Chongqing, August 1 2016 – Singapore Power (SP) today signed an agreement with Chongqing Yuzhong municipal government to implement technological solutions for energysaving and emission-reducing initiatives. It will draw upon SP’s experience in operating an advanced energy-efficient cooling network that delivers as much as 40 per cent energy savings for its customers in the major financial and convention centre in Marina Bay, Singapore. These sustainable solutions from Singapore will contribute towards creating a high quality, urban lifestyle for residents of Chongqing.

1. Hu Wantai, Deputy Secretary and Governor of Yuzhong District, Chongqing, said: "Singapore Power, as a leading energy supply company, is committed to providing customers with reliable, efficient and world-class energy utility services, while looking at sustainable developments. The signing of the strategic cooperation agreement with government of Yuzhong District will bring advanced ideas and experience to the district, providing strong support for industrial upgrading and urban construction. The Yuzhong District government will also uphold the principle of ‘complementing strengths and promoting cooperation for mutual development’ to provide high quality government services and a conducive environment for enterprise development, which will result in a brighter future for Yuzhong District."
2. SP’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr Wong Kim Yin, said, “We are privileged to contribute towards the sustainability goals of Chongqing city. In our first project at Raffles City Chongqing, we look forward to providing our expertise and experience from Singapore in running a world-class energy-efficient cooling network. This will contribute towards saving energy and reducing carbon emissions, enabling residents in Chongqing to enjoy a green, high quality urban lifestyle. This will serve the drive in the city and the country towards urbanisation, clean development and a sustainable future.”
3. Last year, SP entered an agreement to provide district cooling services for the upcoming Raffles City Chongqing development which will be completed in 2018. SP will design, build, own and operate an advanced energy-efficient cooling system for Raffles City Chongqing – a strategically located integrated development project in the heart of Chongqing’s popular Yuzhong district where the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers meet. Raffles City Chongqing is co-developed by renowned property developers, CapitaLand and Ascendas-Singbridge.
4. Raffles City Chongqing is expected to achieve substantial savings in energy consumption, compared to conventional building chiller plants. Tenants of Raffles City Chongqing will also be able to enjoy the same round-the-clock availability and high reliability as the consumers in Marina Bay Singapore.
5. Mr Lucas Loh, Chief Executive Officer, CapitaLand China, said: “On behalf of CapitaLand Group, I extend my heartiest congratulations to Singapore Power and Chongqing’s Yuzhong District government on their strategic partnership to explore new opportunities in sustainable projects. Chongqing is part of CapitaLand’s five key city clusters in China and we have six properties in this Chinese city with a combined gross floor area of about 1 million square metres. The biggest of these is Raffles City Chongqing, an integrated development comprising retail, residential, serviced residence and hotel components that is under development in Yuzhong District on the prestigious Chao Tian Men site – considered the crown jewel of Chongqing.
6. “Befitting Raffles City Chongqing’s iconic status, we have partnered Singapore Power to provide an advanced district cooling system for the integrated development, which will generate substantial energy savings and utility cost avoidance. We have also tied up with Yuzhong District government to set up a Sino-Singapore Collaboration Centre here to bridge companies to the immense growth opportunities in this fast-growing city. With the rising prominence of Chongqing under the ‘One Belt, One Road’ initiative and as the location of the third China-Singapore government-led project, there is tremendous growth potential in the sustainability sector that both Singapore Power and Yuzhong District can harness. CapitaLand looks forward to seeing all the businesses and people in Yuzhong District benefitting from this synergistic partnership.”
7. With the Raffles City Chongqing as SP’s first foray into China, SP’s success story will definitely continue in China, especially with good partnership between government agencies and the private sector. SP looks forward to helping more enterprises achieve energy efficiency and savings through more cooperation and collaborative opportunities in the future.

新加坡能源集团与重庆渝中区政府签订合作备忘录 为渝地区带来高效能源解决方案

中国，重庆 2016 年 8 月 1 日—新加坡能源集团(SP)今日与重庆渝中区市政府正式签署协议， 为重庆地区带来先进的节能减排技术解决方案。此前，新加坡能源为新加坡滨海湾工程打造的 区域供冷系统为整个滨海湾商务中心带来高达 40%的节能效果。在此基础之上，新加坡能源 将借鉴已有的实务经验及先进的可持续发展解决方案，为重庆居民打造高品质的绿色城市生活 方式。

重庆市渝中区委副书记、重庆市渝中区区长扈万泰表示：“新加坡能源集团作为首屈一指的能 源供应企业，一直致力于为客户提供可靠、高效以及可持续发展的世界一流能源公用事业服 务。此次与渝中区政府签订战略合作协议，必将为渝中区带来先进的理念和经验，为渝中的产 业升级、城市建设等方面提供有力的支持。渝中区政府也将秉持‘优势互补、促进合作、共同 发展’的原则，为企业发展提供优质的政务服务和发展环境，携手共赢，建设渝中美好的明 天。”

新加坡能源集团总裁黄锦贤先生表示：“我们很荣幸能够为重庆市的可持续发展做出贡献。重 庆来福士广场作为新加坡能源集团在中国的第一个项目，我们希望以来自新加坡的先进的工程 能力和实务经验提供一个世界级的高效节能制冷网。这将有助于城市节能减排的创新发展，并 为重庆居民打造一个绿色、高品质的城市生活方式。新的节能减排解决方案将推进城市化、清 洁及可持续发展的进程。”

2015 年，新加坡能源公司(SP)与凯德集团签署协议，为位于两江交汇处中心地带的重庆来福 士广场提供区域供冷工程。新加坡能源为重庆来福士广场设计、建造、持有并运营尖端高效节 能供冷系统。该区域供冷系统将通过整合式的地下管网，致力为消费者提供优质的空调服务项 目。重庆来福士广场项目由著名地产商凯德集团及星桥控股共同开发，并将于 2018 年竣工。

相较传统式的内置供冷器机组，新加坡能源的尖端高效节能供冷网预计可实现大幅度能源节 省。 重庆来福士广场的租户将比照新加坡滨海湾的消费者，同样享有高度可靠的 24 小时能源 供应。

凯德中国首席执行官罗臻毓先生表示：“我代表凯德集团，对新加坡能源集团与重庆市渝中区 政府在可持续发展项目建立的战略合作伙伴关系表示衷心地祝贺。重庆是凯德集团在中国的五 4 个主要城市群之一。目前，凯德集团已经在中国的六个城市建有建筑面积约百万平方米的综合 体项目，其中规模最大的是就是位于正在蓬勃发展的重庆市朝天门渝中区地段的重庆来福士广 场项目，它是一个包括了零售，住宅，服务式公寓及酒店等服务的综合商区。”

“为了配合来福士广场标志性的地位，我们与新加坡能源集团合作为综合体提供了先进的区 域供冷系统，这将大大节省能效及资源成本。我们还与重庆市渝中区政府共同设立了中国 - 新 加坡合作中心，让企业在这个快速发展的城市中探索新的机遇。随着“一带一路”政策的兴 起，重庆市作为第三个中新政府主导项目地区，其发展显得越发重要。无论是对于新加坡能源 集团还是重庆市渝中区政府，在城市可持续发展领域都存在着巨大的增长潜力。我们希望位于 渝中区的企业和居民可以从此项合作中切身受益。”

随着重庆来福士广场项目的开展，特别是在政府机构与相关部门的支持与帮助之下，新加坡能 源集团将持续为中国带来行之有效的节能减排解决方案，并期待在未来有机会帮助更多企业实 现节能减排。
