This engineering solution builds on ST Engineering’s Airbitat Smart Cooler’s revolutionary deep cooling technology and SP’s underground district cooling network at Marina Bay that provides chilled water for air-conditioning of buildings in Marina Bay. This solution functions on chilled water running from SP’s same underground system, which is more energy-efficient than electricitypowered cooling devices. This low-cost outdoor cooling saves 90 per cent in energy consumption compared to conventional air-conditioning. Launched at the NDP Preview show on Saturday 29 July, there are 29 sets at and around the Floating Platform. In this first roll-out, the sets will be placed closest to the audience sections occupied by spectators with special needs, such as those in wheelchairs, and at areas where spectator queues may form. This unprecedented system unlocks the potential of urban spaces in land-scarce Singapore and transforms the way communities live, work and play. It also demonstrates how industry collaboration can scale up urban solutions quickly and actively deploy innovative concepts to help build an environmentally sustainable Singapore. Gareth Tang, General Manager of Innosparks, an Open Lab by ST Engineering, said, “We believe in solving complex problems of society through engineering. This innovative collaboration is one way ST Engineering pushes boundaries to create breakthrough, energy-efficient and sustainable solutions to improve daily lives.” Managing Director of SP Group’s Singapore District Cooling, Jimmy Khoo, said, “This gamechanging technology makes outdoor cooling viable in Singapore’s climate. Tapping on SP Group’s underground district cooling system that serves several buildings in Marina Bay, we are developing sustainable solutions that will help consumers save energy and cost.” 1 About ST Engineering ST Engineering (Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd) is an integrated defence and engineering group specialising in the aerospace, electronics, land systems and marine sectors.

Airbitat is effective all-day and adapts intelligently to varying conditions throughout the day to deliver ultra-efficient cooling. Unlike conventional one-mode coolers, Airbitat’s intelligent system detects the ambient environment and engages the right cooling mode to deliver the right level of thermal comfort. Most importantly, the Airbitat Smart Cooler is engineered to be eco-friendly, with negligible waste heat generation when compared to conventional air conditioning, and energy-smart as well. A typical 8- hour cooling cycle registers a combined energy and water cost as low as $2.50 a day. Singapore District Cooling’s Underground System Singapore District Cooling (SDC) operates the world’s largest underground district cooling system that provides reliable and efficient air conditioning 24/7, 365 days to 23 iconic buildings in the Marina Bay area. District cooling contributes to a sustainable Singapore. The system saves as much as 40 per cent in electricity consumption, and reduces 34,500 tonnes carbon dioxide emissions annually – equivalent to removing 10,000 cars from Singapore’s roads. The electricity savings in the Marina Bay area are equivalent to powering 23,718 3-room HDB flats for a year. Engineering and design makes SDC’s operations unique, enabling this huge industrial facility to be housed underground, freeing up space for more important use in land-scarce Singapore. Overseas, SDC is building a district cooling system for CapitaLand’s Raffles City Chongqing. Once completed, the system will enable the development to save 50 per cent in energy savings and reduce utility costs by about S$30 million over the next 20 years. 4 Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=outdoor-cooling Search Sustainabilityhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/energy-hub/sustainability/sp-cools-outdoor-food-fiesta SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation SP Cools Outdoor Food Fiesta SUSTAINABILITY With temperatures at a high of 33 degree Celsius, Nathasha Azman was relieved to spot SP Group’s outdoor coolers in Food Fiesta 2019 at Bayfront Avenue.

The system saves as much as 40 per cent in electricity consumption, and reduces 34,500 tonnes carbon dioxide emissions annually – equivalent to removing 10,000 cars from Singapore’s roads. The electricity savings in the Marina Bay area are equivalent to powering 23,718 3-room HDB flats for a year. Engineering and design makes SDC’s operations unique, enabling this huge industrial facility to be housed underground, freeing up space for more important use in land-scarce Singapore. Overseas, SDC is building a district cooling system for CapitaLand’s Raffles City Chongqing. Once completed, the system will enable the development to save 50 per cent in energy savings and reduce utility costs by about S$30 million over the next 20 years. 4 Sustainabilityhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/energy-hub/sustainability/a-greener--cooler-world SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation A Greener, Cooler World SUSTAINABILITY In our tropical climate, keeping cool is an important part of enjoying a better quality of life.

