable investments across funds, bonds and structured products. This includes its first UOB Personal Financial Services (PFS) secured loans green product framework, serving as the foundation of its Go Green home and car loans.

Additionally, the MyTengah app will allow residents to understand household utilities usage, intelligently control air-conditioning usage and buy energy-efficient appliances. Hugh Lim For The Straits Times Climate change and urbanisation are two of the most important challenges facing the world today – and they are inextricably linked. In South-east Asia, one of the most rapidly developing regions in the world, millions are moving out of rural settings into more urbanised areas every year. Sadly, this urbanisation is usually accompanied by an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. However, this need not be the case. Recent studies reveal that residents of denser city centres emit half the greenhouse gas emissions of their suburban neighbours. Moreover, cities have the unique ability to respond to a global issue such as climate change at a more local level, engaging residents directly. Cities are crucibles of innovation and usually offer more immediate and effective communication between the public and decision-makers. Therefore, cities that are well planned and managed may hold the key to balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability. REQUIREMENTS OF SUCCESS On a city scale, urban infrastructure and policies are required to drive emissions reductions through lifestyle choices. Take the example of Tengah, Singapore’s most ambitious smart and sustainable new town to date. The Housing Board, in collaboration with energy utilities provider SP Group, will implement Singapore’s first large-scale residential centralised cooling system there. Such collaborations and initiatives will aid Singapore in achieving its pledge to cap its emissions by 2030 and halve them by 2050. Its success will hinge on three things: power, process and people. Power: Geophysical constraints make it challenging for Singapore to adopt large-scale renewable energy solutions. This makes improving the performance of energy-consuming systems critical. The National Climate Change Secretariat predicts an increase in average surface temperatures of 2.9 deg C to 4.6 deg C under the RCP8.5 greenhouse gas trajectory for the period of 2070 to 2099, relative to 1980 to 2009. (RCP8.5 is a baseline scenario referring to the concentration of carbon that delivers global warming at an average of 8.5 watts per sq m across the planet.) What an increase in average surface temperatures means for Singapore is that there will be a commensurate increase in demand for air-conditioners. The amount of energy used to cool Singapore – which has the highest rate in the South-east Asian region of air-conditioners installed per capita – is projected to grow by 73 per cent between 2010 and 2030. The good news is that Singapore is piloting more energy-efficient technologies, including district cooling systems like the one implemented in the Marina Bay district in 2006, enabling energy savings of up to 40 per cent, according to SP Group. Tengah, which is scaled at around 220 to 300 HDB blocks, will be similarly equipped with a centralised cooling system adapted for residential use. Through centralised cooling, lifetime household energy consumption is expected to be reduced by 30 per cent. The upcoming Punggol Digital District, developed by national industrial infrastructure developer JTC Corporation, will be equipped with a smart energy grid that can lower energy usage, distribute green energy such as solar power seamlessly across the district and detect abnormal energy consumption. In Punggol Digital District, the buildings will be 30 per cent more energy-efficient than conventional commercial buildings, thanks to the sustainable design and smart optimisation enabled by the district’s open digital platform. Process: Sustainable districts can serve as test beds for urban systems innovation, enabling government agencies and industry partners to pilot a suite of complementary policies and actions to tackle greenhouse gas emissions. Take Punggol’s open digital platform, which will collect districtwide data through its network of sensors, including building data (to do with lifts, lighting and occupancy, for example) and environmental data (such as temperature and rainfall). These data sets will allow JTC to optimise resources in real time and fix issues before they become serious problems. The open digital platform’s digital twin technology will also provide an experimental environment for anyone in the district. It will allow industries and researchers to tap the open data to MAKING A DIFFERENCE Tengah and Punggol Digital District are in the vanguard of city-level eco-smartness, but there are ways for everyone to contribute, no matter where in Singapore you live. SP Group is helping its customers to do just that through the My Carbon Footprint and My Green Credits features on the SP Utilities app. These allow customers to track carbon emissions resulting from electricity, water and gas consumption, and match this with the purchase of an equivalent amount of green energy. With the right urban infrastructure and power of knowledge, it will be possible to achieve climate action goals at both the individual and national levels. stopinion@sph.com.sg • Hugh Lim is the executive director of the Centre for Liveable Cities (www.clc.gov.sg), under the Ministry of National Development.

