Consumers to sign Connection Agreement No • No Electricity Generation Licence required • Register for the applicable options available for market participation and settlement (refer to Market Settlement section for more details) • Yes SPS to inform LEW to proceed with Turn- On application • All required documents need to be submitted and approved before Turn-On. • Apply for the applicable Generation Licence (refer to Electricity Generation Licence section for more details) • Register with the Energy Market Company (EMC) to receive payment for excess electricity sold back to the grid (refer to Market Settlement section for more details) September 2018 3 Turn-On Solar PV – User Guide for Generators 2. Electricity Generation Licence The electricity licensing requirements for solar PV systems will be based on the aggregate of the Alternating Current (AC) inverter capacities (“installed generation capacity”) at the point of connection 1 to the grid. Any person who engages in the generation of electricity with a solar PV system with installed generation capacity of 1 MWac or more but less than 10 MWac is required to apply to EMA for a Wholesaler (Generation) Licence. For installed generation capacity of 10 MWac or more, he has to apply for a Generation Licence. All relevant licenses should be obtained before any turn-on of solar PV installations. A summary of the licensing requirements is shown in the table below. Table 1: Licensing Requirements for Solar PV System Installed Capacity of Solar PV System Below 1 MWac Connected to the Power Grid? Yes No 1 MWac or more but less Yes than 10 MWac No Yes 10 MWac or more No * An Electrical Installation Licence may still be required. Type of Licence* Exempted Wholesaler (Generation) Licence Exempted Generation Licence Application for the wholesaler or generation licence can be made on EMA’s website: http://www.ema.gov.sg/Licensees_Electricity_Licences.aspx 3. Electrical Installation An electrical installation refers to any electrical wiring, fitting or apparatus used for the conveyance and control of electricity in any premises. A solar PV system installed within such premises forms part of the consumer’s electrical installation and should comply with the requirements stipulated in the Electricity Act (Cap. 89A), the Electricity (Electrical Installations) Regulations and the Singapore Standard CP5 Code of Practice for Electrical Installations. 1 The point of connection refers to the point at which the solar PV system is connected directly or indirectly to SP PowerAsset’s substation. September 2018 4 Solar PV – User Guide for Generators All electrical work for an electrical installation, including a solar PV system, must be undertaken or carried out by a Licensed Electrical Workers (LEWs). Such electrical work includes new wiring, rewiring and extensions which have to be tested before the supply is turned on. When consumer needs any electrical work to be done at his premises, he is advised to check that the person whom he intends to engage to undertake or perform the electrical work has a valid electrical worker licence issued by the Authority. It is an offence for a person: i. To carry out or caused to be carried out any electrical work unless he holds a valid electrical worker licence; or ii. To engage knowingly any person who is not a licensed electrical worker to carry out any electrical work. For more details, you may wish to refer to ELISE website for the list of LEW. Electrical Installation Licence LEW will need to apply for an Electrical Installation Licence for the installation if the usage or operation of an electrical installation exceeds 45 kVA of approved load for non-domestic purposes. Electrical installations are licensed to ensure that owners/users of certain electrical installations engage a LEW to take charge of and maintain their electrical installations for reason of safety. A grid-connected solar PV system is also categorised as an electrical installation. A new solar PV system will be covered under the existing electrical installation licence upon connection to the installation by the LEW taking charge of the electrical installation. If there is no existing electrical installation licence, the LEW shall apply for electrical installation licence for his solar PV system. Safety requirements Currently under the electrical installation licensing scheme, the consumer’s appointed LEW is required to carry out safety inspection and certification of the electrical installation, including the solar PV system, according to the conditions specified under the electrical installation licence. Solar PV systems require regular inspection and maintenance to ensure that the system remains efficient and safe for operation. In most cases, equipment manufacturers will provide maintenance guidelines for their specific components. It is important to ensure that the maintenance requirement is carried out according to the recommendation and certified by the LEW. September 2018 5 Solar PV – User Guide for Generators 4. Connection Requirements If you intend to connect and operate your solar PV system in parallel to the power grid, your appointed LEW will have to complete the online Application Form and submit the following documents to SPS via Singapore Power (SP) eBusiness Portal: • Document Checklist and Declaration of Compliance to SP Powergrid’s (SPPG) Technical Requirements • Application for Net Export Rebate Form • Letter of Consent • PQ Compliance Report • Inverter(s) Specifications • Solar panel(s) Specifications • Inverter(s) Type Test Reports (Harmonics, Flicker, DC Injection) • Single Line Diagram (from PV system to Point of Common Coupling (PCC) • PSO Data Form (only applicable for solar PV systems 1 MWac and above) • Certificate of Compliance (only applicable for licensed installation who are eligible to appoint their LEW to commission the solar PV system) • Commissioning Declaration (only applicable for licensed installation who are eligible to appoint their LEW to commission the solar PV system) Thereafter, your appointed LEW will have to consult SPPG on the connection scheme and technical requirements. You will need to sign a Connection Agreement with the Transmission Licensee for the generation connection to your PV generation facility.