Annex 1 Key Projects Featured 1) Scone Project Brief Scone aims to increase renewable energy generation in Singapore significantly using a solar cone. The solar cone is a hybrid that uses solar cone and solar-concentrating lenses to maximise energy absorption onto a solar cell. This cone promises to produce more than five times the energy than a conventional solar panel. It is essentially a higher efficiency concentrator photovoltaic that aims to harness more energy per unit area. Utilising solar technology, a heat exchanger and a cone structure, the cone generates both solar and thermal energy. There is intention to implement the solar cone at the rooftop of residential units as it allows excess heat to be converted to heated water for residential usage. This technology taps on expertise from district cooling. Benefits to customers As it is expected to generate more than five times solar energy as compared to a conventional solar panel, customers using this technology can offset their consumption, thus leading to a lower utilities bill. 2) Cloud Nine Project Brief This project uses the collection of rainwater at the top of high-rise buildings to harvest gravitational potential energy as it falls from the top of the building to the ground. This is especially relevant in Singapore with a large population of tall buildings. By retrofitting these buildings with the team’s proposed mechanism – channelling the rainwater collected on rooftops down the buildings – it will generate energy through the process for storage and subsequent usage. Benefits to customers It uses the energy generated by falling rainwater as an alternate source of renewable energy generation besides solar and wind. It is suitable for countries that face land constraint like Singapore. The use of gravitational force and turbine increases the efficiency to harvest usable energy that can power up a 12-Watt LED light bulb for 21,150 hours. This could potentially translate into cost savings to residents, building management and Town Councils, possibly resulting in lower maintenance fee in the long-term. *** Annex 1 (cont’d) 3) Savez Project Brief Savez’s product is solar cell that mimics photosynthesis for organic, highly sustainable, and versatile energy use. Benefits to customers This product is sustainable, scalable and organic. It is also cost-efficient to produce. *** 4) GreenLoco Project Brief This idea is to use human movement to self-generate electricity. It focuses on crowdsourcing energy, merging piezoelectric technology, wireless power transmission as well as Singapore’s high population density. Benefits to customers This product allows customers to self-generate electricity and raise awareness of energy issues, allowing Singaporeans to contribute to the main grid. *** 5) RoadX Project Brief RoadX is a power generation and transmission solution for Singapore’s roadways. It combines the use of solar panelled, piezo-electric charging roads and roadside wind turbines with dynamic wireless charging through induction for electric vehicles. The plan to vary the usage of each component to suit local traffic conditions of roads. Benefits to customers RoadX aims to help customers reduce carbon emission and fossil fuel dependency.

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

Associate Professor Lim Tit Meng, Chief Executive of Science Centre Board said, “The sustainability mandate is not a new one, it has just been brought into focus in the face of the ongoing economic and environmental crises. Efficient energy consumption, on a larger scale can significantly impact immediate capital and climate recovery to help us realise the long-term vision of a truly sustainable society. With Energy Story exhibition, we hope that guests from all walks of life will gain a better understanding of the importance of growing green energy and be inspired to play a part in the nation’s “energy reset” movement. From institutions to authorities, companies to the public, we all need to work together to change the future of our world.” Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive, Energy Market Authority added, “Singapore’s energy landscape has evolved significantly over the last 50 years. We switched from the use of oil-fired power plants to cleaner sources such as natural gas. Singapore is also one of the most solar energy-dense cities in the world. We plan to decarbonise our power sector further with the deployment of more low-carbon options. We hope Singaporeans and especially students can learn about Singapore’s energy transformation and play a part in creating a sustainable energy future for all.” Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer, SP Group, commented, “Through this exhibition, visitors can learn about Singapore’s world-class energy network, and what goes into making it reliable, secure and sustainable for generations to come. As we empower the future of energy, we put knowledge and tools in the hands of the public, so that everyone can take steps to contribute towards a greener world. This exhibition will also be a net-zero showcase, through the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates on the SP REC Platform2. The electricity consumption of the interactive space will be fully matched with an equivalent amount of green energy produced.” Six zones of multimedia displays, interactives, and poster panels tell the story of how humankind has progressed off the back of energy discovery, and must now work towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. Visitors can explore global, regional, and local energy data, interact with models of different technologies, and demonstrate relevant physics concepts. A key feature of the exhibition is Singapore’s Energy Story, a zone dedicated to raising awareness of our four energy switches and how we are working towards greater sustainability.

Joint Media Release OUTDOOR COOLING INNOVATION MADE IN SINGAPORE BY ST ENGINEERING AND SP GROUP FOR NATIONAL DAY PARADE Singapore, 27 July 2017 – In a first for Singapore’s National Day Parade (NDP), segments of audiences will enjoy cool air comfort outdoors at the Floating Platform, through a made-in- Singapore innovation that ST Engineering and SP Group (SP) have created. This engineering solution builds on ST Engineering’s Airbitat Smart Cooler’s revolutionary deep cooling technology and SP’s underground district cooling network at Marina Bay that provides chilled water for air-conditioning of buildings in Marina Bay. This solution functions on chilled water running from SP’s same underground system, which is more energy-efficient than electricitypowered cooling devices. This low-cost outdoor cooling saves 90 per cent in energy consumption compared to conventional air-conditioning. Launched at the NDP Preview show on Saturday 29 July, there are 29 sets at and around the Floating Platform. In this first roll-out, the sets will be placed closest to the audience sections occupied by spectators with special needs, such as those in wheelchairs, and at areas where spectator queues may form. This unprecedented system unlocks the potential of urban spaces in land-scarce Singapore and transforms the way communities live, work and play. It also demonstrates how industry collaboration can scale up urban solutions quickly and actively deploy innovative concepts to help build an environmentally sustainable Singapore. Gareth Tang, General Manager of Innosparks, an Open Lab by ST Engineering, said, “We believe in solving complex problems of society through engineering. This innovative collaboration is one way ST Engineering pushes boundaries to create breakthrough, energy-efficient and sustainable solutions to improve daily lives.” Managing Director of SP Group’s Singapore District Cooling, Jimmy Khoo, said, “This gamechanging technology makes outdoor cooling viable in Singapore’s climate.

