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). 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.

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.

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.

Huawei and SP Mobility unveil ultra-fast EV charging, integrating battery energy storage for high-power charging at locations with power limitationshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Huawei-and-SP-Mobility-unveil-ultra-fast-EV-charging
Media Release Huawei and SP Mobility unveil ultra-fast EV charging, integrating battery energy storage for high-power charging at locations with power limitations SINGAPORE, 6 February 2026 – Huawei and SP Mobility have launched Singapore’s first ultra‑fast electric vehicle (EV) charging enabled with battery energy storage system (BESS), at Temasek Polytechnic. This marks a key step in strengthening Singapore’s public charging infrastructure. The launch event was officiated by Mr Baey Yam Keng, Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Transport, and Mayor for North East District. The newly commissioned site integrates Huawei’s latest liquid‑cooled ultra‑fast direct current technology with a battery energy storage system. The BESS stores electricity when the charger is not in use, and discharges it back during EV charging, reducing demand on the grid, enabling faster and more reliable charging. The charger has a maximum power rating of 480kW, placing it among the highest rated capacity public chargers available in Singapore today. At this site, it is configured to operate at 400kW in line with on-site power availability, with actual charging speed determined by each vehicle’s compatibility. During high-power charging, the BESS provides supplemental buffering to support charging performance. It can add up to 200km of range in around five minutes for compatible vehicles, significantly reducing charging time to support the charging needs of commercial fleets, including electric heavy goods vehicles, and other high-mileage drivers. This complements SP Mobility’s partnership with Goldbell Group to support the electrification of commercial and heavy vehicles in Singapore. The integration enhances site feasibility and provides a future-fit model for deploying advanced chargers in urban locations where existing electrical infrastructure is unable to support high-charging loads. This enables safe, reliable high-power charging without extensive infrastructure upgrades – addressing practical implementation challenges as Singapore’s public network continues to expand.

SP Group Launches World's First International Index For Utilities To Advance In Grid Smartnesshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-Launches-World-s-First-International-Index-For-Utilities-To-Advance-In-Grid-Smartness
Media 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.

Instrumental in making these possible are digital technologies that will power future-ready solutions. Transforming to serve customers better Singapore Power and all members of the group now serve the public as SP Group. We are transforming to serve customers better. With disruption sweeping through every industry and facet of society, we strive to meet customers’ evolving needs by innovating and building capabilities for the future. Pivotal in realising this goal is bringing our employees from different work locations together in our new premises at Kallang Sector. This enables our people to collaborate and co-create more easily, and reaps savings in property and facilities management at our own building instead of rented offices spaces. Projecting a unified identity as SP Group is also important in providing our customers a seamless, unified experience at all touch points. Our efforts are anchored on our mission to improve quality of life for individuals of all ages, families, industries and the community. Our goal is to empower customers with sustainable lifestyle solutions to meet their needs and aspirations. In fulfilling our commitment, we have upheld strong network performance that enables Singapore to enjoy world-class reliability and efficiency. We have also maintained financial discipline and governance, closing the year on 31 March 2017 with a net profit of S$948.8 million, with our Australian associates contributing S$216.4 million. Going digital to do more with less In providing customers greater convenience, we aim to deliver a more unified, seamless experience, bringing savings in energy, time and cost. Instrumental in making these possible are digital technologies that will power future-ready solutions. Our SP Utilities mobile application is centred on customers’ growing needs and changing lifestyle. Launched in March 2017, SP Utilities enables customers to make transactions on the go, get timely reminders on bill payment, track their utilities consumption and compare it with their past usage as well as that of their neighbours. Progressively, new features are being added, such as the “live” chat for customers to have their queries addressed promptly. This is supported by our one-stop Digital Contact Centre, that also attends to customers on phone calls and email. Digital applications have also transformed the way we carry out our operations. We are better able to perform real-time monitoring of assets and network performance, establish secure protocols, avert interruption and down-time, streamline processes, respond speedily to irregularities, plan efficiently, be responsive to dynamic events and optimise resources for greater productivity and reliability. Our employees have embraced new ways of working, in order to do more with less and bring greater value to customers. They are equipped with digital tools and workspaces to perform their roles and connect with each other and our customers, regardless of where they are.
