The study, by Temasek and SP Group (SP), was supported by the Tampines Group Representation Constituency (GRC) and the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE). Fourteen existing buildings within the Tampines Central Area were involved in the study, representing a range of various uses, including retail malls, commercial and public offices, data centres, and a community sports hub. According to findings outlined in the white paper, consolidating the cooling loads of the 14 buildings under a distributed district cooling (DDC) network would result in: 17% lower energy consumption – enough to power 1,665 three-room HDB households for a year; An 18% reduction in carbon emissions, from both energy savings and refrigerant reduction – equivalent to removing 2,250 cars from roads annually; and S$4.3 million annually from energy savings, reduction in equipment replacement and maintenance costs and potential earnings from freeing up chiller plant space, which can be converted into retail or office space. In a signing ceremony witnessed by Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Adviser to Tampines GROs, Minister for Social and Family Development, Second Minister for Health and Minister-in- charge of Muslim Affairs, at Our Tampines Hub earlier this afternoon, property owners CapitaLand, Frasers Property, OCBC Bank, People’s Association and UOB have each signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with SP to affirm their interest in subscribing to this sustainable cooling solution. These building owners were part of the white paper study and are the existing owners of Tampines Mall, Telepark, Century Square, Tampines 1, OCBC Tampines Centre Two, Our Tampines Hub and UOB Tampines Centre respectively. The commitment of these building owners brings the DDC network one step closer to materialisation in Tampines. Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Adviser to Tampines GROs, Minister for Social and Family Development, Second Minister for Health and Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs said: “Sustainable towns and districts are essential for Singapore to meet our sustainability goals under the Singapore Green Plan 2030. The results from the feasibility study at Tampines Central look promising. I am hopeful that the adoption of this green cooling solution will bring Tampines closer to our ambition to be an Eco Town by 2025 and pave the way for district cooling to be explored across other towns and built-up areas.” “A more efficient way to cool buildings would cut down on energy, carbon and cut costs. Temasek is delighted to partner SP Group to study the feasibility of a novel distributed district cooling concept for brownfield developments which could provide cities worldwide with a proof-of-concept for a more sustainable way to cool buildings,” said Dr Steve Howard, Chief Sustainability Officer, Temasek. SP’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr Stanley Huang, said, “In Singapore’s highly urbanised landscape, it is necessary to innovate and deploy sustainable solutions to existing infrastructure. This white paper illustrates the potential of district cooling as a core solution to empower existing townships to go green, demonstrating its potential to support Tampines’ Eco Town ambitions. Tampines residents can enjoy the same sustainable and reliable cooling comfort, similar to our district cooling solution at Marina Bay. Through a  widespread adoption of distributed district cooling, building owners of mature developments can reap significant energy savings and contribute to our national decarbonisation efforts, without any compromise in the comfort for users.” Ms Amy Hing, 1 Deputy Secretary, MSE, said: “This study explores an innovative district cooling solution in a brownfield site that can potentially enhance energy efficiency and lower the carbon footprint. We hope that the insights gained from the study will encourage more ideas and collaboration on innovative district-level solutions that contribute to the Singapore Green Plan 2030.” The hot issue of keeping cool In Singapore’s tropical climate, air conditioning is widely used to provide cool comfort. However, air conditioners consume a lot of electricity, which itself can be up to 50 per cent of a building’s total consumption. Air conditioners also contain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) that trap heat – making them potent greenhouse gases. In addition, the usage of air conditioners tends to lead to warmer temperatures outside due to the exchange and release of heat into the environment. There is an urgent need to find a cleaner and more sustainable way to cool our living environment. District Cooling One cooling solution that has gained traction is district cooling. This involves centralising cooling plants that distribute chilled water to various buildings through an underground network of insulated pipes to provide air conditioning. Through economies of scale, district cooling consumes less energy for the same amount of cooling and reduces carbon emissions. As the individual buildings do not need to invest in their own chillers and maintain them, this approach enhances reliability and frees up space that would be needed if the building installed its own chillers. Building owners also save on maintenance costs by tapping on the district cooling network. SP designed and built the world’s largest underground district cooling network at Marina Bay, which has been in operation with zero supply interruption since 2006. However, the  design and integration of this solution was conceptualised when Marina Bay was in a greenfield state. The concept of district cooling can be applied in a brownfield, or existing urban setting, where existing buildings already have their own chiller plant systems. This is where the DDC network comes in. In Singapore, where majority of land is already built upon and developed, connecting existing buildings on to a brownfield DDC network can be a game changer, supporting Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 to address climate change and promote sustainable living.

