Gas Transportation Tariffs - Shippers with Customers Off-taking NG at High Pressure (wef 1 Apr 25).pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:c013c932-c037-41ca-b91b-796285c50308/Gas%20Transportation%20Tariffs%20-%20Shippers%20with%20Customers%20Off-taking%20NG%20at%20High%20Pressure%20(wef%201%20Apr%2025).pdf
GAS TRANSPORTATION TARIFFS (for Shippers with customers off-taking natural gas at high pressure) (W.E.F. 1 Apr 25) 1 Introduction 1.1 Under the Gas Network Code, PowerGas is the Gas Transporter and is responsible for maintaining the reliability and safety of the gas transportation network in Singapore. PowerGas’ transportation business is regulated by the Energy Market Authority (EMA). The transportation tariffs levied by PowerGas are approved by the EMA. 1.2 PowerGas charges transportation tariffs for the transport of gas through its network. PowerGas’ transportation tariffs are levied on Shippers and not the end-users. End-users’ transportation charges imposed by Shippers are commercial arrangements between both parties. 2 Natural Gas Transmission Tariffs 2.1 There are two gas transmission networks, namely Transmission Network 1 and Transmission Network 2. Transmission Network 1 refers to the natural gas transmission network conveying both piped natural gas and regasified LNG from West Natuna (Indonesia) and the LNG Terminal. Transmission Network 2 is the natural gas transmission network conveying both piped natural gas and regasified LNG from South Sumatra (Indonesia), Attap Valley (Malaysia) and the LNG Terminal. 2.2 Transmission tariffs consist of capacity and usage charges (refer to Section 3 below for details). These charges are applicable to Shippers off-taking gas at high pressure. The same charging structure also applies to Shippers with Small Transmission Customers (i.e. with load less than or equal to 5 bbtud). 3 Transmission Charging Structure 3.1 Shippers book capacity with PowerGas to transport gas from designated injection points to off-take points. Shippers pay entry and exit charges based on their respective booked capacity. In addition, a usage charge is levied on the volume of gas transported. 3.2 Arising from EMA’s notification to the industry dated 21 March 2024, a GSC of 22 cents/mmBtu for PNG Injection Points or GSC of 3 cents/mmBtu for LNG Injection Points is imposed on PNG and LNG gas users respectively with effect from 1 Apr 25 to recover the cost associated with Strategic Capacity (as defined in EMA's Policy Paper issued to the industry dated 30 Sep 2019). The Transporter will collect the GSC from all Shippers as an agent for and on behalf of SLNG. The GSC will be reviewed from time to time as directed by EMA and will be included as an uplift in the usage charge. Details of the transmission charges are shown in Table 1 of the Appendix. 3.3 These transmission charges do not include specific cost items which need to be determined on a case-by-case basis for inclusion into the final transmission charges. 3.4 For Shippers with Small Transmission Customers (i.e. requiring gas at high pressure, but with load of less than or equal to 5 bbtud), the transportation charges as shown in Table 2 of the appendix shall apply. 3.5 Shippers will have to pay Overrun Charges in the event they off-take gas above their booked capacity. These Overrun Charges are necessary to encourage the efficient use of the gas network. There are two types of Overrun Charges: • Authorised Capacity Overrun Charge: If a Shipper applies for additional capacity above the booked capacity (i.e. capacity overrun), the Authorised Capacity Overrun Charge, equivalent to 1.25 times the Transmission Capacity Charge rate, shall be applied on that additional capacity. 2 • Unauthorised Capacity Overrun Charge: If a Shipper does not apply for Authorised Capacity Overrun for utilisation of additional capacity above the booked capacity, it will pay 2 times the Transmission Capacity Charge rate for that additional capacity utilised. 4 Appendix – Table of Charges Transmission Network 1 (locational) Transmission Network 2 (locational) Table 1: Transmission Charges (Exclusive of GST) Entry Capacity Charge per annum ($/MMBtu/hr) Exit Capacity Charge per annum ($/MMBtu/hr/km) Transmission Usage Charge ($/MMBtu) 891.91 57.94 0.0087 1,503.65 (Attap Valley Injection Point) 1,093.61 (Sakra Injection Point) 43.07 0.0132 New Pipeline – utilised 276.51 276.51* 0.0034 New Pipeline – excess 232.31 232.31* 0.0041 GSC for PNG Injection Point N.A.

