Media Release SP GROUP SETS UP FIRST ZERO-EMISSION BUILDING POWERED BY GREEN HYDROGEN IN SOUTHEAST ASIA Singapore, 30 October 2019 – SP Group (SP) has established the first zero-emission building in Southeast Asia that is powered by green hydrogen. Located at SP’s training centre at Woodleigh Park, the self-sustaining building is 100% powered with renewable energy via an innovative Hydrogen Energy System and is disconnected from the national electricity grid. Mr Brandon Chia, Head, Centre of Excellence, SP Group said: “Buildings contribute 40 per cent of energy related carbon emissions worldwide 1 . The Hydrogen Energy System provides a safe and compact way of storing green hydrogen which powers the region’s first zero-emission building. We believe this can be a significant contributor toward Singapore’s climate change pledge to cut national emissions intensity by 36 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.” The challenge to achieving zero emission The world in its fight against climate change is using various means to lower carbon emissions. One way is to use renewable energy sources. However, in urban places such as Singapore, due to limited land and inconsistent solar energy, achieving zero emission with 100% renewable energy is extremely challenging. Zero-emission solution An alternative is hydrogen as a green energy source. In the Hydrogen Energy System used by SP, electricity from green sources, such as solar, is used to conduct electrolysis. The hydrogen generated from this process is bonded with special metal alloy powders to form metal hydride, compacted and stored in tanks. When electricity supply is required, the stored hydrogen from the metal hydride tanks is slowly released and converted to electricity via fuel cells. As green energy sources are used for electrolysis, this entire process of converting hydrogen to electricity is 100 per cent green, with zero carbon emission. 1 The buildings and building construction sectors combined are responsible for nearly 40% of total direct and indirect CO2 emissions (International Energy Agency). 1 Safe hydrogen storage While there have been other energy systems using hydrogen as a fuel, the key challenge of hydrogen lies in having a storage solution that is safe for deployment in highly-urbanised areas such as Singapore. The system uses special metal alloy as a storage medium to bond with hydrogen. This allows for the storage of a large volume of hydrogen at a much lower pressure over a long period of time without any deterioration. When electricity is needed, the stored hydrogen is released in a slow and regulated manner, making it safer and more compact to be stored in an urban setting. Encourages greater mix of renewable energy The Hydrogen Energy System can mitigate electricity supply fluctuations and intermittency issues – common shortcomings of renewable energy. When there is surplus renewable energy, it can be stored in the form of hydrogen and converted back to electricity when there is a deficit of renewable energy. This ensures that the grid remains stable even with a greater mix of renewable energy introduced, hence encouraging the use of green energy. SP is working with Marubeni Corporation and Tohoku University on the Hydrogen Energy System with special metal alloy storage tanks from Japan, and to customise and integrate it for use in Singapore. -Ends- 2 About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

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

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

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

A key goal of this project is to find the most efficient way to lower the carbon footprint of data centres without compromising their operational resilience. With growing demand for data centres, finding carbonefficient solutions to power them is key to enable a sustainable future.” CapitaLand’s joint study with SP and Sembcorp is another of its efforts to strengthen the use of renewable energy and reduce its carbon footprint. In collaboration with Sembcorp, over 21,000 solar panels were installed atop CapitaLand’s six industrial properties 2 held under Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust (Ascendas Reit) in Singapore in 2019. It is the largest combined rooftop solar facility in Singapore by a real estate company. These solar farms can collectively generate around 10,292 megawatt hours of energy annually, equivalent to powering about 2,300 four-room HDB flats each year 3 . CapitaLand’s corporate offices in Singapore will be 100% powered by renewable energy. Three of its corporate offices will be 100% powered by renewable energy by end 2020 through Renewable Energy Certificates from the clean energy generated atop these industrial properties. Greening data centres for a low-carbon future The joint study is timely, given current trends in data network electricity use. According to a June 2020 report by the International Energy Agency, global data centre electricity demand in 2019 contributed close to one per cent of global demand 4 . Demand for data services is expected to continue its exponential growth over the coming years, which in turn will lead to an accelerated growth in data centre loads. 1 SP’s Concept Lab is the group’s innovation space to test new concepts and technologies and develop solutions for its customers. 2 The six properties are LogisTech, 1 Changi Business Park Avenue 1, 9 Changi South Street 3, 2 Senoko South Road, 40 Penjuru Lane, and Techpoint. 3 Average annual electricity consumption of a four-room HDB household is based on Singapore’s Energy Market Authority’s 2019 Singapore Energy Statistics. 4 Data Centres and Data Transmission Networks (https://www.iea.org/reports/data-centres-and-data-transmissionnetworks). Global data centre electricity demand in 2019 was approximately 200 TWh, which is equivalent to the annual consumption of about 47 million 4-room HDB flats and 83.76 million tonnes of carbon emissions. 2 About CapitaLand Limited (www.capitaland.com) CapitaLand Limited (CapitaLand) is one of Asia’s largest diversified real estate groups.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Pushing boundaries to impact future generations RELIABILITY Managing high voltage equipment is all in a day’s work for our senior engineer Tan Jie Yi. She works in the Transmission Operation and Maintenance team, part of the 24/7 operations that contribute to Singapore’s world-class network reliability. No detail is too small when conducting maintenance work for switchgears – key components in the smooth distribution of electricity to customers in industries, businesses and households. With 13 years of engineering experience under her belt, Jie Yi is unfazed by the technical and hands-on nature of her job. Join us as we discover how Jie Yi’s career has come “full circle” for her and has fuelled her passion in engineering. Tan Jie Yi, Senior Engineer in Transmission Operation and Maintenance team, finds joy and fulfilment in keeping the nation’s world-class electricity grid running. Finding her path into the engineering industry more than a decade ago, Jie Yi’s passion for scaling new heights led her to where she is today in SP Group. Formerly in the switchgear manufacturing industry, Jie Yi literally switched gears when she joined SP, as she deepened her technical expertise by learning to manage the full cycle of switchgears – from installation to maintenance. “Now that I’m on the client side, I can better appreciate the priorities and challenges faced during maintenance and understand how we can address them during the project installation phase. Like most engineers, I enjoy problem-solving. The adrenaline rush keeps me going!”   Here, we see Jie Yi assisting to perform switching work in a transmission substation. Electrical networks have to be shut down safely before maintenance work can be carried out. The team performs equipment maintenance and renewal according to a rigorous schedule. When asked about what it takes to prove her mettle in a field that has been conventionally male-dominated, Jie Yi’s advice is to strengthen one’s competency. “You need to put in effort to have sound knowledge of the operations and protocols. Gender doesn’t get in the way when you can stand up to the quality of your work.” Jie Yi is currently undergoing training to attain her switching certificate. This will allow her to operate high-voltage equipment independently. Jie Yi’s advice to those interested in engineering is to start from ground up to build a strong knowledge foundation, and always be hungry to know and learn more. “When you start from the bottom, there is nowhere to go but up,” she shares. This philosophy is mirrored in her own career, where she started as an engineering assistant and worked her way up to become a project manager. To Jie Yi and her team, they believe that the work they are doing today, is an investment for generations to come. This also holds true as she embarked on a new journey as a first-time mum to twins!  TAGS PEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ How this 'grid doctor' maintains the health of Singapore's electricity network so everything stays on Ground feedback, digital tools: How she helps 8,000 workers end their day safely Faster repairs, fewer disruptions: Meet the innovative teams using smart tech to keep your piped gas supply flowing

