01 SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE In this year’s review, we present a sustainability report as a key pillar. It is an account of progress towards the United Nations Sustainability Development Goal 7 to ensure access of reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. It also reflects our 30-30- 30 target to achieve at least 30 per cent added value for our customers, and reduce our carbon footprint by another 30 per cent by the year 2030. SECURING OUR FUTURE At the core of our mission to be reliable and efficient, and improve the quality of life, we are building a strong foundation to provide a sustainable future for our customers. A STRONG FINANCIAL STANDING Our sustainability efforts are anchored on a robust and stable financial infrastructure. For the year closing 31 March 2018, we achieved a net profit of S$1.022 billion. This includes the contribution of S$177.4 million from our Australian associates. In September 2017, SP PowerAssets (SPPA) successfully priced the tightest spread for a Singapore corporate bond in a decade with our new 10-year 144A/Reg S US$600 million bond. The bond generated an order book of US$1.9 billion, a testament to investors’ confidence in SPPA’s credit. The funds will be utilised to finance the renewal and upgrading of our infrastructure projects, allowing Singapore’s power grid to remain one of the most reliable and efficient in the world. 02 SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Net Profit After Tax (S$ million) Revenue (S$ million) 924 949 1,022 3,964 3,722 4,068 FY2015/16 FY2016/17 FY2017/18 FY2015/16 FY2016/17 FY2017/18 Total Assets (S$ million) Shareholder’s Equity (S$ million) 16,716 17,806 19,162 9,088 9,793 10,224 FY2015/16 FY2016/17 FY2017/18 FY2015/16 FY2016/17 FY2017/18 Economic Value Added (EVA) (S$ million) Return on Equity (%) 300 256 293 10.5 10.1 10.2 FY2015/16 FY2016/17 FY2017/18 FY2015/16 FY2016/17 FY2017/18 03 SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE (CONTINUED) At the Sembcorp Marine Tuas Boulevard Yard, we are deploying a digital energysaving system that will reduce its consumption by up to 30 % REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT At the Sembcorp Marine Tuas Boulevard Yard, we are deploying a digital energy-saving system that will reduce its consumption by up to 30 per cent. The system combines 4.5 MegaWattpeak (MWp) solar panels – the largest single solar rooftop in a Southeast Asian shipyard. The solar rooftop will deliver up to 5.38GWh of energy annually – enough to power almost 1,120 four-room flats and reduce 2,500 tonnes of carbon emissions per year, equivalent to removing 530 vehicles off local roads. SP and Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) are building a multi-energy urban micro-grid at SIT’s campus at the upcoming Punggol Digital District, with a target to reach zero emission. Integrating gas, electricity and thermal energy into a unified smart energy network, the system can help SIT save energy and eliminate carbon emissions, equivalent to removing close to 2,000 vehicles off the roads. SP and SIT are also working on research in areas such as district energy models, converting waste to renewable energy and raising energy efficiency arounds the campus. 04 SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018 To promote greater integration of renewable energy sources onto the electricity grid, we have developed one of the world’s first global renewable energy trading platform, powered by blockchain technology. This platform enables buyers and producers of renewable energy to trade Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) in a simple, secure and costeffective manner. We are advancing towards 100 per cent electrification of our vehicle fleet by 2030. This is projected to reduce carbon emission by more than 30 per cent. To encourage greater adoption of electric vehicles in Singapore, we are collaborating with corporate partners to install charging infrastructure at their facilities for public use. DEVELOPING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TOGETHER We continue to invest in partnerships and seek innovative solutions to deliver greater value to our customers. The finale of the first global utilities accelerator programme, Free Electrons, saw us sign Memoranda of Understanding with two start-ups in the areas of digital solutions and renewables. To nurture future engineering talent, we have partnered Singapore Polytechnic to launch ideaBox, an idea translation lab that will turn promising ideas into real-world green applications. Students will be exposed to industry challenges, test new ideas and build cost-saving solutions for customers. 05 SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE (CONTINUED) SAVING ENERGY AND COST We are expanding our collaboration with CapitaLand in its Raffles City Chongqing project. Besides designing, building, owning and operating an advanced energy-efficient cooling system, we are integrating the water and ventilation systems for optimal heating system performance. This entire system is expected to deliver at least 50 per cent savings in energy consumption for the development. To help the community make energy-saving a way of life, we partnered the National Environment Agency in the nation-wide Energy-Saving Challenge in 2017. The three-month campaign drew close to 7,000 participants who saved 330,000 kWh of electricity – enough to power 1,000 three-room flats for more than a month. Participants could use the SP Utilities mobile app to track their consumption. This builds on our experience with South West Community Development Council (CDC) in the Power Savers for Charity @ South West campaign for the past two years. Last year, 25,000 residents in the district pledges to save energy and other resources. SP and South West CDC matched the pledges with a S$100,000 donation to underprivileged residents in the district. 