We own and operate electricity and gas transmission and distribution businesses in Singapore and in Australia, primarily in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Over a million Singapore industrial and domestic customers benefit from SP’s world-class electricity and gas transmission and distribution, and market support services. Singapore has one of the fewest and shortest power outages of cities worldwide as rated by international industry indices. In Australia, SP owns a diversified energy utility company, SPI (Australia) Assets, primarily consisting of the Jemena companies, and 51 per cent of SP AusNet, which is publicly-listed on the Australian and Singapore Stock Exchanges. As one of Singapore’s largest corporations, SP achieved revenue of S$6.6 billion and managed S$30.7 billion of assets in FY 09/10. OVERCOMING CHALLENGES Forging Ahead Amidst the economic downturn, we sustained our capabilities and performance, and delivered all-round excellence. With a keen eye on the future, we develop capacity for tomorrow’s demands. Together, as a group, we seek to capture the opportunities ahead. We are Singapore Power. SP Annual Report 09 FROM THE CHAIRMAN OVERCOMING CHALLENGES Forging Ahead 04 Ng Kee Choe Chairman Amidst a challenging economic backdrop, the SP Group proved to be resilient in every aspect of its business and operations whilst continuing on a growth path to surpass past performance. SP Annual Report 09 Financial Performance SP Group’s net profit for the financial year ended 31 Mar 2010 was S$728 million, excluding exceptional and non-recurring items. This represents an 18 per cent increase over the previous year’s results, largely driven by higher electricity and gas volumes in Singapore. The Group’s return on equity stood at 13.4 per cent, excluding exceptional and non-recurring items. During the financial year, an adjustment charge of S$1.0 billion was recognised due largely to changes in cost of capital and assumptions used in the forecasted cash flows in respect of certain assets. The charge relates mainly to goodwill and has no impact on the Group’s business operations. As a result of this adjustment charge, the reported profit was a negative S$238.2 million. Total assets grew by 17 per cent to S$30.7 billion, partly due to a strengthened Australia dollar. We continue to invest our network to meet growth demand and to replace and renew ageing assets. To this end, S$1.7 billion was invested in our networks. Given the continuing uncertainties in the global financial situation and to further strengthen our capital structure, we increased our equity by S$1.5 billion during the year. And reflecting our financial strength and the sound fundamentals of our underlying business, we successfully refinanced our maturing debts and secured fresh funding for capital expenditures at competitive terms. A total of S$3 billion financing was completed in FY 09/10. Operational Excellence SP PowerGrid recorded its best ever performance in electricity network in FY 09/10. The System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) score of 0.31 minute for the electricity grid was a 55 per cent improvement over the FY 08/09 performance. For the third time in the Group’s history, electricity SAIDI went below a minute, indicating a network reliability of 99.9999 per cent. The System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) score of 0.007 interruption per customer per year was 56 per cent better than the FY 08/09 result of 0.016 interruption per customer per year. Similarly, the SAIFI score for its gas network was 0.0011 interruption per customer per year, a 45 per cent improvement over FY 08/09’s score of 0.0020 interruption per customer per year. SP Services’ efforts in providing customers with hassle-free service were recognised in a global survey. Singapore ranked number one among 26 countries in the ease of setting up utilities accounts. The survey results revealed that 82 per cent of the expatriate community in Singapore found setting up utilities accounts here a fuss-free experience. For its high standard of service and excellence, SP Services was awarded the Service Quality Class (Star) Award. In Australia, SP AusNet became the first Australian electricity distribution business to introduce a fully-automated Distribution Feeder Automation (DFA) scheme in its power system control. The DFA scheme allows the network to respond to momentary faults, as well as transfer supply on the network automatically and remotely within 60 seconds, enabling SP AusNet to deliver more reliable electricity to its customers. The Select Solutions group was established in April 2009 as a non-regulated business unit under SP AusNet. It provides Data Measurement Solutions, Technical Services, Telecommunications and Utility Services to help customers manage their energy, water and environmental requirements. The service provision extends across Australia, New Zealand and Asia, with facilities in New South Wales and Victoria. To address industry challenges more effectively, a group-wide information and communications technology approach was adopted. The IT units of SP Ltd, SP PowerGrid and SP Services were consolidated to form the Infocomm Technology Department (ITD). The move also seeks to better support various functions to achieve business objectives and capture synergies for the SP Group. Major Developments and Projects A key focus was preparing the Group to overcome anticipated challenges and seize opportunities in the energy and utilities landscape where energy conservation and smart grid technologies will be important drivers. In line with this direction was the management’s priority to put in place human resource and training initiatives towards building the workforce capacity and core competencies to enable SP to meet the requirements of tomorrow’s operations and business. During the year, SP became an active partner in Energy Market Authority (EMA)-led projects, to facilitate and introduce new technologies to the Singapore market. These included the Intelligent Energy System (IES) pilot project to test and evaluate new applications and technologies around a Smart Grid. 05 SP Annual Report 09 FROM THE CHAIRMAN In Australia, under the Advanced Meter Infrastructure initiative, smart meters are being installed for all residential and small business customers connected to the electricity distribution network, as mandated by the Victorian Government. SP AusNet and Jemena commenced the rollout of the meters in late 2009 and completion is currently scheduled for 2013. SP also contributed nearly S$130,000 towards some other 20 charities and community groups. Our dedication and contributions were recognised in the form of the SHARE Corporate Gold Award and 2008 Special Events Platinum Award, conferred by the Community Chest of Singapore. 06 Growing Human Capital Human capital development continues to be a key activity for the Group. Our efforts in this regard were recognised; SP has been recertified as a ‘People Developer’ by SPRING Singapore. A number of initiatives have been put in place to build capacity and develop people. Among these were an enhanced Engineering and Technical Career Track to advance the professional development of engineering staff, and our partnership with the Union of Power and Gas Employees (UPAGE), Workforce Development Agency of Singapore (WDA), Employment & Employability Institute (e2i) and major industry players towards the rollout of Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) training for the Energy Utilities Industry. SP’s strong partnership with UPAGE underpinned a collaboration that helped the company weather a volatile and uncertain year. In recognition of the joint effort between SP management and UPAGE to help employees ride out the tough times together through re-skilling and upgrading, SP was conferred the May Day Model Partnership Award 2009 by the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC). In Australia, SP AusNet and Jemena remained committed to attracting, recruiting, developing and retaining high performing professionals to strengthen their respective talent pool. Jemena introduced the Graduate Development Program which is designed to equip competent professionals with a thorough understanding of Jemena and a broad range of relevant skills and experiences to excel in their careers. SP AusNet continued to keep its sights on building a strong employee engagement culture by implementing a framework which enhances employee engagement on a ‘Say, Stay and Strive’ methodology. Caring for the Community SP reaffirmed its commitment to aiding the needy elderly through our continued support for the Singapore Community Chest through the SP Heartware Fund. In FY 09/10, thanks to the support of our corporate partners, members of the public and staff, S$707,000 was raised for the Home Help Service, enabling over 1,000 needy elderly to their golden years in their own homes and within their communities with grace and dignity. Appreciation I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their guidance, support and invaluable advice which helped to steer the company through a difficult year. I also wish to extend my appreciation to Mr Paul Chan who retired from the Board at the SP Annual General Meeting in July 2010. SP has benefited much from Mr Chan’s past contributions in the SP Board and Board Risk Management Committee. I am also pleased to welcome Mrs Oon Kum Loon and Mr Ng Yat Chung who joined the Board on 1 April 2010. To the Executive Committee and members of UPAGE, as well as the Unions representing our employees in Australia, I thank them for fostering the close relationship that we enjoy and for their support through the difficult economic conditions. For their dedication and commitment in overcoming the challenges in a recession year, I thank the management and staff of SP in Singapore and Australia. Not least, my sincere appreciation goes to our business partners and customers for their continued support and patronage. Forging Ahead Through prudent financial management, keen business focus, and a committed and competent workforce led by able management, the SP Group has emerged stronger from the recent economic turmoil. With the support of our stakeholders, we will continue to build resilience to face new challenges while creating the capability to exploit future opportunities. We are on track to delivering greater value and in moving towards our vision of being a leading energy infrastructure company in the Asia Pacific.

The upturn is, however, uneven with Asian economies finding a firmer footing than the US and EU economies. The SP Group’s strategic focus on transmission and distribution segments of electricity and gas industries has stood us in good stead, providing us with defensive, stable and predictable revenues and earnings even during a volatile period. Despite the economic slowdown, we continued to strengthen our core capabilities and expertise in operations by continuing to invest in the development of our people and technical competencies. These serve to strengthen our business and better engage our customers. The strength of SP stems from four key pillars, namely Investment Strategy Financing Strategy and Capital Management Operational Excellence Human Capital 10 Investment Strategy SP continuously seeks to improve returns and deliver sustainable, long term value to our stakeholders by optimising its capital structure, enhancing the regulatory framework, streamlining operations and improving business efficiencies. Australia remains the focus of SP’s overseas strategic investments. The earning contribution from Australia was 33 per cent in FY 09/10 and was primarily driven by the regulated network businesses. The past year also saw the completion of three major regulatory revenue applications, namely the Electricity Distribution Price Review for the Jemena Electricity Network and SP AusNet Electricity Network in Victoria, and the Gas Access Arrangement Review for the Jemena Gas Network in New South Wales. During the year in review, we reinforced our Australian portfolio through a further injection of capital into Jemena. SP Annual Report 09 The optimised capital structure would enable Jemena to focus on building a long term sustainable business, growing in tandem with the Australian economy and expansion of the energy infrastructure sector. In seeking to enhance shareholder value, SP looks within to realise synergies among our units. Enterprise Business Services (Australia) Pty Ltd, established in October 2008, represents a major step forward in creating efficiencies and economy in IT operations for the Australian entities in the SP Group. Further progress is being made as the Singapore and Australian entities explore more opportunities for shared services within the Group. At the same time, in Singapore as well as in Australia, SP seeks to assimilate emerging technologies with the promise of efficiency gains or revenue potential in both the regulated and unregulated sectors. One such example is the rollout of state-of-the-art Advanced Metering Infrastructure by SP AusNet and Jemena in Victoria. The expertise and experience gained from implementing this programme will put SP in good stead as the development of Smart Grid technology gathers momentum in Singapore and Asia. Financing Strategy and Capital Management Despite a challenging financing environment with constrained lending capacity, particularly in the first half of 2009, SP managed to successfully refinance our maturing debts and fund our capital expenditure at competitive rates. The following financial transactions were completed during the year: • SP PowerAssets Limited (SPPA) issued S$875 million of bonds through a series of private bond placements. These issuances comprised notes with maturities ranging from 3.5 to 20 years in three different currencies, and were issued under SPPA’s Global Medium Term Note Programme. • SP AusNet raised A$325 million of credit facilities in April 2009 and issued an equivalent of A$920 million of bonds through a combination of CHF, HKD and AUD issues in February and March 2010. • SPI (Australia) Asset Pty Ltd secured a total of A$370 million in bank debt facilities in June 2009. The favourable response to SP’s financing initiatives reflects the strength of our underlying business fundamentals and the market’s recognition of our prudent and disciplined debt strategy. The Group is committed to an optimal capital structure and to maintaining our strong credit ratings. SP is rated AA- by Standard & Poor’s and Aa3 by Moody’s Investors Service. Operational Excellence SPPA’s electricity network in Singapore is rated one of the world’s best in international benchmarking. In Singapore, our electricity network achieved its best ever network reliability performance, where a customer experienced an average of 0.31 minute of unplanned electricity interruptions during the year. Similarly, the average number of unplanned gas supply interruptions experienced in the year was only 0.0011 interruption per customer, which is equivalent to one unplanned gas interruption every 909 years. These stellar network performances were a result of SP’s quality management of the network in delivering a highly reliable and quality supply. In Australia, collaboration between SP AusNet and Jemena has yielded operational efficiencies for both. Operational agreements concluded between SP AusNet and Jemena in 2009 have resulted in SP AusNet providing services in which it has a natural competitive advantage to Jemena, and vice versa, thus achieving cost savings for mutual benefit. Building Human Capital SP’s sustained competitive advantage resides in our competent and committed workforce. At the end of FY 09/10, SP Group had a total workforce of 6,866 employees in Singapore and Australia. The development and nurturing of our people is given priority even in an economic downturn. In FY 09/10, employee training exceeded what we had targeted. Remaining firmly committed to enabling our people to realise their full potential and advance in their careers, SP provided opportunities for higher education, on-the-job training, involvement in special projects, overseas postings, job rotations and mentorship programmes. SP’s approach to building human capital recognises the need to maintain a balanced workforce in terms of experience and youth. To help older employees remain relevant, we support them in their pursuit of lifelong learning. We also recognise the importance of more experienced staff sharing and passing on their knowledge to their younger colleagues. To renew our talent pool, we actively reach out to fresh prospects at scholarship fairs, career fairs and through internships, and nurture and develop them. 11 SP Annual Report 09 BOARD OF DIRECTORS 12 From left: Mr Alan Chan Heng Loon, Mr Ng Kee Choe and Prof Jeremy Guy Ashcroft Davis AM SP Annual Report 09 Mr Ng Kee Choe Mr Ng Kee Choe, 66, is the non-executive Chairman of Singapore Power Limited.

