Media Release - JTC and SP Group to develop and operate Singapore's first Smart Grid for Business Parks at Punggol Digital Districthttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/c5bd36db-b34e-4de6-9ee6-a9cd5c554b23/%5B20181031%5D+Media+Release+-+JTC+and+SP+Group+to+develop+and+operate+Singapore's+first+Smart+Grid+for+Business+Parks+at+Punggol+Digital+District.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
News Release JTC AND SP GROUP TO DEVELOP AND OPERATE SINGAPORE’S FIRST SMART GRID FOR BUSINESS PARKS AT PUNGGOL DIGITAL DISTRICT Partnership will help the District optimise energy consumption, reduce carbon footprint and save cost for businesses and consumers Singapore, 31 October 2018 – A Smart Grid system that provides green energy and increases energy efficiency will serve businesses and consumers in the upcoming Punggol Digital District (PDD). JTC and SP Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the Smart Grid at the Asia Clean Energy Summit 2018 today, witnessed by Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Masagos Zulkifli. This partnership will drive the design of smart energy solutions comprising the areas of renewable energy and electric mobility, that will be integrated with the Open Digital Platform in the District, announced in July this year. 2. Under the MoU, JTC and SP Group will develop and implement a Smart Grid within PDD. Companies in PDD can look forward to adopting clean sources of energy, such as solar energy generated from building roofs, and take advantage of new technologies, such as electric vehicle charging and smart metering. Through the Smart Grid, about 1,700 tonnes of carbon emissions could be reduced per year, equivalent to taking 270 cars off the road. 3. The Smart Grid will be integrated with the Open Digital Platform, allowing communication and interaction with other building systems in the District, such as the District Cooling System (DCS) and the Building Management System (BMS). For instance, on a hot sunny day, the Smart Grid will register an increase in electricity consumption as the air conditioning systems consume more energy to maintain the temperature in the building. It automatically sends a signal to the Open Digital Platform, which detects the specific rooms where the temperature has increased. The Open Digital Platform then activates the Building Management System within the building to lower the blinds in those rooms, reducing heat gain and conserving energy. 1 4. JTC’s Assistant Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David Tan, said, “Beyond utilities and technologies, it is about giving the community the data and tools to make informed decisions about their energy consumption, be it adopting clean sources of energy or optimising usage to reduce costs. Aggregated data on energy consumption from the Smart Grid will be made available for academics, researchers, start-ups and enterprises to encourage innovation in the domains of clean energy and energy management.” 5. Mr Goh Chee Kiong, Head, Strategic Development of SP Group said, “SP Group is committed to design and implement smart energy solutions, driven by our deep energy integration and digital capabilities. We are pleased to work with JTC to help businesses in the Punggol Digital District save cost and go green through our innovative smart grid.” 6. At the forefront of Singapore’s Smart Nation push, PDD is envisioned to be a vibrant and inclusive district where cutting-edge technology and social innovation transform the way we work, live, learn and play in the future. PDD will house key growth sectors such as digital and cybersecurity, and will also be the first district in Singapore to be fully integrated with Internet of Things systems from the ground up. This infrastructure will create conducive testbed environments for businesses and entrepreneurs, allowing them to thrive in a digital economy, while the enhanced experience brought about by the digitalisation will provide a sustainable and connected environment for the community. The first buildings in District are expected to be completed by 2023. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 About JTC Set up in 1968, JTC is the lead government agency responsible for the planning and development of industrial infrastructure to support and catalyse the growth of industries and enterprises in Singapore.