06 SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018 HELPING CUSTOMERS CHANGE AND SAVE With the soft launch of the Open Electricity Market in Jurong in April 2018, we are helping customers change seamlessly to a retailer of their choice and enjoy savings. Those who choose to remain with SP can buy from the Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM) or at regulated tariff. Buying from WEM gives customers access to the prevailing electricity market prices which reflects the current demand and supply at half-hourly intervals. For the last two years, WEM prices have been approximately 30 per cent lower than the regulated tariff. Besides cost savings, we continue to tap on digital solutions to provide customers with greater convenience. We have been adding new features to the SP Utilities mobile app. With this, customers can make a more informed choice of a retailer that best suits their needs. This is supported by the installation of smart meters nationwide. As of March 2018, we have installed 140,000 smart meters. NETWORK RELIABILITY Regardless of customers’ choice of retailer, we will continue to operate the national power grid so they can enjoy the same reliable and efficient electricity supply. Last year, customers experienced 0.19 minute of electricity interruption and 0.48 minute of gas interruption. This places Singapore among the most reliable power networks in the world. To maintain this performance, we will utilise digital technology to remotely control all 6.6kV distribution network substations by 2020. We can monitor and attend to network incidents quickly, and efficiently. We are implementing the Smart Gas Network Deployment system over the next three years, which will result in better realtime awareness of network performance and improve response to impending incidents. Data analytics, including pre-emptive detection of gas leaks, will improve network safety and reliability. After six years, we are completing the construction of our cross-island Transmission Cable Tunnel project in 2018. This will enable the timely renewal of ageing assets more efficiently, with minimal disruption to the public. 07 SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2018 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE (CONTINUED) SERVICE WITH DEDICATION AND DISTINCTION Our efforts to transform our service culture and processes to keep pace with customer expectations were validated when SP Services won the prestigious Singapore Quality Award 2017. Our training arm, Singapore Institute of Power and Gas, earned a May Day 2018 award for digital transformation in being a first mover in facilitating training for power sector communities online. Our people also gave back to the community through more than 7,000 hours of volunteer service. Close to 30 per cent of our employees volunteered at least once in the past year. IN APPRECIATION We have set bold but necessary targets in the face of transformation around us. Everyone has a role to play in our journey towards a sustainable future. I am proud of the SP Group family for being adaptable and continuously learning and sharpening their skills. My deepest thanks to the Management and staff for their leadership and resolve in embracing our vision to secure our future together. I am grateful to our shareholder, business partners, union and regulator for their support. Finally, thank you to my fellow Board members for their guidance and counsel.

On behalf of the Board of Directors ──────────────────────── TAN SRI MOHD HASSAN MARICAN Chairman ──────────────────────── MR WONG KIM YIN Director / Group Chief Executive Officer 21 May 2018 4 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 March 2018 Independent Auditor’s Report For the financial year ended 31 March 2018 Independent Auditor’s Report to the Member of Singapore Power Limited Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Singapore Power Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) set out on pages 8 to 86, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet of the Group and the balance sheet of the Company as at 31 March 2018, the consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows of the Group and the income statement, statement of comprehensive income and statement of changes in equity of the Company for the financial year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group, the balance sheet, income statement, statement of comprehensive income and statement of changes in equity of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, Chapter 50 (“the Act”) and Financial Reporting Standards in Singapore (“FRSs”) so as to give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group and the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2018 and of the consolidated financial performance, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group and financial performance and changes in equity of the Company for the year ended on that date. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (“SSAs”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (“ACRA”) Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (“ACRA Code”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Other Information Management is responsible for other information. The other information comprises the directors’ statement. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 5 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Act and FRSs, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair financial statements and to maintain accountability of assets. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The directors’ responsibilities include overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. 6 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 21 May 2018. 1 Domicile and activities Singapore Power Limited (“the Company”) is incorporated in the Republic of Singapore and has its registered office at 2 Kallang Sector, SP Group Building, Singapore 349277. The immediate and ultimate holding company is Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. The principal activities of the Company are that of investment holding and provision of management support services. Its subsidiaries are engaged principally in the transmission and distribution of electricity and gas, provision of related consultancy services and investments in related projects. The consolidated financial statements relate to the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group) and the Group’s interests in associates and joint ventures (collectively referred to as Group entities). 2 Basis of preparation 2.1 Statement of compliance The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”). 2.2 Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies set out below. 2.3 Functional and presentation currency These financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Singapore dollars has been rounded to the nearest 0.1 million, unless otherwise stated. 2.4 Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 16 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is discussed below: Taxation The Group is subject to taxes mainly in Singapore and Australia. Significant judgement is required in determining provision for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Details are set out in Note 10 and Note 26. Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year are discussed below: Impairment of associates Impairment reviews in respect of associates are performed at least annually or when there is any indication that the investment in associates may be impaired. More regular reviews are performed if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicate potential impairment. The Group uses the present value of future cash flows to determine the recoverable amounts of the underlying cash generating units in the associates. In calculating the recoverable amounts, significant management judgement is required in forecasting cash flows of the cash generating units, in estimating the terminal growth values and in selecting an appropriate discount rate. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment Assumptions made regarding the useful lives are based on the regulatory environment and technological developments. These assumptions are subject to risk and there is the possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations. Estimating fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition, measurement and disclosure purposes. Note 31 sets out the basis of valuation of financial assets and liabilities. Accrued revenue Revenue accrual estimates are made to account for the unbilled period between the end-user’s last billing date and the end of the accounting period. The accrual relies on detailed analysis of customers’ historical consumption patterns, which takes into account base usage and sensitivity to consumption growth. The results of this analysis are applied for the number of days over the unbilled period. 17 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 Revenue recognition Revenue recognised, from use of system charges and transportation of gas, is estimated based on revenue allowed by the Energy Market Authority (“EMA”) (in accordance with the price regulation framework), taking into consideration the services rendered and volume of electricity, gas or services delivered to consumers. Note 3.18 sets out the revenue recognition policy. 2.5 Convergence with International Financial Reporting Standards The Group will adopt Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) (“SFRS(I)s”), Singapore’s equivalent of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) on 1 April 2018. The Group has performed an initial assessment of the impact of adopting the new financial reporting framework, and expects no material impact arising from the adoption. The Group expects that the impact of adopting the new standards under the new framework that are effective on 1 April 2018 will be similar to that as disclosed in Note 3.23 under the current framework. 2.6 Changes in accounting policies Adoption of new and revised FRSs and Interpretation to FRS The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except that in the current financial year, the Group has adopted all the new and revised standards which are effective for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1 April 2017, including the Amendments to FRS 7 Disclosure Initiative. The adoption of these new standards did not have any effect on the financial performance or position of the Group and the Company. 3 Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these financial statements, and have been consistently applied by the Group entities, which addresses changes in accounting policies due to the adoption of new and revised standards. 3.1 Basis of consolidation Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that are currently exercisable. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. 18 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date and included in the consideration transferred. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. For non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets in the event of liquidation, the Group elects on a transaction-by-transaction basis whether to measure them at fair value, or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, at the acquisition date. All other non-controlling interests are measured at acquisition-date fair value, or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another standard. Any excess or deficiency of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed is accounted for as goodwill or bargain purchase gain (see Note 3.4). Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment losses. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance. Loss of control Upon the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any noncontrolling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained. Joint arrangements A joint arrangement is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement, the arrangement is a joint operation. To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the net assets of the arrangement, the arrangement is a joint venture. 19 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 The Group recognises its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for the investment using the equity method. The accounting policy for investment in joint venture is set out below. Investments in associates and joint ventures (equity-accounted investees) An associate is an entity over which the Group has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but does not have control or joint control of those policies. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (equityaccounted investees) and are recognised initially at cost. The Group’s investments in equityaccounted investees include goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the equity-accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies of the equity-accounted investees with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity-accounted investee, the carrying amount of the investment, together with any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation to fund the investee’s operations or has made payments on behalf of the investee. Acquisition of non-controlling interests Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result of such transactions. The adjustments to non-controlling interests arising from transactions that do not involve the loss of control are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary. Any difference between the adjustment to non-controlling interests and the fair value of consideration paid is recognised directly in equity and presented as part of equity attributable to owners of the Company. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. 