Airbitat is effective all-day and adapts intelligently to varying conditions throughout the day to deliver ultra-efficient cooling. Unlike conventional one-mode coolers, Airbitat’s intelligent system detects the ambient environment and engages the right cooling mode to deliver the right level of thermal comfort. Most importantly, the Airbitat Smart Cooler is engineered to be eco-friendly, with negligible waste heat generation when compared to conventional air conditioning, and energy-smart as well. A typical 8- hour cooling cycle registers a combined energy and water cost as low as $2.50 a day. Singapore District Cooling’s Underground System Singapore District Cooling (SDC) operates the world’s largest underground district cooling system that provides reliable and efficient air conditioning 24/7, 365 days to 23 iconic buildings in the Marina Bay area. District cooling contributes to a sustainable Singapore. The system saves as much as 40 per cent in electricity consumption, and reduces 34,500 tonnes carbon dioxide emissions annually – equivalent to removing 10,000 cars from Singapore’s roads. The electricity savings in the Marina Bay area are equivalent to powering 23,718 3-room HDB flats for a year. Engineering and design makes SDC’s operations unique, enabling this huge industrial facility to be housed underground, freeing up space for more important use in land-scarce Singapore. Overseas, SDC is building a district cooling system for CapitaLand’s Raffles City Chongqing. Once completed, the system will enable the development to save 50 per cent in energy savings and reduce utility costs by about S$30 million over the next 20 years. 4

The global Smart Grid Index (SGI) 2021 by SP Group sees utilities speed up plans towards a decarbonised grid. From the increased focus on green energy and steep rise of renewable energy penetration to electric vehicle charging initiatives, the latest index indicates unprecedented levels of commitment to reduce carbon emissions. Globally, 65 per cent of utilities have solar and wind energy contributing more than 10 per cent of system demand, an increase of nine per cent from the previous year. About 45 per cent of utilities are actively enabling the use of electric vehicles through public charging infrastructure. Into its fourth year, the SGI is a benchmarking tool for key players in the industry to share and drive best practices on smart grid advancement. A total of 86 utilities across 37 countries participated in this year’s indexing exercise. With the energy transformation picking up pace, this annual Index will play an even bigger role in helping grid operators track their progress as the sector races to meet climate change targets.

The global Smart Grid Index (SGI) 2021 by SP Group sees utilities speed up plans towards a decarbonised grid. From the increased focus on green energy and steep rise of renewable energy penetration to electric vehicle charging initiatives, the latest index indicates unprecedented levels of commitment to reduce carbon emissions. Globally, 65 per cent of utilities have solar and wind energy contributing more than 10 per cent of system demand, an increase of nine per cent from the previous year. About 45 per cent of utilities are actively enabling the use of electric vehicles through public charging infrastructure. Into its fourth year, the SGI is a benchmarking tool for key players in the industry to share and drive best practices on smart grid advancement. A total of 86 utilities across 37 countries participated in this year’s indexing exercise. With the energy transformation picking up pace, this annual Index will play an even bigger role in helping grid operators track their progress as the sector races to meet climate change targets.

The global Smart Grid Index (SGI) 2021 by SP Group sees utilities speed up plans towards a decarbonised grid. From the increased focus on green energy and steep rise of renewable energy penetration to electric vehicle charging initiatives, the latest index indicates unprecedented levels of commitment to reduce carbon emissions. Globally, 65 per cent of utilities have solar and wind energy contributing more than 10 per cent of system demand, an increase of nine per cent from the previous year. About 45 per cent of utilities are actively enabling the use of electric vehicles through public charging infrastructure. Into its fourth year, the SGI is a benchmarking tool for key players in the industry to share and drive best practices on smart grid advancement. A total of 86 utilities across 37 countries participated in this year’s indexing exercise. With the energy transformation picking up pace, this annual Index will play an even bigger role in helping grid operators track their progress as the sector races to meet climate change targets.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Transforming to Serve You Better RELIABILITY 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. 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. We have continued to build engineering talent and bench strength, with SP’s own EDGE, iGRAD and LEAP scholarships for students in tertiary, polytechnic and technical institutes, as well as incumbent professionals making the transition to higher level responsibilities and roles that have evolved with the changing landscape. In all our undertakings, we keep an unwavering focus on the safety of the public, our staff and contractors. We have strengthened contractor partnership and management programmes to reward good safety practices and encourage improvement in areas we have identified. Powering a greener future We are developing green technologies and adopting more sustainable practices in our operations. In the last year, we started our journey towards converting our service fleet to Electric Vehicles. To maintain the fleet, we have installed a robust network of charging stations at various locations in Singapore. 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.

A former SP cable-jointing workshop at Woodleigh has been upcycled to be the birthplace of cutting-edge discoveries. The 23,000 sq ft site space is repurposed to be SP’s “Concept Lab”, and acts as a collaboration space for its open innovation team of 40 and co-development partners. At the Concept Lab, breakthrough ideas to solve energy challenges faced by SP and corporate customers are refined, tested and co-developed with experts from industry and academia. “We designed and built the part-lab, part-office space from scratch. We have a lab to test new concepts and technologies, and also an office space to see them at work,” explains Brandon Chia, who led the setting up of the lab in 2018. One of the major breakthroughs was a Hydrogen Energy System that powers the first zero-emission building in Southeast Asia. The system uses solar energy to extract hydrogen from water, safely stores the hydrogen and generates electricity when needed. A three-month pilot in 2019 by the team at Concept Lab and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) tackled the perennial problem of staff at one section of an office feeling warm while those in another are wrapped up in sweaters. By using a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence, temperature uniformity was achieved at the SIT’s Dover campus. This microclimate control technology reduced energy usage by more than 30 per cent. Following its success, plans to potentially scale up this technology at the SIT’s campus in Punggol Digital District are underway. “Innovation isn’t simply about new technology, it is also about relooking the business model and figuring out how new ideas can be made commercially viable and sustainable,” he explained.  The SP scholar’s diverse experience since he first joined SP in 2002 helps him consider innovation from different angles. Brandon has held various positions in SP, ranging from operations, regulatory management and risk management to business development, mergers and acquisitions and technology development, in Singapore and Australia. This puts him in good stead for his newly minted role as Managing Director of Investments for SP’s international businesses. Brandon with team members and partners from SIT & 75F [1] at the Concept Lab. “Innovation isn’t simply about new technology, it’s also about relooking the business model and figuring out how new ideas can improve quality of life for customers, be sustainable and commercially viable,” he concluded. — 27 February 2020 [1] A building intelligence solutions provider.