We own and operate electricity and gas transmission and distribution businesses in Singapore and in Australia, primarily in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Over a million Singapore industrial and domestic customers benefit from SP’s world-class electricity and gas transmission and distribution, and market support services. Singapore has one of the fewest and shortest power outages of cities worldwide as rated by international industry indices. In Australia, SP owns a diversified energy utility company, SPI (Australia) Assets, primarily consisting of the Jemena companies, and 51 per cent of SP AusNet, which is publicly-listed on the Australian and Singapore Stock Exchanges. As one of Singapore’s largest corporations, SP achieved revenue of S$6.6 billion and managed S$30.7 billion of assets in FY 09/10. OVERCOMING CHALLENGES Forging Ahead Amidst the economic downturn, we sustained our capabilities and performance, and delivered all-round excellence. With a keen eye on the future, we develop capacity for tomorrow’s demands. Together, as a group, we seek to capture the opportunities ahead. We are Singapore Power. SP Annual Report 09 FROM THE CHAIRMAN OVERCOMING CHALLENGES Forging Ahead 04 Ng Kee Choe Chairman Amidst a challenging economic backdrop, the SP Group proved to be resilient in every aspect of its business and operations whilst continuing on a growth path to surpass past performance. SP Annual Report 09 Financial Performance SP Group’s net profit for the financial year ended 31 Mar 2010 was S$728 million, excluding exceptional and non-recurring items. This represents an 18 per cent increase over the previous year’s results, largely driven by higher electricity and gas volumes in Singapore. The Group’s return on equity stood at 13.4 per cent, excluding exceptional and non-recurring items. During the financial year, an adjustment charge of S$1.0 billion was recognised due largely to changes in cost of capital and assumptions used in the forecasted cash flows in respect of certain assets. The charge relates mainly to goodwill and has no impact on the Group’s business operations. As a result of this adjustment charge, the reported profit was a negative S$238.2 million. Total assets grew by 17 per cent to S$30.7 billion, partly due to a strengthened Australia dollar. We continue to invest our network to meet growth demand and to replace and renew ageing assets. To this end, S$1.7 billion was invested in our networks. Given the continuing uncertainties in the global financial situation and to further strengthen our capital structure, we increased our equity by S$1.5 billion during the year. And reflecting our financial strength and the sound fundamentals of our underlying business, we successfully refinanced our maturing debts and secured fresh funding for capital expenditures at competitive terms. A total of S$3 billion financing was completed in FY 09/10. Operational Excellence SP PowerGrid recorded its best ever performance in electricity network in FY 09/10. The System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) score of 0.31 minute for the electricity grid was a 55 per cent improvement over the FY 08/09 performance. For the third time in the Group’s history, electricity SAIDI went below a minute, indicating a network reliability of 99.9999 per cent. The System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) score of 0.007 interruption per customer per year was 56 per cent better than the FY 08/09 result of 0.016 interruption per customer per year. Similarly, the SAIFI score for its gas network was 0.0011 interruption per customer per year, a 45 per cent improvement over FY 08/09’s score of 0.0020 interruption per customer per year. SP Services’ efforts in providing customers with hassle-free service were recognised in a global survey. Singapore ranked number one among 26 countries in the ease of setting up utilities accounts. The survey results revealed that 82 per cent of the expatriate community in Singapore found setting up utilities accounts here a fuss-free experience. For its high standard of service and excellence, SP Services was awarded the Service Quality Class (Star) Award. In Australia, SP AusNet became the first Australian electricity distribution business to introduce a fully-automated Distribution Feeder Automation (DFA) scheme in its power system control. The DFA scheme allows the network to respond to momentary faults, as well as transfer supply on the network automatically and remotely within 60 seconds, enabling SP AusNet to deliver more reliable electricity to its customers. The Select Solutions group was established in April 2009 as a non-regulated business unit under SP AusNet. It provides Data Measurement Solutions, Technical Services, Telecommunications and Utility Services to help customers manage their energy, water and environmental requirements. The service provision extends across Australia, New Zealand and Asia, with facilities in New South Wales and Victoria. To address industry challenges more effectively, a group-wide information and communications technology approach was adopted. The IT units of SP Ltd, SP PowerGrid and SP Services were consolidated to form the Infocomm Technology Department (ITD). The move also seeks to better support various functions to achieve business objectives and capture synergies for the SP Group. Major Developments and Projects A key focus was preparing the Group to overcome anticipated challenges and seize opportunities in the energy and utilities landscape where energy conservation and smart grid technologies will be important drivers. In line with this direction was the management’s priority to put in place human resource and training initiatives towards building the workforce capacity and core competencies to enable SP to meet the requirements of tomorrow’s operations and business. During the year, SP became an active partner in Energy Market Authority (EMA)-led projects, to facilitate and introduce new technologies to the Singapore market. These included the Intelligent Energy System (IES) pilot project to test and evaluate new applications and technologies around a Smart Grid. 05 SP Annual Report 09 FROM THE CHAIRMAN In Australia, under the Advanced Meter Infrastructure initiative, smart meters are being installed for all residential and small business customers connected to the electricity distribution network, as mandated by the Victorian Government. SP AusNet and Jemena commenced the rollout of the meters in late 2009 and completion is currently scheduled for 2013. SP also contributed nearly S$130,000 towards some other 20 charities and community groups. Our dedication and contributions were recognised in the form of the SHARE Corporate Gold Award and 2008 Special Events Platinum Award, conferred by the Community Chest of Singapore. 06 Growing Human Capital Human capital development continues to be a key activity for the Group. Our efforts in this regard were recognised; SP has been recertified as a ‘People Developer’ by SPRING Singapore. A number of initiatives have been put in place to build capacity and develop people. Among these were an enhanced Engineering and Technical Career Track to advance the professional development of engineering staff, and our partnership with the Union of Power and Gas Employees (UPAGE), Workforce Development Agency of Singapore (WDA), Employment & Employability Institute (e2i) and major industry players towards the rollout of Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) training for the Energy Utilities Industry. SP’s strong partnership with UPAGE underpinned a collaboration that helped the company weather a volatile and uncertain year. In recognition of the joint effort between SP management and UPAGE to help employees ride out the tough times together through re-skilling and upgrading, SP was conferred the May Day Model Partnership Award 2009 by the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC). In Australia, SP AusNet and Jemena remained committed to attracting, recruiting, developing and retaining high performing professionals to strengthen their respective talent pool. Jemena introduced the Graduate Development Program which is designed to equip competent professionals with a thorough understanding of Jemena and a broad range of relevant skills and experiences to excel in their careers. SP AusNet continued to keep its sights on building a strong employee engagement culture by implementing a framework which enhances employee engagement on a ‘Say, Stay and Strive’ methodology. Caring for the Community SP reaffirmed its commitment to aiding the needy elderly through our continued support for the Singapore Community Chest through the SP Heartware Fund. In FY 09/10, thanks to the support of our corporate partners, members of the public and staff, S$707,000 was raised for the Home Help Service, enabling over 1,000 needy elderly to their golden years in their own homes and within their communities with grace and dignity. Appreciation I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their guidance, support and invaluable advice which helped to steer the company through a difficult year. I also wish to extend my appreciation to Mr Paul Chan who retired from the Board at the SP Annual General Meeting in July 2010. SP has benefited much from Mr Chan’s past contributions in the SP Board and Board Risk Management Committee. I am also pleased to welcome Mrs Oon Kum Loon and Mr Ng Yat Chung who joined the Board on 1 April 2010. To the Executive Committee and members of UPAGE, as well as the Unions representing our employees in Australia, I thank them for fostering the close relationship that we enjoy and for their support through the difficult economic conditions. For their dedication and commitment in overcoming the challenges in a recession year, I thank the management and staff of SP in Singapore and Australia. Not least, my sincere appreciation goes to our business partners and customers for their continued support and patronage. Forging Ahead Through prudent financial management, keen business focus, and a committed and competent workforce led by able management, the SP Group has emerged stronger from the recent economic turmoil. With the support of our stakeholders, we will continue to build resilience to face new challenges while creating the capability to exploit future opportunities. We are on track to delivering greater value and in moving towards our vision of being a leading energy infrastructure company in the Asia Pacific.

The upturn is, however, uneven with Asian economies finding a firmer footing than the US and EU economies. The SP Group’s strategic focus on transmission and distribution segments of electricity and gas industries has stood us in good stead, providing us with defensive, stable and predictable revenues and earnings even during a volatile period. Despite the economic slowdown, we continued to strengthen our core capabilities and expertise in operations by continuing to invest in the development of our people and technical competencies. These serve to strengthen our business and better engage our customers. The strength of SP stems from four key pillars, namely Investment Strategy Financing Strategy and Capital Management Operational Excellence Human Capital 10 Investment Strategy SP continuously seeks to improve returns and deliver sustainable, long term value to our stakeholders by optimising its capital structure, enhancing the regulatory framework, streamlining operations and improving business efficiencies. Australia remains the focus of SP’s overseas strategic investments. The earning contribution from Australia was 33 per cent in FY 09/10 and was primarily driven by the regulated network businesses. The past year also saw the completion of three major regulatory revenue applications, namely the Electricity Distribution Price Review for the Jemena Electricity Network and SP AusNet Electricity Network in Victoria, and the Gas Access Arrangement Review for the Jemena Gas Network in New South Wales. During the year in review, we reinforced our Australian portfolio through a further injection of capital into Jemena. SP Annual Report 09 The optimised capital structure would enable Jemena to focus on building a long term sustainable business, growing in tandem with the Australian economy and expansion of the energy infrastructure sector. In seeking to enhance shareholder value, SP looks within to realise synergies among our units. Enterprise Business Services (Australia) Pty Ltd, established in October 2008, represents a major step forward in creating efficiencies and economy in IT operations for the Australian entities in the SP Group. Further progress is being made as the Singapore and Australian entities explore more opportunities for shared services within the Group. At the same time, in Singapore as well as in Australia, SP seeks to assimilate emerging technologies with the promise of efficiency gains or revenue potential in both the regulated and unregulated sectors. One such example is the rollout of state-of-the-art Advanced Metering Infrastructure by SP AusNet and Jemena in Victoria. The expertise and experience gained from implementing this programme will put SP in good stead as the development of Smart Grid technology gathers momentum in Singapore and Asia. Financing Strategy and Capital Management Despite a challenging financing environment with constrained lending capacity, particularly in the first half of 2009, SP managed to successfully refinance our maturing debts and fund our capital expenditure at competitive rates. The following financial transactions were completed during the year: • SP PowerAssets Limited (SPPA) issued S$875 million of bonds through a series of private bond placements. These issuances comprised notes with maturities ranging from 3.5 to 20 years in three different currencies, and were issued under SPPA’s Global Medium Term Note Programme. • SP AusNet raised A$325 million of credit facilities in April 2009 and issued an equivalent of A$920 million of bonds through a combination of CHF, HKD and AUD issues in February and March 2010. • SPI (Australia) Asset Pty Ltd secured a total of A$370 million in bank debt facilities in June 2009. The favourable response to SP’s financing initiatives reflects the strength of our underlying business fundamentals and the market’s recognition of our prudent and disciplined debt strategy. The Group is committed to an optimal capital structure and to maintaining our strong credit ratings. SP is rated AA- by Standard & Poor’s and Aa3 by Moody’s Investors Service. Operational Excellence SPPA’s electricity network in Singapore is rated one of the world’s best in international benchmarking. In Singapore, our electricity network achieved its best ever network reliability performance, where a customer experienced an average of 0.31 minute of unplanned electricity interruptions during the year. Similarly, the average number of unplanned gas supply interruptions experienced in the year was only 0.0011 interruption per customer, which is equivalent to one unplanned gas interruption every 909 years. These stellar network performances were a result of SP’s quality management of the network in delivering a highly reliable and quality supply. In Australia, collaboration between SP AusNet and Jemena has yielded operational efficiencies for both. Operational agreements concluded between SP AusNet and Jemena in 2009 have resulted in SP AusNet providing services in which it has a natural competitive advantage to Jemena, and vice versa, thus achieving cost savings for mutual benefit. Building Human Capital SP’s sustained competitive advantage resides in our competent and committed workforce. At the end of FY 09/10, SP Group had a total workforce of 6,866 employees in Singapore and Australia. The development and nurturing of our people is given priority even in an economic downturn. In FY 09/10, employee training exceeded what we had targeted. Remaining firmly committed to enabling our people to realise their full potential and advance in their careers, SP provided opportunities for higher education, on-the-job training, involvement in special projects, overseas postings, job rotations and mentorship programmes. SP’s approach to building human capital recognises the need to maintain a balanced workforce in terms of experience and youth. To help older employees remain relevant, we support them in their pursuit of lifelong learning. We also recognise the importance of more experienced staff sharing and passing on their knowledge to their younger colleagues. To renew our talent pool, we actively reach out to fresh prospects at scholarship fairs, career fairs and through internships, and nurture and develop them. 11 SP Annual Report 09 BOARD OF DIRECTORS 12 From left: Mr Alan Chan Heng Loon, Mr Ng Kee Choe and Prof Jeremy Guy Ashcroft Davis AM SP Annual Report 09 Mr Ng Kee Choe Mr Ng Kee Choe, 66, is the non-executive Chairman of Singapore Power Limited.

Network Performance – Electricity The network performance in FY 09/10 was well within regulatory targets and a significant improvement over FY 08/09’s performance. This improvement was largely attributed to SP PowerGrid’s success in averting potential failures through diligent condition monitoring and condition-based maintenance of the network. For FY 09/10, the Network Performance Indicators – System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) and System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) were 0.31 minute and 0.007 interruption per customer respectively. These results were all-time best and were 55 per cent and 56 per cent better than FY 08/09’s SAIDI and SAIFI respectively. Network Performance – Gas SP PowerGrid has embarked on the following smart grid initiatives: • Enhancing existing intelligent systems SP PowerGrid is building upon existing systems to extend its Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system (SCADA) monitoring to 6.6kV substations and enhance its successful online partial discharge monitoring system to cover more substations. • Leveraging smart grid initiatives by Energy Market Authority (EMA) SP PowerGrid is participating in the project management of the Intelligent Energy System (IES) pilot project spearheaded by EMA. The project seeks to test and evaluate new applications and technologies in a smart grid. Through its involvement in the IES, SP PowerGrid seeks to gain in-depth knowledge, experience and insights into smart grid solutions. • Collaborating with research institutes SP PowerGrid is also working with relevant research institutes such as A*STAR to develop other smart grid solutions to enhance its technical know-how. Gas network performance for FY 09/10 was well within regulatory targets. Gas SAIDI and SAIFI scores were 0.142 minute and 0.0011 interruption respectively. These were 13.6 per cent higher and 45 per cent lower than FY 08/09’s SAIDI and SAIFI respectively. 33 SAIDI measures the average duration of unplanned electricity or gas interruptions a consumer experiences in a year and SAIFI, the average number of such interruptions. Smart Grid Developments The growing concern over energy efficiency coupled with advancements in telecommunication technology has propelled the smart grid into the limelight. The smart grid offers new potential for the optimisation of grid performance and forms the focus for the development of the future power grid. SP PowerGrid officers carry out an OWTS test in a substation. SP Annual Report 09 OPERATIONS REVIEW Condition Monitoring for Better Performance SP PowerGrid successfully carried out Oscillating Wave Testing System (OWTS) test for the condition monitoring of 230kV cables. This was the world’s first OWTS test at 230kV voltage level. For distribution cables, OWTS has successfully averted 107 potential failures. In FY 09/10, OWTS tests were conducted on a total of 832 230kV, 66kV, 22kV and 6.6kV circuits. SP PowerGrid continued to expand its online partial discharge monitoring system for 230kV and 66kV substations. During the year, two 230kV and four 66kV substations were retrofitted with online condition monitoring systems. In FY 09/10, a total of 55 potential failures were averted through concerted efforts in condition monitoring, contributing to improved network performance. SP PowerGrid is also working on a pilot project to monitor the water level in gas syphons located in flood-prone areas. The wireless remote monitoring of water levels in syphons enables timely intervention to prevent choking in gas pipes, which can cause gas supply disruption. A trial project will be carried out in FY 10/11. Customer Management Programme SP PowerGrid continued to engage key customers under its Customer Management Programme whereby engineers double-up as customer managers to serve them as a single point of contact. In addition, SP PowerGrid has been in close interaction with the high-tech industries on power quality through the workings of the five Power Quality Interest Groups (PQIGs) for the semiconductor, pharmaceutical, petrochemical and banking sectors and essential services. Formation of New Operational Units FY 09/10 saw the formation of a Cable Jointing Unit (CJU) and a Mass Rapid Transit Diversion Unit (MRTU) within SP PowerGrid. The CJU was formed to retain the strategic capability of cable jointing and to strengthen quality management in jointing work. The CJU manages all jointing work and training, thereby ensuring consistency in jointing practices and joint quality. The unit also audits jointers’ competency and conducts investigations of joint failures. 34 SP PowerGrid’s power quality specialists conducting voltage fluctuation tests. SP POWERGRID SP Annual Report 09 A Cable Jointing Apprenticeship Scheme was introduced to attract and train young technicians as jointers. Under the scheme, trainees undergo a one-year cable jointing course in order to qualify as junior cable jointers. They are then assigned to carry out low voltage jointing work before progressing to on-the-job training for high voltage jointing. The MRTU was formed to coordinate and manage the extensive diversion of cables and gas pipes affected by the construction of the MRT Downtown Lines. A total of 200 km of cables and pipes are expected to be diverted in the next five years. The MRTU provides a one-stop service on electricity and gas matters relating to the Downtown Lines construction, working closely with the Land Transport Authority and its contractors to minimise the extent of diversion and prevent damage to services during the construction of MRT lines. Cable and Gas Pipe Damage Prevention Programme With the integration of electricity and gas operations in SP PowerGrid, cable and gas pipe damage prevention efforts were streamlined under the Earthworks Monitoring and Cable Protection (EMCP) Section, which oversees the surveillance of transmission cables and natural gas pipelines. In FY 09/10, Cable Protection Management Teams (CPMT) comprising management staff from SP PowerGrid and government agencies took a leading role in cable damage prevention at construction sites. Regular meetings were held with the government agencies involved and their contractors to safeguard underground services at construction sites. A total of 55 sites were monitored by the CPMT. Wireless Remote Monitoring and Control of 6.6kV Network To further improve its network performance, SP PowerGrid introduced the use of wireless technology for the remote control and monitoring of its 6.6kV network, starting in public housing estates. In FY 09/10, wireless remote monitoring and control capabilities were installed in 340 substations. SP PowerGrid targets to equip another 530 substations in FY 10/11. Inline Inspection of Gas Transmission Pipelines SP PowerGrid completed the inline inspection of three gas transmission pipelines – from Attap Valley to Admiralty, Sakra to Mandai and Sakra to Tembusu – using the Magnetic Flux Leakage technology to check the internal pipelines for signs of corrosion, coating defects or metal loss. During the year, an inline inspection of the submarine pipeline linking Plentong in Johor to the Onshore Receiving Facility in Singapore was jointly carried out by SP PowerGrid and Petronas, Malaysia’s gas transporter. All the pipelines inspected were found to be in good condition. Transmission cables along worksites are patrolled daily to prevent cable damage. 35 SP Annual Report 09 OPERATIONS REVIEW ISO Certification SP PowerGrid first obtained its ISO 9001:2000 certifications in 2002. In FY 09/10, it received the ISO 9001:2008 certification for the development and management of its transmission and distribution networks, distribution control and customer services as well as for its gas operations covering network management and system operations. These certifications affirm SP PowerGrid’s institutionalised quality processes that drive consistently high performance standards. Electricity Demand The volume of electricity transmitted and distributed in FY 09/10 grew by 4.8 per cent over the previous financial year to 39,259 GWh. The increase in electricity consumption reflects the recovery in the domestic economy from the second half of 2009 as manufacturing activity grew. Demand for electricity from both manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors was higher compared to a year ago. 36 A team from the newly-formed Cable Jointing Unit carries out maintenance work on cable oil equipment.

