This recognition is underpinned by SP’s long-standing partnership with the Union of Power and Gas Employees (UPAGE) in advancing continuous skills upgrading and career pathways for SP’s 3,700 employees, sustainable wage growth and age-friendly work environments. Several notable initiatives have been introduced over the years. In 2018, SP launched Project FUSION, which stands for Future Skills in Everyone, with a structured career and development road map to enhance employability of staff. This has resulted in workers undergoing continuous training and upskilling in readiness for evolving industry needs, and benefitting from job transformation. Since then, SP has invested $52 million in its employees’ training and development, with 1.1 million training hours clocked. Technical officers Goh Yap Meng and Muhammad Shamil bin Abu Bakar are among SP’s employees who have undergone further education and training to be equipped for career progression and job transformation. The most recent joint effort between SP and UPAGE is Project Silver+ to pre-emptively address potential challenges faced by mature workers at the workplace. Key solutions implemented include modifications to facilities at work areas, the provision of age-friendly work tools and aids, and programmes that boost wellness and retirement adequacy. In tandem with skills upgrading and systematic job progression, SP regularly reviews and revises its employees’ wages to ensure these remain competitive and in line with Progressive Wage Model guidelines. Working closely with UPAGE, SP started a scheme to uplift the earnings of lower income earners by doubling their annual wage increment as part of efforts to provide meaningful wage growth for lower wage employees.   Receiving SP Group’s award at a ceremony on 10 May 2024, Group Chief Executive Officer Stanley Huang said, “We are honoured to receive this highest award for employers, with strong endorsement from UPAGE. It serves as a testament to our long-standing union-management partnership towards building a workforce well-equipped for the diverse and evolving needs of the industry. Our employees are instrumental in upholding Singapore’s world-class energy network reliability, and advancing SP’s sustainable energy solutions for customers.”     General Secretary of UPAGE Abdul Samad Abdul Wahab echoed the Union’s shared commitment to enhancing employability and welfare of workers. He said, “Our journey with SP Group has resulted in joint initiatives to meet the needs and aspirations of workers across the ranks. These holistic efforts have enabled workers to level up their competencies and perform roles that are valuable for the energy sector today and in the future. Our workers are also assured of competitive wages and having their well-being cared for. - Ends - Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search SP Group receives NTUC’s top award for employers, for advancing future-ready skills and career pathwayshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-receives-NTUC-s-top-award-for-employers--for-advancing-future-ready-skills-and-career-pathways Media Release SP Group receives NTUC’s top award for employers, for advancing future-ready skills and career pathways Singapore, 3 May 2024 – At this year’s May Day Awards, SP Group (SP) is receiving the highest award for employers – the Plaque of Commendation (Star) – conferred by the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC).

SINGAPORE, 15 July 2022 – The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and SP Group (SP) are collaborating to enhance the capabilities of the power engineering workforce in Singapore. Through a three-year endeavour, SIT and SP will focus on upskilling and reskilling of SP’s employees. Both organisations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) today at Energy Innovation 2022, organised by the Energy Market Authority (EMA). 2. As Singapore advances towards a sustainable energy future and its Smart Nation ambitions, it is crucial that local talents gain knowledge and skills to adapt and thrive in the evolving energy sector. To grow engineering talent pipeline and skillset for the energy sector, the SIT-SP partnership seeks to provide continuous skills upgrading pathways for SP employees through a full-time undergraduate degree in Electrical Power Engineering. Students will benefit from the Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP) and Capstone Projects, which put theory into practice in real work situations. SIT and SP will provide students with workplace learning opportunities and innovation projects that address emerging needs of the energy industry. 3. Said Professor Chua Kee Chaing, SIT President: “This MOU underscores SIT’s shared commitment with SP to upskill and reskill different generations of power engineers, to cater to new industry demands. As the demands of tomorrow continue to evolve, it calls for closer academia-industry partnerships with industry leaders like SP, and a work-study approach to better train work-ready professionals. As SIT continues to expand its footprint across industries to address these ever-changing needs, we welcome like-minded partners to join our efforts to upskill, reskill, and build the workforce of tomorrow.” 4. Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, Stanley Huang, said, “We are pleased to launch the workstudy programme with SIT, to help our workers upskill and adapt to the changing energy landscape. It enables them to pursue an engineering degree course full-time, while continuing in work roles during the course of their study and applying the knowledge they gain. This is part of SP Group’s commitment to continuously develop our workforce for the needs of our industry and support our workers in contributing effectively.” 5. Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said, “As Singapore advances our energy transition towards a more sustainable future, we will need to ensure that workers are equipped with relevant skillsets to take on new opportunities. EMA is supportive of such academia-industry partnerships in building up Singapore’s manpower capabilities for the energy sector. We are heartened to note SP Group’s strong emphasis and commitment on upskilling its employees. We hope this collaboration between SIT and SP Group will be the first of many such partnerships to come, to build a future-ready workforce that will propel Singapore’s energy sector forward.” 6. As a start, a pioneer cohort of SP employees will undertake a full-time three-year Electrical Power Engineering (EPE) undergraduate degree programme at SIT, starting in September 2022. The degree programme, jointly offered by SIT and Newcastle University, is specially customised to provide students with a holistic approach to learning while experiencing hands-on industry-focused activities. More information on the EPE degree programme is in Annex A. 7. As part of this pioneer cohort in September 2022, five SP employees will be onboarded as full-time students, where they will get to apply existing practices from the workplace, and hone their skills through actual work exposure made possible by SIT’s unique applied learning pedagogy. SP will be sponsoring their studies as they pursue their career aspirations and grow their engineering capabilities. 8. This MOU is an extension of the ongoing partnership between SIT and SP over the past few years – which currently includes SP’s investment in Singapore’s first experimental, multi-energy microgrid at SIT’s future campus in the Punggol Digital District, signaling a long-term commitment of both organisations’ collective efforts to advance the energy sector in Singapore. Annex A: SIT’s EPE Undergraduate Degree Programme Tailored for SP Employees The Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Electrical Power Engineering (EPE) is a three-year direct honours degree programme jointly offered by SIT and Newcastle University (NU). As the first locally-offered, dedicated Electrical Power Engineering undergraduate programme, the curriculum is specially customised to meet industry demand in Singapore.