Market Settlement Similar to other commercial generators, a standalone solar PV generator is required to register with the Energy Market Company (EMC) as Market Participant (MP); and to register their Solar Generation Facility, in order to receive payment for export of electricity into the grid. They will be paid nodal price for the selling of solar electricity back to the grid, and are subjected to the applicable market charges. The required registration documents can be found below. Market Participant Registration • MP Registration form • Signed PSO-MP Agreement and Generation Facility Operating (GFO) Agreement with PSO (if applicable) Generation Facility Registration • The Generation Facility Registration form (which includes PSO Standing Data Form for IGS) • Approved Connection Agreement from SP PowerAssets • Signed MSSL-MP Agreement All the documents should be approved before the solar PV system is turned on. A summary of the market payments and charges for such installations can be found in the table below. Table 2: Market Payment and Charges for Standalone Solar PV Generators Applicable Payments / Charges Energy Generation Energy Consumption Spinning Reserves Regulation Reserves (i.e. AFP) EMC Fees Power System Operator (PSO) Fees Market Support Services (MSS) Charge Description Energy Payment / Charges Nodal Price (to be paid based on net export) Uniform Singapore Electricity Prices (USEP) + Hourly Energy Uplift Charge (HEUC) (to be charged based on net import) Reserves Charges Only applicable for solar PV systems more than 10 MWac (subject to change based on the New Pricing Mechanism Framework) Half-hourly AFP (to be charged based on gross generation and gross consumption) Non-Reserves Market Charges Yearly revised EMC Fees (to be charged based on net import or net export) Daily revised PSO Fees (to be charged based on net import or net export) Yearly revised MSS Charge (to be charged based on net import only) September 2018 9 Solar PV – User Guide for Generators Applicable Payments / Charges Monthly Energy Uplift Charge (MEUC) Use of System (UOS) Uncontracted Capacity Charge (High-Tension & Above Network only) Description Monthly revised MEUC prices (to be charged based on net import only) Grid Charges Yearly revised UOS Charge (to be charged based on import channel) Cost is dependent on type of backup required 6. Intermittency Pricing Mechanism Given the intermittent nature of solar PV, reserves from conventional power sources are required to ensure system stability. For example, cloud cover or shadows may cause solar PV output to drop quickly, which requires the need for reserves to make up for the shortfall. Without the back-up through reserves sources, consumers are exposed to the risk of power disruptions, which happened in other countries with large amounts of intermittent generation. To ensure the sustainable growth of solar, a balance has to be struck between the benefits of solar generation and the intermittency costs it imposes on the system. Hence, it is appropriate to consider a mechanism, Intermittency Pricing Mechanism (IPM), to allocate the fair share of reserves costs to solar. Upon its implementation, the IPM will apply to all IGS, except for certain groups which the EMA had previously indicated that would not be subject to the IPM. The groups include: a. Residential consumers with embedded solar PV systems below 1 MWac; and b. Non-residential consumers with embedded solar PV systems connected to the system on or before 31 January 2018, unless (i) they retrofit their IGS systems such that re-commissioning by SP PowerGrid would be required in the process; or (ii) 25 years from the commissioning date of their existing IGS systems, whichever occurs earlier. More details on the IPM can be found in EMA’s Consultation Paper. September 2018 10 Solar PV – User Guide for Generators 7. Monitoring Requirements With the expected increase in solar PV systems in Singapore, the Power System Operator (PSO) would need to manage the intermittent nature of such sources to ensure that the security and reliability of the power system is not compromised. Most importantly, PSO also needs to ensure that sufficient reserve capacity is available to respond to sudden fluctuations in solar output. Hence, PSO shall require solar PV systems with an installed capacity of 1 MWac and above at each site/facility to provide the Active Power output (AC-side) of its solar PV system(s), sampled at one-minute intervals and solar irradiance from sensor installed in close proximity to the PV panels. For more detailed technical requirement, please contact EMA at EMA_PSO_EMS@ema.gov.sg. Localised Network Limit As there may be physical constraints of each network ring, there could be a limit to the amount of solar PV systems that the network circuit can support. Therefore, depending on the limitations in that area, the permissible capacity of solar PV systems in each location may differ. Hence, parties who wish to invest in solar PV systems should check if there are possible network constraints in their preferred locations, before making their investment decisions. 8. Decommissioning Requirements If you intend to decommission the entire solar PV system installed in your premises any time after they have been connected to the Transmission System, your appointed LEW will have to complete the decommissioning form and submit to SP PowerGrid Ltd at least 30 days in advance before the intended decommission commences. However, if the intent is to revise the solar PV capacity installed in your premises any time after they have been connected to the Transmission System, your appointed LEW will have to complete the online Application Form and submit the following documents to SPS via Singapore Power (SP) eBusiness Portal: • Document Checklist and Declaration of Compliance to SP PowerGrid’s (SPPG) Technical Requirements • Application for Net Export Rebate Form • Letter of Consent • PQ Compliance Report • Inverter(s) Specifications • Solar panel(s) Specifications September 2018 11 Solar PV – User Guide for Generators • Inverter(s) Type Test Reports (Harmonics, Flicker, DC Injection) • Single Line Diagram (from PV system to Point of Common Coupling (PCC) • PSO Data Form (only applicable for solar PV systems 1 MWac and above) • Certificate of Compliance (only applicable for licensed installation who are eligible to appoint their LEW to commission the solar PV system) • Commissioning Declaration (only applicable for licensed installation who are eligible to appoint their LEW to commission the solar PV system) September 2018 12 Solar PV – User Guide for Generators 9.