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2013 MONEY B11 One man demonstrated ‘outstanding leadership’ in searching for solutions to the energy sector’s manpower challenges, while an organisation made a sustained effort in promoting energy awareness among youth. Another organisation received special mention for rallying youth around energy causes. The Straits Times speaks to the inaugural winners of the Singapore Energy Award, which honours those who have made transformational changes in the energy sector, and finds out what fuels their passion. Energy Matters A series brought to you by the Energy Market Authority Powered by pure passion SINGAPORE Power’s (SP) senior adviser Quek Poh Huat lays the ground rules at the start of the interview. “This isn’t about me, okay? The Singapore Energy Award belongs to the company. I was just fortunate to be here to oversee all this,” says the 67-year-old, ironically also the inaugural winner of the Individual category of this year’s awards. Mr Quek was appointed a director of SP Ltd in 2001 and became the group chief executive of SP from May 2004. He stepped down in January last year but is still on the frontline of addressing the sector’s manpower crisis. He recently chaired the Power Sector Manpower Taskforce (PSMT) to develop recommendations for building manpower capabilities for Singapore’s power sector. The challenges it highlighted included the ageing technical workforce and the difficulty of attracting and retaining younger Singaporeans (see previous story). “At Singapore Power (SP), the average age of our workers is 43. And as the workforce ages, we need them to be replaced. We also want to ensure know-how is transferred,” he said. “Working in the power sector is not seen as easy. People think that they will have to deal with harsh working conditions – having to be in substations and being on the ground. “But these conditions aren’t always harsh. We also need to make people understand the opportunities.” Mr Quek is no stranger to challenging situations. When SP introduced integrated billing for power, water and waste removal over 2000 and 2001, a computer glitch meant some households did not receive a bill for a year, then got them all at once. “It took 12 months to correct the faults,” he recalls. “We had to work out instalment schemes. I even went to Parliament to explain to the MPs how to trickle down the information to their concerned constituents.” Mr Quek was also under heat when, in 2004, the country experienced two outages. The first, in April, lasted 59 minutes and knocked out electricity supply to about 80,000 homes. The second, in June, left 30 per cent of the island in the dark for close to two hours. “Since then, most of the outages have been minor. Touch wood!” he says. Despite being in the sector just nine years, Mr Quek’s list of contributions to it is long. Under his watch, SP has become one of the largest energy utility companies in the Asia Pacific with revenues of $8.97 billion in financial year 2012/2013. He has also been developing capabilities within the industry and addressing the sector’s talent crunch through a variety of measures, including cultivating a close relationship with the unions. His efforts earned him the NTUC May Day Award – Medal of Commendation (Gold) in May last year. Mr RKS Nachiappan, general-secretary of the Union of Power & Gas Employees, says Mr Quek put in place more frequent meetings – both formal and casual – to understand the challenges and issues. “He has a real soft spot for the low-income group, and knows training is the best way to help make their lives better,” Mr Nachiappan adds. In 2010, Mr Quek was heavily involved in implementing an industry-wide Work Skills Qualification (WSQ) System and even before re-employment of older workers was legislated, SP put such a scheme in place. Mr Quek also lent his support to bond-free scholarships for power workers and mooted the idea of the Singapore Power Heartware Fund to help the needy elderly in our community. “The three most important ENERGY WARRIORS Singapore Power’s senior adviser Quek Poh Huat with a mural of the Singapore night skyline behind him at the SP offices. The 67-year-old is the inaugural winner of the Individual category of the Singapore Energy Award. PHOTO: EDWARD TEO FOR THE STRAITS TIMES things in my life are family, friends and faith. I follow that when dealing with the union, staff, new recruits and retirees. We are a family, Singapore Power,” Mr Quek says. Now retired, Mr Quek’s focus will be on the Singapore Power Training Institute (SPTI). It currently conducts about 200 training sessions under 70 programmes annually covering areas such as electricity and gas network operations, business continuity management, and safety and power quality. His plan is to retain the expertise present in the industry by inviting retired power workers back to teach. He also sees room for Singapore to share what it knows with the region. “Singapore has invested so much and learnt hard lessons developing its know-how. This can A LOVE for Lego was what drew 22-year-old Rochelle Hung to the National University of Singapore’s student organisation Energy Carta. Earlier this year, Energy Carta organised an event called Changing the Game, which visualised energy usage through the use of Lego bricks. Ms Hung, a major in Project and Facility Management at NUS’ School of Design and Environment (SDE), heard