20 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 Accounting for subsidiaries and joint ventures by the Company Investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures are stated in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 3.2 Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The functional currencies of the Group entities are mainly Singapore dollars and Australian dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currencies at the exchange rate at the reporting date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the date on which the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items in a foreign currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the translation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation that is effective, available-for-sale equity instruments (see Note 3.6), or qualifying cash flow hedges which are recognised in other comprehensive income. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, excluding goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Singapore dollars for presentation in these financial statements at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Singapore dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign operations on or after 1 January 2005 are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and translated at the closing rate. For acquisitions prior to 1 January 2005, the exchange rates at the date of acquisition were used. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (“translation reserve”) in equity. However, if the foreign operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of, such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to noncontrolling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. 21 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the translation reserve in equity. 3.3 Property, plant and equipment Recognition and measurement Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of selfconstructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for their intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing cost. Capitalisation of borrowing costs will cease when the asset is ready for its intended use, which is defined by the commencement of revenue earning. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and is recognised net within other income/other operating expenses in profit or loss. Subsequent costs The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Depreciation Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land and construction-in-progress are not depreciated. 22 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Leasehold land Over the term of the lease, ranging from 13 – 99 years Leasehold buildings 3 – 40 years or the lease term, if shorter Plant and machinery - Mains (Electricity) 20 – 30 years - Mains (Gas) 20 – 50 years - Transformers and switchgear 20 – 30 years Other plant and equipment (principally gas storage plant, remote control and meters) Motor vehicles and office equipment 2 – 40 years 2 – 10 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end, and adjusted if appropriate. 3.4 Intangible assets Goodwill Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets and represents the excess of: - the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus - the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus - if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Subsequent measurement Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of equity-accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and an impairment loss on such an investment is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the equity-accounted investee. 23 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 Other intangible assets Other intangible assets with finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Expenditure on internally generated goodwill is recognised in profit or loss as an expense when incurred. Intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not available for use are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Software is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 5 to 10 years. Deferred expenditure relates mainly to contributions paid by the Group in accordance with regulatory requirements towards capital expenditure costs incurred by electricity generation companies and onshore receiving facility operator, and is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Deferred expenditure is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period in which the Group derives benefits from the capital contribution payments, which is generally the useful life of the relevant equipment ranging from 7 to 19 years. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalised development costs arising from development expenditures on an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete and the ability to measure reliably the expenditures during the development. Following initial recognition of the capitalised development costs as an intangible asset, it is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the intangible asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. Capitalised development costs have a finite useful life and are amortised over the period of 5 years on a straight line basis. Intangible assets under construction are stated at cost. No amortisation is provided until the intangible assets are ready for use. 3.5 Investment property Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The cost of self-constructed investment property includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment property to a working condition for their intended use and capitalised borrowing costs. Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss. When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting. 24 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 Property that is being constructed for future use as investment property is accounted for at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Investment property under development is not depreciated. 3.6 Financial instruments Non-derivative financial assets The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The rights of offset must not be contingent on a future event and must be enforceable in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of all the counterparties to the contract. The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity financial assets, loans and receivables and availablefor-sale financial assets. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Group manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in profit or loss. Held-to-maturity financial assets If the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold debt securities to maturity, then such financial assets are classified as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-tomaturity financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Any sale or reclassification of a more than insignificant amount of held-to-maturity investments not close to their maturity would result in the reclassification of all held-to-maturity investments as available-for-sale. It would also prevent the Group from classifying investment securities as held-to-maturity for the current and the following two financial years. 25 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, bank deposits and restricted cash. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as availablefor-sale and that are not classified in any of the above categories of financial assets. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses (see Note 3.8) and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale monetary items (see Note 3.2), are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. Non-derivative financial liabilities The Group initially recognises debt securities issued and bank borrowings on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. 26 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the embedded derivative are not closely related. A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative. On initial designation of the derivative as the hedging instrument, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and the hedged risk, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, of whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80%-125%. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported profit or loss. Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below. Cash flow hedges When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount accumulated in equity is included in the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is recognised. In other cases, the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit and loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. Fair value hedges Changes in the fair value of a derivative hedging instrument designated as a fair value hedge are recognised in profit or loss. The hedged item is adjusted to reflect changes in its fair value in respect of the risk being hedged; the gain or loss attributable to the hedged risk is recognised in profit or loss with an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item. 27 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting When a derivative financial instrument is not designated in a hedge relationship that qualifies for hedge accounting, all changes in its fair value are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Intra-group financial guarantees in the separate financial statements Financial guarantees are financial instruments which are issued by the Company that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for the loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to meet payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a contractual agreement. Financial guarantees are recognised initially at fair value and are classified as financial liabilities. Subsequent to initial measurement, the financial guarantees are stated at the higher of the initial fair value less cumulative amortisation and the amount that would be recognised if they were accounted for as contingent liabilities. When financial guarantees are terminated before their original expiry date, the carrying amount of the financial guarantees is transferred to profit or loss. 3.7 Leased assets Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Other leases are operating leases and are not recognised in the Group’s balance sheet. Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether such an arrangement is or contains a lease. A specific asset is the subject of a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of that specified asset. An arrangement conveys the right to use the asset if the arrangement conveys to the Group the right to control the use of the underlying asset. At inception or upon reassessment of the arrangement, the Group separates payments and other consideration required by such an arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset. Subsequently, the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance charge on the liability is recognised using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. 28 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 3.8 Impairment Non-derivative financial assets A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss, including an interest in an associate and joint venture, is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event had occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments The Group considers evidence of impairment for loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are assessed for specific impairment. All individually significant receivables and held-to-maturity investments found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgement as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised. When a subsequent event (e.g. repayment by a debtor) causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Available-for-sale financial assets Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve in equity to profit or loss. The cumulative loss that is reclassified from equity to profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost, net of any principal repayment and amortisation, and current fair value, less any impairment loss recognised previously in profit or loss. Changes in impairment provisions attributable to application of effective interest method are reflected as a component of interest income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, then the impairment loss is reversed. The amount of the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. However, any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognised in other comprehensive income. 29 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amounts are estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit (“CGU”) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows and are utilised by more than one CGU. Corporate assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and tested for impairment as part of the testing of the CGU to which the corporate asset is allocated. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Such reversal of impairment is recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in an associate or a joint venture is not recognised separately, and therefore is not tested for impairment separately. Instead, the entire amount of the investment in an associate or a joint venture is tested for impairment as a single asset when there is objective evidence that the investment in an associate or a joint venture may be impaired. 30 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 3.9 Inventories Spare parts, accessories and other consumables are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined based on the weighted average method, and includes expenditure in acquiring the inventories and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Cost may also include transfers from other comprehensive income of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of inventories. Allowance for obsolete, deteriorated or damaged stocks is made when considered appropriate. 3.10 Accrued revenue Revenue accrual estimates are made to account for the unbilled amount at the reporting date. 3.11 Employee benefits Provision is made for the accrued liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees up to the reporting date. The provision represents the Group’s total estimated liability at the reporting date for employee entitlements. Long service leave The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date, including on-costs. Consideration is given to expected future salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using interest rates on government guaranteed bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Defined contribution plans A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably. 3.12 Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. 31 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 Environmental Environmental provision is made for the rehabilitation of sites based on the estimated costs of the rehabilitation. The liability includes the costs of reclamation, plant closure and dismantling, and waste site closure. The liability is determined based on the present value of the obligation. Annual adjustments to the liability are recognised in profit or loss over the estimated life of the sites. The costs are estimated based on assumptions of current legal requirements and technologies. Any changes in estimates are dealt with on a prospective basis. Onerous contracts A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract. 3.13 Government grant Capital grant is recognised on a straight-line basis and taken to profit or loss over the periods necessary to match the depreciation of the assets purchased with the government grants. Operating grant is taken to profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred. 3.14 Deferred construction cost compensation Deferred construction cost compensation received to defray costs relating to the construction of an asset are accounted for as a government grant. Note 3.13 sets out the government grant accounting policy. 3.15 Deferred income Deferred income comprises (i) government grants for the purchase of depreciable assets, (ii) contributions made by certain customers towards the cost of capital projects received prior to 1 July 2009, (iii) use of system charges, transportation of gas, sale of electricity and Market Support Services Licence fees and (iv) compensation received to defray operating expenses. Government grants and customer contributions Deferred income is recognised on a straight-line basis and taken to profit or loss over the periods necessary to match the depreciation of the assets purchased with the government grants and customers’ contributions. Use of system charges, transportation of gas, sale of electricity and Market Support Services Licence fees Deferred income arises when billings vary from revenue recognised. Deferred income is recognised in profit or loss over the periods necessary to adjust allowed revenue (in accordance with the price regulation framework or regulatory formulae), to revenue earned based on services rendered. At the end of each regulatory period, after adjusting for amounts to be refunded, any outstanding balance is taken to profit or loss as revenue. 32 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 3.16 Price regulation and licence The Group’s operations in Singapore are regulated under the Electricity Licence, Gas Licence and the Market Support Services Licence issued by the Energy Market Authority (“EMA”) of Singapore. Revenue to be earned from the supply and transmission of electricity, transportation of gas and the provision of market support services is regulated based on certain formulae and parameters set out in those licence, relevant acts and codes. Actual revenue billed may vary from that allowed due to volume variances. This may result in adjustments that may increase or decrease tariffs in succeeding periods. Amounts to be recovered or refunded are brought to account as adjustments to revenue in the period in which the Group becomes entitled to the recovery or liable for the refund. The Group’s capital expenditure may vary from its regulatory plan and is subject to a review by the EMA. The results of the variances in capital expenditure may be translated into price adjustments, if any, in the following reset period. 3.17 Disposal group held-for-sale Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held-for-sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held-for-sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised. 3.18 Revenue recognition Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the Company and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows: Sale of electricity Revenue from the sale of electricity is recognised when electricity is delivered to consumers. Use of system charges and transportation of gas The use of system charges and revenue from the transportation of gas are approved by the EMA for a 5-year regulatory period in accordance with the price regulation framework. Revenue is recognised when services are rendered and the volume of electricity and gas is delivered to consumers. 