SP Annual Report 09 SP SERVICES A One-Stop Shop for Electricity, Water and Piped Gas Supplies SP Services provides every household and business in Singapore with a convenient and efficient one-stop service for electricity, water and piped gas supplies. As the Market Support Services Licensee, SP Services provides metering and billing services to the electricity market. It also facilitates competition in the retail market by enabling consumers to switch seamlessly between retailers and to buy electricity at wholesale market prices. For the convenience of customers, SP Services also provides metering, billing and payment collection, and customer service on behalf of other utility service providers, including PUB for water charges, City Gas for gas charges, and various refuse collection companies for refuse removal fees. In the year under review, SP Services continued to re-engineer operations and business processes aimed at increasing productivity and improving its services and operations to keep pace with the rising expectations and needs of customers. Tapping Technology to Enhance Services With modern technology changing the way people go about their daily lives, SP Services explored ways to improve its customer service, combining the use of technology with service innovation to cater to the needs of today’s IT-savvy customers. Through the Wireless Work Force Management System (WWMS), SP Services implemented the Work-From-Home Scheme for its field operations staff. Under the scheme, technicians receive their daily job orders for supply turn-on and cut-off through their Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), which are connected to WWMS via GPRS at home. The Work-From-Home Scheme has also been extended to SP Services’ customer service staff. Staff at the Integrated Call Centre (ICC) can now attend to calls from their homes, accessing the same IT systems to process transactions for customer service accounts remotely. This enables the ICC to extend its operation hours beyond office hours, providing more accessibility to customers. SP Services implemented the Work-From-Home scheme for its field operations staff through the Wireless Workforce Management System. The implementation of the scheme led to an improvement in employee productivity by an average of 10 per cent. The higher productivity has resulted in cost savings while benefiting employees in terms of reduced travelling time and the flexibility of working from home. Currently, 51 field staff and another 17 customer service staff are under the Work-from-Home Scheme. The scheme has resulted in customer service being enhanced with extended service hours and shorter waiting time. Tapping on the widespread use of SMS messaging, SP Services has added SMS technologies as another avenue to reach customers. A residential customer may request for utility supplies turn-on via SMS and the date and time of the appointment would in turn be confirmed via SMS. The year also saw the successful completion of the pilot project for the SMS payment reminder service which would be extended to all customers. Delivering Service Excellence Demonstrating its strong commitment towards service excellence, SP Services achieved certification in SPRING Singapore’s Singapore Quality Class (SQC) and the Singapore Service Class (S Class), and the re-certification of the People Developer Standard (PDS). For demonstrating a high standard of service excellence in the SQC assessment, SP Services was conferred the SQC (Star) Award. The award recognises SP Services’ use of technology to achieve operational efficiency as well as the effective deployment of customer service strategies to achieve customer satisfaction. 39 SP Annual Report 09 OPERATIONS REVIEW 40 During the year, SP Services also retained its ISO 9001 certification for Quality Management System. Key business areas covered top management responsibilities, system maintenance, improvement processes, staff training and operations. Well-established quality control and processes and confident staff who demonstrated good knowledge of work procedures were but some of the key findings leading to SP Services retaining its ISO certification. SP Services’ efforts in providing a hassle-free service experience were well regarded by the expatriate community in Singapore. In a global survey of over 3,000 expatriates in over 50 countries about their quality of life and experience assimilating into a new culture away from home, Singapore topped the league table of 26 countries when it came to ease of setting up utilities accounts and supply. An overwhelming 82 per cent of expatriates here found it a hassle-free experience. Pursuing Service Excellence In FY 09/10, SP Services’ Customer Service Centre was relocated within the Woodlands Civic Centre. The new location saw the introduction of self-help kiosks where customers can access an array of utilities account services, including meter reading submission, updating mailing addresses, and application/termination of GIRO. Co-located with the SP Services’ Customer Service Centre at Somerset Road is the City Gas Gallery. This is a result of SP Services’ efforts to establish a win-win business proposition together with its utility service partner. This convenient onestop service hub now allows piped gas customers to arrange for turn-on or cut-off appointments, purchase gas appliances and arrange electricity and water supplies all at one location. Customers can access an array of utilities account services through the self-help kiosks at SP Services’ Customer Service Centre in Woodlands Civic Centre. SP Services also made the payment of utility bills even more convenient by expanding its payment channels to include iNets. Customers can now pay their utility bills via iNets Mobile using Nets Cheque, or at any of the iNets kiosks conveniently located island-wide at any time using NETS, NETS CashCard or NETS Flashpay. Broader Scope of Services As part of its efforts to promote the use of GIRO facilities, SP Services conducted a GIRO promotion for all existing and new GIRO/POSB Everyday Card customers from February to end May 2009 during which GIRO participation increased by more than 20 per cent, in comparison with previous months. The year under review also saw SP Services participate in the Energy Market Authority’s (EMA) Electricity Vending System (EVS) pilot project trial run. Initiated by EMA, the EVS tested the concept of an efficient retailing scheme to small consumers incorporating smart meter technologies and e-payment system. The project trial runs involving household volunteers at selected areas of Marine Parade and West Coast Group Representation Constituency were completed in November 2009. SP Services is also participating in an Intelligent Energy System (IES) pilot project launched by EMA in November 2009. The pilot project is aimed at testing and evaluating new applications and technologies around a smart grid to enable the rolling out of more innovative solutions for Singapore’s power system. During the year, SP Services, together with SP Global Solutions, provided consultancy and training services to utility companies in the region, including China and India. In the year ahead, SP Services will continue to provide advisory services to companies looking to improve their customer service management. As part of its continuing drive to improve performance, SP Services has embarked on a project to upgrade its Market Support Services Licensee (MSSL) System with the aim of expanding current system capabilities to enhance customer service and operational effectiveness. Rising to the Challenge In the years ahead, SP Services will, in its relentless pursuit of operational and service excellence, seek to leverage technology and draw the best from its people, complementing innovations in systems and processes while managing rising business costs.

OPERATIONS REVIEW New Control Room coordinates and controls the chilled water production and its distribution to customers intake stations. 44 SINGAPORE DISTRICT COOLING Partner in Energy Efficiency Singapore District Cooling (SDC) achieved positive NPAT of S$0.7 million for FY 09/10. Its revenue and EBITDA for the year rose to S$13.3 million and S$5.2 million respectively. SP Annual Report 09 Operations The aggregate supply capacity requirement declared by customers increased from 17.4 MWr in March 2009 to 68.7 MWr in March 2010. The increase was due primarily to the commencement of supplies to the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) in October 2009. FY 09/10’s Supply Availability Index (measured in terms of the ability to maintain supply temperature within specifications) was 99.99 per cent against the regulatory standard of 99.50 per cent. Business Development SDC completed its scope of work for commencement of supplies to MBS in August 2009, two months ahead of the actual turn-on to the first intake in the development in October 2009. In addition to chilled water, as a business enhancement, SDC also commenced the provision of hot water supplies to MBS under a separate heat supply agreement. Phase 1 of the Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) also started receiving chilled water supplies from 1 April 2010. Another development, Asia Square, will require chilled water supplies from 2011. The technical scheme for the development was finalised during the year. SDC made significant progress in extending its services to premises outside the mandated zone. Keppel Land has signed the agreement for supplementary/back-up supplies for its Ocean Financial Centre to commence in January 2011. NParks has also committed to subscribing for the district cooling service to supplement its in-fence chiller plant for the Gardens by the Bay commencing in June 2011. Going Forward Demand for district cooling is expected to expand robustly in the next few years with the progressive completion of new developments in the new downtown. SDC’s primary focus in near term will be the continued building up of the district cooling system at Marina Bay Business District to serve developments in the mandated zone. For system operations, SDC will continue to ensure a high service level to its customers in an effort to build strong market credentials for the new utility service. SDC will continue its capability building for production optimisation. The operation of two district cooling plants as a coordinated system will create new opportunities for optimising production scheduling for lower production costs. SDC’s vision is to grow district cooling as an essential utility service in commercial districts in Singapore. It will continue its marketing effort to extend its service to existing buildings outside the mandated zone and work with government agencies for replicating the district cooling system in new business districts.

SP AusNet’s infrastructure delivers energy to more than one million customers across Victoria, with approximately 87 per cent of revenue coming from the operation of these regulated assets. Following the establishment last year of Select Solutions, a consolidated commercial arm focused on emerging technologies and solutions, SP AusNet continued to build on and expand its non-regulated service-based businesses. The multi-million dollar Hazelwood Terminal Station 500kV circuit breaker and current transformer replacement project will replace infrastructure at this key terminal station, which is on the 500kV transmission backbone between the Latrobe Valley and Melbourne. Most of the power generated in the Latrobe Valley is transmitted via Hazelwood Terminal Station to the load centre in Melbourne. Electricity Transmission The Victorian transmission network, owned and operated by SP AusNet, consists of more than 6,500 km of transmission lines carrying electricity from power stations to electricity distributors and large customers around Victoria. The network is centrally located among Australia’s five eastern states that form the National Energy Market, providing key connections between South Australia, New South Wales and Tasmania’s electricity transmission networks. In FY 09/10, the electricity transmission network contributed A$531.3 million in regulated revenue to SP AusNet’s financial performance. SP AusNet invested A$162.5 million to improve network performance on the transmission system during the year. 49 Upgrades and Extensions As part of ongoing efforts to upgrade and augment the electricity transmission network to meet demand, SP AusNet successfully completed a A$9 million project at the Cranbourne Terminal Station. More than 110,000 Victorians benefited from the upgrade. In November 2009, SP AusNet connected the Bogong Hydro Power Station to its electricity transmission network which, as part of the larger Kiewa hydroelectric scheme, creates an additional 94,000 MWh of renewable electricity each year. SP AusNet’s electricity transmission network delivers power to regional Victoria as well as Melbourne’s CBD. SP Annual Report 09 OPERATIONS REVIEW Electricity Distribution The 47,000 km electricity distribution network carries electricity from SP AusNet’s transmission network to substations for distribution to approximately 620,000 connected electricity customers in outer eastern metropolitan Melbourne and eastern Victoria across an area of approximately 80,000 square kilometres. In FY 09/10, the electricity distribution network contributed A$626.2 million in revenue to SP AusNet’s financial performance, and distributed 7,780 GWh of electricity. SP AusNet invested approximately A$350.6 million in capital expenditure to extend SP AusNet’s electricity distribution network and improve its performance, further connecting 11,417 new customers across eastern Victoria. Performance and Reliability Even as SP AusNet continues to invest in strengthening and upgrading its electricity distribution network, a number of severe weather events during the year caused service disruptions to customers. To reduce the impact of such storm-related interruptions, SP AusNet is reinforcing its focus on the S-Factor reliability programme to assist in the delivery of safe and continuous electricity supply. The ability for smart meters to measure energy consumption remotely every 30 minutes means customers will be able to manage their energy use more efficiently. This will also allow SP AusNet to better oversee its electricity distribution network. Gas Distribution SP AusNet’s 9,757 km of gas distribution and transmission pipeline networks deliver natural gas to more than 572,000 customers across 60,000 square kilometres of central and western Victoria. In FY 09/10, the gas distribution network contributed A$190.8 million in revenue and distributed 71.4 PJ of gas. SP AusNet invested A$67.6 million to expand the network and connected 17,181 new customers across central and western Victoria. Upgrades and Extensions As part of its commitment to the replacement of aged low pressure gas assets, SP AusNet invested more than A$10 million in its gas mains renewal programme during the year to enhance the safety and reliability of the natural gas network. 50 The recent introduction of a number of network ‘self-healing’ schemes, known as Distribution Feeder Automation (DFA), will continue to see SP AusNet deliver electricity to customers with greater reliability. SP AusNet is the first Australian electricity distribution business to implement fully-automated DFA schemes, which enable the network to respond to momentary faults and transfer supply on the network automatically and remotely within 60 seconds. Smart Meters In late 2009, SP AusNet commenced the rollout of smart meters to all residential and small business customers in its electricity distribution network, as mandated by the Victorian Government. SP AusNet is on track to having more than 680,000 smart meters installed by the end of 2013, with over 19,000 already installed in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. SP AusNet apprentice Alex Gray assists with undergrounding electricity cables in a new housing development. SP AUSNET SP Annual Report 09 SP AusNet carries out extensive maintenance work to ensure a reliable supply of energy throughout the year. Select Solutions The establishment of Select Solutions brought together existing niche services into one SP AusNet division, which continues to deliver non-regulated end-to-end services to utilities, government, energy and water retailers, and commercial and industrial customers. Select Data and Measurement Solutions under the Selection Solutions group is managing the installation of 680,000 smart meters across SP AusNet’s electricity distribution network, ensuring the installations meet all operational and market requirements involved in the collection of meter data for SP AusNet. Following long-term agreements reached with Jemena in 2009, the Select Utility Solutions group under the Selection Solutions group has been successfully providing asset management services to the utility. These services include managing Jemena’s conductor assessment programme using a 21-metre Hi-Mast to inspect 3,500 poles. This industry-leading inspection technique allows optical zoom high resolution photographic inspection and accurate assessment of the condition of Jemena’s assets. Safety SP AusNet is a major employer with 1,500 employees located across Victoria, often in the local communities in which it operates. The safety and well-being of SP AusNet’s people is a top priority, so there is a commitment to ensuring a safe workplace for all employees and a safe environment for the communities in which it operates. A key measure of safety performance is the Recordable Injury Frequency Rate, which measures lost time and medical treatment injuries on a rolling 12-month basis. The company achieved a result of 11.12 against a target of ≤18. A safety observation programme was introduced in FY 09/10, based on the belief that everyone is responsible for leading safety and that together they seek out and correct all unsafe behaviours and situations whilst aiming for zero injuries. This programme is part of SP AusNet’s safety plan implemented after the engagement of safety experts DuPont. This is a lead indicator of safety and has assisted in bringing down the number of reportable incidents. 51 SP Annual Report 09 OPERATIONS REVIEW SPI (AUSTRALIA) ASSETS / JEMENA Management 1 Mr Paul Adams Managing Director 2 Mr Lim Howe Run Deputy Managing Director 1 3 5 2 4 6 3 Mr Tony Beach Executive General Manager (Asset Strategy) 4 Mr Patrick Patterson Executive General Manager (Infrastructure Services) 5 Ms Joanne Pearson Chief Financial Officer 6 Dr Shaun Reardon Executive General Manager (Infrastructure Investments) 7 Mr David Clerk Executive General Manager (Strategy & Business Development) 8 Ms Jodie Blake Executive General Manager (People, Safety and Services) 9 Ms Tina Ooi General Counsel & Company Secretary 52 7 8 9 SP Annual Report 09 SPI (AUSTRALIA) ASSETS / JEMENA Growing Capabilities and Developing Possibilities A number of significant objectives were accomplished for SPI (Australia) Assets Pty Ltd and its Jemena subsidiaries in FY 09/10. Overall business activity was focused on a number of strategic priorities, including optimising its core business, pursuing new growth paths and strengthening customer focus. Achieving ‘Zero Harm, Safety First’ remained a priority through the implementation of a behavioural driven approach to safety. A New Organisational Structure On 1 April 2009, Jemena began operating under a new organisational structure, designed to build a stronger commercial and customer service focus for the business. The new structure is a step towards growing the contracting services business by ensuring it is focused on understanding customer needs and the costs of delivering high quality service. The new structure also brings out the focus on safety and ensures the creation of long term value for the assets Jemena owns and manages. In preparation for its revised Access Arrangement submission, JGN successfully applied to the Australian Competition Tribunal to have its transmission pipelines connecting Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong reclassified as distribution pipelines for the purposes of access regulation. This reclassification will enable JGN to price its distribution services more efficiently and in a manner compatible with the Short Term Trading Market to be introduced in 2010. Jemena Electricity Network (JEN) In FY 09/10, the JEN electricity distribution network contributed A$208.5 million in revenue (net cost of sales) and distributed 4,419 GWh of energy. Demand for connections to the network was very strong with A$30.2 million being invested to meet demand for customer initiated projects. In addition A$41.3 million was invested to maintain reliability and capacity in the network.