Search 30-Jun-2022.pdfhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/pdf/media-coverage/2022/30-Jun-2022.pdf THE STRAITS TIMES Tengah residents to get dedicated car-sharing service from June next year Various electrified Toyota models will be made available to Tengah residents through a car-sharing pilot between Borneo Motors and SP Group. PHOTO: SCREENGRAB FROM GOOGLE MAPS Lee Nian Tjoe Senior Transport Correspondent PUBLISHED JUN 30, 2022, 5:40 PM SGT SINGAPORE - Residents in Tengah town will have access to various electrified Toyota models through a car-sharing pilot between Toyota distributor Borneo Motors and energy provider SP Group. The announcement was made at a signing ceremony for the memorandum of understanding between the two parties on Thursday (June 30). When launched in June next year, the cars can be booked through the SP smartphone app or the Kinto Share app operated by Borneo Motors. This will be the first time that users of SP Group's services can hire a car through its smartphone app. Ms Jasmine Wong, the chief executive of Inchcape Singapore and Greater China, which owns Borneo Motors, said: "With this initiative, we combine our expertise in electrified vehicles with SP Group's eco-charging solutions to embark on a significant step in steering the nation towards a more responsible and sustainable way of living." In addition, Borneo Motors and SP Group will set up an innovation and experience centre in the housing estate to help Tengah residents learn about sustainable mobility solutions. Borneo Motors launched Kinto Share last year for its on-demand car-sharing service with Lexus models. On its website, prices for daily rental start from $198. The collaboration with SP Group will see the vehicles being parked at dedicated carparks in the Tengah township. The exact details are still being worked out. This is the first time Kinto Share will serve a housing estate. Currently, users of the car-sharing service pick up the vehicles from the Lexus Boutique in Leng Kee Road. They can also pay for doorstep delivery and retrieval. SP Group and Borneo Motors are also conducting joint research in electrification, focusing on areas such as user behaviour and vehicle energy consumption, to further develop their future electric mobility programmes. The pilot, which runs for five years, will initially have eight Toyota models, seven of which are hybrids that do not require access to an EV charger. The eighth is the bZ4X, the Japanese car brand's first fully-electric vehicle, which will be officially launched in Singapore by then. A plug-in hybrid model is said to be in the pipeline. To encourage take-up, Tengah residents will be offered preferential rates for both the car rental and EV charging. Located in the western part of Singapore, Tengah consists of five districts with 42,000 residential units. Touted as a "smart-energy town", it features EV-ready carparks. Solar panels located on the top of residential blocks supply the needed electricity to power selected parking lots with EV chargers.

The 38-year-old Principal Engineer is part of the team designing and building the first centralised cooling system (CCS) for a residential estate in Singapore – in the Tengah eco-town. Instead of individual compressor units mounted on aircon ledges, Mr Liu is tasked to build a centralised system which circulates chilled water to and from each flat to cool air within the flat, thus delivering air-conditioning service to 19,000 households in the estate. The first homes will be ready in 2023. “It is definitely a challenge because we have to work with many other parties to overcome the space constraints,” says Mr Liu. In his previous posting in SP Group, Mr Liu worked at an underground district cooling system that serves the Marina Bay central business district. But this time, Mr Liu has to deal with space constraints of a different kind. “In HDB flats, it’s not cost-efficient to have large underground spaces, so we have to think out of the box and find space for our cooling equipment,” Mr Liu shares. Eventually, the project team decided to place the CCS equipment on the HDB block roof, which would allow precious ground space to be used by the community. HDB flat rooftops would host the CCS equipment which service a cluster of HDB blocks. This arrangement would optimise the cooling output of the CCS equipment, achieving both energy efficiency and supply reliability. Mr Liu is proud that he plays a part in transforming the energy sector to meet climate goals.