Hugh Lim For The Straits Times Climate change and urbanisation are two of the most important challenges facing the world today – and they are inextricably linked. In South-east Asia, one of the most rapidly developing regions in the world, millions are moving out of rural settings into more urbanised areas every year. Sadly, this urbanisation is usually accompanied by an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. However, this need not be the case. Recent studies reveal that residents of denser city centres emit half the greenhouse gas emissions of their suburban neighbours. Moreover, cities have the unique ability to respond to a global issue such as climate change at a more local level, engaging residents directly. Cities are crucibles of innovation and usually offer more immediate and effective communication between the public and decision-makers. Therefore, cities that are well planned and managed may hold the key to balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability. REQUIREMENTS OF SUCCESS On a city scale, urban infrastructure and policies are required to drive emissions reductions through lifestyle choices. Take the example of Tengah, Singapore’s most ambitious smart and sustainable new town to date. The Housing Board, in collaboration with energy utilities provider SP Group, will implement Singapore’s first large-scale residential centralised cooling system there. Such collaborations and initiatives will aid Singapore in achieving its pledge to cap its emissions by 2030 and halve them by 2050. Its success will hinge on three things: power, process and people. Power: Geophysical constraints make it challenging for Singapore to adopt large-scale renewable energy solutions. This makes improving the performance of energy-consuming systems critical. The National Climate Change Secretariat predicts an increase in average surface temperatures of 2.9 deg C to 4.6 deg C under the RCP8.5 greenhouse gas trajectory for the period of 2070 to 2099, relative to 1980 to 2009. (RCP8.5 is a baseline scenario referring to the concentration of carbon that delivers global warming at an average of 8.5 watts per sq m across the planet.) What an increase in average surface temperatures means for Singapore is that there will be a commensurate increase in demand for air-conditioners. The amount of energy used to cool Singapore – which has the highest rate in the South-east Asian region of air-conditioners installed per capita – is projected to grow by 73 per cent between 2010 and 2030. The good news is that Singapore is piloting more energy-efficient technologies, including district cooling systems like the one implemented in the Marina Bay district in 2006, enabling energy savings of up to 40 per cent, according to SP Group. Tengah, which is scaled at around 220 to 300 HDB blocks, will be similarly equipped with a centralised cooling system adapted for residential use. Through centralised cooling, lifetime household energy consumption is expected to be reduced by 30 per cent. The upcoming Punggol Digital District, developed by national industrial infrastructure developer JTC Corporation, will be equipped with a smart energy grid that can lower energy usage, distribute green energy such as solar power seamlessly across the district and detect abnormal energy consumption. In Punggol Digital District, the buildings will be 30 per cent more energy-efficient than conventional commercial buildings, thanks to the sustainable design and smart optimisation enabled by the district’s open digital platform. Process: Sustainable districts can serve as test beds for urban systems innovation, enabling government agencies and industry partners to pilot a suite of complementary policies and actions to tackle greenhouse gas emissions. Take Punggol’s open digital platform, which will collect districtwide data through its network of sensors, including building data (to do with lifts, lighting and occupancy, for example) and environmental data (such as temperature and rainfall). These data sets will allow JTC to optimise resources in real time and fix issues before they become serious problems.