Staying Focused BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Reliability is the hallmark of SP’s energy utility services. We build on our foundations, and strive to improve continually. Focused on our operations and ever strengthening our competencies and capabilities, we aim to build a sustainable future. FROM THE CHAIRMAN Staying Focused BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Ng Kee Choe CHAIRMAN FY 08/09 saw the global economy slip into recession. Business conditions deteriorated across major economies as the financial crisis took hold. Demand for electricity dipped with the contraction of the economy. The difficult operating environment notwithstanding, the Singapore Power Group turned in a creditable performance. 04 SP Annual Report 08 Financial Performance Our Group’s net profit for financial year ended 31 March 2009 was S$616 million, excluding exceptional and non-recurring items. This was comparable to the previous year’s results. Group revenue rose by 22 per cent to S$6.6 billion, mainly from higher pass through cost of electricity and full year contribution from our Australian subsidiary, SPI (Australia) Assets, while total assets declined by 9 per cent to S$26.3 billion, mainly as a result of a weakened Australian dollar. The Group’s return on equity stood at 14.4 per cent, excluding exceptional and non-recurring items. Despite the volatile debt markets, we successfully refinanced our maturing debts and secured funding for capital expenditure at competitive terms. A total of S$11 billion financing was completed in FY 08/09, demonstrating strong support from financial institutions and investors. With completion of the financing, SP is better placed to focus on strengthening our businesses. Upholding Excellence SP PowerGrid continued to excel in its electricity and gas network performances in FY 08/09. The System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) score of 0.69 minutes for our electricity grid was a significant improvement over the 1.14 minutes registered in FY 07/08. For the second time in our Group’s history, electricity SAIDI went below a minute, which is equivalent to a network reliability of 99.99%. Similarly, the SAIDI score for our gas network was 0.125 minutes, bettering FY 07/08’s score of 0.491 minutes. SP Services has done well in its stride towards service excellence. For the fourth consecutive year, it was ranked top among benchmarked service providers in Singapore for customer satisfaction. In a separate benchmarking study by KEMA, an international utility consultant, SP Services was highlighted for being very cost effective in providing a high level of service. SP Services’ cost to serve per customer was found to be lowest among major utilities in USA, Europe, Australia and Asia with performance standards that were very competitive by international standards. SP AusNet became the first business in Australia to receive certification to British Asset Management Specification – BSI PAS 55. The specification is recognised as the leading global standard against which asset-intensive industries, such as utilities, are benchmarked. Towards a Sustainable Future The Group underwent restructuring to streamline operations towards better corporate governance, business alignment, efficiencies and positioning for growth. In Singapore, the integration of electricity and gas operations under a restructured SP PowerGrid was completed. In Australia, Jemena (ex-Alinta) has been restructured to give clear focus to the separate businesses of asset ownership and asset servicing. SP AusNet also adopted a new organisational functions model, strengthening itself to meet challenges and opportunities ahead. SP AusNet’s and Jemena’s information technology services were outsourced to EB Services (Australia) Pty Ltd, a newlyformed subsidiary of SPI Pte Ltd, to achieve operational efficiencies. The SP Group is rapidly coming together to derive greater synergy and stronger competitive advantage. Major Developments and Projects In October 2008, SP PowerAsset’s second regulatory reset was concluded. This determines its annual revenue cap for the electricity transmission and distribution charges for the next five years. SP Services successfully launched a new billing system, named Enterprise Business System (EBS) on 9 August 2008, after 11 months of rigorous system integration and user acceptance tests. The system enables SP Services to enhance the quality of its customer services and streamline its business processes for better performance. Singapore’s gas market was restructured with effect from 15 September 2008 to facilitate the liberalisation of the gas market. The restructuring involved the transfer of SembCorp Gas’ pipeline to PowerGas, in line with PowerGas’ role as the sole licensed gas transporter and gas system operator in Singapore, delivering both town gas and natural gas. In support of the restructured gas market, PowerGas developed and implemented a web-based 24/7 Gas Transportation System Solution to manage the transportation of natural gas in accordance with the rules of the Gas Network Code. The unfavourable economic circumstances notwithstanding, SP’s infrastructure development went on as planned. We invested S$1 billion in capital expenditure in Singapore and Australia. Notable among our investments is a new 400kV circuit to Paya Lebar substation commissioned in September 2008. In Australia, Jemena achieved an Australia-first with its design and building of the A$104 million Colongra Lateral gas line. The line not only delivers gas to the power station, but can also store enough gas to allow the station to run at full capacity for five hours. SP Annual Report 08 05 FROM THE CHAIRMAN In early February 2009, the state of Victoria was impacted by bushfires. The Victorian Government subsequently established a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Victorian bushfire crisis and SP AusNet is extending its full support and assistance to the Inquiry. On 16 April 2009, SP AusNet was served with a writ, an earlier version of which was previously filed in the Supreme Court of Victoria on 16 February 2009, and other associated documents. The writ alleges that “faulty and/or defective power lines” caused loss and damage. SP AusNet believes the claim is both premature and inappropriate, given the establishment of the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. SP AusNet will vigorously defend the claim. SP AusNet has liability insurance which provides cover for bushfire liability. SP AusNet reviews its insurance cover annually and ensures it is commensurate with the scale and size of its operations and the risks assessed to be associated with its operations and with industry standards and practice. SP AusNet’s bushfire mitigation and vegetation management programmes fully comply with Electricity Safety (Bushfire Mitigation) Regulations and are audited annually by Energy Safe Victoria. All bushfire mitigation programmes, including vegetation management, were completed prior to the declaration of the bushfire season in December 2008. Together as One We continue our emphasis on people development through Individual Learning Roadmaps for each SP staff. To encourage team bonding among staff and to build leadership skills, a corporate core programme comprising Team Engagement and Motivation (TEAM) and Leading Excellence and Development (LEAD) was launched. In Australia, Jemena relaunched its Development Programmes, focused on building people management and leadership capability at all levels within the company. An integrated talent management initiative was also implemented to support staff development. In April 2008, SP strengthened our partnership with the Union of Power and Gas Employees (UPAGE) through our signing of the Employers’ Pledge of Fair Employment Practices. This reinforces our commitment to endorse the key principles of fair and merit-based employment practices. Recognising our strong dedication and contributions towards serving the less privileged elderly in our community, the Community Chest awarded SP the SHARE Corporate Gold Award and Special Events Platinum Award at its awards ceremony in 2008. In Australia, following the bushfires in February 2009, Jemena matched personal staff donations dollar-for-dollar to raise over A$100,000 for the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal to help fire victims in their time of need. SP AusNet, through the company’s Community Development Fund, contributed A$30,000 towards community groups and various charities for Special Children. Everybody Counts We are privileged to have the services of highly qualified Board members with vast experience in management and business. They provide sound judgement and guidance which contribute in no small measure to the resilience and success of SP. I would like to thank our Board members for their invaluable counsel. To our stakeholders including our business partners, I thank you for your unstinting support and cooperation. Not least, I would like to thank the management and staff for their dedication and hard work in keeping SP on course towards further excellence. Our appreciation also goes to UPAGE for its unrelenting support in upholding the interests of its members while partnering our management. Making the Future More than ever, SP has the scale of operations, a sound and prudent financial strategy, strategic focus, and a complete range of transmission and distribution competencies for electricity and gas. Led by a highly competent and experienced management, our dedicated workforces in Singapore and Australia have in recent times proven, as they had done before, their resilience and ability to stand up against the adverse business conditions. The future is what we make it to be. I am confident we in SP have the talent and passion to achieve our vision of being a leading energy infrastructure group in the Asia Pacific. Community Caring Our commitment to aiding the needy elderly was reaffirmed through our pledge of continued support for the Home Help Service for the period October 2008 to September 2009. SP also sponsored the fund-raising efforts of various charities for their cost of direct mailers.

SP Annual Report 08 09 CORPORATE REVIEW The 2008/2009 financial year was one marked by unprecedented changes which have altered the global financial and economic landscape. The credit crisis that hit global financial markets in mid-2007 continued throughout the financial year. Singapore Power Group’s strategic focus on electricity and gas transmission and distribution assets and businesses has stood us in good stead, providing SP with defensive, stable and predictable revenues and earnings. These assets have positioned us well in times of increased volatility. Despite the difficult economic conditions, we have continued to strengthen our core capabilities and expertise in operations and human resource through our investments in our competencies and people. In the midst of these turbulent times, we have been able to hold our ground due to the strengthening of our key pillars of growth: Investment Strategy Financing Strategy and Capital Management Operational Excellence Human Capital Investment Strategy In Singapore, SP owns and operates electricity and gas transmission and distribution businesses, and provides energy market support services. In Australia, where two-thirds of SP’s assets are located, we own and operate electricity and gas transmission and distribution businesses in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory. SP has continued to drive organic growth of our regulated asset base. Capital investments in our networks during the past 12 months exceeded S$1 billion. These investments secure future regulated revenues for the business and enhance service to our customers. The newly acquired businesses in Australia have also enabled SP to venture into new growth areas such as water distribution network development and the provision of electricity infrastructure services for the growing wind farm developments in Australia. Given the significant size of our operations in Australia, SP is now well placed to derive synergies from the Australia business, particularly in the areas of IT operations, capital works and asset management services. To this end, EB Services (Australia) Pty Ltd (“EB Services”) was established on 1 October 2008 to provide IT services to the Australia entities in the SP Group. Leveraging size and scale, EB Services will create efficiencies in the delivery of IT services and achieve synergies through the consolidation of IT personnel and resources. 10 SP Annual Report 08 Financing Strategy and Capital Management Despite the volatility in debt markets, SP successfully refinanced our maturing debts and funded our capital expenditure at competitive rates. These include the following: � � � ��� ����������� ����� ��� ��� ��������� ������� � A$3.4 billion syndicated bank debt facility in July 2008. �� ������ ������� ��������� � ���� ������� ������� Sterling bond issue in June 2008. �� ����������� ������� �������� ������������ ������ S$600 million of fixed rate notes in August 2008. The issuance comprised both 7-year and 12-year notes and was issued under the SPPA’s Global Medium Term Note Programme. The success of these financing transactions reflects the strength of our underlying business fundamentals and attests to the support of the market for our prudent and disciplined debt strategy. The Group is committed to an optimal capital structure and to maintaining our strong credit ratings. SP is currently rated AA- by Standard & Poor’s and Aa3 by Moody’s Investors Service. Operational Excellence SP outperforms our peers operating comparable underground networks. In Singapore, the average duration of unplanned electricity supply interruption a customer experienced was less than a minute, which represents a system reliability of 99.9999 per cent. Similarly, our gas network achieved its best network reliability performance in the past 12 years, where a customer experienced only an average of 7.5 seconds of unplanned gas interruptions during the year. These stellar network performances were achieved through SP’s intensive network infrastructure development and planning. SP PowerGrid took on the additional role of managing the gas network in July 2008, ahead of the gas market restructuring. This integration of electricity and gas management staff allows synergistic management of SP’s electricity and gas networks, streamlining operations for better efficiencies and enhanced performance. SP AusNet and SPI (Australia) Assets achieved operational efficiencies, particularly in the information technology area. Through operational agreements concluded between SP AusNet and the SP Group, SP AusNet now delivers end-to-end network metering services, technical services and vegetation management services to the electricity and gas networks owned and managed by Jemena. SP AusNet also implemented a new operating structure to provide more focus on growing this important part of its business to the wider market. Building Human Capital SP’s continued success depends on our people and their capabilities giving us a competitive advantage in the global marketplace. Today, the Group has about 6,500 staff located in Singapore and Australia. We remain firmly committed to investing in our people to empower them to achieve their full potential. We groom and nurture them to continuously grow their talents. We upgrade their skills by offering education, on-the-job training, participation in special projects, overseas postings, job rotations and mentorship programmes. We support them in their pursuit of lifelong learning by providing subsidies for personal development courses. We actively cultivate and create communication avenues to listen to them and understand their needs. We introduced flexible work arrangements such as flexi-hours and pro-family leave schemes to help them to balance the demands of work and family. We harvest their ideas, and harness their skills and creativity through the Value Creation Idea Award Scheme and Economic Value Projects. Recognising the need to renew our talent pool, we continued our search for talented people to join and rejuvenate our organisation through participation in scholarship fairs, career fairs, internships and referrals. Our core values of teamwork, integrity, commitment and passion guide the actions and decisions of our people towards achieving SP’s strategic and business goals.

The Company has used the Code as its guide and best practice standard and has put in place an internal framework to ensure good corporate governance in its business practices and activities. The Whistleblower Policy, which was launched in 2005, seeks to strengthen ethical business conduct in the Group. The Group endeavours to enhance shareholder value by ensuring the highest standards of corporate governance, transparency, accountability and integrity. Setting Directions The Board provides broad strategic directions for the Group and undertakes key investment and funding decisions. In addition, the Board ensures that Management maintains a robust system of internal controls to protect the Group’s assets and reviews the Group’s financial performance.

Board papers include management financial reports, annual budgets and performance against budget, announcement of results, matters requiring the Board’s decision, updates on key outstanding issues and disclosure documents as well as updates on new legislative developments. Newly-appointed Board Directors attend an orientation programme to familiarise themselves with the Group’s business and governance practices.

The independence of each Director is reviewed annually by the Nominating Committee in accordance with the Code. The current size of ten Board members is appropriate for effective decision-making, taking into account the scope and nature of the Group’s operations.

SP PowerGrid’s network performance for its electricity operations in FY 08/09 was well within regulatory targets and an improvement over the previous year’s performance. Its network performance for gas operations was also well within regulatory targets. For FY 08/09, electricity’s System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) score of 0.69 minutes was better than the 1.14 minutes registered in FY 07/08. Gas’ SAIDI score of 0.125 minutes was a significant improvement over FY 07/08’s score of 0.491 minutes. Electricity’s System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) score of 0.016 was better than its score of 0.023 in FY 07/08. Gas’ SAIFI score was 0.0020 interruptions compared to the previous year’s score of 0.0011. SAIDI measures the average duration of unplanned electricity or gas interruptions a consumer experiences in a year and SAIFI, the average number of such interruptions. SP PowerGrid’s impressive network performance is founded on the use of cutting-edge technology in condition monitoring, rigorous quality processes, and investment in network infrastructure and staff expertise. Condition Monitoring for Better Performance SP PowerGrid’s comprehensive efforts in condition monitoring continued to enhance electricity network performance with 43 potential failures averted in FY 08/09. The Oscillating Wave Testing System (OWTS), which monitors the condition of the underground 66kV, 22kV and 6.6kV cables, has successfully prevented 88 potential cable failures since its inception in January 2006. In FY 08/09, OWTS was conducted on nine 66kV circuits. OWTS for 230kV cables will be introduced in May 2009. The wireless SCADA system helps SP engineers monitor the electricity grid, swiftly isolate any fault and restore supply. The 230kV switchgear in Kampong Java substation was fitted with an online condition monitoring system. Remote Monitoring of Distribution Network The installation of the wireless Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for remote monitoring of the 6.6kV distribution network is in progress. By the third quarter of 2009, some 1,000 substations supplying densely populated public residential estates will be fitted with wireless SCADA to enable real-time monitoring of the network and further reduce outage time. As of February 2009, installation works at 800 substations were completed. Enhancing Communication Network The Time Division Multiplex over Ethernet (TDMoE) technology was commissioned and deployed in the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) in December 2008. The use of this new technology for SCADA application resulted in lower maintenance costs. SP Annual Report 08 31 OPERATIONS REVIEW The tender for the wireless network connection to the MAN was awarded in January 2009. The wireless technology will be deployed at about 100 substations and installations to further extend the coverage for applications like SCADA, condition monitoring, power quality monitoring and security surveillance. Strengthening Customer Relationships During the year in review, SP PowerGrid implemented new initiatives aimed at serving its customers better. In August 2008, a new Power Quality Interest Group was formed for the essential services industry. This enables SP PowerGrid to better support the sector’s needs and future growth. Three meetings were held for the semiconductor & electronics, pharmaceutical, and chemical & petrochemical interest groups. Chief Executive Officers representing these high-tech industries on the Power Quality Advisory Panel also met in April 2008 to discuss power quality issues across industry sectors. SP PowerGrid organised four half-day workshops in July 2008 and a two-day workshop in February 2009 to share with large industrial and commercial customers its knowledge on the latest technologies and practices to enhance power quality. SP PowerGrid embarked on new initiatives to provide a higher level of customer service to affected public housing residents during electricity supply interruptions. Standby teams working on three shifts and decentralising mobile generators to six locations have improved the response time to site and shortened supply restoration time by up to 30 minutes. Service vans with LED panels are deployed to keep customers informed on the progress of supply restoration during an outage. As part of efforts to keep customers informed during supply interruptions, service vans with LED panels are deployed to provide residents with timely information on the progress of supply restoration. ISO Certification SP PowerGrid first obtained its ISO 9001:2000 certifications in 2002. In FY 08/09, it received ISO 9001:2000 recertification for the development and management of its electricity transmission and distribution networks, and for its gas operations covering network management and system operations. It also continued to comply with ISO 9001:2000 standards for the operation, control and monitoring of the distribution network as well as the management of network incidents and customer calls.