We are helping to improve lives by the meaningful transformation of the power industry. This brings me a lot of satisfaction as an engineer,” he says. Reaping benefits from economies of scale In a CCS, a few interconnected centralised plants produce chilled water which is piped to individual households. “Colder” chilled water produced at the centralised plants is circulated to the indoor air-conditioner (known as chilled water fan coil unit or FCU) in each flat. The FCU recirculates the air within the flat and cools the air. In the process, the chilled water is “warmed” up. The warmer water is then returned to the centralised plants to be chilled again and repeat the process. Because the centralised chilled water plants are 30 per cent more energy efficient by design than individual split units found typically in households, CCS is more economical for air-conditioning of flats. Mr Liu Yue is the deputy lead for the construction of the centralised cooling system that will deliver air-conditioning service to 19,000 households in Tengah eco-town. PHOTO: SP GROUP Air-conditioned comfort with lower emissions Air-conditioning is ubiquitous in tropical Singapore. According to the Department of Statistics, about 80 per cent of Singapore households own air-conditioners, and from NEA household electricity consumption profile, air-conditioning contributes about 24 per cent of the average household electricity consumption. With rising incomes and warming temperatures, air-conditioning ownership and the use of air conditioners are set to rise. Worldwide, the use of air-conditioners results in the emission of nearly two million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year, or about 4 per cent of the global share. There is therefore an increasing need to reduce carbon footprint from more energy efficient air-conditioning systems. The reduction in electricity consumption from CCS will contribute towards Singapore’s ambitious carbon footprint reduction commitments. Singapore aims to accelerate its timeline to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, peaking emissions in 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. While Singapore’s carbon emissions represent a small percentage of the global share (0.13 per cent in 2020), Singapore’s per capita emissions are very high, about twice the global average at 12 tonnes annually. If Singaporeans can reduce their carbon emissions significantly, it would demonstrate how people can meaningfully counteract climate change without severely lowering their standard of living. Mr Liu is energised by his contribution to help Singapore meet its climate goals. “The CCS we are building will enable Tengah residents to lower their carbon footprint through an energy-efficient cooling system. Just by living in the estate, each resident has already started the sustainability journey. This is a huge motivating factor to every engineer working on the Tengah project. “We started from ground zero and had our fair share of roadblocks in the journey. With all the hard work we put in, it is very rewarding to see everything come to fruition. I am glad to be able to play a part in pioneering the most futuristic town in Singapore towards smart and sustainable living. I guess it's my way of leaving my mark – a green one,” adds Mr Liu. Energy-efficient cooling for a warming world Leading the effort for more efficient cooling systems, SP Group will be implementing various types of cooling systems in different capacities, both in commercial and residential buildings. Its flagship district cooling system in the Marina Bay CBD network will be expanding to cool 28 commercial buildings by 2026. The savings in electricity consumption is estimated to reduce about 20,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to removing 17,672 cars off the road. SP Group is establishing Singapore’s largest industrial district cooling system for STMicroelectronics at the Ang Mo Kio Technopark. By the time it is operational in 2025, it will reduce carbon emissions by up to 120,000 tonnes annually. SP Group is also constructing a distributed district cooling network in Tampines, where seven existing buildings will be retrofitted by 2025. Transitioning the world into a decarbonised future Beyond its role as the national grid operator, SP Group actively pursues sustainability initiatives as a key part of Singapore’s climate strategy. Its climate initiatives include a nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network, deploying rooftop solar energy generation, and smart electricity metering to monitor and reduce usage. SP Group has also exported these technologies to overseas markets where there is demand for sustainable energy solutions. SP Group has provided expertise to build district cooling and heating systems, smart metering and solar power generation in cities in China, Thailand and Vietnam.

PHOTO: SCREENGRAB FROM GOOGLE MAPS Lee Nian Tjoe Senior Transport Correspondent PUBLISHED JUN 30, 2022, 5:40 PM SGT SINGAPORE - Residents in Tengah town will have access to various electrified Toyota models through a car-sharing pilot between Toyota distributor Borneo Motors and energy provider SP Group. The announcement was made at a signing ceremony for the memorandum of understanding between the two parties on Thursday (June 30). When launched in June next year, the cars can be booked through the SP smartphone app or the Kinto Share app operated by Borneo Motors. This will be the first time that users of SP Group's services can hire a car through its smartphone app. Ms Jasmine Wong, the chief executive of Inchcape Singapore and Greater China, which owns Borneo Motors, said: "With this initiative, we combine our expertise in electrified vehicles with SP Group's eco-charging solutions to embark on a significant step in steering the nation towards a more responsible and sustainable way of living." In addition, Borneo Motors and SP Group will set up an innovation and experience centre in the housing estate to help Tengah residents learn about sustainable mobility solutions. Borneo Motors launched Kinto Share last year for its on-demand car-sharing service with Lexus models. On its website, prices for daily rental start from $198. The collaboration with SP Group will see the vehicles being parked at dedicated carparks in the Tengah township. The exact details are still being worked out. This is the first time Kinto Share will serve a housing estate. Currently, users of the car-sharing service pick up the vehicles from the Lexus Boutique in Leng Kee Road. They can also pay for doorstep delivery and retrieval. SP Group and Borneo Motors are also conducting joint research in electrification, focusing on areas such as user behaviour and vehicle energy consumption, to further develop their future electric mobility programmes. The pilot, which runs for five years, will initially have eight Toyota models, seven of which are hybrids that do not require access to an EV charger. The eighth is the bZ4X, the Japanese car brand's first fully-electric vehicle, which will be officially launched in Singapore by then. A plug-in hybrid model is said to be in the pipeline. To encourage take-up, Tengah residents will be offered preferential rates for both the car rental and EV charging. Located in the western part of Singapore, Tengah consists of five districts with 42,000 residential units. Touted as a "smart-energy town", it features EV-ready carparks.