The Singapore energy utilities company has developed this international benchmarking framework that will enable utilities to identify best-practices by leading industry players. This will help them to develop the infrastructure needed to support Smart Cities and serve customers better. While the provision of reliable, secure and efficient electricity supply remains crucial, there are other key considerations for developing a future-ready grid. The smart grid index provides a framework of seven key dimensions of an electricity grid. These are: supply reliability; monitoring and control; data analytics; integration of DER Distributed Energy Resources (DER); green energy; security; and customer empowerment and satisfaction. The framework was designed to be simple and quantifiable for utilities to easily determine what aspects they are strong in, and where they can improve. Using publicly available data, SP applied the framework on 45 utilities across 30 countries. The published results will allow utilities to identify leading players across the seven dimensions. They can reach out to their counterparts to learn industry best practices to drive smart grid development. At SP Group, we have drawn from our own experience in creating a framework to measure our grid performance and benchmark it internationally with other countries. It has been well received and accepted when previewed earlier this year to industry experts and fellow utilities at the International Utility Working Group meeting in Singapore in April, and at the Conference of the Electric Power Supply Industry in Kuala Lumpur in September. The index’s methodology and benchmarking studies were also validated by the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N). Mr Sim Kwong Mian, Chairman of the SP Engineering Council, said, “We created this index as we wanted a simple, quantifiable framework to advance our own grid development. It has been useful for us and we would like to contribute it to the wider utilities community. It will enable us to learn best practices from each other, towards developing a future-ready grid and to serve our customers better. “Smart grids are a critical infrastructure that supports economic growth while improving the quality of life in a city. SP Group’s smart grid index is useful for utilities to define, measure and advance in the fundamental aspects of grid development. It will provide important data points, aids healthy industry discourse and enables utilities to deliver sustainable solutions for the future,” Professor Kam Chan Hin, Deputy Provost (Education), and former Chair, School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University.

[20181029] SP Group launches world's first international index for utilities to advance in grid smartnesshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/5d03c0fd-ab11-4de8-bbe7-9f57c1952651/%5B20181029%5D+Media+release+-+SP+Group+launches+world's+first+international+index+for+utilities+to+advance+in+grid+smartness.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
News Release SP GROUP LAUNCHES WORLD’S FIRST INTERNATIONAL INDEX FOR UTILITIES TO ADVANCE IN GRID SMARTNESS Singapore, 29 October 2018 – At the ASEAN Energy Business Forum today, SP Group (SP) launched the world’s first smart grid index to help utilities measure and advance in key dimensions of grid development. The Singapore energy utilities company has developed this international benchmarking framework that will enable utilities to identify best-practices by leading industry players. This will help them to develop the infrastructure needed to support Smart Cities and serve customers better. While the provision of reliable, secure and efficient electricity supply remains crucial, there are other key considerations for developing a future-ready grid. The smart grid index provides a framework of seven key dimensions of an electricity grid. These are: supply reliability; monitoring and control; data analytics; integration of DER Distributed Energy Resources (DER); green energy; security; and customer empowerment and satisfaction. The framework was designed to be simple and quantifiable for utilities to easily determine what aspects they are strong in, and where they can improve. Using publicly available data, SP applied the framework on 45 utilities across 30 countries. The published results will allow utilities to identify leading players across the seven dimensions. They can reach out to their counterparts to learn industry best practices to drive smart grid development. At SP Group, we have drawn from our own experience in creating a framework to measure our grid performance and benchmark it internationally with other countries. It has been well received and accepted when previewed earlier this year to industry experts and fellow utilities at the International Utility Working Group meeting in Singapore in April, and at the Conference of the Electric Power Supply Industry in Kuala Lumpur in September. The index’s methodology and benchmarking studies were also validated by the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N). Mr Sim Kwong Mian, Chairman of the SP Engineering Council, said, “We created this index as we wanted a simple, quantifiable framework to advance our own grid development. It has been useful for us and we would like to contribute it to the wider utilities community. It will enable us to learn best practices from each other, towards developing a future-ready grid and to serve our customers better. “Smart grids are a critical infrastructure that supports economic growth while improving the quality of life in a city. SP Group’s smart grid index is useful for utilities to define, measure and advance in the fundamental aspects of grid development. It will provide important data points, aids healthy industry discourse and enables utilities to deliver sustainable solutions for the future,” Professor Kam Chan Hin, Deputy Provost (Education), and former Chair, School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University.