In FY 08/09, new growth paths were achieved through the acquisition of electricity and water infrastructure service companies. It also focused on optimising its core business in the areas of electricity and gas and asset management services, and on leveraging its people and safety capabilities. A New Beginning The Jemena brand was launched in August 2008, marking a new beginning for the company renowned for its high quality gas, water and electricity infrastructure and contracted works services. Jemena is an aboriginal word meaning ‘to hear, to listen and to think’, and it aptly represents how the company conducts its business and focuses on delivering the best services. Jemena Gas Network In FY 08/09, the gas distribution network contributed A$373 million in revenue to the Group and distributed 100 PJ of gas. A total of A$96 million was invested to maintain and expand the network. This investment was across a range of activities including market expansion, capacity development, facilities renewal and upgrade, metering, mains and services renewals, and ancillary equipment. The customer base continued to grow with the connection of an additional 25,013 new customers. Major projects included the construction of a 2.5 km steel main, at approximately A$5.0 million, through one of Sydney’s oldest and most congested areas, the Eastern Suburbs. A Jemena worker conducts maintenance work on gas transmission pipelines. SP Annual Report 08 47 OPERATIONS REVIEW Workers consult with one another before fixing overhead power lines. Jemena Electricity Networks Network revenue of A$200 million was A$1.7 million above target and A$4.0 million higher than the prior year, reflecting the higher level of energy delivered – 4,446 GWh compared to 4,021 GWh in the prior year. Capital investment in the network of A$100 million included A$25 million of investment in the initial design and planning phase of the Advanced Interval Meter Rollout Program mandated by the Victorian Government. A maintenance optimisation project was delivered by Jemena to reduce the ongoing maintenance costs on the Jemena Electricity Networks. This project realised a A$1.7 million benefit in FY 08/09 by adjusting maintenance frequencies, scopes and resource requirements, aligning them to industry benchmarks and completing risk assessments to ensure the changes were acceptable. Development of Major Assets The major Mila Compressor Station project was completed in July 2008 and has increased the pipeline capacity by 24 per cent. The pipeline transports natural gas from Bass Strait to Canberra, Nowra, Tallawarra (near Wollongong), Port Kembla and Sydney. The Queensland Gas Pipeline expansion project, consisting of the installation of the Rolleston and Banana Compressor Stations and Looping from Oombabeer to Callide, will increase the pipeline capacity by 69 per cent when completed in 2010. The addition of compression will also allow for more effective control of the pipeline. A significant new delivery point is also being constructed at Yarwun to deliver gas to Rio Tinto’s upgraded aluminium refinery. 48 SP Annual Report 08 SPI (AUSTRALIA) ASSETS / JEMENA In an Australia-first, Jemena designed and built the A$104 million Colongra Lateral gas pipeline which delivers gas to the new Delta peaking power station near Newcastle, and provides sufficient gas storage to allow the station to run at full capacity for five hours in the event of a major interruption to the normal supply of gas. Safety First During the year in review, the business faced a number of challenges in the safety arena. In response to these challenges Jemena put in place systems and procedures to focus on and help achieve “Zero Harm – Safety First”. The new initiatives include establishing electricity and gas safety taskforces charged with identifying, capturing and implementing new ideas to improve safety in the business, such as independent performance reviews to recommend change, ensuring all staff undertake “Safety First” training and rewarding the display of safety behaviour. A monthly Safety Hero Award was also established to recognise individuals or teams for their outstanding contribution to safety at Jemena. FY 09/10 will see a continued focus on safety and ensuring “Zero Harm – Safety First”. Heatwave Heroes In late January 2009, Victoria experienced unprecedented hot weather conditions, resulting in three separate emergency events. The staff of Jemena worked tirelessly to restore power during these extraordinary conditions. Its field personnel, along with contractors and line workers from around the country, worked for days in temperatures exceeding 40°C to repair network damage and restore power to over 200,000 customers. Equally important were those who managed the response around the clock as well as Jemena volunteers who looked after the field personnel and answered calls at the call centre. Fixing a power line in Melbourne. The Year Ahead Jemena is on track to deliver over A$300 million of contracted services work in FY 09/10, as well as an additional A$300 to A$400 million per annum in contracts for work over the next three to five years as a result of being appointed to various client panels. The new structure supports the growth in Contracting Services while focusing on maximising return from its assets, developing new assets and partnering with other developers where it makes good business sense.

At SP, IT initiatives are aligned closely with business unit goals to ensure efficient and effective execution of business strategies. Common shared systems and infrastructure across the Group drive greater synergies. Supporting the Gas Network The Singapore gas market was de-regulated on 15 September 2008. PowerGas developed and launched a web-based IT system, Gas Transportation System Solution (GTSS), to manage the transportation of natural gas according to the rules of the Gas Network Code. The Information Systems Department (ISD) worked closely with the system integrator, Accenture, to ensure that the design of the GTSS is robust and reliable. The supporting infrastructure and computer operations processes were tested very thoroughly to ensure that they meet system performance expectations and reliability standards. Enhancing Human Resource Management with Business Intelligence Tools ISD spearheaded the design and implementation of a business data warehouse for business intelligence for the Human Resource department. The solutions became operational in January 2009. The system allows for the creation of analytical reports detailing manpower statistics through the Enterprise Portal. It also enables key business users to slice and dice the data and to perform ad-hoc analysis and reporting via an on-line interface, hence improving productivity and efficiency. Users can also access this function via the internet, thereby granting them 24-hr global access. Automated Monitoring The ISD Data Centre operates 76 units of UNIX servers, 280 Intel servers and 175 networking equipment. During the year, ISD implemented an Enterprise Management System to proactively monitor all critical systems, hardware and services. This has led to improved management of the inventory of hardware and software, and automation of the performance reporting for critical servers and the patch management of the Microsoft Operating Systems. Common shared systems and infrastructure across SP drive greater synergies. SP Annual Report 08 55 OPERATIONAL SUPPORT ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT Managing Risk Proactively Staff employ a systematic and holistic approach to identify, assess, mitigate, report and monitor risks. SP is committed in its practice of Enterprise Risk Management and recognises risk management as a fundamental tool of effective corporate governance and operational efficiency.

POWERING ECONOMIES delivering excellence FROM THE CHAIRMAN SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 “Today we have the scale and competencies, integration and execution skills, strong management and sound business strategy to achieve our vision to be a leading energy infrastructure company in the region.” NG KEE CHOE CHAIRMAN 04 FY 07/08 was a year of significant transformation for the Singapore Power Group. With the acquisition of the Alinta assets and businesses in Aug 07, we took an important step forward to realising our vision of becoming a leading energy utility company in the Asia Pacific region. Our asset base has now increased to S$29.0 billion, with two-thirds of our assets outside Singapore. We have also enlarged our business scale and increased our geographical and business diversification to further enhance the quality of our revenue stream. Our Group portfolio today spans regulated, contracted and non-regulated businesses across several Australian states and Singapore. We provide the complete range of transmission and distribution competencies covering underground, overhead and undersea cables and pipes. We also provide technical management consultancy services to other utility companies in China, the Gulf region and ASEAN. Financial Performance For the financial year ended 31 Mar 08, SP recorded S$1.09 billion net profit, including an exceptional gain from the sale of the Singapore Power Building. Group revenue rose four per cent to S$5.4 billion, while total assets grew 59 per cent to S$29.0 billion, mainly due to the inclusion of the Alinta assets and businesses acquired. The Group’s return on equity was a satisfactory 26 per cent. Delivering Excellence Our businesses were sharply focused on executing our strategy and delivering results. In Singapore, SP PowerAssets continued its intensive network infrastructure development to increase capacity to meet the future needs of the growing Singapore economy. SP PowerGrid again delivered exceptional network results in FY 07/08. It achieved one of the best network performance worldwide, surpassing its peers operating comparable underground networks. Singapore had one of the fewest outages among cities globally. This excellent performance was due to the adoption of cutting-edge condition monitoring technology, rigorous quality processes, and continuous investment in network infrastructure and staff development. SP PowerGrid rolled out a wireless remote equipment monitoring system in Singapore for the 6.6kV distribution network to facilitate faster supply restoration to residential customers. The project, which involves installing wireless monitoring systems at over 1,000 substations in high density areas, will complete by end 2009. Supporting The Gas Market In Sep 07, PowerGas was designated as the developer, owner and operator of Singapore’s first LNG terminal, extending its vital role as the country’s gas transporter. PowerGas is preparing to roll out a web-based IT system to manage the transportation of natural gas under the new market structure which will come into effect when the Energy Market Authority implements the new Gas Network Code in the third quarter of 2008. Striving For Customer Service Excellence SP Services tapped on technology to re-engineer its processes and improve customer service. Customers can now use SMS to request for utility connections. SP Services’ concerted efforts to enhance customer service has been duly recognised. Customers again ranked the company as providing the best customer service among major service providers in the country, in an independent annual customer satisfaction survey. SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 05 FROM THE CHAIRMAN Growing Internationally In Australia, following the acquisition of the Alinta assets and businesses, we have expanded our operations beyond Victoria, to Queensland and New South Wales and have become one of the largest energy infrastructure groups in the Asia Pacific. In addition to our core energy transmission and distribution businesses, we now provide competencies in asset development, construction and management services. Through SP Global Solutions, SP expanded its reach to more utility companies in China, the Gulf region and ASEAN. Empowering Our People The Group continued to invest in staff development to deepen our bench strength and improve further our industry leading performance levels. People Who Made It Possible We take pride in our high standards of corporate governance. We are fortunate to have highly experienced Board members who provide sound advice and guidance. I would like to thank them for their invaluable counsel. I also wish to extend my appreciation to Mr Keith Tay who retired from the Board at the SP Annual General Meeting in Jul 07, having served two terms. SP has benefited much from Mr Tay’s past contributions, particularly from his chairing of the Audit Committee. Our achievements would not have been possible without the support and cooperation of our stakeholders including our business partners. We deeply appreciate their contributions. And to all our employees, we thank them for their hard work and commitment to deliver another year of excellent performance and customer service. SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 In Singapore, our strong rapport with UPAGE (Union of Power and Gas Employees) facilitated the signing of a new Collective Agreement in Jun 07, featuring a better link between individual performance and rewards. We cherish our excellent management-union partnership, as this is key to sustaining our business competitiveness. Caring For The Community As part of our corporate social responsibility programme, the SP Heartware Fund raised S$3.4 million for the needy elderly from Oct 05 to end Mar 08 with the support of our business partners and staff. This surpassed our commitment to the Community Chest to raise S$3 million in three years. In Australia, our businesses invested considerable time and resources to promote environmental sustainability and preserve indigenous vegetation. The Future Today we have the scale and competencies, integration and execution skills, strong management and sound business strategy to achieve our vision to be a leading energy infrastructure company in the region.

With the acquisition of Alinta assets and businesses through SPI (Australia) Assets Pty Ltd in Aug 07, SP has reached a watershed in its corporate history. Our S$29 billion asset base today is more than double our S$13.6 billion assets in 2002. Today, 70 per cent of our assets are overseas, compared to only 18 per cent five years ago. The Group has made great progress in just five years due to our four pillars of strength • Operational excellence • Financial strategies • Corporate finance capabilities • Human talent. Operational Excellence As the owner and operator of Singapore’s entire electricity and gas transmission and distribution networks, and some of Australia’s major electricity and gas networks, we take our responsibilities to the national and regional economies, and consumers seriously. The Group maintains very high standards of network performance. The Singapore electricity grid is one of the world’s best. On average, a consumer in the country experiences less than one supply interruption every 30 years, one of the lowest in the world. This has been made possible by the deployment of new network technologies especially in the areas of condition monitoring. We have also invested heavily in the renewal and expansion of our networks in Singapore and Australia to maintain high operational performance and meet the increasing energy needs of these economies. In the last five years, SP has spent S$4.3 billion in capital expenditure.

With our continual focus on operational excellence, financial discipline and optimal capital structure, SP’s return on equity was 26 per cent for FY 07/08, including the sale of assets. SP’s financial strength has made it an established name in the global capital markets, enabling the Group to tap the equity and debt markets efficiently. Corporate Finance Due to the inherent market limitations in Singapore, we have looked overseas to realise our growth ambitions as well as to diversify our businesses. The substantial growth in our asset base has been driven by our international acquisition strategy that focuses on • The Group’s core competencies in electricity and gas transmission and distribution • Developed economies with established regulatory regimes and frameworks • Regulated and contracted businesses that provide predictable and regular cashflows. The acquired Alinta assets and businesses include the gas transmission pipelines in New South Wales and Queensland, a gas distribution network in New South Wales, an electricity distribution network in Victoria as well as significant asset management capabilities. These have increased our geographical and sectoral diversification in Australia. 10 Human Talent SP’s continued success depends on our people and their capabilities. Today, the Group has about 6,400 staff located in Singapore and Australia. To support our rapid growth, we have accelerated efforts to recruit talent, nurture and develop our people. Some of the initiatives include • Apprenticeship programmes • Scholarship schemes • Post-graduate programmes • International posting assignments. In fact, a key driver for the Alinta transaction was the addition of its pool of 2,400 management and staff to our workforce. The integration of these people into SP has substantially broadened our operational capabilities which now cover water utilities as well and the management of third party contracts. Delivering Excellence With our larger asset base and expanded capabilities spanning two countries, we are now in an ideal position to seize growth opportunities. We will continue to explore quality accretive opportunities in US, Europe and ASEAN that will create long term value for our shareholders. We will also continue to deepen and grow our core competencies. For instance, with our proven track record, SP has been mandated to build, own and operate Singapore’s first Liquefied Natural Gas terminal as part of the country’s efforts to diversify its energy sources. We are committed to working with the relevant stakeholders for the successful roll-out of the terminal.

Its S$6.8 billion fixed asset base comprises modern and robust networks at 400kV, 230kV and 66kV for transmission, and 22kV, 6.6kV and 400V for distribution. During the year in review, SP PowerAssets continued its intensive network infrastructure development, planning for additional capacity to meet the growing power needs of the Singapore economy. Investments were made to expand the transmission and distribution infrastructure. At the same time, progressive upgrading and renewal of existing equipment were carried out to ensure the continuity of the electricity grid’s excellent track record of high reliability. • The tunnel breakthrough for Harbour Drive-Labrador cable tunnel was achieved in Feb 08. This will enable the installation of 400kV and 230kV circuits to bring more power from the western to the central part of Singapore by 2009. • A 400kV circuit is being installed to further reinforce the 400kV transmission connection to the East. It will be commissioned by end 2008. • Three 230kV substation buildings are being constructed at Labrador, Marina South and Choa Chu Kang as part of the 230kV network development to cater for increasing load demand and renewal works. • Three 230/66kV 200MVA transformers were commissioned to meet load growth while six 230kV circuits are being installed to further enhance network security. • Several existing 66kV substations are being progressively upgraded as part of a network renewal programme to enhance reliability and maintain leading network performance. New substations being constructed to meet increasing load growth SP PowerAssets is also working on the development of two major cable tunnels for the future installation of transmission cables on the island. The project comprises a 17 km East-West tunnel and an 18 km North-South tunnel. These tunnels will accommodate multiple 400kV and 230kV circuits and are scheduled for completion in 2015. The tunnels will provide secure corridors for faster and more efficient installation of transmission cables as they avoid the problem of underground congestion from the various infrastructure services. Inconvenience to the public and road users will also be minimised as no excavation will be needed to lay new cables. Generally, cables installed in tunnels are more reliable as they are not exposed to the environment and are not vulnerable to excavation damage. Integrated Asset Management SP PowerAssets depends on an integrated approach in the lifecycle management of its network assets, balancing the need to maintain excellent network reliability with cost effectiveness. Its framework for optimising the lifecycle management of its asset base is guided by its Asset Management Policy manual.