SP Group Offers EV Full Charging In 30 Minuteshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-Offers-EV-Full-Charging-In-30-Minutes Media Release SP Group Offers EV Full Charging In 30 Minutes Singapore, 9 January 2019 – Electric vehicle (EV) users can now fully charge their vehicles in 30 minutes at SP Group’s (SP) island-wide charging network, with the largest number of fast direct current (DC) chargers. SP is building Singapore’s largest public EV charging network with 1,000 points, including 250 DC charging points, by 2020. SP’s first wave of 38 charging points are located at commercial buildings, industrial sites and educational institutions. (See Annex for the list of charging locations) The locations are close to amenities such as food centres, offering drivers greater convenience while waiting for their vehicles to be charged. There are 19 high-powered 50kW direct current (DC) charging points and the other 19 are 43kW alternating current (AC) charging points. These are among the fastest EV charging points in Singapore. The 50kW DC chargers can fully charge a car in 30 minutes. Over the next few years, SP will introduce more high-powered DC charging points of up to 350kW. Other than SP’s, there are six other DC chargers in Singapore. SP’s new additions will be a game-changer in improving the charging turnaround time for EV drivers in Singapore. EV drivers can also enjoy at least 50 per cent cost savings compared to typical Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles for every kilometre travelled. The cost of using SP charging points will be regularly adjusted, mainly influenced by the prevailing electricity costs in Singapore. “Our nation-wide public charging network offers EV drivers fast charging, with greater convenience and a seamless experience through our digital solution, at cost-competitive rates. This will encourage wider adoption of green mobility in Singapore, and enable drivers to save cost,” said Mr Wong Kim Yin, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group. EV drivers can use SP Group’s charging service through the SP Utilities mobile application where they can search for the nearest available charging points, receive updates on their charging sessions and make payment. This first wave of locations includes Singapore Polytechnic. The SP charging points there will also serve as an education and research platform, as part of Singapore Polytechnic’s engineering curriculum to train students and adult learners. Thought this collaboration, SP Group and Singapore Polytechnic aim to develop new skills related to EVs and related charging technologies for Singapore. SP Group is also showcasing its charging points at the Singapore Motorshow 2019 at Suntec City from 10 to 13 January 2019. They will be located at the BMW and Hyundai booths.

The 38-year-old Principal Engineer is part of the team designing and building the first centralised cooling system (CCS) for a residential estate in Singapore – in the Tengah eco-town. Instead of individual compressor units mounted on aircon ledges, Mr Liu is tasked to build a centralised system which circulates chilled water to and from each flat to cool air within the flat, thus delivering air-conditioning service to 19,000 households in the estate. The first homes will be ready in 2023. “It is definitely a challenge because we have to work with many other parties to overcome the space constraints,” says Mr Liu. In his previous posting in SP Group, Mr Liu worked at an underground district cooling system that serves the Marina Bay central business district. But this time, Mr Liu has to deal with space constraints of a different kind. “In HDB flats, it’s not cost-efficient to have large underground spaces, so we have to think out of the box and find space for our cooling equipment,” Mr Liu shares. Eventually, the project team decided to place the CCS equipment on the HDB block roof, which would allow precious ground space to be used by the community. HDB flat rooftops would host the CCS equipment which service a cluster of HDB blocks. This arrangement would optimise the cooling output of the CCS equipment, achieving both energy efficiency and supply reliability. Mr Liu is proud that he plays a part in transforming the energy sector to meet climate goals.

We are helping to improve lives by the meaningful transformation of the power industry. This brings me a lot of satisfaction as an engineer,” he says. Reaping benefits from economies of scale In a CCS, a few interconnected centralised plants produce chilled water which is piped to individual households. “Colder” chilled water produced at the centralised plants is circulated to the indoor air-conditioner (known as chilled water fan coil unit or FCU) in each flat. The FCU recirculates the air within the flat and cools the air. In the process, the chilled water is “warmed” up. The warmer water is then returned to the centralised plants to be chilled again and repeat the process. Because the centralised chilled water plants are 30 per cent more energy efficient by design than individual split units found typically in households, CCS is more economical for air-conditioning of flats. Mr Liu Yue is the deputy lead for the construction of the centralised cooling system that will deliver air-conditioning service to 19,000 households in Tengah eco-town. PHOTO: SP GROUP Air-conditioned comfort with lower emissions Air-conditioning is ubiquitous in tropical Singapore. According to the Department of Statistics, about 80 per cent of Singapore households own air-conditioners, and from NEA household electricity consumption profile, air-conditioning contributes about 24 per cent of the average household electricity consumption. With rising incomes and warming temperatures, air-conditioning ownership and the use of air conditioners are set to rise. Worldwide, the use of air-conditioners results in the emission of nearly two million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year, or about 4 per cent of the global share. There is therefore an increasing need to reduce carbon footprint from more energy efficient air-conditioning systems. The reduction in electricity consumption from CCS will contribute towards Singapore’s ambitious carbon footprint reduction commitments. Singapore aims to accelerate its timeline to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, peaking emissions in 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. While Singapore’s carbon emissions represent a small percentage of the global share (0.13 per cent in 2020), Singapore’s per capita emissions are very high, about twice the global average at 12 tonnes annually. If Singaporeans can reduce their carbon emissions significantly, it would demonstrate how people can meaningfully counteract climate change without severely lowering their standard of living. Mr Liu is energised by his contribution to help Singapore meet its climate goals. “The CCS we are building will enable Tengah residents to lower their carbon footprint through an energy-efficient cooling system. Just by living in the estate, each resident has already started the sustainability journey. This is a huge motivating factor to every engineer working on the Tengah project. “We started from ground zero and had our fair share of roadblocks in the journey. With all the hard work we put in, it is very rewarding to see everything come to fruition. I am glad to be able to play a part in pioneering the most futuristic town in Singapore towards smart and sustainable living. I guess it's my way of leaving my mark – a green one,” adds Mr Liu. Energy-efficient cooling for a warming world Leading the effort for more efficient cooling systems, SP Group will be implementing various types of cooling systems in different capacities, both in commercial and residential buildings. Its flagship district cooling system in the Marina Bay CBD network will be expanding to cool 28 commercial buildings by 2026. The savings in electricity consumption is estimated to reduce about 20,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to removing 17,672 cars off the road. SP Group is establishing Singapore’s largest industrial district cooling system for STMicroelectronics at the Ang Mo Kio Technopark. By the time it is operational in 2025, it will reduce carbon emissions by up to 120,000 tonnes annually. SP Group is also constructing a distributed district cooling network in Tampines, where seven existing buildings will be retrofitted by 2025. Transitioning the world into a decarbonised future Beyond its role as the national grid operator, SP Group actively pursues sustainability initiatives as a key part of Singapore’s climate strategy. Its climate initiatives include a nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network, deploying rooftop solar energy generation, and smart electricity metering to monitor and reduce usage. SP Group has also exported these technologies to overseas markets where there is demand for sustainable energy solutions. SP Group has provided expertise to build district cooling and heating systems, smart metering and solar power generation in cities in China, Thailand and Vietnam.