[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.

News Release UOB and SP Group partner to offset 100% or more of household electricity carbon emissions for UOB EVOL cardholders Cardholders can now achieve their sustainability goals seamlessly and conveniently when they charge their utilities bills to their card Singapore, 23 November 2022 – UOB EVOL cardholders will now be able to offset 100 per cent or more of their household electricity carbon footprint for free when they charge SP Group’s (SP) utilities bills to their credit card, via a new exclusive feature jointly launched by UOB and SP this month. 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.

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.

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.

Singapore’s First Centralised Power Plant Simulator & Structured Genco Training Programmehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Singapore-s-First-Centralised-Power-Plant-Simulator---Structured-Genco-Training-Programme
Media Release Singapore’s First Centralised Power Plant Simulator & Structured Genco Training Programme 1. Workforce training on operations for Singapore’s power generation companies (Gencos) will now be centralised and standardised with the launch of Singapore’s first Centralised Power Plant Simulator (CPPS). 2. Developed by the Singapore Institute of Power and Gas (SIPG) – the Centralised Training Institute for Power and Gas sectors – in partnership with the Energy Market Authority (EMA) and Gencos, the CPPS courses mark the first time that Gencos operating in a competitive environment have come together to collectively design and level training standards for the sector. This ensures a consistent level of training, which plays a critical role in ensuring a secure and stable supply of electricity for Singapore. 3. Six courses integrated with CPPS training have been co-developed by SIPG and Gencos comprising Keppel Merlimau Cogen O&M, PacificLight Power, Sembcorp Cogen, Senoko Energy, Tuas Power and YTL PowerSeraya. Spanning basic to advanced levels, the training programme establishes a consistent standard for skills training, such as in power plant operations, process controls, and management of common equipment alarms and malfunctions in a controlled environment separate from actual day-to-day plant operations, ensuring the safety of participants as well as plant and system reliability. 4. A simulated environment also ensures that the workforce could be trained in scenarios which are rare in the power sector but can lead to plant shutdowns. A unique feature of the CPPS courses is that various Gencos have committed to provide trainers who are industry practitioners, who will be able to impart valuable knowledge and skills to the participants. 5. As part of the launch of the CPPS, SIPG has introduced a structured training programme consisting of two new Power Generation Certificate Programmes with certificates recognised by all Gencos. Certificates will be issued upon the completion of the CPPS courses, as well as other Power Generation courses offered by SIPG. 6. Minister of State (MOS) for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling officiated the launch of the CPPS at SIPG today. In her opening speech, MOS Low commended key industry partners for the strong collaboration to bolster the competency of its workforce. 7. Mr Chia Soo Ping, Principal of SIPG, said: “As the energy landscape continues its dynamic and transformative journey, SIPG is focused on cultivating competencies and technological know-how needed for the industry to keep pace with change. The Gencos’ collaborative and structured approach promotes sharing and adoption of best practices. The Centralised Power Plant Simulator training reaps efficiencies and optimises the pooling of resources and expertise across all Gencos in Singapore to strengthen the overall resilience of the workforce for the energy sector.” 8. On the launch of the CPPS, Ms Violet Chen, EMA’s Industry Ecosystem Development Director, said: “We are heartened by the collective effort of SIPG and Gencos to strengthen the training of its workforce. The Power sector will continue to play a critical role in keeping the lights on and gas flowing for Singapore as we step up efforts to advance Singapore’s energy transition towards a sustainable future.”
New Residential Demand Response Pilot to Empower Households to Reduce Electricity Consumption during Demand Peakshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/New-Residential-Demand-Response-Pilot-to-Empower-Households-to-Reduce-Electricity-Consumption-during-Demand-Peaks
Media Release New Residential Demand Response Pilot to Empower Households to Reduce Electricity Consumption during Demand Peaks The Energy Market Authority (EMA) and SP Group (SP) will pilot a Residential Demand Response (R-DR) programme to empower households equipped with smart meters to actively reduce electricity consumption during demand peaks in the power system. Targeted to be launched by second half of 2024, this pilot is the first-of-its-kind in Singapore to call upon households to make a significant difference for a more resilient and sustainable energy future. With system peak demand forecasted to increase at a compound annual growth rate of up to 6.5% over the next five years, reducing electricity consumption temporarily during peak demand periods, otherwise known as Demand Response (DR), helps to keep the power system running smoothly and more efficiently by making use of demand-side resources in addition to supply-side (such as large conventional power plants) to balance electricity demand and supply.  For commercial and industrial companies, EMA has seen about a 1.5 times increase in demand-side resources, totaling to about 100MW since the launch of EMA’s regulatory sandbox[1]. With smart meters progressively being deployed to residential and non-residential consumers, more consumers will soon be able to contribute to DR, by using these smart meters to monitor their electricity consumption, making electricity management simpler and more rewarding. Consumers can keep track of their weekly carbon emissions and adjust their electricity consumption habits accordingly to help reduce emissions, thereby minimising their environmental impact. As of September 2023, SP has installed more than 834,000 smart electricity meters across residential and non-residential premises. The residential demand response pilot will use the SP mobile application (SP app) to send alerts to participating households to temporarily reduce or defer their electricity consumption. Households can take action by deferring the use of home appliances such as washing machines or dishwashers, or lower the temperature or even switch off air-conditioning. Participants will in turn enjoy benefits such as financial incentives. On the pilot for households, Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said: “The demand response pilot helps to involve households in lowering electricity demand during peak periods. This can help create a more sustainable and efficient energy ecosystem for everyone.” Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, said: “Partnering EMA on this pilot, SP Group will empower consumers with digital solutions to be more energy efficient and reduce carbon emission. Enhanced features on our SP App will provide consumers with timely and useful information on their utilities usage and patterns. Insights from this data are aimed at nudging consumers to make adjustments easily to reduce their consumption." [1] In 2022, EMA launched a two-year regulatory sandbox for commercial and industrial companies to optimise their energy consumption. Participating companies will have to manage their electricity demand when activated and receive payments as an incentive for reducing their electrical demand on the national power grid. -- End -- About the Energy Market Authority The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry.