In FY 07/08, according to international indices that measure electricity grid reliability, Singapore continued to be one of the global leaders in delivering excellent network performance. SP PowerGrid’s SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) score of 1.14 minutes and SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index) score of 0.02 showed that it continued to outperform its peers operating comparable underground networks. SAIDI measures the average duration of unplanned interruptions a consumer experiences in a year and SAIFI, the average number of such interruptions. SP PowerGrid’s network performance for FY 07/08 was well within the regulatory targets and better than the previous year’s. The exceptional performance was due to its strategic use of state-of-the-art equipment and cable condition monitoring technology, rigorous quality processes, and investment in network infrastructure and staff expertise. Condition Monitoring Technology SP PowerGrid’s comprehensive efforts in condition monitoring continued to contribute to better performance with 69 potential failures averted in FY 07/08. The Oscillating Wave Test System has prevented 74 potential 22kV and 6.6kV cable failures since it was introduced in Jan 06. SP PowerGrid collaborated with an international research centre to become the first to apply the technology in underground distribution cable inspection. Today, the oscillating wave test equipment is installed in specially designed vans to make it easy for its engineers to carry out site tests on underground cables in various parts of the island.

SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 55 OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE HUMAN RESOURCE POWERING OUR PEOPLE Strengthening the SP team spirit through a core teamwork programme of fun and challenging activities We continue to expand our talent pool through our scholarship programme SP’s industry leading performance is underpinned by its highly committed and energetic workforce. This is supported by an open and caring environment that encourages staff development and work-life harmony. With 6,400 staff in Singapore and Australia, enhancing our employees’ skills and knowledge are key to strengthening our core competencies and maintaining our exceptional performance. Strategic recruitment and succession planning continued to ensure we have the best talent in the right places to maintain our deep bench strength. To accelerate learning, SP uses blended learning, which combines classroom, on-the-job and e-learning, mentoring, simulations and collaboration. E-learning, such as eCourses for technicians on restoring power supply, is widely used to support business operations. SP’s pool of undergraduate scholars increased to 17 with the award of five scholarships in FY 07/08. Upon graduation, the scholars will begin a two-year programme to acquire operational and management experience through structured job rotations across the subsidiaries and functions. Their holistic training will also include attending technical, management and general development courses. SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 Growing Our Human Talent Throughout the organisation, SP invests in continuous staff training to hone our workforce expertise at all levels. During the year in review, each staff completed 48.7 training hours. From FY 07/08, employees pursuing part-time courses received financial assistance under the new personal development subsidy scheme. This supplements the Total Learning Plan where courses are fully sponsored by the company. 56 SP AusNet MD Nino Ficca (third from left) with Apprentice of the Year award recipients In Australia, SP AusNet recruited 35 trainees and apprentices for the electrical and gas network installation, maintenance and protection divisions. The 2007 intake also saw SP AusNet’s first female apprentice. SP AusNet co-funded bursaries for 13 engineering students and also continued its Skilling For The Future programme for senior high school students. SP AusNet was the main sponsor for the Victorian Energy Education and Training Programme, which promotes careers in the energy sector by offering students training in the energy industry. During the financial year, SPI (Australia) Assets’ Graduate Development Programme drew 59 engineering, finance and information systems graduates. To give staff international exposure and professional development opportunities, 11 SP and three SP AusNet staff received overseas postings ranging from three months to two years. Such attachments also facilitate the transfer of technical expertise and knowledge across countries. Motivating Superior Performance Our performance management system nurtures a culture of performance with a fair and robust reward system. Our staff work towards key performance indicators, and achievement of these targets determine their incentive payments. The exceptional achievements of individuals or teams are recognised and celebrated by the entire organisation at forums such as the Management Annual Plan. The highest accolade for employees is the Appreciation for Commitment and Excellence Award, which honours staff with excellent performance. In addition, SP PowerGrid and SP Services staff who provide outstanding customer service were also recognised and rewarded. A Caring Employer An employee engagement survey, conducted in FY 07/08, reached out to staff to understand their views on how to ensure working with the company is meaningful and work life is satisfying. SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 57 OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE The successful partnership between SP management and UPAGE representatives grew deeper in Malacca SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 58 SP’s Quality Life Programme today offers employees a host of sporting activities and advice on how to better manage work-life situations. In FY 07/08, new initiatives to engage staff included: • A HR Outreach Programme for staff to interact more easily with the HR team • An online Compliments Bank so staff can ‘publicly’ recognise colleagues who have gone the extra mile to help SP teams produce exceptional service • A one-day attachment scheme that allows staff to learn more about the work of colleagues in other subsidiaries or functions. To foster the SP team spirit, a core programme stressing teamwork through fun and challenging activities was organised for all staff. In Australia, SP AusNet formed the Diversity Initiatives Group to attract women into the engineering industry through strategic presence at schools and trade fairs, sponsorship of university programmes and creating a more conducive work environment for women. Two SP AusNet female staff were given engineering scholarships as part of the programme. SPI (Australia) Assets’ Learning and Organisation development team conducted over 100 workshops to help 1,500 employees adapt to change in the workplace. It also launched a ‘Leap into Life’ campaign to promote health and well-being at work and at home. Strong Management-Union Partnership SP continued to nurture its successful partnership with the Union of Power and Gas Employees (UPAGE) through open communication and mutual trust. In Oct 07, a Union-Management Seminar in Malacca enabled both parties to discuss employee and business issues extensively. The strong rapport facilitated the signing of a new Collective Agreement in Jun 07 featuring a better link between individual performance and rewards. SP believes a strong working relationship between management and UPAGE is key to sustaining its business competitiveness and positioning as an employer of choice. INFORMATION SYSTEMS EMPOWERING OPERATIONS The bulk processing project has helped IS staff ensure service quality and reliability to the various business units SP invests in Information Technology to automate key processes, empower the workforce and improve productivity. IT programs are closely aligned to business unit goals to ensure efficient execution of the business strategy. Common shared systems and infrastructure across the Group drive greater synergies. Our information systems infrastructure supports millions of transactions monthly, and is key to delivering superior customer service and operational efficiency. Automating Bulk Processes The Information Systems Data Centre, which operates on a 24-hour day, seven days a week, executes about 6,000 bulk processing jobs every night spanning different computing platforms. In Dec 07, work began on automating the scheduling and monitoring of such jobs. The first phase involving automating SP Services’ invoicing for contestable commercial customers and the entire Human Resource Management system was successfully implemented in Mar 08. Phase Two is progressing well and will automate various finance functions as well as SP Services’ customer management and billing functions for over a million non-contestable customers. The project has improved job processing efficiency and gives alerts of potential delays so that prompt action can be taken. It has also enabled the IS department to increase service reliability levels to the various business units. Work is in progress on upgrading the Group’s Financial and Logistics Information System. When completed in the last quarter of 2008, the project will provide more comprehensive management reporting to enable speedier decision making. In FY 07/08, SP’s corporate network achieved zero virus infection and internet intrusion. On-line systems availability and network up-time exceeded the targeted 99.8 per cent. Supporting The Gas Market IS has jointly developed a web-based IT system called the Gas Transportation System Solution (GTSS) to support the de-regulated market operations and facilitate trading of natural gas according to the business rules of the Gas Network Code. The system has been tested with PowerGas, and is now being piloted with the participants in the gas industry. The system implementation and opening of the gas market is scheduled for third quarter 2008. Post implementation, the application and technical support will be provided by the IS team.

The solution uses applied Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and Internet of Things (IoT) to reduce energy consumption in a building. It takes into consideration factors like occupancy and weather and optimises air-flow to evenly cool areas. SP partnered with 75F to customise and test the performance and viability of the solution for Singapore’s tropical environment. The solution was trialled for a year at Singapore Institute of Technology’s (SIT) campus at Dover, and the Mercatus Co-operative Limited’s corporate office at One Marina Boulevard in Raffles Place. Both locations achieved more than 30 per cent in energy savings, while improving comfort for occupants by ensuring that the indoor temperature, and air quality were optimal. With the validated outcomes, SP and 75F will offer the solution to customers in Singapore, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia. Air-conditioning contributes 60 per cent of a building’s electricity consumption. With buildings consuming a third of Singapore’s total electricity consumption 1 , this new solution will help Singapore reduce electricity consumption and support the goal of cutting national emissions intensity by 36 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Mr Brandon Chia, Head, Centre of Excellence, SP Group said: “SP Group has partnered with 75F on this micro-climate control solution that leverages A.I. and IoT. It enables customers to enjoy cooler comfort in buildings while lowering their carbon footprint. We look forward to developing more next-generation technologies to help customers in Singapore and the region save energy and cost.” The micro-climate control solution is a self-learning, intuitive building intelligence system that optimises and regulates air-conditioning in buildings to improve operational efficiency and occupant experience. The system’s central control unit divides large open spaces into smaller 1 Source: The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Super Low Energy Technology Roadmap Report 1 zones that balances the temperature, air flow, carbon dioxide (CO 2) within each zone. It also optimises the air-conditioning operation by using the least amount of energy to achieve the required comfort. Gaurav Burman, APAC President, 75F said: “Both 75F and SP are committed to saving energy and reducing the carbon footprint of commercial buildings. The Asia Pacific market, especially Singapore, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia, represent a huge opportunity given their economic growth, rising energy costs and the growing focus to improve occupant experience and operational efficiency. This partnership combines 75F’s award-winning technology with SP’s capabilities and track record in the region, allowing both companies to accelerate our growth.” SP’s partnership with 75F first started as part of SP’s Energy Advanced Research and Development (SPEAR) programme, under the SP Centre of Excellence (SP CoE). SP CoE is an initiative supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), and drives the research, development, and integration of cutting-edge solutions and next-generation technologies for Singapore’s energy infrastructure network. -Ends- Notes to Editor: About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

The solution uses applied Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and Internet of Things (IoT) to reduce energy consumption in a building. It takes into consideration factors like occupancy and weather and optimises air-flow to evenly cool areas. SP partnered with 75F to customise and test the performance and viability of the solution for Singapore’s tropical environment. The solution was trialled for a year at Singapore Institute of Technology’s (SIT) campus at Dover, and the Mercatus Co-operative Limited’s corporate office at One Marina Boulevard in Raffles Place. Both locations achieved more than 30 per cent in energy savings, while improving comfort for occupants by ensuring that the indoor temperature, and air quality were optimal. With the validated outcomes, SP and 75F will offer the solution to customers in Singapore, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia. Air-conditioning contributes 60 per cent of a building’s electricity consumption. With buildings consuming a third of Singapore’s total electricity consumption 1 , this new solution will help Singapore reduce electricity consumption and support the goal of cutting national emissions intensity by 36 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.

POWERING ECONOMIES delivering excellence FROM THE CHAIRMAN SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 “Today we have the scale and competencies, integration and execution skills, strong management and sound business strategy to achieve our vision to be a leading energy infrastructure company in the region.” NG KEE CHOE CHAIRMAN 04 FY 07/08 was a year of significant transformation for the Singapore Power Group. With the acquisition of the Alinta assets and businesses in Aug 07, we took an important step forward to realising our vision of becoming a leading energy utility company in the Asia Pacific region. Our asset base has now increased to S$29.0 billion, with two-thirds of our assets outside Singapore. We have also enlarged our business scale and increased our geographical and business diversification to further enhance the quality of our revenue stream. Our Group portfolio today spans regulated, contracted and non-regulated businesses across several Australian states and Singapore. We provide the complete range of transmission and distribution competencies covering underground, overhead and undersea cables and pipes. We also provide technical management consultancy services to other utility companies in China, the Gulf region and ASEAN. Financial Performance For the financial year ended 31 Mar 08, SP recorded S$1.09 billion net profit, including an exceptional gain from the sale of the Singapore Power Building. Group revenue rose four per cent to S$5.4 billion, while total assets grew 59 per cent to S$29.0 billion, mainly due to the inclusion of the Alinta assets and businesses acquired. The Group’s return on equity was a satisfactory 26 per cent. Delivering Excellence Our businesses were sharply focused on executing our strategy and delivering results. In Singapore, SP PowerAssets continued its intensive network infrastructure development to increase capacity to meet the future needs of the growing Singapore economy. SP PowerGrid again delivered exceptional network results in FY 07/08. It achieved one of the best network performance worldwide, surpassing its peers operating comparable underground networks. Singapore had one of the fewest outages among cities globally. This excellent performance was due to the adoption of cutting-edge condition monitoring technology, rigorous quality processes, and continuous investment in network infrastructure and staff development. SP PowerGrid rolled out a wireless remote equipment monitoring system in Singapore for the 6.6kV distribution network to facilitate faster supply restoration to residential customers. The project, which involves installing wireless monitoring systems at over 1,000 substations in high density areas, will complete by end 2009. Supporting The Gas Market In Sep 07, PowerGas was designated as the developer, owner and operator of Singapore’s first LNG terminal, extending its vital role as the country’s gas transporter. PowerGas is preparing to roll out a web-based IT system to manage the transportation of natural gas under the new market structure which will come into effect when the Energy Market Authority implements the new Gas Network Code in the third quarter of 2008. Striving For Customer Service Excellence SP Services tapped on technology to re-engineer its processes and improve customer service. Customers can now use SMS to request for utility connections. SP Services’ concerted efforts to enhance customer service has been duly recognised. Customers again ranked the company as providing the best customer service among major service providers in the country, in an independent annual customer satisfaction survey. SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 05 FROM THE CHAIRMAN Growing Internationally In Australia, following the acquisition of the Alinta assets and businesses, we have expanded our operations beyond Victoria, to Queensland and New South Wales and have become one of the largest energy infrastructure groups in the Asia Pacific. In addition to our core energy transmission and distribution businesses, we now provide competencies in asset development, construction and management services. Through SP Global Solutions, SP expanded its reach to more utility companies in China, the Gulf region and ASEAN. Empowering Our People The Group continued to invest in staff development to deepen our bench strength and improve further our industry leading performance levels. People Who Made It Possible We take pride in our high standards of corporate governance. We are fortunate to have highly experienced Board members who provide sound advice and guidance. I would like to thank them for their invaluable counsel. I also wish to extend my appreciation to Mr Keith Tay who retired from the Board at the SP Annual General Meeting in Jul 07, having served two terms. SP has benefited much from Mr Tay’s past contributions, particularly from his chairing of the Audit Committee. Our achievements would not have been possible without the support and cooperation of our stakeholders including our business partners. We deeply appreciate their contributions. And to all our employees, we thank them for their hard work and commitment to deliver another year of excellent performance and customer service. SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 In Singapore, our strong rapport with UPAGE (Union of Power and Gas Employees) facilitated the signing of a new Collective Agreement in Jun 07, featuring a better link between individual performance and rewards. We cherish our excellent management-union partnership, as this is key to sustaining our business competitiveness. Caring For The Community As part of our corporate social responsibility programme, the SP Heartware Fund raised S$3.4 million for the needy elderly from Oct 05 to end Mar 08 with the support of our business partners and staff. This surpassed our commitment to the Community Chest to raise S$3 million in three years. In Australia, our businesses invested considerable time and resources to promote environmental sustainability and preserve indigenous vegetation. The Future Today we have the scale and competencies, integration and execution skills, strong management and sound business strategy to achieve our vision to be a leading energy infrastructure company in the region. We are well positioned to assist the many growing economies expand their energy infrastructure and we stand ready to play a larger role in the international utility industry.