PHOTO: SCREENGRAB FROM GOOGLE MAPS Lee Nian Tjoe Senior Transport Correspondent PUBLISHED JUN 30, 2022, 5:40 PM SGT SINGAPORE - Residents in Tengah town will have access to various electrified Toyota models through a car-sharing pilot between Toyota distributor Borneo Motors and energy provider SP Group. The announcement was made at a signing ceremony for the memorandum of understanding between the two parties on Thursday (June 30). When launched in June next year, the cars can be booked through the SP smartphone app or the Kinto Share app operated by Borneo Motors. This will be the first time that users of SP Group's services can hire a car through its smartphone app. Ms Jasmine Wong, the chief executive of Inchcape Singapore and Greater China, which owns Borneo Motors, said: "With this initiative, we combine our expertise in electrified vehicles with SP Group's eco-charging solutions to embark on a significant step in steering the nation towards a more responsible and sustainable way of living." In addition, Borneo Motors and SP Group will set up an innovation and experience centre in the housing estate to help Tengah residents learn about sustainable mobility solutions. Borneo Motors launched Kinto Share last year for its on-demand car-sharing service with Lexus models. On its website, prices for daily rental start from $198. The collaboration with SP Group will see the vehicles being parked at dedicated carparks in the Tengah township. The exact details are still being worked out. This is the first time Kinto Share will serve a housing estate. Currently, users of the car-sharing service pick up the vehicles from the Lexus Boutique in Leng Kee Road. They can also pay for doorstep delivery and retrieval. SP Group and Borneo Motors are also conducting joint research in electrification, focusing on areas such as user behaviour and vehicle energy consumption, to further develop their future electric mobility programmes. The pilot, which runs for five years, will initially have eight Toyota models, seven of which are hybrids that do not require access to an EV charger. The eighth is the bZ4X, the Japanese car brand's first fully-electric vehicle, which will be officially launched in Singapore by then. A plug-in hybrid model is said to be in the pipeline. To encourage take-up, Tengah residents will be offered preferential rates for both the car rental and EV charging. Located in the western part of Singapore, Tengah consists of five districts with 42,000 residential units. Touted as a "smart-energy town", it features EV-ready carparks. Solar panels located on the top of residential blocks supply the needed electricity to power selected parking lots with EV chargers.

Mr Liu is energised by his contribution to help Singapore meet its climate goals. “The CCS we are building will enable Tengah residents to lower their carbon footprint through an energy-efficient cooling system. Just by living in the estate, each resident has already started the sustainability journey. This is a huge motivating factor to every engineer working on the Tengah project. “We started from ground zero and had our fair share of roadblocks in the journey. With all the hard work we put in, it is very rewarding to see everything come to fruition. I am glad to be able to play a part in pioneering the most futuristic town in Singapore towards smart and sustainable living. I guess it's my way of leaving my mark – a green one,” adds Mr Liu. Energy-efficient cooling for a warming world Leading the effort for more efficient cooling systems, SP Group will be implementing various types of cooling systems in different capacities, both in commercial and residential buildings. Its flagship district cooling system in the Marina Bay CBD network will be expanding to cool 28 commercial buildings by 2026. The savings in electricity consumption is estimated to reduce about 20,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to removing 17,672 cars off the road. SP Group is establishing Singapore’s largest industrial district cooling system for STMicroelectronics at the Ang Mo Kio Technopark. By the time it is operational in 2025, it will reduce carbon emissions by up to 120,000 tonnes annually. SP Group is also constructing a distributed district cooling network in Tampines, where seven existing buildings will be retrofitted by 2025. Transitioning the world into a decarbonised future Beyond its role as the national grid operator, SP Group actively pursues sustainability initiatives as a key part of Singapore’s climate strategy. Its climate initiatives include a nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network, deploying rooftop solar energy generation, and smart electricity metering to monitor and reduce usage. SP Group has also exported these technologies to overseas markets where there is demand for sustainable energy solutions. SP Group has provided expertise to build district cooling and heating systems, smart metering and solar power generation in cities in China, Thailand and Vietnam.