A former SP cable-jointing workshop at Woodleigh has been upcycled to be the birthplace of cutting-edge discoveries. The 23,000 sq ft site space is repurposed to be SP’s “Concept Lab”, and acts as a collaboration space for its open innovation team of 40 and co-development partners. At the Concept Lab, breakthrough ideas to solve energy challenges faced by SP and corporate customers are refined, tested and co-developed with experts from industry and academia. “We designed and built the part-lab, part-office space from scratch. We have a lab to test new concepts and technologies, and also an office space to see them at work,” explains Brandon Chia, who led the setting up of the lab in 2018. One of the major breakthroughs was a Hydrogen Energy System that powers the first zero-emission building in Southeast Asia. The system uses solar energy to extract hydrogen from water, safely stores the hydrogen and generates electricity when needed. A three-month pilot in 2019 by the team at Concept Lab and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) tackled the perennial problem of staff at one section of an office feeling warm while those in another are wrapped up in sweaters. By using a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence, temperature uniformity was achieved at the SIT’s Dover campus. This microclimate control technology reduced energy usage by more than 30 per cent. Following its success, plans to potentially scale up this technology at the SIT’s campus in Punggol Digital District are underway. “Innovation isn’t simply about new technology, it is also about relooking the business model and figuring out how new ideas can be made commercially viable and sustainable,” he explained.  The SP scholar’s diverse experience since he first joined SP in 2002 helps him consider innovation from different angles. Brandon has held various positions in SP, ranging from operations, regulatory management and risk management to business development, mergers and acquisitions and technology development, in Singapore and Australia. This puts him in good stead for his newly minted role as Managing Director of Investments for SP’s international businesses.

But because it is highly combustible, managing it safely is key. Energy utilities firm SP Group has found a way to do this, HOW IT WORKS 1 Solar panels Sunlight is harnessed and converted into electricity. This electricity is used mainly to power the lights, computers and air-conditioners in the building. 1 Battery and power conversion system with hydrogen generated using renewable energy. Its concept lab at Woodleigh Park is now 100 per cent powered by renewable energy. Energy management system Metal hydride storage tanks 3 4 Fuel cell ADVANTAGES OF HYDROGEN ENERGY SYSTEM • Hydrogen gas is generated using a renewable energy source, instead of fossil fuels. • Hydrogen is stored in a safe way. • Overcomes challenges such as the intermittency of sunshine, since electricity can be "stored" in the metal hydride tanks. 2 Water electrolyser Excess electricity generated by the solar panels during bright, sunny days is channelled to the water electrolyser. At this stage, electricity is used to drive a chemical process known as electrolysis, which separates water (H2O) into its two component elements, hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). These are collected in gaseous form – hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2). 3 Metal hydride storage tanks The oxygen gas generated in step 2 is discharged into the environment. But the hydrogen gas is stored in metal hydride tanks comprising powder made of a special metal alloy. The hydrogen gas is absorbed by the metal alloy, allowing the gas to be stored safely at low pressure. Fuel cell When electricity is needed during periods when there is no sunlight, such as at night or during cloudy days, the hydrogen stored in the tanks is converted back into hydrogen gas by heating it with the hot Water electrolyser 2 4 2,000kWh 5 water from the fuel cell. Hydrogen gas is then sent to the fuel cell to combine with oxygen from the atmosphere, to produce electricity and hot water. SP Group’s zero emission building BY THE NUMBERS The energy consumption of the building is around The indoor floor space of the building is 574 sq m a month Approximately the monthly consumption of 4-room HDB flats It’s about the size of a 20-foot container Source: SP GROUP, GOOGLE MAPS STRAITS TIMES GRAPHICS: LEE HUP KHENG H is for clean, alternative power Singapore looking to producing hydrogen the zero-emissions way by tapping solar energy Audrey Tan Environment Correspondent As fossil fuels burn to feed the world’s hunger for energy, the blanket of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is thickening. But as temperatures climb and extreme weather events pummel various parts of the world, nations are starting to realise that greener ways of powering cities and economies are needed. Renewable energy, such as that from the sun, wind or tides, is a solution that has been widely deployed around the world. But alternative “clean fuels” such as hydrogen gas have also been gaining attention from the research community, including in Singapore. THE ADVANTAGES OF HYDROGEN The main reason hydrogen gas is touted as a “clean” fuel is that it does not produce carbon dioxide when it is burned to produce energy, unlike other forms of fossil fuel. Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas driving global warming. Mr Goh Chee Kiong, chief executive of the new energies business at home-grown energy utilities company SP Group, said: “When hydrogen gas is used as a fuel, it produces water and energy.” But for hydrogen to be a truly green fuel, it has to be generated in a way that also produces zero emissions, he said. Hydrogen is abundant in the environment, but it exists in other forms, such as water and methane. As the United States Department of Energy explains on the website of its Alternative Fuels Data Centre, “one of the challenges of using hydrogen as a fuel comes from being able to efficiently extract it from these compounds”. For example, hydrogen gas can be extracted through a chemical process known as electrolysis, which involves running an electrical current through water to split the water molecule into its component elements. Mr Goh noted: “If the electricity required for electrolysis comes from fossil fuel-generated sources, then hydrogen gas may not be that green after all.” Another potential of hydrogen lies in its energy storage capability, which can be used in tandem with renewable energy systems. Renewable energy sources are often intermittent. Even in sunny Singapore, solar energy has its limits. Overcast days, for instance, make it harder for solar panels to do their job. But if excess electricity produced during sunny, cloudless days can be stored, such zero-emissions electricity can power offices and homes even when there is no sunlight. Traditional energy storage options include lithium ion batteries, which function like the regular batteries used in home appliances. But the drawback is that these gradually lose their charge over time. Mr Goh noted the potential of hydrogen fuel cells, which, in essence, work like batteries in that they can “store” electricity generated: “In temperate countries, there is plenty of sunshine during the summer months. “If excess renewable energy generated during this period can be stored effectively over months, this green energy can be used again during the winter months, when energy consumption for heating is expected to go up.” Professor Subodh Mhaisalkar, executive director of the Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), said batteries are an energy storage technology, whereas hydrogen can be used for energy storage and electricity generation. He said: “With significantly higher energy per kilogram compared with batteries, hydrogen is an ideal long-term large-scale energy storage solution. Batteries, on the other hand, are more suitable for applications that need short response periods of minutes to hours.” But despite hydrogen’s advantages, some obstacles to its wider use are that it is expensive and easily combustible. Research is ongoing to lower the costs and also make it safer to transport and use. A SINGAPORE PILOT In Singapore, SP Group is trialling a hydrogen energy system at its concept lab in Woodleigh. The system, developed in partnership with investment firm Marubeni Corporation and Tohoku University in Japan, generates green hydrogen through electrolysis powered by solar energy. The hydrogen is then stored in special tanks comprising a metal alloy. Hydrogen atoms bind to the metal alloy, allowing it to be stored safely at low pressure. Since October last year, the building, which consumes about 2,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a month – equivalent to the monthly usage of five four-room Housing Board flats – has been able to operate independently from the national grid. SP Group said this makes the building the first zero-emission building in South-east Asia. There are other “net-zero” energy buildings here, which typically harness solar energy. These buildings produce more energy than they consume, but may still draw from the national grid at night. While the cost of such hydrogen energy systems is high today, more research and greater deployment would bring costs down, Mr Goh said, pointing to a similar trend in solar photovoltaic technology. He declined to reveal the cost of the hydrogen energy system, but said SP Group was investing in the technology as it recognised the potential for such a system to be deployed around the world. Professor Chan Siew Hwa, a hydrogen expert and President’s Chair in Energy at NTU, said hydrogen is an attractive option for Singapore, which has limited renewable energy options. “We have to diversify energy sources beyond that of solar in order to develop energy solutions to meet our electricity needs more reliably and quickly. Hydrogen has stood up to be a promising choice for Singapore’s future energy outlook,” he said. audreyt@sph.com.sg Left: (From far left) SP Group deputy director Lu Yang; Mr Goh Chee Kiong, chief executive of SP Group’s new energies business; and SP Group senior engineer Sethu Sundar Pethaiah standing in front of a hydrogen energy system at its concept lab in Woodleigh.