With this new feature, when customers charge SP utilities bills to their UOB EVOL card, UOB will fund and contribute 2 per cent of the billed amount to purchase My Green Credits on the SP app on behalf of the customer. My Green Credits is an affordable and convenient way for customers to get on the sustainability movement by greening their energy consumption through the purchase the amount of “green credits” in the form of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)1. For example, when customers charge a $90 utilities bill to their UOB EVOL card, they will receive $1.80 worth of complimentary My Green Credits from UOB, equivalent to 2% of the billed amount. My Green Credits is purchased at a cost of S$0.12 per 25 kWh, which will translate to offsetting 375 kWh (kilowatt hour) or equivalent to an average national 4-room HDB flat’s electricity usage. This is equivalent to offsetting 100 per cent of the home’s electricity carbon footprint (see Annex for illustration). New UOB EVOL cardmembers paying their SP bills via the SP app will automatically enjoy the complimentary My Green Credits, while existing cardholders who are using the SP app to pay their bills before 10 November 2022 will simply need to do a one-time re-add of their EVOL card as a payment method to be eligible. My Green Credits will be automatically reflected within the customer’s SP app, with no additional effort required from them when bill payments are made. This benefit is available for both one-time and recurring SP bills payments. UOB EVOL card is the first in the market to partner with SP Group, Singapore’s national grid operator and leading sustainable energy solutions provider in the region, to offer customers complimentary My Green Credits when they use their EVOL Card to make utilities payment. This feature is applicable to all existing and new EVOL cardholders. The My Green Credits purchased will go towards supporting sustainable energy project developments in the region for the generation of green energy. 1Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are tradable green energy attributes that represent units of electricity generated from renewable energy generation facilities. These facilities comply with and are registered under internationally recognised standards, such as the I-REC standard, and are eligible to be issued RECs for every unit of electricity generated. A credit card that supports the green initiative UOB EVOL card is designed to appeal and serve the needs of younger customers, particularly their increasing focus on sustainability. The UOB EVOL Card is Southeast Asia’s first credit card to use bio-sourced materials to minimise ecological footprint. The EVOL Card is made of 84 percent polylactic acid (PLA) and created from renewable sources which are safe for incineration process. An EVOL Card that has expired and discarded is biodegradable in an industrial facility. Each EVOL card cuts down the use of plastic by 84 per cent and reduces carbon footprint by 10 grams per card. EVOL card also has a strong partnership with over 30 green partners to increase customers’ awareness of sustainability in their daily spending. This new card feature is another innovative initiative to further help them contribute to sustainable efforts seamlessly and conveniently. Ms Jacquelyn Tan, Head of Group Personal Financial Services, UOB, said “We understand that every customer has unique needs, preferences and goals, and this drives us to do right by them, to serve them in a way that meets their needs. Our wide suite of credit cards provides a comprehensive range of benefits and rewards to cater to different groups of customers on their differing needs. Through our partnership with SP, we are happy to further support the younger generation’s sustainability goals with our UOB EVOL card. This also shows UOB’s commitment towards sustainability, as we empower customers to work with us to tackle climate change and to forge a more sustainable future together.” Mr Luke Tang, Head of Strategy and Sustainability, SP Group, said “We are pleased to partner UOB to catalyse behaviour that promotes sustainability and the use of renewable energy certificates on the SP App to green household electricity