The 38-year-old Principal Engineer is part of the team designing and building the first centralised cooling system (CCS) for a residential estate in Singapore – in the Tengah eco-town. Instead of individual compressor units mounted on aircon ledges, Mr Liu is tasked to build a centralised system which circulates chilled water to and from each flat to cool air within the flat, thus delivering air-conditioning service to 19,000 households in the estate. The first homes will be ready in 2023. “It is definitely a challenge because we have to work with many other parties to overcome the space constraints,” says Mr Liu. In his previous posting in SP Group, Mr Liu worked at an underground district cooling system that serves the Marina Bay central business district. But this time, Mr Liu has to deal with space constraints of a different kind. “In HDB flats, it’s not cost-efficient to have large underground spaces, so we have to think out of the box and find space for our cooling equipment,” Mr Liu shares. Eventually, the project team decided to place the CCS equipment on the HDB block roof, which would allow precious ground space to be used by the community. HDB flat rooftops would host the CCS equipment which service a cluster of HDB blocks. This arrangement would optimise the cooling output of the CCS equipment, achieving both energy efficiency and supply reliability. Mr Liu is proud that he plays a part in transforming the energy sector to meet climate goals.

We are helping to improve lives by the meaningful transformation of the power industry. This brings me a lot of satisfaction as an engineer,” he says. Reaping benefits from economies of scale In a CCS, a few interconnected centralised plants produce chilled water which is piped to individual households. “Colder” chilled water produced at the centralised plants is circulated to the indoor air-conditioner (known as chilled water fan coil unit or FCU) in each flat. The FCU recirculates the air within the flat and cools the air. In the process, the chilled water is “warmed” up. The warmer water is then returned to the centralised plants to be chilled again and repeat the process. Because the centralised chilled water plants are 30 per cent more energy efficient by design than individual split units found typically in households, CCS is more economical for air-conditioning of flats. Mr Liu Yue is the deputy lead for the construction of the centralised cooling system that will deliver air-conditioning service to 19,000 households in Tengah eco-town. PHOTO: SP GROUP Air-conditioned comfort with lower emissions Air-conditioning is ubiquitous in tropical Singapore. According to the Department of Statistics, about 80 per cent of Singapore households own air-conditioners, and from NEA household electricity consumption profile, air-conditioning contributes about 24 per cent of the average household electricity consumption. With rising incomes and warming temperatures, air-conditioning ownership and the use of air conditioners are set to rise. Worldwide, the use of air-conditioners results in the emission of nearly two million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year, or about 4 per cent of the global share. There is therefore an increasing need to reduce carbon footprint from more energy efficient air-conditioning systems. The reduction in electricity consumption from CCS will contribute towards Singapore’s ambitious carbon footprint reduction commitments. Singapore aims to accelerate its timeline to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, peaking emissions in 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. While Singapore’s carbon emissions represent a small percentage of the global share (0.13 per cent in 2020), Singapore’s per capita emissions are very high, about twice the global average at 12 tonnes annually. If Singaporeans can reduce their carbon emissions significantly, it would demonstrate how people can meaningfully counteract climate change without severely lowering their standard of living.

PHOTO: SCREENGRAB FROM GOOGLE MAPS Lee Nian Tjoe Senior Transport Correspondent PUBLISHED JUN 30, 2022, 5:40 PM SGT SINGAPORE - Residents in Tengah town will have access to various electrified Toyota models through a car-sharing pilot between Toyota distributor Borneo Motors and energy provider SP Group. The announcement was made at a signing ceremony for the memorandum of understanding between the two parties on Thursday (June 30). When launched in June next year, the cars can be booked through the SP smartphone app or the Kinto Share app operated by Borneo Motors. This will be the first time that users of SP Group's services can hire a car through its smartphone app. Ms Jasmine Wong, the chief executive of Inchcape Singapore and Greater China, which owns Borneo Motors, said: "With this initiative, we combine our expertise in electrified vehicles with SP Group's eco-charging solutions to embark on a significant step in steering the nation towards a more responsible and sustainable way of living." In addition, Borneo Motors and SP Group will set up an innovation and experience centre in the housing estate to help Tengah residents learn about sustainable mobility solutions. Borneo Motors launched Kinto Share last year for its on-demand car-sharing service with Lexus models. On its website, prices for daily rental start from $198. The collaboration with SP Group will see the vehicles being parked at dedicated carparks in the Tengah township. The exact details are still being worked out. This is the first time Kinto Share will serve a housing estate. Currently, users of the car-sharing service pick up the vehicles from the Lexus Boutique in Leng Kee Road. They can also pay for doorstep delivery and retrieval. SP Group and Borneo Motors are also conducting joint research in electrification, focusing on areas such as user behaviour and vehicle energy consumption, to further develop their future electric mobility programmes. The pilot, which runs for five years, will initially have eight Toyota models, seven of which are hybrids that do not require access to an EV charger. The eighth is the bZ4X, the Japanese car brand's first fully-electric vehicle, which will be officially launched in Singapore by then. A plug-in hybrid model is said to be in the pipeline. To encourage take-up, Tengah residents will be offered preferential rates for both the car rental and EV charging. Located in the western part of Singapore, Tengah consists of five districts with 42,000 residential units. Touted as a "smart-energy town", it features EV-ready carparks.