Airbitat is effective all-day and adapts intelligently to varying conditions throughout the day to deliver ultra-efficient cooling. Unlike conventional one-mode coolers, Airbitat’s intelligent system detects the ambient environment and engages the right cooling mode to deliver the right level of thermal comfort. Most importantly, the Airbitat Smart Cooler is engineered to be eco-friendly, with negligible waste heat generation when compared to conventional air conditioning, and energy-smart as well. A typical 8- hour cooling cycle registers a combined energy and water cost as low as $2.50 a day. Singapore District Cooling’s Underground System Singapore District Cooling (SDC) operates the world’s largest underground district cooling system that provides reliable and efficient air conditioning 24/7, 365 days to 23 iconic buildings in the Marina Bay area. District cooling contributes to a sustainable Singapore. The system saves as much as 40 per cent in electricity consumption, and reduces 34,500 tonnes carbon dioxide emissions annually – equivalent to removing 10,000 cars from Singapore’s roads. The electricity savings in the Marina Bay area are equivalent to powering 23,718 3-room HDB flats for a year. Engineering and design makes SDC’s operations unique, enabling this huge industrial facility to be housed underground, freeing up space for more important use in land-scarce Singapore. Overseas, SDC is building a district cooling system for CapitaLand’s Raffles City Chongqing. Once completed, the system will enable the development to save 50 per cent in energy savings and reduce utility costs by about S$30 million over the next 20 years. 4 [20201105] The Business Times Online - CapitaLand, SP Group and Sembcorp to explore green data centreshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:7f38cca9-bf70-4ebb-8ce4-740f024dec2a COMPANIES & MARKETS CapitaLand, SP Group and Sembcorp to explore green data centres � THU, NOV 05, 2020 - 8:52 AM RACHEL MUI � rachmui@sph.com.sg � @RachelMuiBT The study will initially focus on developing solutions to power CapitaLand's agship data centre at 9 Tai Seng Drive with green energy.