Hugh Lim For The Straits Times Climate change and urbanisation are two of the most important challenges facing the world today – and they are inextricably linked. In South-east Asia, one of the most rapidly developing regions in the world, millions are moving out of rural settings into more urbanised areas every year. Sadly, this urbanisation is usually accompanied by an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. However, this need not be the case. Recent studies reveal that residents of denser city centres emit half the greenhouse gas emissions of their suburban neighbours. Moreover, cities have the unique ability to respond to a global issue such as climate change at a more local level, engaging residents directly. Cities are crucibles of innovation and usually offer more immediate and effective communication between the public and decision-makers. Therefore, cities that are well planned and managed may hold the key to balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability. REQUIREMENTS OF SUCCESS On a city scale, urban infrastructure and policies are required to drive emissions reductions through lifestyle choices. Take the example of Tengah, Singapore’s most ambitious smart and sustainable new town to date. The Housing Board, in collaboration with energy utilities provider SP Group, will implement Singapore’s first large-scale residential centralised cooling system there. Such collaborations and initiatives will aid Singapore in achieving its pledge to cap its emissions by 2030 and halve them by 2050. Its success will hinge on three things: power, process and people. Power: Geophysical constraints make it challenging for Singapore to adopt large-scale renewable energy solutions. This makes improving the performance of energy-consuming systems critical. The National Climate Change Secretariat predicts an increase in average surface temperatures of 2.9 deg C to 4.6 deg C under the RCP8.5 greenhouse gas trajectory for the period of 2070 to 2099, relative to 1980 to 2009. (RCP8.5 is a baseline scenario referring to the concentration of carbon that delivers global warming at an average of 8.5 watts per sq m across the planet.) What an increase in average surface temperatures means for Singapore is that there will be a commensurate increase in demand for air-conditioners. The amount of energy used to cool Singapore – which has the highest rate in the South-east Asian region of air-conditioners installed per capita – is projected to grow by 73 per cent between 2010 and 2030. The good news is that Singapore is piloting more energy-efficient technologies, including district cooling systems like the one implemented in the Marina Bay district in 2006, enabling energy savings of up to 40 per cent, according to SP Group. Tengah, which is scaled at around 220 to 300 HDB blocks, will be similarly equipped with a centralised cooling system adapted for residential use. Through centralised cooling, lifetime household energy consumption is expected to be reduced by 30 per cent. The upcoming Punggol Digital District, developed by national industrial infrastructure developer JTC Corporation, will be equipped with a smart energy grid that can lower energy usage, distribute green energy such as solar power seamlessly across the district and detect abnormal energy consumption. In Punggol Digital District, the buildings will be 30 per cent more energy-efficient than conventional commercial buildings, thanks to the sustainable design and smart optimisation enabled by the district’s open digital platform. Process: Sustainable districts can serve as test beds for urban systems innovation, enabling government agencies and industry partners to pilot a suite of complementary policies and actions to tackle greenhouse gas emissions. Take Punggol’s open digital platform, which will collect districtwide data through its network of sensors, including building data (to do with lifts, lighting and occupancy, for example) and environmental data (such as temperature and rainfall). These data sets will allow JTC to optimise resources in real time and fix issues before they become serious problems. The open digital platform’s digital twin technology will also provide an experimental environment for anyone in the district. It will allow industries and researchers to tap the open data to MAKING A DIFFERENCE Tengah and Punggol Digital District are in the vanguard of city-level eco-smartness, but there are ways for everyone to contribute, no matter where in Singapore you live.

In the eco-vanguard are Tengah’s innovative cooling system and Punggol’s open digital platform Singapore is piloting more energy-efficient technologies, including district cooling systems like the one implemented in the Marina Bay district (above) in 2006, enabling energy savings of up to 40 per cent, according to energy utilities provider SP Group. Tengah new town will be similarly equipped with a centralised cooling system adapted for residential use.