[20140506] My Paper - Free N95 Masks In Kits For Every Homehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/0421b2c2-5e5a-41f7-afdc-f6784930a64c/%5B20140506%5D+My+Paper+-+Free+N95+Masks+In+Kits+For+Every+Home.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
Free N95 masks in kits for every home BY ADRIAN LIM E VERY household here will receive three N95 face masks, as part of a nation-wide push to get individuals to think about being prepared for emergencies, such as haze crises and flu pandemics. The 3M brand foldable masks are packed in a “Stay Prepared” kit that will also contain instructions in four languages on how to put them on, and useful emergency contact numbers. A total of 1.2 million kits will be delivered to homes between today and next Monday. The initiative is led by Temasek Cares, a non-profit philantrophic arm under Temasek Holdings, in partnership with Singapore Power and Singapore Post. Temasek Cares will be pumping in $4 million from its $40 million war chest, called the Temasek Emergency Preparedness Fund, for the mask distribution programme. The fund was set up earlier this year to help Singaporeans prepare and deal with emergencies. Last month, a $1.5 million project to train 60 therapists to help children deal with traumatic situations, such as accidents, was also launched. Richard Magnus, chairman of Temasek Cares, said the kits will give households an “initial stock” of masks to encourage them to plan their own contingencies. “It’s a habit of mind we want to prompt... Last June, there was a severe haze that impacted Singapore... we need to be prepared,” said Mr Magnus. The Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre expects this year’s haze to be worse than last year’s. This is because of lower than usual rainfall expected from now till October in parts of the region and the El Nino weather pattern, which is linked to drought, said reports. Being prepared earlier will also prevent a repeat of last June, when people scrambled to stock up on face masks. An additional 17,000 kits will also be delivered to over 140 charity homes, and another 300,000 have been prepared on standby for needy families. Mary Abishagam, 57, a senior administrative assistant with Singapore Power, said she will be volunteering an extra three hours every day, on top of her regular work, to help pack the kits for delivery. “It’s going to be challenging, but we will manage... We are getting people prepared and not many people have thought of keeping masks in their homes,” she said cheerily. Members of the public who wish to get more information about the delivery of the kits can call a hotline, 1800-738-2000, from today until May 24, between 8am and 8pm daily. adrianl@sph.com.sg