Annex 1 Key Projects Featured 1) Scone Project Brief Scone aims to increase renewable energy generation in Singapore significantly using a solar cone. The solar cone is a hybrid that uses solar cone and solar-concentrating lenses to maximise energy absorption onto a solar cell. This cone promises to produce more than five times the energy than a conventional solar panel. It is essentially a higher efficiency concentrator photovoltaic that aims to harness more energy per unit area. Utilising solar technology, a heat exchanger and a cone structure, the cone generates both solar and thermal energy. There is intention to implement the solar cone at the rooftop of residential units as it allows excess heat to be converted to heated water for residential usage. This technology taps on expertise from district cooling. Benefits to customers As it is expected to generate more than five times solar energy as compared to a conventional solar panel, customers using this technology can offset their consumption, thus leading to a lower utilities bill. 2) Cloud Nine Project Brief This project uses the collection of rainwater at the top of high-rise buildings to harvest gravitational potential energy as it falls from the top of the building to the ground. This is especially relevant in Singapore with a large population of tall buildings. By retrofitting these buildings with the team’s proposed mechanism – channelling the rainwater collected on rooftops down the buildings – it will generate energy through the process for storage and subsequent usage. Benefits to customers It uses the energy generated by falling rainwater as an alternate source of renewable energy generation besides solar and wind. It is suitable for countries that face land constraint like Singapore. The use of gravitational force and turbine increases the efficiency to harvest usable energy that can power up a 12-Watt LED light bulb for 21,150 hours. This could potentially translate into cost savings to residents, building management and Town Councils, possibly resulting in lower maintenance fee in the long-term. *** Annex 1 (cont’d) 3) Savez Project Brief Savez’s product is solar cell that mimics photosynthesis for organic, highly sustainable, and versatile energy use. Benefits to customers This product is sustainable, scalable and organic. It is also cost-efficient to produce. *** 4) GreenLoco Project Brief This idea is to use human movement to self-generate electricity. It focuses on crowdsourcing energy, merging piezoelectric technology, wireless power transmission as well as Singapore’s high population density. Benefits to customers This product allows customers to self-generate electricity and raise awareness of energy issues, allowing Singaporeans to contribute to the main grid. *** 5) RoadX Project Brief RoadX is a power generation and transmission solution for Singapore’s roadways. It combines the use of solar panelled, piezo-electric charging roads and roadside wind turbines with dynamic wireless charging through induction for electric vehicles. The plan to vary the usage of each component to suit local traffic conditions of roads. Benefits to customers RoadX aims to help customers reduce carbon emission and fossil fuel dependency.

To regulate the ISC’s indoor environment balancing energy efficiency with users’ thermal comfort and wellbeing, SP will deploy its suite of smart building energy management solutions – Green Energy Tech (GETTM). A key innovative solution is GETTM Control, a self-learning building intelligence system that utilises artificial intelligence (A.I.) and Internet of Things (IoT) to optimise and regulate air-conditioning based on changes in occupancy and ambient weather conditions. Expected to potentially save up to 30 per cent on cooling energy and reduce carbon emissions by close to 18 per cent, the micro-climate control system utilises sensors and smart dampers to ensure cool air is sent to where it is needed. This enhances the well-being and thermal comfort for occupants while maximising energy and operational efficiency. Mr. Brandon Chia, Managing Director, Sustainability Energy Solutions, Southeast Asia and Australia, SP Group, said, "Our collaboration with Frasers Property Vietnam underscores our goal of empowering the sustainability ambitions of industrial parks and contributing to the net-zero targets of Vietnam. Through our bespoke and integrated system of smart and sustainable energy solutions, industrial parks can seamlessly harness renewable energy sources and transition to energy-efficient operations that will enhance cost savings, carbon emission reductions, and promote productivity." Leading the MoU signing ceremony on behalf of Frasers Property, Mr. Lim Hua Tiong, CEO of Frasers Property Vietnam, said: “As a multinational real estate developer, we take a long-term view for all our projects. We want to create buildings that are durable, adaptable, and resilient to the changing environment and needs of our customers. That is why we have applied our expertise in design and masterplanning to our first industrial showcase in Vietnam, Binh Duong Industrial Park. By partnering with SP, we are adopting industry-leading energy management practices to further improve the energy efficiency and sustainability credentials of our properties.” Also present at the signing ceremony was Frasers Property’s Group Head of Sustainability, Mr. Paolo Bevilacqua, who shared: “It is heartening to see the overall efforts we are making in adopting renewable energy sources for powering our properties, which is critical if we are to decarbonise to achieve our vision of sustainable real estate. This partnership between like-minded organisations demonstrates how our net-zero carbon goal can bring tangible benefits to tenants and customers with lower operational costs and a reduced carbon footprint.” Located in one of Vietnam’s key southern economic hubs in Binh Duong province, BDIP is FPV’s first industrial park development in Vietnam well served by National Route 13 and connected to major seaports and airports in the region. BDIP sits on more than 106 hectares of land, providing high quality industrial facilities built to international standards. The industrial park is amongst one of few developments in Vietnam to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified, which accredits for healthy, efficient, carbon and cost-saving green buildings. BDIP is appealing to sustainability-minded tenants, with Phase 1 now at over 90 per cent occupancy. The next development phase for BDIP is now open for pre-committed tenants in both ready-built and built-to-suit configurations. Realising sustainable real estate in Vietnam As a Group, Frasers Property is committed to be a net-zero carbon corporation by 2050, encompassing Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions. One of Frasers Property’s sustainability goals focuses on green-certifying its owned and asset-managed properties, which is also a business commitment of Frasers Property Vietnam to achieve green certification for all buildings in its portfolio. In late 2022, Frasers Property Vietnam became the first real estate company in Vietnam to be endorsed by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). It received approval from SBTi for its detailed net-zero carbon roadmaps and carbon reduction targets that help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As part of its SBTi plans, the company intends to progressively install rooftop solar panels, allocate renewable energy for street lighting and introduce energy- and water-efficient building equipment renewable energy across its developments. Achieving a low-carbon future for Vietnam This partnership with FPV highlights SP’s commitment to help Vietnam’s energy-intensive sectors decarbonise, and to contribute towards Vietnam’s sustainability targets through the proliferation of various sustainability energy solutions. Earlier this year, SP acquired two solar farms of 100 Megawatts-peak (MWp) in Vietnam’s Phu Yen province. The acquisition builds SP’s capability and expertise to help customers achieve 100% clean energy consumption when the Direct Power Purchase Framework in Vietnam is in place. It also demonstrates SP’s long-term commitment to be a one-stop provider of sustainable energy services that enables commercial and industrial customers to achieve their net-zero ambitions.   ABOUT SP GROUP SP Group is a leading utilities group in the Asia Pacific, empowering the future of energy with low-carbon, smart energy solutions for its customers.