SP PowerGrid (“SPPG”) is licensed by the Authority to be the Gas Transporter Agent to operate and maintain the piped gas network in Singapore on behalf of PowerGas. SPPG’s gas business is to plan, design, operate and maintain gas network assets in a manner that supports the delivery of safe, reliable, efficient, and quality services to customers. Under the Gas Transporter Licence, the Gas Transporter has to develop separate fees and charges for separate gas transportation services such as connection services and transportation services. This document sets out the connection policy and procedure for Natural Gas supply. 1.2 Singapore Gas Transportation System PowerGas owns an extensive gas transmission and distribution network throughout Singapore. The network is generally buried underground and transports natural gas to the western and northern parts of Singapore, and town gas to the whole of Singapore. The gas assets comprise the transmission network (operating at higher pressures), which forms the main reticulation backbone and the distribution network (operating at lower pressures). • Town gas is manufactured in Senoko Gasworks and delivered to approximately 900,000 customers in Singapore. The customers are made up of industrial, commercial, and residential gas users. Residential customers consist mainly of gas users from HDB, condominiums and landed premises. The town gas transmission network operates at 3 barg whereas the distribution network operates at pressure regimes ranging from 1 kPa to 50 kPa. Natural gas is supplied to about 200 customers and is imported from four sources (two submarine pipelines from Indonesia, one submarine pipeline from Malaysia and internationally through the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal). Under the Gas Network Code, Gas Shippers/Retailers represent the customers that are connected to the natural gas networks. These natural gas customers are typically commercial or industrial and include all power stations. The natural gas transmission network operates mainly at two pressure regimes, 28 barg and 40 barg, and the distribution network operates at pressure regimes ranging from 3 barg to 6 barg.

Charges 4.1 Connection Policy The cost to connect a customer’s gas installation or gas fitting to the Transporter’s gas pipeline network varies from case-to-case, due to the proximity of the customer’s location and the cost of the materials and services required for the gas connection. Where possible, the Transporter will envisage to propose the most cost-effective connection to the applicant. 4.2 Connection Charge The connection charge payable for all gas connection applications is the sum of the project cost less the deductible cost, subject to a minimum connection charge of zero. The description of each of the cost components are shown below. (1) Project cost All costs related to the provision of gas connection from the Transporter’s gas pipeline network to the GSIV, including the Meter Installation (where applicable). (2) Deductible cost The Transporter’s investment value based on the committed gas demand from the applicant for the new gas connection. For distribution connections, the investment value is derived based on the net present value of the 5-Year revenue of the average consumption for each consumption category (see Appendix 8). For transmission connections, the connection charges are calculated individually on a case-bycase basis. In addition, a Last Mile Connection Charge (“LMCC”) will be levied to recover the cost of the “last mile” connection of the gas installation to the GSIV from the applicant. The natural gas transmission/distribution connection deductible cost, LMCC and unit rates used in the determination of the transmission/distribution pipeline estimated capital investment shall be reviewed and adjusted when deemed necessary by the Transporter. The Transporter reserves the right to review the connection charge paid for any new connection and seek reimbursement for the first 5 years under-recovered revenue from the Shipper/Retailer if the actual gas consumption after 5 years of operation is more than 10% below the projected gas demand declared during application.