With the acquisition of Alinta assets and businesses through SPI (Australia) Assets Pty Ltd in Aug 07, SP has reached a watershed in its corporate history. Our S$29 billion asset base today is more than double our S$13.6 billion assets in 2002. Today, 70 per cent of our assets are overseas, compared to only 18 per cent five years ago. The Group has made great progress in just five years due to our four pillars of strength • Operational excellence • Financial strategies • Corporate finance capabilities • Human talent. Operational Excellence As the owner and operator of Singapore’s entire electricity and gas transmission and distribution networks, and some of Australia’s major electricity and gas networks, we take our responsibilities to the national and regional economies, and consumers seriously. The Group maintains very high standards of network performance. The Singapore electricity grid is one of the world’s best. On average, a consumer in the country experiences less than one supply interruption every 30 years, one of the lowest in the world. This has been made possible by the deployment of new network technologies especially in the areas of condition monitoring. We have also invested heavily in the renewal and expansion of our networks in Singapore and Australia to maintain high operational performance and meet the increasing energy needs of these economies. In the last five years, SP has spent S$4.3 billion in capital expenditure.

This is evident in the rigorous financial, corporate governance and risk management processes embedded in the Group. In line with our strategic focus, we have divested all our non-core assets and redeployed the proceeds to our core electricity and gas transmission and distribution businesses. With our continual focus on operational excellence, financial discipline and optimal capital structure, SP’s return on equity was 26 per cent for FY 07/08, including the sale of assets. SP’s financial strength has made it an established name in the global capital markets, enabling the Group to tap the equity and debt markets efficiently. Corporate Finance Due to the inherent market limitations in Singapore, we have looked overseas to realise our growth ambitions as well as to diversify our businesses. The substantial growth in our asset base has been driven by our international acquisition strategy that focuses on • The Group’s core competencies in electricity and gas transmission and distribution • Developed economies with established regulatory regimes and frameworks • Regulated and contracted businesses that provide predictable and regular cashflows. The acquired Alinta assets and businesses include the gas transmission pipelines in New South Wales and Queensland, a gas distribution network in New South Wales, an electricity distribution network in Victoria as well as significant asset management capabilities. These have increased our geographical and sectoral diversification in Australia. 10 Human Talent SP’s continued success depends on our people and their capabilities. Today, the Group has about 6,400 staff located in Singapore and Australia. To support our rapid growth, we have accelerated efforts to recruit talent, nurture and develop our people. Some of the initiatives include • Apprenticeship programmes • Scholarship schemes • Post-graduate programmes • International posting assignments. In fact, a key driver for the Alinta transaction was the addition of its pool of 2,400 management and staff to our workforce. The integration of these people into SP has substantially broadened our operational capabilities which now cover water utilities as well and the management of third party contracts. Delivering Excellence With our larger asset base and expanded capabilities spanning two countries, we are now in an ideal position to seize growth opportunities. We will continue to explore quality accretive opportunities in US, Europe and ASEAN that will create long term value for our shareholders.

Its S$6.8 billion fixed asset base comprises modern and robust networks at 400kV, 230kV and 66kV for transmission, and 22kV, 6.6kV and 400V for distribution. During the year in review, SP PowerAssets continued its intensive network infrastructure development, planning for additional capacity to meet the growing power needs of the Singapore economy. Investments were made to expand the transmission and distribution infrastructure. At the same time, progressive upgrading and renewal of existing equipment were carried out to ensure the continuity of the electricity grid’s excellent track record of high reliability. • The tunnel breakthrough for Harbour Drive-Labrador cable tunnel was achieved in Feb 08. This will enable the installation of 400kV and 230kV circuits to bring more power from the western to the central part of Singapore by 2009. • A 400kV circuit is being installed to further reinforce the 400kV transmission connection to the East. It will be commissioned by end 2008. • Three 230kV substation buildings are being constructed at Labrador, Marina South and Choa Chu Kang as part of the 230kV network development to cater for increasing load demand and renewal works. • Three 230/66kV 200MVA transformers were commissioned to meet load growth while six 230kV circuits are being installed to further enhance network security. • Several existing 66kV substations are being progressively upgraded as part of a network renewal programme to enhance reliability and maintain leading network performance. New substations being constructed to meet increasing load growth SP PowerAssets is also working on the development of two major cable tunnels for the future installation of transmission cables on the island. The project comprises a 17 km East-West tunnel and an 18 km North-South tunnel. These tunnels will accommodate multiple 400kV and 230kV circuits and are scheduled for completion in 2015. The tunnels will provide secure corridors for faster and more efficient installation of transmission cables as they avoid the problem of underground congestion from the various infrastructure services. Inconvenience to the public and road users will also be minimised as no excavation will be needed to lay new cables. Generally, cables installed in tunnels are more reliable as they are not exposed to the environment and are not vulnerable to excavation damage. Integrated Asset Management SP PowerAssets depends on an integrated approach in the lifecycle management of its network assets, balancing the need to maintain excellent network reliability with cost effectiveness. Its framework for optimising the lifecycle management of its asset base is guided by its Asset Management Policy manual.

In FY 07/08, according to international indices that measure electricity grid reliability, Singapore continued to be one of the global leaders in delivering excellent network performance. SP PowerGrid’s SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) score of 1.14 minutes and SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index) score of 0.02 showed that it continued to outperform its peers operating comparable underground networks. SAIDI measures the average duration of unplanned interruptions a consumer experiences in a year and SAIFI, the average number of such interruptions. SP PowerGrid’s network performance for FY 07/08 was well within the regulatory targets and better than the previous year’s. The exceptional performance was due to its strategic use of state-of-the-art equipment and cable condition monitoring technology, rigorous quality processes, and investment in network infrastructure and staff expertise. Condition Monitoring Technology SP PowerGrid’s comprehensive efforts in condition monitoring continued to contribute to better performance with 69 potential failures averted in FY 07/08. The Oscillating Wave Test System has prevented 74 potential 22kV and 6.6kV cable failures since it was introduced in Jan 06. SP PowerGrid collaborated with an international research centre to become the first to apply the technology in underground distribution cable inspection. Today, the oscillating wave test equipment is installed in specially designed vans to make it easy for its engineers to carry out site tests on underground cables in various parts of the island.

These interest groups meet regularly to share experiences in power quality management, the latest equipment and technologies. They form part of SP PowerGrid’s strategy of powering the economy by working closely with key industry groups to manage power quality together. SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 31 operations review SP POWERGRID With support from the Monetary Authority of Singapore and The Association of Banks, the interest group for the banking industry held its first meeting in Oct 07. The response from the banks was encouraging. In FY 07/08, SP PowerGrid held five meetings for the Semiconductor and Electronics, Pharmaceutical, and Chemical and Petrochemical groups. Power Quality Workshop SP PowerGrid conducted its fourth annual Power Systems Reliability & Quality Workshop in Feb 08. Fifty-two participants from manufacturing companies and government agencies learnt more about the latest technology and practices in maintenance, power quality and condition monitoring. Power quality is crucial in Singapore due to the large number of high tech industries with voltage sensitive equipment. At cutting-edge semiconductor wafer fabrication companies, pharmaceutical and petrochemical plants, a dip in the supply voltage for a fraction of a second can cause production stoppages. SP PowerGrid supports the growth of key industries in the country by working closely with the companies to help them achieve optimal power quality. At the workshop, participants also had the opportunity to try out condition monitoring equipment, harmonics and voltage dip mitigation devices. Checking the switchgear at a substation SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 32 The Geographical Mapping System provides real-time information on all electrical facilities on the island for SP PowerGrid staff ISO Certification SP PowerGrid obtained its ISO 9001:2000 certification in 2002. During the year in review, SP PowerGrid continued to comply with the ISO 9001:2000 standards for the development and management of its transmission network and achieved ISO 9001:2000 for the development and management of its distribution network. The Distribution Control & Customer Service section also achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification in Apr 07 for the operation, control and monitoring of the distribution network as well as the management of network incidents and customer calls. These certifications affirm SP PowerGrid’s institutionalised quality processes that drive consistently high performance standards. Preventing Cable Damage To enhance cable damage prevention efforts, cable protection management teams were formed for major worksites in the vicinity of underground 230kV and 400kV cables. The teams of managers from SP PowerGrid, principals and contractors meet regularly to discuss earthworks’ status and preventive measures to be taken at the worksites. The increased communication among the various parties has improved the coordination of joint efforts to avoid inadvertent cable damage.

This includes two onshore receiving facilities for the receipt of gas from Sumatra and Malaysia, and over 2,800 km of pipelines. PowerGas focuses on ensuring the efficient and reliable delivery of natural gas to power generation companies and industrial plants, and town gas to commercial and residential customers. The year in review saw PowerGas develop an IT system for the commencement of the new gas framework. Major pipeline extensions were also completed to deliver gas to new areas of industrial and population growth. Major Transmission Projects PowerGas continued to expand its gas transmission infrastructure to serve major industrial customers in Jurong and Tuas. Its transmission pipeline to deliver natural gas to the Pfizer tri-generation plant in Tuas South was completed in Oct 07. In Jan 08, PowerGas began operating the Attap Valley Onshore Receiving Facility, which receives natural gas from Malaysia through an undersea pipeline from the international border to Singapore. This follows the restructuring and liberalisation of Singapore’s gas market where PowerGas as the Transporter is slated to own and manage the entire gas pipeline network. SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 35 operations review POWERGAS Pipeline extension involving hot-tapping works to connect a branch line to the North-South transmission pipeline was completed in Jan 08. The new pipeline delivers natural gas to the Mandai Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) refuelling station, which is owned and operated by a taxi company. Vehicles that use CNG as fuel emit less pollution. Pressure Uprating And Volume Controls The installation of the First Stage Filter and Pressure Regulation in the Sakra Onshore Receiving Facility (ORF) was completed in Apr 08. This involves upgrading the pressure rating of the Sakra ORF to the same pressure rating as upstream facilities. Volumetric control is also being installed at Sakra ORF to prepare for the implementation of the Gas Network Code. The volumetric control will enable the injection of precise volumes of gas into the gas network according to the shippers’ quantity specifications. Expanding The Distribution Network At the distribution level, expansion of the natural gas network continued with the installation of a further 4.1 km of pipelines to serve several industrial customers. These included a semiconductor wafer fabrication plant in Woodlands Tech Park which was commissioned in Mar 08. The ultrasonic meter measures natural gas volumes FY 07/08 also saw the renewal and reinforcement of 15 km of pipelines and the diversion of 4.3 km of pipelines affected by the Mass Rapid Transit extension works. SP ANNUAL REPORT 2007 36 Two new offtake stations were also built to inject more gas into the distribution network to meet increasing demand. Enhancing The Town Gas Network During the year in review, the town gas network was extended to reach more customers in new public housing estates as well as private condominiums and commercial buildings. In Nov 07, a new supply pipeline was built in Changi to deliver town gas to several commercial customers. Increased Metering Capabilities PowerGas’ meter calibration facility was accredited under the Singapore Accreditation Council-Singapore Laboratory Accreditation Scheme for volumetric gas meters in Oct 07. The meter laboratory is the only certified third party gas meter calibration facility in Southeast Asia. With the accreditation, PowerGas can now test and calibrate gas meters for its industrial customers with flow ranges up to 2,500 cubic metres per hour. Calibrating gas meters at the Meter Laboratory New Gas Industry Framework PowerGas has developed a web-based IT system called the Gas Transportation System Solution (GTSS) to manage the transportation of natural gas according to the rules of the Gas Network Code. Training on the system for market participants has been completed. The IT system is undergoing operational trial which is expected to end in the third quarter of 2008. terminal, including basic design and front-end engineering to prepare the tender specifications. The proposed terminal will initially be designed with a capacity of three million tonnes a year, with provision to expand to double this capacity. The complex will include a jetty, unloading facilities, storage tanks, regasification equipment and associated civil and utilities infrastructure. LNG Terminal In Sep 07, the Ministry of Trade and Industry designated PowerGas as developer, owner and operator of Singapore’s first Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal. It cited synergistic benefits for PowerGas to operate the proposed terminal on Jurong Island, given its current role as the gas transporter and system operator in Singapore. PowerGas subsequently concluded a LNG Terminal Agreement with the Energy Market Authority in Apr 08. It has begun various work streams on the proposed LNG Ensuring High Reliability To maintain PowerGas’ track record of exceptional reliability in gas delivery, rigorous cathodic protection audits are carried out throughout the year to ensure that its underground transmission pipelines are adequately protected from corrosion.

His team was carrying out electricity meter replacement works then. In this unique situation, when the customer was informed that the power supply will be temporarily disrupted during the replacement, she requested for a mobile electrical generator to keep her coral tanks maintained at four degrees Celsius during the servicing period. Handling a multitude of customer requests, is part and parcel of stakeholder management in Razali’s job at SP Group (SP). Over his 25 years with SP, the Vice President of SP Services’ Metering Branch has seen the evolution of analogue electricity meters manually read by meter readers to smart meters that can now be monitored remotely. As of May 2022, Razali and his team have deployed over 650,000 smart electricity meters islandwide. In the next few years, all 1.4 million residential households in Singapore will be equipped with smart meters. “I cherish this experience the most as we took great lengths to incept this idea and eventually see it come to fruition. As this project had a nation-wide impact, I remembered we went to the Parliament to present our plans to the Mayors, and convinced the relevant agencies to support our deployment plan.” Razali now has another ambitious task ahead of him. Besides rolling out smart electricity meters nationwide, his team also won the contract for Singapore’s first large-scale smart water meter programme for PUB in Apr 2021. Over the next 15 years, they will be developing the metering system, enhancing the wireless communications network, deploying, operating and maintaining over 300,000 smart water meters. “We faced intense competition against strong contenders and various challenges during the tender process. Our strong teamwork and expertise in smart electricity meter deployment has enabled us to secure this strategic partnership. The late-night calls with counterparts from different parts of the world were all worth it!” Interestingly, his career options after graduating as an electrical engineering graduate from Nanyang Technological University were between a cadet pilot at a leading airline and an engineer at SP. He received SP’s letter of offer on the day of his final round of interview for the cadet pilot position. “I just went with my gut feel and I am convinced now looking back, it was meant to be.” he recalled fondly.   Razali with his colleagues from the metering team at the old St James District Office in 2011. Back in the late 90s, Razali’s key responsibilities included working with contractors to install and maintain meters for residential and commercial customers, procure new meters, handle project tenders and manage customer feedback.  The implementation of smart electricity meters in Singapore has been the highlight of his career. Razali with colleagues from SP Services and SP Digital on an overseas trip to Itron’s office in San Francisco, to adopt best practices from the implementation of the US’ smart meter programme. Before the opening of Singapore’s electricity retail market in 2014, Razali and his team travelled to San Francisco and Melbourne to learn how these cities deployed smart meters successfully. “The study trip shortened our learning curve and prevented potential pitfalls.” SP is one of the first few utility companies in the world that has separated its communication network card from the meter. In other parts of the world, communication modules are integrated within the meters. Hence, if the communication part fails, the entire meter must be replaced. In Singapore, the decision was to adopt a “modular” structure for parts to be replaced separately if they are faulty. This will not only save cost, but also eliminate supply interruption and reduce inconvenience to the customers. CEO of SP Services Law Chin Ho (sixth from left) and Razali with the SP Services team that won the contract for Singapore’s first large-scale smart water meter programme for PUB in Apr 2021. Razali is thankful for all the growth opportunities at SP and is committed to continue rising to the challenges in the evolving energy industry. “I wake up every day looking forward to the next challenge at work. I am thankful for the wonderful team support. We are constantly innovating and finding solutions to problems. It gives me a huge sense of job satisfaction!” Volunteering trip with SP colleagues in Cambodia in 2015. In his free time, Razali enjoys travelling for nature walks, trekking, snorkelling, and exploring other types of land and sea activities. He also finds meaning in organising charity trips to children’s orphanages in Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia and has even rallied his colleagues to join him in distributing essential items for these vulnerable communities. With borders reopening, Razali hopes to revive this initiative very soon!