We have also installed solar panels at our headquarters and district offices and developed storage systems to harness and deploy energy efficiently. Our experience will enable us to work with partners in the community to achieve similar sustainable outcomes. For a start, we have helped Bukit Panjang Community Club reduce electricity usage with solar panels and a real-time monitoring system at its premises. In district cooling, where customers have reported savings of up to 40 per cent in energy consumption, we have progressed beyond indoor air-conditioning in commercial buildings at the central business district. We have taken this expertise to Chongqing, China, where we are managing the district cooling system for the new Raffles City Chongqing that is run by CapitaLand. At this year’s National Day Parade, we introduced outdoor cooling facilities, tapping on the same technologies and infrastructure powered by our Singapore District Cooling. We look forward to exploring wider-scale adoption of district cooling in the community. Innovation to deliver greater value To deliver value to our customers for the long-run, it is imperative to invest in projects and partnerships that will nurture the spirit of innovation and test promising ideas. In the past year, we embarked on a collaboration with General Electric to develop Industrial Internet of Things capabilities and intelligent applications to enhance our power network reliability and efficiency. Together with seven other leading international utilities, we are driving the first global utilities accelerator programme, Free Electrons, for start-ups to develop game-changing products. We are also part of a consortium of global energy players to develop blockchain solutions aimed at helping customers achieve energy efficient results. Through the SP Centre of Excellence, we continue to invest in next-generation technologies aimed at helping customers attain a high quality, sustainable way of life. Steady growth and commitment Our journey of transformation is only possible with the right mindset, conviction and commitment to adapt and grow. I thank the Management and staff for their leadership and tireless resolve to transform to serve customers better. I am also grateful to our shareholder, business partners, staff union and regulator, for your partnership that is rooted on our mission to improve quality of life for our customers. To the members of the Board, thank you for your guidance and counsel. In line with our digital focus, I hope you enjoy this interactive review of our performance. Thank you for your support.

Media Release - SP Group Joins Global Blockchain Initiativehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/a372238f-3b37-4ba0-b19f-08101474797f/%5B20170516%5D+Media+Release+-+SP+Group+Joins+Global+Blockchain+Initiative.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
Media Release SP GROUP JOINS GLOBAL BLOCKCHAIN INITIATIVE Singapore, 16 May 2017 – SP Group (SP) today announced that it will collaborate with a consortium of global energy players to develop blockchain solutions that will help customers save cost and to drive greater integration of renewable energy sources on the electricity grid. It will partner the Energy Web Foundation (EWF) and utilities – Centrica PLC, Engie, Sempra Energy, Stedin, Technical Works Ludwigshafen AG (TWL) and Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco); oil & gas companies – Royal Dutch Shell and Statoil ASA; and transmission system operator, Elia. Together, they will identify, develop, pilot and integrate promising blockchain applications. SP’s collaboration with EWF allows it to leverage a global network of industry expertise to gain experience and in-depth understanding of blockchain technology. Blockchain technology can transform the energy sector by lowering transaction costs thus reducing the cost of utility bills. For consumers, it allows energy devices (i.e. HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems, electric vehicles, batteries and solar photovoltaic (PV) installations) to transact with each other, while supporting utilities and grid operators to integrate more renewable sources at a much lower cost. The unique attributes of Blockchain technology could also provide much higher levels of cybersecurity for the industry. “At SP Group, we constantly seek new technologies and solutions to create a future-ready and sustainable network. We are working towards transformational solutions to serve customers better, as we transition towards a cleaner, more resilient and cost-effective energy future. We look forward to working with respected industry partners to accelerate the deployment of blockchain to help our consumers save energy and cost, and enhance their quality of life.” – May Liew, Director of Strategic Development, SP Group EWF is a partnership between Rocky Mountain Institute, an independent non-profit organization focused on driving the efficient and restorative use of resources to create a clean, prosperous, and secure low-carbon future, and Grid Singularity, a blockchain technology developer specializing in energy sector applications.