In Tengah, numerous initiatives – such as solar photovoltaic installations (which convert sunlight directly into electricity) and charging systems for electric vehicles, along with battery energy storage systems – are planned in an integrated manner. SP Group’s OneTengah digital platform will allow town council and facility operators to better measure, monitor and manage what systems are being deployed. Sustainable districts in a city hold huge promise for turning eco-conscious living into a collaborative endeavour. When such innovations are successfully implemented, the city is able to reap many benefits from systems-level integration and enjoy economies of scale, including energy savings. People: However, the success of these innovations ultimately rests on the people on the ground. Governments and developers can build the necessary infrastructure, but to actually reduce emissions, residents must do their part through individual lifestyle choices. A recent media survey found that nine in 10 Singaporean millennials are willing to make personal sacrifices to support climate change mitigation efforts. That’s why Tengah is designed to make it as easy and socially desirable as possible for residents to reduce their carbon footprint. One way Tengah will do this is through Eco Boards – digital displays that provide residents with block-level information on energy and water use. These will encourage utilities savings through “friendly competition” among blocks and allow town councils to achieve more efficient estate management. Additionally, the MyTengah app will allow residents to understand household utilities usage, intelligently control air-conditioning usage and buy energy-efficient appliances. Hugh Lim For The Straits Times Climate change and urbanisation are two of the most important challenges facing the world today – and they are inextricably linked. In South-east Asia, one of the most rapidly developing regions in the world, millions are moving out of rural settings into more urbanised areas every year. Sadly, this urbanisation is usually accompanied by an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. However, this need not be the case. Recent studies reveal that residents of denser city centres emit half the greenhouse gas emissions of their suburban neighbours. Moreover, cities have the unique ability to respond to a global issue such as climate change at a more local level, engaging residents directly. Cities are crucibles of innovation and usually offer more immediate and effective communication between the public and decision-makers. Therefore, cities that are well planned and managed may hold the key to balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability. REQUIREMENTS OF SUCCESS On a city scale, urban infrastructure and policies are required to drive emissions reductions through lifestyle choices. Take the example of Tengah, Singapore’s most ambitious smart and sustainable new town to date. The Housing Board, in collaboration with energy utilities provider SP Group, will implement Singapore’s first large-scale residential centralised cooling system there. Such collaborations and initiatives will aid Singapore in achieving its pledge to cap its emissions by 2030 and halve them by 2050. Its success will hinge on three things: power, process and people. Power: Geophysical constraints make it challenging for Singapore to adopt large-scale renewable energy solutions. This makes improving the performance of energy-consuming systems critical. The National Climate Change Secretariat predicts an increase in average surface temperatures of 2.9 deg C to 4.6 deg C under the RCP8.5 greenhouse gas trajectory for the period of 2070 to 2099, relative to 1980 to 2009. (RCP8.5 is a baseline scenario referring to the concentration of carbon that delivers global warming at an average of 8.5 watts per sq m across the planet.) What an increase in average surface temperatures means for Singapore is that there will be a commensurate increase in demand for air-conditioners. The amount of energy used to cool Singapore – which has the highest rate in the South-east Asian region of air-conditioners installed per capita – is projected to grow by 73 per cent between 2010 and 2030. The good news is that Singapore is piloting more energy-efficient technologies, including district cooling systems like the one implemented in the Marina Bay district in 2006, enabling energy savings of up to 40 per cent, according to SP Group. Tengah, which is scaled at around 220 to 300 HDB blocks, will be similarly equipped with a centralised cooling system adapted for residential use. Through centralised cooling, lifetime household energy consumption is expected to be reduced by 30 per cent. The upcoming Punggol Digital District, developed by national industrial infrastructure developer JTC Corporation, will be equipped with a smart energy grid that can lower energy usage, distribute green energy such as solar power seamlessly across the district and detect abnormal energy consumption. In Punggol Digital District, the buildings will be 30 per cent more energy-efficient than conventional commercial buildings, thanks to the sustainable design and smart optimisation enabled by the district’s open digital platform. Process: Sustainable districts can serve as test beds for urban systems innovation, enabling government agencies and industry partners to pilot a suite of complementary policies and actions to tackle greenhouse gas emissions. Take Punggol’s open digital platform, which will collect districtwide data through its network of sensors, including building data (to do with lifts, lighting and occupancy, for example) and environmental data (such as temperature and rainfall). These data sets will allow JTC to optimise resources in real time and fix issues before they become serious problems. The open digital platform’s digital twin technology will also provide an experimental environment for anyone in the district. It will allow industries and researchers to tap the open data to MAKING A DIFFERENCE Tengah and Punggol Digital District are in the vanguard of city-level eco-smartness, but there are ways for everyone to contribute, no matter where in Singapore you live.