about it through a department e-mail blast. A long-time lover of Lego, she signed up. “I was determined to understand more about the energy field, especially sustainability, and be able to plan the future that I want to be in, that is, one with smart and sustainable buildings,” she recalls. Ms Hung eventually became one of the student leaders of Energy Carta, which has earned a Special Mention Award in the Organisation category of the inaugural Singapore Energy Award. Energy Carta, which draws part of its name from the ancient historical document Magna Carta, or Latin for “great charter”, was founded by 30-year-old NUS alumnus Yujun Chean in 2008. The then final-year engineering student had been working with a Silicon Valley start-up and attending classes at Stanford University under a year-long NUS student programme, when he saw former US vice-president Al Gore deliver a landmark speech ahead of the screening of his documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Separately, he also attended a conference by a now-defunct Stanford organisation that convinced him students could make a difference. Back at NUS, it dawned on him that he could do something similar. “I penned down names of prominent individuals within the be packaged and exported,” he says. Also a priority is to ensure that Singapore continues “keeping the lights on”. Singaporeans experience an average of just 25 seconds of outage a year. “And there is just a 0.01 per cent chance of a blackout. That’s the best in the world,” he says, beaming. It is a long way to have come for a man who remembers running through back lanes barefoot, electric trams in Orchard Road and calling it a night when daylight ended. “The next 20 years will also be dramatically different from how it is now,” he said, adding that the priority is finding the people who can keep things humming while also handling areas like electric cars and smart grids. “We cannot afford to fail.” Senoko is on the cutting edge of various energy innovations, including adopting and testing electric vehicles. PHOTO: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TASKFORCE Undergrads’ ‘great charter’ for environment Youth organisation Energy Carta, founded by NUS alumnus Yujun Chean (front row, left) in 2008, is one of the three inaugural winners of the Singapore Energy Award. Energy Carta has raised more than $170,000 in sponsorships from corporations such as PowerSeraya, Chevron, Sembcorp, Singapore Airlines and UOL. PHOTO: YUJUN CHEAN, ENERGY CARTA clean-tech world,” he recalls. “I also tried to get my friends excited about creating a student-run conference as a final year project.” In the end, an event he thought would simply allow him to “leave school with a bang” ended up having a much greater impact. First, Professor Chou Siaw Kiang, executive director of the NUS Energy Studies Institute, encouraged him not to set up the organisation as a Stanford offshoot but as an independent Singapore-rooted organisation. Then, the Economic Development Board (EDB) threw in its support and the Energy Market Authority (EMA) agreed to make Energy Carta its youth partner at the inaugural Singapore International Energy Week in 2008. “This gave us a lot of credibility when we were pitching for support, speakers and funding, and accelerated our growth curve,” says Mr Chean. What resulted was the Asian Youth Energy Summit in 2008, which became the largest student-led energy conference in Singapore, attracting over 500 participants and featuring 30 industry speakers. The following year, Energy Carta added the Chevron Case Challenge, where 97 teams vied to develop the best 20-year energy plan for a fictional city. A year later, the winner of the Singapore round of the Cleantech Open Global Ideas Competition was flown to the United States for the global leg of the competition. Energy Carta has raised more than $170,000 in sponsorships from corporations such as PowerSeraya, Chevron, Sembcorp, Singapore Airlines and UOL. “These funds have enabled us to organise large-scale events, reaching well over a thousand participants,” says Mr Chean. “The belief is that while most people may not be intrinsically keen to solve climate change, they may indirectly do so by building a career in the sector, and Energy Carta aims to get them started on that path,” he explains. Senoko’s activities to engage the young IT IS a Saturday but one of Senoko Energy’s vice-presidents is at Woodgrove Secondary School helping staff to develop an education module for next year and exploring how the school can become more energy-efficient. Woodgrove Secondary is one of 18 schools that has been adopted by Singapore’s largest power generation company as part of the NEA Corporate and School Partnership Programme (Casp). Senoko offers the schools training attachments, plant tours and project sponsorship among other things, and Mr Kwong Kok Chan has made it his