Media Release SP Group Partners Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City to Develop Energy-Saving Solutions Singapore & China, 31 August 2020 – SP Group (SP) today signed an agreement with the SinoSingapore Guangzhou Knowledge City Investment and Development Co. Ltd (GKC Co) to establish a joint venture (SP-GKC JV Co) to develop district cooling, heating and integrated energy solutions that will help the China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City (CSGKC) to achieve energy savings. The joint venture agreement was signed by SP’s Group Chief Executive Officer Mr Stanley Huang and GKC Co’s Chief Executive Officer Mr Chen Changxin at the 11th Singapore-Guangdong Collaboration Council (SGCC) meeting. The meeting, held over video conference in Guangzhou and Singapore, was co-chaired by Guangdong Governor Mr Ma Xingrui and Singapore’s Transport Minister Mr Ong Ye Kung. As part of the agreement, SP and GKC Co are working together to develop district cooling and heating solutions for the Knowledge Tower at the Jiulong Lake area in GKC. Leveraging the technology and SP’s experience in the energy industry, both parties will also focus on integrating sustainable energy solutions such as distributed energy, energy storage, energy efficiency and energy management systems. In the next phase of development, these solutions could be extended to other projects in the SinoSingapore International Technology Innovation Cooperation Demonstration Area within CSGKC, to enable more customers to enjoy substantial energy and cost savings. This will translate to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future for CSGKC and Guangzhou city. Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group said: “Our technology and operations at Raffles City Chongqing and Singapore’s Marina Bay have helped customers achieve cost savings and reduce energy consumption by 40 per cent. Through this partnership with CSGKC, SP Group looks forward to supporting China’s goal to build an ecological civilisation and Beautiful China1 , with our smart and sustainable energy solutions. Together, we aim to enable customers in China to enjoy a sustainable, low-carbon future.” Mr. Chen Changxin, CEO of GKC Co said: "As an important platform for China-Singapore collaboration, GKC Co has started the exchanges and cooperation with SP Group since the ground-breaking of GKC. This year marks the 30th anniversary of China-Singapore diplomacy and the 10th anniversary of GKC, it is a milestone for us to jointly establish a joint venture to develop the smart energy business. Based on the principle of “government-supported, enterprise-led, market-driven” and with the Knowledge Tower project at the Jiulong Lake as a start, we will implement investment, construction and operation of district cooling and heating solutions centred on the smart micro-grids layout, promote the development of smart energy businesses in GKC and gradually extend to GBA, so as to achieve synergistic improvement of commercial value, corporate benefits and social effects, and jointly create another successful model of ChinaSingapore collaboration." Raffles City Chongqing, where SP Group operates its advanced energy-efficient cooling and heating system, commenced operations in September 2019. SP’s cooling operations enabled Raffles City Chongqing to reduce energy consumption by more than 40 per cent savings, compared to conventional building chiller plants. SP designed and operates the world’s largest underground district cooling system at Singapore’s Marina Bay Financial district. Besides achieving substantial energy efficiency, the Marina Bay district cooling network achieved 100% reliability for 13 consecutive years, since it commenced operations in 2006. -Ends- 新加坡能源集团携手中新广州知识城实现节能解决方案 （新加坡、中国，2020 年 8 月 31 日）新加坡能源集团（SP Group）今天宣布与中新广州 知识城投资开发有限公司（简称“知识城合资公司”）签署合作协议，双方成立合资企业 开发区域供冷供热及综合能源解决方案，帮助中新广州知识城（简称“知识城”）实现节 能减排目标。 新加坡能源集团总裁黄天源和知识城合资公司总裁陈长新在新加坡-广东合作理事会（简 称“新粤合作理事会”）第十一次会议上签署了该合资协议。广东省省长马兴瑞先生和新 加坡交通部长王乙康先生分别在广州和新加坡主持了此次线上视频会议。 按照协议，新加坡能源集团与知识城合资公司将共同开发知识城九龙湖“知识塔”片区的 区域供冷供热解决方案。同时，借助新能源集团在能源领域的经验和技术，双方还将关注 一体化能源解决方案，如分布式能源、储能、能效管理及整合能源管理系统等方面。下一 阶段，这些技术将拓展到广州知识城“中新国际科技创新合作示范区”的其他项目中，使 更多客户受益于能耗和成本的大幅下降。这也将为知识城和广州市更清洁、可持续的能源 事业发展助力。 新加坡能源集团总裁黄天源先生说：“我们创新的技术和营运为重庆来福士和新加坡滨海 湾的客户节约了百分之四十的能耗。新加坡能源集团希望能够通过这次中新广州知识城的 合作，用我们的智慧可持续能源解决方案，继续支持中国的生态文明和‘美丽中国’2建 设，实现低碳和可持续发展的未来。” 知识城合资公司总裁陈长新说：“这个合资企业的建立正值中新建交 30 周年和广州知识 城成立 10 周年，对于知识城智慧能源产业发展来说有着里程碑式的意义。我们将坚持 ‘政府引导、企业先行、市场化运作’的原则，以九龙湖知识塔项目为起点，围绕智能微 网布局实施区域制冷和供热解决方案的投资、建设和运营。”陈长新表示，双方还将持续 提升知识城智慧能源产业发展水平，并将成功经验推广至粤港澳大湾区，从而实现商业价 值、企业效益和社会效应的协同提高，共同打造中新合作的又一成功典范。 新加坡能源集团在新加坡滨海湾金融区设计打造了世界上最大的地下区域供冷系统。该系 统自 2006 年投入运营以来已连续十三年实现 100%的可靠性。2019 年 9 月正式营业的重庆 来福士广场也采用了新能源集团的尖端高效节能供冷供热系统，实现了高达40%以上的节 能效果。新加坡能源集团将以中新广州知识城合作项目为契机，为中国持续带来高效节能 的解决方案，助力“美丽中国”建设。 -完-

SP Group receives NTUC’s top award for employers, for advancing future-ready skills and career pathwayshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-receives-NTUC-s-top-award-for-employers--for-advancing-future-ready-skills-and-career-pathways Media Release SP Group receives NTUC’s top award for employers, for advancing future-ready skills and career pathways Singapore, 3 May 2024 – At this year’s May Day Awards, SP Group (SP) is receiving the highest award for employers – the Plaque of Commendation (Star) – conferred by the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC). This recognition is underpinned by SP’s long-standing partnership with the Union of Power and Gas Employees (UPAGE) in advancing continuous skills upgrading and career pathways for SP’s 3,700 employees, sustainable wage growth and age-friendly work environments. Several notable initiatives have been introduced over the years. In 2018, SP launched Project FUSION, which stands for Future Skills in Everyone, with a structured career and development road map to enhance employability of staff. This has resulted in workers undergoing continuous training and upskilling in readiness for evolving industry needs, and benefitting from job transformation. Since then, SP has invested $52 million in its employees’ training and development, with 1.1 million training hours clocked. Technical officers Goh Yap Meng and Muhammad Shamil bin Abu Bakar are among SP’s employees who have undergone further education and training to be equipped for career progression and job transformation. The most recent joint effort between SP and UPAGE is Project Silver+ to pre-emptively address potential challenges faced by mature workers at the workplace. Key solutions implemented include modifications to facilities at work areas, the provision of age-friendly work tools and aids, and programmes that boost wellness and retirement adequacy. In tandem with skills upgrading and systematic job progression, SP regularly reviews and revises its employees’ wages to ensure these remain competitive and in line with Progressive Wage Model guidelines. Working closely with UPAGE, SP started a scheme to uplift the earnings of lower income earners by doubling their annual wage increment as part of efforts to provide meaningful wage growth for lower wage employees.   