33 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 District cooling service income Income from services is recognised when the services are rendered. The revenue corresponds to the quantum which the Group is entitled to under Condition 13 (Economic Regulation) of its District Cooling Services Licence issued by the Energy Market Authority of Singapore. The variance between tariff billing and the revenue entitled is reported as changes to the economic regulation equalisation account, an asset recorded in trade and other receivables for an under-recovery, and a liability recorded in trade and other payables for an over-recovery. Transfers of assets from customers Revenue arising from assets transferred from customers is recognised in profit or loss when the performance obligations associated with receiving those customer contributions are met. In determining the amount of revenue to be recognised, the fair value of the assets is required to be estimated and the circumstances and nature of the transferred assets, which includes market value and relevant rate-regulated framework governing those assets, are taken into account. Agency fees and Market Support Services Licence fees Agency fees from acting as billing agent and fees for services provided under the Market Support Services Licence are recognised when the services are rendered. Dividend income Dividend income is recognised on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established. Rental income Rental income is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Support service income and management fees Support service income and management fees are recognised when the services are rendered. Capital and maintenance works income Revenue from rendering of capital and maintenance service is recognised in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract when the stage of contract completion can be reliably measured. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed. Where the outcome of capital and maintenance contract cannot be reliably estimated, contract costs are expensed as incurred. Revenue is only recognised to the extent of costs incurred where it is probable that the costs will be recovered. An expected loss is recognised immediately as an expense. 3.19 Leases As lessor Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term. Rental income under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss over the term of the lease. 34 Singapore Power Limited and its subsidiaries Financial statements Year ended 31 March 2018 Where assets are leased under a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments is recognised as a receivable. The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognised as unearned finance income. Lease income is recognised over the lease term using the net investment method, which reflects a constant periodic rate of return. Contingent rental income is recognised in profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred. As lessee Where the Group has the use of assets under operating leases, payments made under the leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the total lease payments made. 3.20 Finance income and costs Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, fair value gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognised on financial assets (other than trade receivables), gains or losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss and amortisation of transaction costs capitalised. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. 3.21 Tax expense Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred taxes are reco

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Mobile Generators: Powering Continuity RELIABILITY Mohamed Nasir bin Mohamed Ismail, Technical Officer, Electricity Operations (center) together with Ismet Imran bin Chuma'ing, Senior Technician, Electricity Operations (left) and Mohammad Najib bin Jalil, Technical Officer, Electricity Operations (right) from SP Group's Mobile Generator Unit. When an electrical glitch hit Kian Teck Avenue in Jurong last month, a team from SP Group’s Mobile Generator Unit was charged and ready to roll. In minutes, a mobile generator mounted on a 30-ft trailer left a facility in Pasir Panjang for the site of the incident. The generator carried some 2,000 litres of diesel, enough to power up a housing estate for around eight hours, and up to 40 metres of cable to hook up to a low-voltage (LV) board, which distributes electricity. “We need to always be prepared to provide temporary power,” says Mr Mohamed Nasir bin Mohamed Ismail, 42, a technical officer who is part of the unit. Readiness is key for the Mobile Generator Unit. This begins at 7.30am with a daily “warm up”, conducted by the 10 men on the morning shift. During the one-hour ritual, all the operational mobile generators – the larger ones mounted on fourteen 30-ft trailers, and the smaller ones on seven 20-ft lorries – are started and tested to ensure they are ready to be deployed. The team members also conduct cable insulation tests and checks on their toolboxes and personal protection gear. This enables them to act swiftly and safely, in the event of an electricity disruption. The men, who work on three shifts round the clock, are deployed by SP Group’s Electricity Service Centre in teams of three – a leader, an assistant, and a driver. Mr Nasir, the leader of his team, has been with SP for 21 years, joining right after he completed his National Service in 1998. He studied mechanical engineering at the ITE and plays the role of synchroniser, ensuring that the voltage and frequency of the mobile generator matches that of the grid network. Mr Nasir, who has both a Class 4 and Class 5 driving license, doubles up as a driver, and says navigating these massive vehicles is an exercise that requires both practice and courage. The trailer-mounted mobile generators cannot travel through tunnels, including those on expressways like the MCE, CTE or KPE. The 60km/h speed limit also keeps them in the slowest lanes most of the time. The trailer-mounted generators are part of a fleet of 22 vehicles of different sizes and capacities used for power restoration. “You need to know the quickest alternative route around traffic or restrictions. Outage in Ang Mo Kio and leaving from Pasir Panjang? Alexandra, Farrer, Adam, Braddell, then join the CTE after the tunnel,” Mr Nasir rattles off. The narrow roads in some estates and parked vehicles can also pose problems for the 13 metres by 2.6 metres by 4.3 metres trailers, and it is up to the two men with the driver to recce for a spot to hunker down – which must also be close enough to an electrical room to hook up. While Singapore enjoys one of the lowest occurrences of outages in the world, it is gratifying to be a part of a team that helps “get the lights back on" if supply is disrupted, Mr Nasir says. “We are usually greeted by frustrated faces when we arrive, so seeing them happy again makes us very happy,” he quipped. — 1 May 2019 TAGS PEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Underground wonders Hasinah leads in the coordination between LTA and SP Group on island-wide projects such the Thomson-East Coast Line and the integrated North South Corridor.