personal mission to work with them. “When I first started in 2004, I saw it as just part of my job. Now I can’t differentiate between work and personal interest,” says the 60-year-old, an engineering graduate from the University of Malaya. “The students treat me like an uncle, and I’ve also learnt from the way they see things. One Admiralty student even challenged me, asking why Singapore didn’t harness electricity from lightning. I had no idea what to say!” It is people like Mr Kwong that Senoko Energy president and chief executive officer Brendan Wauters credit for the company’s win in the Organisation category of the inaugural Singapore Energy Awards. “The award reflects the continued and consistent efforts we have put in over the past decade,” he says. “A lot of people like Mr Kwong are instrumental to what we have done. Mr Kwong loves to interact with students and their teachers. His passion is infectious.” But Casp is only one of many community outreach activities undertaken by Senoko, the only power generation company located in the north of Singapore. “Being in the north, we are closer to residential areas, so it important that we have a relationship with our neighbouring communities,” explains Mr Wauters. Senoko has also partnered with the PUB to adopt Sungei Sembawang and help make young people aware of the need for water conservation. In 2012, the company launched the Senoko Sustainability Challenge, which challenged students from primary schools to junior colleges to come up with solutions to environmental problems. “It aims to create awareness of the importance of sustainability in general and climate change in particular among the younger generation, who are ultimately the ones who can impact future outcomes the most,” says Mr Wauters. A total of 120 teams from 52 schools participated this year. Senoko, which started in 1975, has, through the years, delivered several firsts. In 1991, it became the first power generation company to import natural gas into Singapore from Malaysia. It was a landmark moment, representing the nation’s first step away from liquid fuel. Senoko was also the first to use combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) technology in 1995. Being able to fire with either natural gas or fuel oil or a mix of both translated into about 10 per cent in energy efficiency gains and cleaner emissions. Senoko was also the first company to take the 3R principles of reduce, reuse and recycle to a new level: Its “repowering” approach so far has resulted in a more than 40 per cent drop in carbon intensity over 1990 levels. Senoko is still on the cutting edge of other innovations, including adopting and testing electric vehicles. “Power companies are often seen as part of the problem in terms of the environment, but in Singapore, we can say we have become part of the solution,” says Mr Wauters.

4 | The C OMPANIES & MARKETS SP Group secures first utility-scale solar assets in Vietnam By Wong Pei Ting wongpeiting@sph.com.sg ENERGY utilities group SP Group has bought its first solar farm assets in Vietnam, as part of its plan to develop 1.5 gigawatts of utilityscale and rooftop solar projects in the country by 2025. The two assets, with a combined peak capacity of 100 megawattspeak, generate 130 gigawatt-hours of clean energy a year, amounting to an avoidance of 105,000 tonnes in carbon emissions annually. They are the Europlast Phu Yen Solar Power Plant and the Thanh Long Phu Yen Solar Power Plant, located in Phu Yen, a province in the south-central coast of the country. Europlast has been in operation since June 2019, while the Thanh Long plant was established in December 2020. Announcing the acquisition on Monday (Mar 6), SP Group said the assets will equip the company with capabilities to help commercial and industrial customers achieve “100 per cent clean energy consumption” once Vietnam’s direct power purchase framework is established. This framework, which is still being developed by the country’s Ministry of Industry and Trade, promises to let renewable energy generators sell clean electricity to private offtakers for the first time. Currently, SP Group bases its Vietnamese business on designing, deploying and operating rooftop solar solutions across the country. These can only green part of customers’ energy mix, however. Brandon Chia, SP Group’s managing director of sustainable energy solutions (South-east Asia and Australia), thus describes the acquisition as a “key milestone” of the group’s long-term ambitions in the country. “Through our solar power offerings in both rooftop and utilityscale solutions, SP Group will be a one-stop provider to help our Vietnam customers meet their decarbonisation goals,” he said. SP Group has been developing rooftop solar projects in Vietnam through partnerships and joint ventures since 2021. These cover more than 115 megawatts of rooftop solar assets to date.