consumption. As younger customers chart their sustainability journeys, we look forward to empowering them with green platforms and resources and collectively accelerate Singapore’s progress towards net zero.” The SP app was launched by SP as the first sustainability lifestyle app in Singapore. It aims to incorporate green solutions and initiatives to provide users with insights and solutions to manage their utilities and to reduce their carbon footprint. In addition to My Green Credits, users can also use the app to manage their utilities, reduce electricity consumption and contribute to Singapore’s sustainability targets to achieve a low-carbon future. On another sustainable front, as part of the UOB EVOL Card My Green Credits launch, SP supported National Parks Board’s (NParks) OneMillionTrees movement to plant a million more trees across Singapore by 2030 through NParks’ registered charity and IPC, Garden City Fund’s Plant-A-Tree programme. UOB and SP will plant 50 trees in April 2023, bringing us closer to realising our vision of becoming a City in Nature, a key pillar of the Singapore Green Plan 2030. Strategic partnership to create better solutions for customers This year marks the fourth year of partnership between UOB and SP, with joint efforts to empower customers on their green goals. Previous collaborations include the purchase of RECs through SP as part of a National Day promotion in 2021 for the EVOL card. UOB has also launched an API with SP in 2020, to allow UOB customers to instantly use their UNI$ to off-set their utility bills. Moving forward, UOB will work with SP to launch another new feature in the first quarter of 2023 that allows UOB cardholders to use their UNI$ to redeem for My Green Credits via the SP mobile app. They can choose which local or international renewable energy projects that they would like to support with the My Green Credits redeemed. Under the My Green Credits initiative, SP is supporting various green projects ranging from a solar farm in Vietnam, to a wind farm in Thailand, to a solar rooftop system in Singapore, to help reduce emissions and impact on the environment. In line with Singapore’s strong push to electrify its vehicle population, ecosystem, UOB and SP also have plans to provide promotional offers to customers who use their UOB cards to pay for electric vehicles (EV) charging at SP EV charging points. Over the past 2 years, UOB has been building up a suite of sustainable future solutions to make it simpler for customers to create impact with their everyday choices. The Bank has an established sustainable investing approach which set standards for its Singapore and regional footprint by curating a suite of sustainable investments across funds, bonds and structured products. This includes its first UOB Personal Financial Services (PFS) secured loans green product framework, serving as the foundation of its Go Green home and car loans. The framework leverages insight from Morningstar Sustainalytics, a leading global provider of ESG research, ratings, and data. In November 2022, UOB also will be availing a digital doorway to sustainable banking on the UOB TMRW app, allowing customers to easily access green deals, investments and banking products on mobile. Through the app, customers will also receive eco-friendly tips for the holiday festivities, and personalised insights to bank and live more sustainably in 2023.   ANNEX: Illustration of offsetting customers’ carbon footprint with UOB EVOL Card [20181102]+Media+Release+-+SP+Develops+Future+Energy+Leaders+Through+First+Energy+Managers+Programme+And+Industry+Scholarships.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/eb336278-8c06-4ff2-8f90-5bb0b99e6533/%5B20181102%5D+Media+Release+-+SP+Develops+Future+Energy+Leaders+Through+First+Energy+Managers+Programme+And+Industry+Scholarships.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID= News Release SP DEVELOPS FUTURE ENERGY LEADERS THROUGH FIRST ENERGY MANAGERS PROGRAMME AND INDUSTRY SCHOLARSHIPS Singapore, 2 November 2018 – Singapore Institute of Power and Gas (SIPG), as the centralised training institute for the power and gas sectors, announced today the successful completion of its first Energy Managers Programme (EMP).