His team was carrying out electricity meter replacement works then. In this unique situation, when the customer was informed that the power supply will be temporarily disrupted during the replacement, she requested for a mobile electrical generator to keep her coral tanks maintained at four degrees Celsius during the servicing period. Handling a multitude of customer requests, is part and parcel of stakeholder management in Razali’s job at SP Group (SP). Over his 25 years with SP, the Vice President of SP Services’ Metering Branch has seen the evolution of analogue electricity meters manually read by meter readers to smart meters that can now be monitored remotely. As of May 2022, Razali and his team have deployed over 650,000 smart electricity meters islandwide. In the next few years, all 1.4 million residential households in Singapore will be equipped with smart meters. “I cherish this experience the most as we took great lengths to incept this idea and eventually see it come to fruition. As this project had a nation-wide impact, I remembered we went to the Parliament to present our plans to the Mayors, and convinced the relevant agencies to support our deployment plan.” Razali now has another ambitious task ahead of him. Besides rolling out smart electricity meters nationwide, his team also won the contract for Singapore’s first large-scale smart water meter programme for PUB in Apr 2021. Over the next 15 years, they will be developing the metering system, enhancing the wireless communications network, deploying, operating and maintaining over 300,000 smart water meters. “We faced intense competition against strong contenders and various challenges during the tender process. Our strong teamwork and expertise in smart electricity meter deployment has enabled us to secure this strategic partnership. The late-night calls with counterparts from different parts of the world were all worth it!” Interestingly, his career options after graduating as an electrical engineering graduate from Nanyang Technological University were between a cadet pilot at a leading airline and an engineer at SP. He received SP’s letter of offer on the day of his final round of interview for the cadet pilot position. “I just went with my gut feel and I am convinced now looking back, it was meant to be.” he recalled fondly.   Razali with his colleagues from the metering team at the old St James District Office in 2011. Back in the late 90s, Razali’s key responsibilities included working with contractors to install and maintain meters for residential and commercial customers, procure new meters, handle project tenders and manage customer feedback.  The implementation of smart electricity meters in Singapore has been the highlight of his career. Razali with colleagues from SP Services and SP Digital on an overseas trip to Itron’s office in San Francisco, to adopt best practices from the implementation of the US’ smart meter programme. Before the opening of Singapore’s electricity retail market in 2014, Razali and his team travelled to San Francisco and Melbourne to learn how these cities deployed smart meters successfully. “The study trip shortened our learning curve and prevented potential pitfalls.” SP is one of the first few utility companies in the world that has separated its communication network card from the meter. In other parts of the world, communication modules are integrated within the meters. Hence, if the communication part fails, the entire meter must be replaced. In Singapore, the decision was to adopt a “modular” structure for parts to be replaced separately if they are faulty. This will not only save cost, but also eliminate supply interruption and reduce inconvenience to the customers. CEO of SP Services Law Chin Ho (sixth from left) and Razali with the SP Services team that won the contract for Singapore’s first large-scale smart water meter programme for PUB in Apr 2021. Razali is thankful for all the growth opportunities at SP and is committed to continue rising to the challenges in the evolving energy industry. “I wake up every day looking forward to the next challenge at work. I am thankful for the wonderful team support. We are constantly innovating and finding solutions to problems. It gives me a huge sense of job satisfaction!” Volunteering trip with SP colleagues in Cambodia in 2015. In his free time, Razali enjoys travelling for nature walks, trekking, snorkelling, and exploring other types of land and sea activities. He also finds meaning in organising charity trips to children’s orphanages in Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia and has even rallied his colleagues to join him in distributing essential items for these vulnerable communities.

At no cost to customers, these meters that use digital technologies to monitor water usage and leaks will be rolled out to homes as well as commercial and industrial buildings at seven locations, said national water agency PUB yesterday. The locations are the new housing estates of Tampines North and Tengah, Bukit Batok, Hougang, Jurong West, Tampines and Tuas. The first phase of PUB’s smart water meter programme is set to be completed by 2023. The award of the estimated $123.7 million project to the subsidiary of SP Group follows an open tender exercise which attracted seven local and foreign tenderers. PUB added that SP Services was selected as it demonstrated a strong track record and the necessary technical resource capability to undertake this project, alongside its network solutions provider Itron’s experience in deploying nearly 800,000 smart water meters in Baltimore and Cleveland in the US. SP Services will be responsible for the supply and installation of the smart meters and supporting infrastructure, as well as their operation and maintenance for 15 years. Households and businesses in the first phase of the programme will receive notification letters from PUB prior to the installation. “In selecting these locations, PUB had considered a range of factors including property mix, efficiency of deployment and the need to replace older conventional water meters,” it said. With the new meters, the agency can automatically access meter readings without the need for labour-intensive manual reads, which are currently conducted once every two months. Paired with a customer portal, users will be able to monitor leaks and high water usage in near real time. Pilot trials carried out in 800 households in Punggol and Yuhua in 2016 and 2018 found that about 10 per cent of them experienced leaks that often went unnoticed until they received a higher-than-usual water bill. With the smart meters, these households had savings of about 5 per cent from early leak detection and the adoption of watersaving habits. Following the first-phase roll out, PUB intends to review the results before implementing the programme for the rest of Singapore. Those who wish to find out more about the smart water meter programme can visit pub.gov.sg/smartwatermeterprogramme. aqing@sph.com.sg The smart meters use digital technologies to monitor water usage and leaks.

In the second part, SP will also be responsible for the operations and maintenance of the smart water metering system for 15 years, including operations support, cloud-hosted system maintenance, metering field services and network communications services. Mr Stanley Huang, Group CEO, SP Group, said: “In deploying a smart water metering system for Singapore, SP Group is building on our track record in establishing and operating our nation’s island-wide smart electricity metering system. Coupled with our long-standing partnership with PUB, we are well-positioned to enhance the value of services to customers and contribute to advancing Singapore’s smart nation initiative across all utilities services.” 1 The seven locations are Bukit Batok, Hougang, Jurong West, Tampines, Tuas and new towns Tampines North and Tengah. 1 With smart water meters, customers can access near real-time consumption data to better manage and make decisions in respect of their water usage. Currently, customers on the nationwide smart electricity meter network are already benefitting from this feature. To date, SP has installed more than 500,000 2 smart electricity meters across Singapore and is on track to complete installation for all 1.4 million households by 2024. The smart water meters will connect wirelessly to SP’s existing Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to transmit meter information. SP can also leverage its existing AMI network to scale up future deployment of the smart water meters. -Ends- About SP Group SP Group is a leading utilities group in the Asia Pacific, enabling a low-carbon, smart energy future for its customers.

SP Group (SP) is partnering Mercatus Co-operative Limited (Mercatus) to deploy SP Digital’s Green Energy Tech (GET™) solutions to Mercatus’ properties at AMK Hub, One Marina Boulevard and Jurong Point. SP’s digital solutions will help Mercatus enhance its operational efficiency, enabling it to deliver greater value to its tenants while advancing its own sustainability agenda. SP will deploy GET™ Insights and GET™ TenantCare to provide Mercatus with a more seamless utilities management experience while it makes informed decisions relating to building performance, sustainability and occupant well-being. GET™ Insights will also enable Mercatus to integrate different building systems and diverse data sources for an overview of the energy aspects of the three buildings. This will help Mercatus identify and forecast usage patterns as well as detect anomalies early to prevent wastage. As GET™ TenantCare leverages Internet of Things (IoT) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), SP has deployed an AMI consisting of more than 700 smart electricity meters at the three Mercatus properties. With the smart meters’ capability of real time and advanced monitoring, along with the cloud-based tenant utilities management software, Mercatus can then translate the data into actionable insights to uncover potential pathways to boost energy efficiency. Through SP’s suite of digital solutions, tenants can look forward to greater convenience and a more seamless approach when engaging with Mercatus, contributing to a stronger landlord-tenant relationship.

His team was carrying out electricity meter replacement works then. In this unique situation, when the customer was informed that the power supply will be temporarily disrupted during the replacement, she requested for a mobile electrical generator to keep her coral tanks maintained at four degrees Celsius during the servicing period. Handling a multitude of customer requests, is part and parcel of stakeholder management in Razali’s job at SP Group (SP). Over his 25 years with SP, the Vice President of SP Services’ Metering Branch has seen the evolution of analogue electricity meters manually read by meter readers to smart meters that can now be monitored remotely. As of May 2022, Razali and his team have deployed over 650,000 smart electricity meters islandwide. In the next few years, all 1.4 million residential households in Singapore will be equipped with smart meters. “I cherish this experience the most as we took great lengths to incept this idea and eventually see it come to fruition. As this project had a nation-wide impact, I remembered we went to the Parliament to present our plans to the Mayors, and convinced the relevant agencies to support our deployment plan.” Razali now has another ambitious task ahead of him. Besides rolling out smart electricity meters nationwide, his team also won the contract for Singapore’s first large-scale smart water meter programme for PUB in Apr 2021. Over the next 15 years, they will be developing the metering system, enhancing the wireless communications network, deploying, operating and maintaining over 300,000 smart water meters. “We faced intense competition against strong contenders and various challenges during the tender process. Our strong teamwork and expertise in smart electricity meter deployment has enabled us to secure this strategic partnership. The late-night calls with counterparts from different parts of the world were all worth it!” Interestingly, his career options after graduating as an electrical engineering graduate from Nanyang Technological University were between a cadet pilot at a leading airline and an engineer at SP. He received SP’s letter of offer on the day of his final round of interview for the cadet pilot position. “I just went with my gut feel and I am convinced now looking back, it was meant to be.” he recalled fondly.   Razali with his colleagues from the metering team at the old St James District Office in 2011. Back in the late 90s, Razali’s key responsibilities included working with contractors to install and maintain meters for residential and commercial customers, procure new meters, handle project tenders and manage customer feedback.  The implementation of smart electricity meters in Singapore has been the highlight of his career. Razali with colleagues from SP Services and SP Digital on an overseas trip to Itron’s office in San Francisco, to adopt best practices from the implementation of the US’ smart meter programme. Before the opening of Singapore’s electricity retail market in 2014, Razali and his team travelled to San Francisco and Melbourne to learn how these cities deployed smart meters successfully. “The study trip shortened our learning curve and prevented potential pitfalls.” SP is one of the first few utility companies in the world that has separated its communication network card from the meter. In other parts of the world, communication modules are integrated within the meters. Hence, if the communication part fails, the entire meter must be replaced. In Singapore, the decision was to adopt a “modular” structure for parts to be replaced separately if they are faulty. This will not only save cost, but also eliminate supply interruption and reduce inconvenience to the customers. CEO of SP Services Law Chin Ho (sixth from left) and Razali with the SP Services team that won the contract for Singapore’s first large-scale smart water meter programme for PUB in Apr 2021. Razali is thankful for all the growth opportunities at SP and is committed to continue rising to the challenges in the evolving energy industry. “I wake up every day looking forward to the next challenge at work. I am thankful for the wonderful team support. We are constantly innovating and finding solutions to problems. It gives me a huge sense of job satisfaction!” Volunteering trip with SP colleagues in Cambodia in 2015. In his free time, Razali enjoys travelling for nature walks, trekking, snorkelling, and exploring other types of land and sea activities. He also finds meaning in organising charity trips to children’s orphanages in Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia and has even rallied his colleagues to join him in distributing essential items for these vulnerable communities. With borders reopening, Razali hopes to revive this initiative very soon!

His team was carrying out electricity meter replacement works then. In this unique situation, when the customer was informed that the power supply will be temporarily disrupted during the replacement, she requested for a mobile electrical generator to keep her coral tanks maintained at four degrees Celsius during the servicing period. Handling a multitude of customer requests, is part and parcel of stakeholder management in Razali’s job at SP Group (SP). Over his 25 years with SP, the Vice President of SP Services’ Metering Branch has seen the evolution of analogue electricity meters manually read by meter readers to smart meters that can now be monitored remotely. As of May 2022, Razali and his team have deployed over 650,000 smart electricity meters islandwide. In the next few years, all 1.4 million residential households in Singapore will be equipped with smart meters. “I cherish this experience the most as we took great lengths to incept this idea and eventually see it come to fruition. As this project had a nation-wide impact, I remembered we went to the Parliament to present our plans to the Mayors, and convinced the relevant agencies to support our deployment plan.” Razali now has another ambitious task ahead of him. Besides rolling out smart electricity meters nationwide, his team also won the contract for Singapore’s first large-scale smart water meter programme for PUB in Apr 2021. Over the next 15 years, they will be developing the metering system, enhancing the wireless communications network, deploying, operating and maintaining over 300,000 smart water meters. “We faced intense competition against strong contenders and various challenges during the tender process. Our strong teamwork and expertise in smart electricity meter deployment has enabled us to secure this strategic partnership. The late-night calls with counterparts from different parts of the world were all worth it!” Interestingly, his career options after graduating as an electrical engineering graduate from Nanyang Technological University were between a cadet pilot at a leading airline and an engineer at SP. He received SP’s letter of offer on the day of his final round of interview for the cadet pilot position. “I just went with my gut feel and I am convinced now looking back, it was meant to be.” he recalled fondly.   Razali with his colleagues from the metering team at the old St James District Office in 2011. Back in the late 90s, Razali’s key responsibilities included working with contractors to install and maintain meters for residential and commercial customers, procure new meters, handle project tenders and manage customer feedback.  The implementation of smart electricity meters in Singapore has been the highlight of his career. Razali with colleagues from SP Services and SP Digital on an overseas trip to Itron’s office in San Francisco, to adopt best practices from the implementation of the US’ smart meter programme. Before the opening of Singapore’s electricity retail market in 2014, Razali and his team travelled to San Francisco and Melbourne to learn how these cities deployed smart meters successfully. “The study trip shortened our learning curve and prevented potential pitfalls.” SP is one of the first few utility companies in the world that has separated its communication network card from the meter. In other parts of the world, communication modules are integrated within the meters. Hence, if the communication part fails, the entire meter must be replaced. In Singapore, the decision was to adopt a “modular” structure for parts to be replaced separately if they are faulty. This will not only save cost, but also eliminate supply interruption and reduce inconvenience to the customers. CEO of SP Services Law Chin Ho (sixth from left) and Razali with the SP Services team that won the contract for Singapore’s first large-scale smart water meter programme for PUB in Apr 2021. Razali is thankful for all the growth opportunities at SP and is committed to continue rising to the challenges in the evolving energy industry. “I wake up every day looking forward to the next challenge at work. I am thankful for the wonderful team support. We are constantly innovating and finding solutions to problems. It gives me a huge sense of job satisfaction!” Volunteering trip with SP colleagues in Cambodia in 2015. In his free time, Razali enjoys travelling for nature walks, trekking, snorkelling, and exploring other types of land and sea activities. He also finds meaning in organising charity trips to children’s orphanages in Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia and has even rallied his colleagues to join him in distributing essential items for these vulnerable communities. With borders reopening, Razali hopes to revive this initiative very soon!

At no cost to customers, these meters that use digital technologies to monitor water usage and leaks will be rolled out to homes as well as commercial and industrial buildings at seven locations, said national water agency PUB yesterday. The locations are the new housing estates of Tampines North and Tengah, Bukit Batok, Hougang, Jurong West, Tampines and Tuas. The first phase of PUB’s smart water meter programme is set to be completed by 2023. The award of the estimated $123.7 million project to the subsidiary of SP Group follows an open tender exercise which attracted seven local and foreign tenderers. PUB added that SP Services was selected as it demonstrated a strong track record and the necessary technical resource capability to undertake this project, alongside its network solutions provider Itron’s experience in deploying nearly 800,000 smart water meters in Baltimore and Cleveland in the US. SP Services will be responsible for the supply and installation of the smart meters and supporting infrastructure, as well as their operation and maintenance for 15 years. Households and businesses in the first phase of the programme will receive notification letters from PUB prior to the installation. “In selecting these locations, PUB had considered a range of factors including property mix, efficiency of deployment and the need to replace older conventional water meters,” it said. With the new meters, the agency can automatically access meter readings without the need for labour-intensive manual reads, which are currently conducted once every two months. Paired with a customer portal, users will be able to monitor leaks and high water usage in near real time. Pilot trials carried out in 800 households in Punggol and Yuhua in 2016 and 2018 found that about 10 per cent of them experienced leaks that often went unnoticed until they received a higher-than-usual water bill. With the smart meters, these households had savings of about 5 per cent from early leak detection and the adoption of watersaving habits. Following the first-phase roll out, PUB intends to review the results before implementing the programme for the rest of Singapore.