Back for a second year, SP Group and ST Engineering have an improved outdoor cooling solution at the National Day Parade 2018, to help spectators beat the heat. The system will cool sections seating beneficiaries with special needs, such as those in wheelchairs. These spectators can enjoy the parade, performances and festivities in cool comfort outdoors, through this made-in-Singapore innovation. This year’s improved version has direct individualised air outlets with adjustable louvers that uniformly distributes cold air as low as 22 degrees celsius throughout the area. It has also been designed to blend into the seating area to optimise space and avoid obstructing spectators’ view. "It's a brilliant idea that is cooling everyone. It's helping all the spectators here, making them so comfortable. I was here last year and this makes it a world of difference." — Suresh Vanaz "This is my first NDP, and when I arrived, I was surprised to find this cooling solution at my seat. It certainly makes it a more comfortable and enjoyable experience." — Theresa Lee Building on SP’s underground district cooling network at Marina Bay, this solution also consumes 90 per cent less energy than conventional air-conditioning for the same cooling capacity. — 6 August 2018 TAGS SUSTAINABILITYOUTDOOR COOLINGDISTRICT COOLING YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Empowering Green Capabilities Satinderpal Singh and Fong Yi Kit deal with the polarising "hot" and "cold" elements at work, but share one thing in common: empowering organisations with tools to create a low carbon, smart energy Singapore.

The global Smart Grid Index (SGI) 2021 by SP Group sees utilities speed up plans towards a decarbonised grid. From the increased focus on green energy and steep rise of renewable energy penetration to electric vehicle charging initiatives, the latest index indicates unprecedented levels of commitment to reduce carbon emissions. Globally, 65 per cent of utilities have solar and wind energy contributing more than 10 per cent of system demand, an increase of nine per cent from the previous year. About 45 per cent of utilities are actively enabling the use of electric vehicles through public charging infrastructure. Into its fourth year, the SGI is a benchmarking tool for key players in the industry to share and drive best practices on smart grid advancement. A total of 86 utilities across 37 countries participated in this year’s indexing exercise. With the energy transformation picking up pace, this annual Index will play an even bigger role in helping grid operators track their progress as the sector races to meet climate change targets.

The global Smart Grid Index (SGI) 2021 by SP Group sees utilities speed up plans towards a decarbonised grid. From the increased focus on green energy and steep rise of renewable energy penetration to electric vehicle charging initiatives, the latest index indicates unprecedented levels of commitment to reduce carbon emissions. Globally, 65 per cent of utilities have solar and wind energy contributing more than 10 per cent of system demand, an increase of nine per cent from the previous year. About 45 per cent of utilities are actively enabling the use of electric vehicles through public charging infrastructure. Into its fourth year, the SGI is a benchmarking tool for key players in the industry to share and drive best practices on smart grid advancement. A total of 86 utilities across 37 countries participated in this year’s indexing exercise. With the energy transformation picking up pace, this annual Index will play an even bigger role in helping grid operators track their progress as the sector races to meet climate change targets.

Her team collates and analyses recorded measurements and checks for anomalies in switchgears and transformers. Maizan Binte Abdullah performing condition monitoring checks. (Photo was taken before circuit breaker) When Maizan joined SP 38 years ago, she was doing something quite different. Learning and Adapting After completing her post-secondary education, Maizan started as an apprentice in the Electro Mechanical Maintenance Fitting department at the Public Utilities Board (PUB). Subsequently, she was posted to the Meters section to conduct meter maintenance activities. Maizan (in blue attire) and her former colleagues from Meters section enjoying a durian feast together. When PUB corporatised in 1995, she moved to SP where she continued with the Meters section for the next 14 years. She would have thought that would be her home for the rest of her career. However in 2019, she was seconded to CM. This change to field work seemed to be unsurmountable, having been in a deskbound administrative role for more than 20 years. “Given my age, I was very worried that I may not be able to cope with the demands of the new role. However, I recognised that I needed to move out of my comfort zone and acquire new skills to remain relevant,” shared Maizan. After going through training and with strong support from her team and the management, Maizan is settling so well at CM that she became the team lead for North Zone in the same year. A lifelong learner, Maizan completed her part-time Diploma in Engineering (Power Engineering) programme at Singapore Polytechnic in May 2020 under SP’s sponsorship. She soldiered on despite having to juggle her new role and studies. “There were times when I felt overwhelmed and felt like giving up. I am glad I had the support from my family, my boss and colleagues who encouraged me to persevere. This experience has been very enriching, and I look forward to continue growing!” exclaimed Maizan. Growing despite COVID-19 With this mindset, Maizan and her team continued to learn new ways of working to carry out their duties during the Circuit Breaker period. Maizan and her colleagues use handheld detectors to detect for abnormalities in the network. This is to prevent faults from developing and causing power disruptions. “Due to the need to minimise contact, we had to stagger our working hours. This is a challenge as CM relies heavily on teamwork. We also had to wear a mask when doing checks in the substation, which is an enclosed space and often hot and humid,” shared Maizan. However, Maizan takes it in her stride. She performs daily check-ins with her team members via instant messaging and tele-conferencing. With a sparkle in her eyes, she said, “Work is never the same every day. I take this as an opportunity to grow – to be stronger and better in managing change and future crises.” — 27 July 2020 TAGS LIFELONG LEARNERPEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITYCONDITION MONITORING YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Empowering talent Benjamin Festin describes how SP is constantly designing programmes for employees to grow and upskill, while Muhammad Ariff Bin Ramli shares how he feels empowered to assume greater responsibilities in his job role.