News Release KidSTART Singapore new play production, Adventures with Andi, promotes reading and language development among children Presented as part of KidSTART Stories, the play brings to life Minister of State Sun Xueling’s book series “What Ants Do” to provide access to theatre arts and nurture reading interest through interactive plays for KidSTART families Singapore, 30 May 2023 - This National Family Week, KidSTART Singapore presents Adventures with Andi, a children’s play production adapted by KidSTART Early Childhood Consultant, Mdm Puspavalli Namasivayam based on the 3-book series “What Ants Do”, authored by Minister of State, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Social and Family Development Sun Xueling. An interactive play developed for the whole family, Adventures with Andi is an extension of KidSTART Stories, an initiative to support parents in the early childhood development of their children through storytelling and reading. To be staged at the School of the Arts (SOTA) Drama Theatre from 9 to 11 June, children, parents and grandparents alike can embark on an adventure through the characters to discover the meaning of home and friendship. Supported by SP Group, 2 about 450 KidSTART families will enjoy the play for free, through an immersive theatre arts experience. The families were also gifted MOS Sun’s book series which will give them the opportunity to read the book before experiencing it come to life in the theatre. Tickets are also available for the public to purchase via Sistic. The adapted screenplay for Adventures with Andi illustrates values of kindness, care and teamwork as Andi the ant embarks on a journey around the world to find the true meaning of home and friendship. The play features interactive songs and craft sessions for the whole family to participate in, offering a valuable opportunity for families to spend quality time together and foster deeper parent-child interactions, as well as hone the development of children’s language skills through storytelling and theatre. Madam Rahayu Buang, Chief Executive Officer, KidSTART Singapore said, “Experiences such as reading, storytelling and attending theatre productions are not only powerful in supporting the development of language skills and encourage imagination and creativity amongst children, they also provide an opportunity for family quality time and play, which support the holistic development of children during their early years. Following the positive feedback on KidSTART Stories last year, we are happy to extend a new play production with the support of SP Group for all families to enjoy this June school holiday. At KidSTART, we want all children to have the opportunity to grow, learn and bond with their parents. I encourage families to join us at Adventures with Andi, and eligible families to sign up for the KidSTART programme so that they can enjoy similar activities and learn together.” Minister of State, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Social and Family Development Sun Xueling said “It has been a memorable experience partnering with KidSTART Singapore to create the stage adaptation and I can’t wait for families to experience it! I hope that as part of National Family Week, families can have a meaningful and positive experience at Adventures with Andi where the children can learn about core family values such as love, care, and respect through Andi's story. By bringing the world of arts to the families, my wish is for parents to witness how we can have different dreams such as being a playwriter or an actor. If children are passionate about arts, we should celebrate their diverse talents and help them achieve their potential.” In addition to sponsoring KidSTART families to Adventures with Andi, SP Group volunteers, known as SP Heart Workers, also helped to distribute the three-part “What Ants Do” book series 3 to KidSTART families who will be attending the play. The books will expand the families’ KidSTART Stories collection at home, providing more opportunities for families to cultivate their child's interest in reading and use stories to develop their language abilities. Stanley Huang, Group CEO of SP Group, said, “We are heartened that our collaboration with KidSTART Singapore will benefit more than 6,000 children and their families, through strengthening family bonds and nurturing early childhood development and literacy. As KidSTART’s initiatives grow from strength to strength, we remain committed to helping more children from lower-income families grow holistically during their formative years. Adventures with Andi is a great example led by MOS Sun Xueling of how we can enable unique learning experiences and create memorable family moments.” Madam Rahayu adds, “We would like to thank MOS Sun Xueling for allowing KidSTART to adapt her book series into an interactive children’s play, as well as ‘Growing Together with KidSTART’ partner SP Group for their generous support towards KidSTART families. There are many ways to uplift children and Adventures with Andi is a great example of how the public, private and people sectors can work together to support KidSTART children in having a good start in life.” KidSTART mother of 4 children, Ms Teresa Christiana Katty, 34 years old shared that the family is looking forward to watching Adventures with Andi, which will be their first theatre experience. “My children and I enjoyed reading the “What Ants Do” book series received and are excited to watch the books come to life on stage at the upcoming Adventures with Andi play. It is a great way to occupy the children during the June holidays and I believe the play will teach my children about good values in a fun way. I want to thank KidSTART Singapore for providing us with such free family activities where we can enjoy family time and experience a play at the theatre for the very first time.”   KidSTART parent of six, Mdm Juliana Binte Samsudien, aged 35 also shared, “This June holidays, I am surprising my children with tickets to catch the play and believe this would be a great opportunity to develop their love for the arts and theatre. As a mother, I am always on the lookout for new experiences to help my children learn. After attending KidSTART Sea Adventures last year, I saw how they enjoyed themselves dancing to the music and characters. Till today they are still humming to the play’s tunes! I cannot wait to see their reactions when they watch Adventures with Andi.” Adventures with Andi runs from 9 to 11 June at SOTA Drama Theatre. Tickets are priced at $35 and $45 and members of the public can purchase them from Sistic. KidSTART families attend free of charge. This is the second play production by KidSTART Singapore, following the inaugural play, KidSTART Sea Adventures, in 2022.

Sustainabilityhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/energy-hub/sustainability/powering-future-engineering-talent
SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Powering Future Engineering Talent SUSTAINABILITY All set for the race are Singapore Polytechnic’s SunSPEC team (from left), Ng Qianhui, Roy Leung, Effy Chang and Lau Lok Yee. SP Group has been SunSPEC’s presenter and main sponsor since 2015, helping more than 70 students hone their engineering skills on their self-made solar car. A gruelling 3,000 km solar car race in blistering hot yet sometimes freezing conditions across the Australian desert will challenge a Singapore Polytechnic student team called SunSPEC. The team is out to prove that solar energy can effectively and efficiently power a car across this distance. The World Solar Challenge is arduous and the unexpected can happen – such as unpredictable climate conditions, strong winds, technical and mechanical faults and other incidents. Since February, the team has been working tirelessly to understand the workings of the solar car, SunSPEC 6, which has been entered for this year’s edition of the biennial race. They have picked up the baton from previous cohorts of the polytechnic’s final-year students. SunSPEC team members gaining hands-on experience under the tutelage of Singapore Polytechnic staff. Students are trained in mechanical systems, battery monitoring systems, solar panels, and electrical and electronic components. They also learn about the telemetry system which harnesses data analytics that serve as a health check for the solar car during the race. Eventually, their technical skills will be tested to the extreme as they have to fix all problems on the spot. Nothing will be left to chance, says Ng Qianhui, one of the 17 students in this year’s team. “Anything can go wrong. I’ve learnt to love this process of finding and fixing problems. It’s the way to be prepared,” she says. SP Group engineer, Lim Liang Yuan (in blue), a SunSPEC alumnus, returned to provide support to the team (in black) in the lead-up to the race. A comprehensive knowledge of the car is also necessary. “Even if something works, I want to know why it works,” says Roy Leung who is the telemetry expert. He will pull out connection points even if they are working because under them, there could be faults waiting to happen. “Battery queen” Effy Chang so known for being the most well-versed on battery monitoring systems, sees the car as a system, with the battery working in harmony with other components to perform optimally. Training future engineers can be expensive. The cost of materials can be substantial. Singapore Polytechnic lecturer and team manager Foo Fang Siong is very encouraged that SP Group is supporting the team with a $1 million sponsorship over five years, with the aim of grooming future engineers in creating sustainable solutions. “With this sponsorship, we are able to train and prepare the students as well as the staff for new industry trends and skills. This is since the SunSPEC 6 solar car is actually an Electric Vehicle and leverages similar technologies,” he says. Team participants, all final-year diploma students from various disciplines, can also apply for scholarships from SP Group. Alumni from previous SunSPEC teams who have joined SP are also returning to encourage and support the current group of participants. SP Group engineer, Lim Liang Yuan (in blue), a SunSPEC alumnus, returned to provide support to the team (in black) in the lead-up to the race. Meanwhile, the students are fast learners, absorbing as much as they can about solar technology and the workings of the car. They will solve problems quickly and leverage technology to give their solar car a strategic advantage in the race. Being on the team has made the students more aware that engineering and sustainability require more than just technical expertise. Endurance, persistence and problem solving are important skills to have. Says Qianhui, who is driving the solar car with Lau Lok Yee this year, “Don’t fear to fail. I might plan that one way might work. But there are faults, so amend and reiterate until you get it right.” To be a good engineer takes more than just problem-solving skills. It also means commitment, teamwork, the agility to adapt quickly. It sometimes even means taking a worldview to evolve with energy trends.   Effy, however, continues to toil hard for the solar car to perform optimally. After all, engineering is about reliability and creating real-world solutions to improve quality of life, she says.  This year’s SunSPEC team (in black tops) with staff from SP Group.