[20191031] Media Release - SP Group And I-REC Help Corporates Achieve Green Targetshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/8827533d-e023-43dc-b744-6ede80f90416/%5B20191031%5D+Media+Release+-+SP+Group+And+I-REC+Help+Corporates+Achieve+Green+Targets.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
Media Release SP GROUP AND I-REC HELP CORPORATES ACHIEVE GREEN TARGETS SP’s digital REC platform facilitates greater access to green energy Singapore, 31 October 2019 – SP Group (SP) is the first authorised local issuer of International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs) in Asia Pacific. This independent accreditation by the globally recognised International REC Standard Foundation (I-REC Standard) means consumers can be assured of the integrity of each REC transaction. SP has also enhanced its digital REC trading platform to provide a one-stop solution for buyers and sellers around the globe – regardless of size, business or location – to gain greater access to green energy. In 2018, more than 1,000,000 GWh of renewable energy certificates (RECs) were issued globally, amounting to more than 20 times of Singapore’s annual energy consumption. The challenge to achieving green targets Singapore has a target to increase solar penetration to 350 MWp by 2020 and to reach 2 GWp by 2030 1 . Companies have also set targets to consume renewable energy and reduce carbon emission. In urban places faced with limited land to produce energy from natural resources and inconsistent solar energy, corporates find it a challenge to access sufficient green energy supply. RECs as a solution RECs are a recognised way of achieving renewable energy targets and a credible means to report that the consumed energy comes from renewable energy sources. With each megawatt-hour of green energy produced, one REC is recorded and uniquely numbered and tracked. A buyer can purchase the REC and show proof that he or she consumed green energy. The latest example of using RECs is the sponsorship by SP Group of RECs matching the electricity consumed for the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) 2019. SP’s sponsorship means the electricity consumed at SIEW is matched with an equivalent amount of green energy produced. 1 Energy Market Authority of Singapore Media Release – The Future of Singapore’s Energy Story (29 October 2019) 1 I-REC accreditation provides security and integrity assurance SP, as an authorised I-REC local issuer, ensures that a vigorous and transparent attribute tracking system is in place and adherence to best practices. This avoids double counting, double certificate issuance and double attribute claiming. Jared Braslawsky, Secretary General of the International REC Standard Foundation, said: “Reliable information and robust tracking systems are key to ensuring the reliability and integrity of RECs around the world. The I-REC Standard empowers consumers to take responsibility not just for the energy they consumed but also for the origin of the energy consumed. With the support of SP Group, there is a neutral and unprejudiced market facilitator who can play a crucial role in strengthening consumers’ sustainability efforts.” One-stop platform provides ease and convenience SP’s digital REC platform, first introduced in 2018, was designed by its in-house digital engineers to digitally link up buyers and sellers of RECs, making it easier for the trading of RECs. However, sellers had to deal with multiple manual processes to enable the trading of RECs. The enhanced platform provides a seamless one-stop solution which automates the entire process of buying and selling RECs. Speaking at SP’s I-REC Forum in conjunction with the SIEW 2019, May Liew, Head of Sustainability & Open Innovation, SP Group, said: “SP is removing barriers so that big and small organisations can achieve their green targets seamlessly and securely. With our one-stop digital REC platform, they not only have the assurance that the electricity they consume comes from renewable sources, they can also buy and sell RECs without the hassle of dealing with multiple manual processes to issue and verify the RECs.” -Ends- 2 About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.