The global Smart Grid Index (SGI) 2021 by SP Group sees utilities speed up plans towards a decarbonised grid. From the increased focus on green energy and steep rise of renewable energy penetration to electric vehicle charging initiatives, the latest index indicates unprecedented levels of commitment to reduce carbon emissions. Globally, 65 per cent of utilities have solar and wind energy contributing more than 10 per cent of system demand, an increase of nine per cent from the previous year. About 45 per cent of utilities are actively enabling the use of electric vehicles through public charging infrastructure. Into its fourth year, the SGI is a benchmarking tool for key players in the industry to share and drive best practices on smart grid advancement. A total of 86 utilities across 37 countries participated in this year’s indexing exercise. With the energy transformation picking up pace, this annual Index will play an even bigger role in helping grid operators track their progress as the sector races to meet climate change targets.

Her team collates and analyses recorded measurements and checks for anomalies in switchgears and transformers. Maizan Binte Abdullah performing condition monitoring checks. (Photo was taken before circuit breaker) When Maizan joined SP 38 years ago, she was doing something quite different. Learning and Adapting After completing her post-secondary education, Maizan started as an apprentice in the Electro Mechanical Maintenance Fitting department at the Public Utilities Board (PUB). Subsequently, she was posted to the Meters section to conduct meter maintenance activities. Maizan (in blue attire) and her former colleagues from Meters section enjoying a durian feast together. When PUB corporatised in 1995, she moved to SP where she continued with the Meters section for the next 14 years. She would have thought that would be her home for the rest of her career. However in 2019, she was seconded to CM. This change to field work seemed to be unsurmountable, having been in a deskbound administrative role for more than 20 years. “Given my age, I was very worried that I may not be able to cope with the demands of the new role. However, I recognised that I needed to move out of my comfort zone and acquire new skills to remain relevant,” shared Maizan. After going through training and with strong support from her team and the management, Maizan is settling so well at CM that she became the team lead for North Zone in the same year. A lifelong learner, Maizan completed her part-time Diploma in Engineering (Power Engineering) programme at Singapore Polytechnic in May 2020 under SP’s sponsorship. She soldiered on despite having to juggle her new role and studies. “There were times when I felt overwhelmed and felt like giving up. I am glad I had the support from my family, my boss and colleagues who encouraged me to persevere. This experience has been very enriching, and I look forward to continue growing!” exclaimed Maizan. Growing despite COVID-19 With this mindset, Maizan and her team continued to learn new ways of working to carry out their duties during the Circuit Breaker period. Maizan and her colleagues use handheld detectors to detect for abnormalities in the network. This is to prevent faults from developing and causing power disruptions. “Due to the need to minimise contact, we had to stagger our working hours. This is a challenge as CM relies heavily on teamwork. We also had to wear a mask when doing checks in the substation, which is an enclosed space and often hot and humid,” shared Maizan. However, Maizan takes it in her stride. She performs daily check-ins with her team members via instant messaging and tele-conferencing. With a sparkle in her eyes, she said, “Work is never the same every day. I take this as an opportunity to grow – to be stronger and better in managing change and future crises.” — 27 July 2020 TAGS LIFELONG LEARNERPEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITYCONDITION MONITORING YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Empowering talent Benjamin Festin describes how SP is constantly designing programmes for employees to grow and upskill, while Muhammad Ariff Bin Ramli shares how he feels empowered to assume greater responsibilities in his job role.

The deployment of 2.5MWp of rooftop solar solutions for CJ Vina Agri’s manufacturing plant marks the company’s first large-scale injection of solar power into its energy mix. The rooftop solar solution is expected to be operational by June 2022 and can deliver up to 3,577 Megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity annually. It will effectively provide 20 per cent of electricity consumed by the facility at peak load and will avoid carbon emissions of more than 3,500 tons annually, equivalent to taking approximately 1,100 cars off the road. Mr. Jang Myung Soo, CEO of CJ ONS, said, “We are honoured to partner with SP to support Vietnam’s roadmap towards a cleaner, greener energy mix. SP's sustainable energy solutions will be pivotal in enhancing energy-efficient plant operations for manufacturing facilities across all sectors and scales. We look forward to collaborating with SP to accelerate the renewable energy sector and meet growing demand in the industry by leveraging upon our combined strengths, network, expertise, and experience.” 1 Source: Vietnam targeting carbon emission neutrality by 2050, minister says | Reuters Mr. Brandon Chia, Managing Director, Southeast Asia & Australia, SP Group, said, “This partnership with CJ ONS is a significant milestone that will enhance market access to our range of renewable energy solutions and accelerate the decarbonisation of the industrial and manufacturing sector in Vietnam.