Asia-Pacific Utilities Improve In SP Group’s 2019 Smart Grid Indexhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Asia-Pacific-Utilities-Improve-In-SP-Group-s-2019-Smart-Grid-Index
Media Release Asia-Pacific Utilities Improve In SP Group’s 2019 Smart Grid Index Singapore, 31 October 2019 – Utilities in Asia Pacific nations made significant improvements in the 2019 Smart Grid Index (SGI) rankings with an overall improvement by 10 percentage points from 2018. Improvements were most notable in areas of integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), security, and customer empowerment and satisfaction. The SGI is the world’s first industry framework that measures and benchmarks grid smartness across 75 utilities from 35 countries. Here are the key findings from the 2019 results: Asia-Pacific utilities have made significant improvements in DER integration, security and customer empowerment and satisfaction. This reflects the increasing importance of enhancing renewable energy penetration into the grid, cyber security defence and a greater focus on customer satisfaction. State Grid Beijing was the most improved utility in this year’s results, increasing its score by 29 percentage points – from 50 per cent in 2018 to 79 per cent in 2019. Ranked #9 on the SGI, it made significant improvements in the areas of data analytics, DER integration and security. Key contributions include its first large grid-connected energy storage system, use of predictive analytics for Asset Health Index, adoption of the National Cyber Security Protocol and providing real-time energy consumption monitoring to customers. North American utilities continue to lead in smart grid development. As a region, they improved by 8 percentage points in Data Analytics. This can be attributed to increasing smart meter coverage and wider data analytics application to their grid system. It makes planning, operating and maintaining the network more efficient, thereby providing better value to customers. Ranked #1 on the SGI is PG&E for the second year running. The American utility scored 93 per cent, improving by 7 percentage points from 2018. It continued to achieve best practices in Monitoring & Control, Data Analytics, DER Integration, Green Energy and Security, and improved its score on supply reliability. Globally, there is increasing focus on security, which on average increased by more than 13 percentage points. This comes on the back of greater emphasis on strengthening against cyber security threats to utilities SP Group, ranked 33, scoring 66 per cent this year, an improvement of 16 percentage points from its 2018 score, mainly in the areas of green energy, data analytics and customer empowerment and satisfaction. This was due to its efforts to install an island-wide highspeed electric vehicle charging network, provide half-hourly electricity usage with smart meters and achieving higher customer satisfaction scores. Mr. Sim Kwong Mian, Chairman of the SP Engineering Council said: “We are greatly encouraged that within a short two years, almost one-third of the utilities benchmarked improved by more than 10 percentage points. We see utilities advancing to counter the potential impact of climate change and security threats, while meeting customer demands and expectations.” A simple definition of a smart grid is an electricity network that integrates distributed energy resources and deploys technology to better serve customers. Distributed Energy Resources (DER) refer to energy technologies such as solar panels, energy storage systems, and electric cars and their charging points that can be connected to and respond to signals from the grid. The SGI’s seven key dimensions are: Monitoring and Control Data Analytics Supply Reliability Integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Green Energy Security Customer Empowerment and Satisfaction   SP Group developed the SGI last year to advance its own grid development and encourage the sharing of best practices. The SGI benchmarking results identify best practices in smart grid development by utilities to enhance service offerings, save cost, and be more sustainable.

Sunlove Home Help Service – supported by the SP Heartware Fund, has been providing Mdm Yap with much needed assistance. Sunlove delivers hot meals to Mdm Yap everyday, and also provides transportation and escorts her for medical appointments.

She suffered a heart attack and required permanent pacemaker insertion. Her siblings have similar health problems and her parents suffer from diabetes and hypertension. Miss Nirmala lives with her parents and one sister. She has rented out her own flat and manages the financial needs from its rental. Miss Nirmala used to ambulate slowly with a walking frame. Her condition has deteriorated. Now, she requires assistance in managing her activities of daily living. The family depends on a domestic helper to perform the household chores and help in their daily activities. Miss Nirmala has to go to three hospitals for her regular medical appointments. As she is unable to move around independently, she needs to use a wheel chair and requires a caregiver to accompany her to the hospital. Since 2008, Swami Home Help Service –supported by the SP Heartware Fund, has been helping Miss Nirmala by providing transport and attendant service to take her to the hospitals.