30 Mar 2012 For Immediate Release MEDIA RELEASE ELECTRICITY TARIFF REVISION FOR THE PERIOD 1 APRIL TO 30 JUNE 2012 1. For the period from 1 Apr to 30 Jun 2012 the electricity tariffs will increase by 4.3% as higher fuel prices have resulted in higher power generation costs. The average fuel oil price over the last three months (1 Jan to 15 Mar 2012) increased by 7.3% from S$127.07 to S$136.37 per barrel. This increase in fuel oil prices saw a corresponding increase in the price of natural gas which is used for power generation in Singapore. 2. The electricity tariff for households will increase by 4.3% (or 1.19 cents per kWh) from 27.59 to 28.78 cents per kWh. This will increase the average monthly electricity bill for families living in four-room HDB flats by $4.18. 3. SP Services reviews the electricity tariffs quarterly based on guidelines set by the Energy Market Authority (EMA), the electricity industry regulator. The latest tariffs given in Appendix 1 have been approved by the EMA. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Issued by: SP Services Limited 10 Pasir Panjang Road #03-01 Mapletree Business City Singapore 117438 Co.

(Credit: PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency) SP Group (SP) has partnered PUB to participate in EMA’s Demand Response (DR) and Interruptible Load (IL) programmes. PUB is the first government agency to participate in the programmes. PUB will voluntarily reduce its energy use or temporarily shift electricity usage during periods of peak usage or when supply from renewable energy sources is intermittent. This will help balance electricity demand and supply on the national power grid at critical times, while facilitating the integration of more renewables. For a start, PUB has identified the Marina Raw Water Pumping Station, located at Kallang Basin, as the first contributing facility. The pumping station is used to transfer raw water from Marina Reservoir to Upper Peirce Reservoir and there is flexibility to adjust operations when required to manage or reduce electricity usage. SP has been operating the Thermal Energy Storage system as part of its Marina Bay District Cooling operations since 2006 to improve the overall reliability and resilience of the network.

SAFETY PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Introduction 1. With effect from 1 April 2022, all tenders called by Singapore Power Limited and its Singapore incorporated subsidiaries (SP Group) will include a tender evaluation criteria that takes into account the participating tenderer’s safety performance in their contracts with SP Group. 2. This is in line with SP Group’s core value that safety is our highest priority and all our suppliers and contractors must continuously adopt good safety practices and prevent accidents from occurring. Tender Evaluation Criteria 3. All open and closed tenders published on or after 1 April 2022 by SP Group shall include the new Safety Performance criteria as part of its tender evaluation criteria. 4. The Safety Performance criteria shall be a 1 st level evaluation criteria together with Price and/or Quality and shall be of a overall weightage of not less than 10% of the total evaluation score. 5. For tenders that is evaluated based solely on lowest compliant priced tender with no requirement to assess quality (e.g supply of standard items such as HP toner cartridges), the following evaluation method shall apply: Total Evaluation Score (100%) = Safety Performance (10%) + Price (90%) 6. For tenders that is evaluated based on Price and Quality factors, the following evaluation method shall apply: Total Evaluation Score (100%) = Safety Performance (10%) + Price (X%) + Quality (Y%) Where X + Y = 90% 7. For the avoidance of doubt, other safety related evaluation criteria such as the proposed safety measures to be taken for the tendered project or the tenderer’s past safety awards shall be accounted separately under the Quality score. Safety Performance 8. Safety Performance of tenderers shall be assessed by taking into account the occurrence of any Loss Time Injury (LTI) incidents in the past 2 years prior to tender closing date. In the event of the occurrence of any incidents that results in fatality or serious injury in the past 1 year prior to the tender closing date, the bid submitted by the tenderer may be rejected by SP Group. For the avoidance of doubt only incidents occurring on or after 1 April 2022 will be considered. 9. Loss Time Injury incidents for the purpose of this Safety Performance criteria refers to any incidents where: a. It is a work-related injury occurs which results in lost work time of one work day or more; b. The incident occurred while the tenderer was carrying out works under a contract with SP Group; and c. The incident occurred on or after 1 April 2022. 10. Any incidents that occur in the course of the Tenderer’s work in contracts with other parties are not accounted under this criteria’s scoring but may considered in the final decision for award.