Receiving SP Group’s award at a ceremony on 10 May 2024, Group Chief Executive Officer Stanley Huang said, “We are honoured to receive this highest award for employers, with strong endorsement from UPAGE. It serves as a testament to our long-standing union-management partnership towards building a workforce well-equipped for the diverse and evolving needs of the industry. Our employees are instrumental in upholding Singapore’s world-class energy network reliability, and advancing SP’s sustainable energy solutions for customers.”     General Secretary of UPAGE Abdul Samad Abdul Wahab echoed the Union’s shared commitment to enhancing employability and welfare of workers. He said, “Our journey with SP Group has resulted in joint initiatives to meet the needs and aspirations of workers across the ranks. These holistic efforts have enabled workers to level up their competencies and perform roles that are valuable for the energy sector today and in the future. Our workers are also assured of competitive wages and having their well-being cared for. - Ends - Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search -20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2024/-20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdf Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search -20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2024/-20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdf Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search -20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2024/-20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdf Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search -20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2024/-20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdf Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search -20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2024/-20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdf Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search -20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2024/-20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdf Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search -20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2024/-20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdf Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search -20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2024/-20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdf Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search -20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2024/-20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdf Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search -20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2024/-20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdf Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search -20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2024/-20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdf Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=future-ready Search -20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2024/-20240514--The-Straits-Times---Preparing-a-future-ready-workforce.pdf SP Group receives NTUC’s top award for employers, for advancing future-ready skills and career pathwayshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-receives-NTUC-s-top-award-for-employers--for-advancing-future-ready-skills-and-career-pathways Media Release SP Group receives NTUC’s top award for employers, for advancing future-ready skills and career pathways Singapore, 3 May 2024 – At this year’s May Day Awards, SP Group (SP) is receiving the highest award for employers – the Plaque of Commendation (Star) – conferred by the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC).

The Singapore energy utilities company has developed this international benchmarking framework that will enable utilities to identify best-practices by leading industry players. This will help them to develop the infrastructure needed to support Smart Cities and serve customers better. While the provision of reliable, secure and efficient electricity supply remains crucial, there are other key considerations for developing a future-ready grid. The smart grid index provides a framework of seven key dimensions of an electricity grid. These are: supply reliability; monitoring and control; data analytics; integration of DER Distributed Energy Resources (DER); green energy; security; and customer empowerment and satisfaction. The framework was designed to be simple and quantifiable for utilities to easily determine what aspects they are strong in, and where they can improve. Using publicly available data, SP applied the framework on 45 utilities across 30 countries. The published results will allow utilities to identify leading players across the seven dimensions. They can reach out to their counterparts to learn industry best practices to drive smart grid development. At SP Group, we have drawn from our own experience in creating a framework to measure our grid performance and benchmark it internationally with other countries. It has been well received and accepted when previewed earlier this year to industry experts and fellow utilities at the International Utility Working Group meeting in Singapore in April, and at the Conference of the Electric Power Supply Industry in Kuala Lumpur in September. The index’s methodology and benchmarking studies were also validated by the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N). Mr Sim Kwong Mian, Chairman of the SP Engineering Council, said, “We created this index as we wanted a simple, quantifiable framework to advance our own grid development. It has been useful for us and we would like to contribute it to the wider utilities community. It will enable us to learn best practices from each other, towards developing a future-ready grid and to serve our customers better. “Smart grids are a critical infrastructure that supports economic growth while improving the quality of life in a city. SP Group’s smart grid index is useful for utilities to define, measure and advance in the fundamental aspects of grid development. It will provide important data points, aids healthy industry discourse and enables utilities to deliver sustainable solutions for the future,” Professor Kam Chan Hin, Deputy Provost (Education), and former Chair, School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University.
