SP Group to Green Electricity Substations for a More Sustainable Futurehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-to-green-electricity-substations-for-a-more-sustainable-future
Media Release SP Group to Green Electricity Substations for a More Sustainable Future Rooftop solar panels to be installed at 37 substations by 2025, generating enough electricity to power 4,500 four-room Housing Development Board flats for a year This is the latest in a series of green initiatives to maximise substation infrastructure for sustainable outcomes Singapore, 8 November 2022 – SP Group (SP) announced that it will be installing rooftop solar panels at 37 electricity substations by 2025, with a total installed capacity of 15.7 megawatt-peak (MWp). This is the latest green initiative by SP to optimise substations with low-carbon capabilities and achieve our national sustainability targets. When completed, the combined solar power capacity of 15.7 megawatt-peak (MWp) will deliver up to 21,000 megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable electricity into Singapore’s electricity network annually – enough to power more than 4,500 four-room Housing Development Board (HDB) flats for a year. The substations were selected for their suitability to install solar panels and generate solar energy. The rooftop solar installation will be done across three phases. The first phase of six substations with a combined solar power capacity of 7.1 MWp will be completed by end2023 – with the very first substation at West Jurong Island to have its rooftop solar system operational by July 2023. This will be followed by the second batch of 12 substations with a combined capacity of 6 MWp by mid-2024 and the final batch of 19 substations with a combined capacity of 2.6 MWp to be completed by end-2025. Each substation will have an installed capacity not exceeding 1 MWac (Megawatt of AC Power). The initiative is part of the Singapore’s plans to incorporate more renewable energy in its energy mix and will contribute towards EMA’s target of installing at least 2 gigawatt-peak (GWp) of solar deployment by 2030 1 . It will also support Singapore’s long-term ambitions to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of the Energy Market Authority (EMA), said, “Solar is Singapore’s most viable renewable energy source. As part of our efforts to tackle climate change and decarbonise the power sector, we will need to maximise solar deployment on all available land and space in Singapore. With SP Group’s deployment of solar panels on its network of power substations, this brings about an intuitive use of the limited space available in addition to other innovative deployments such as on temporary vacant land and water bodies.” Mr Stanley Huang, Group CEO, SP Group, said, “In supporting the energy transition, we are keen to leverage our electricity substations and roof spaces to contribute clean energy for Singapore. We will continue to work closely with EMA to optimise our existing electricity infrastructure and assets to provide reliable and efficient electricity supply, and to support developments to meet Singapore’s sustainability targets.” SP has been working on various green initiatives to leverage electricity substations for sustainable outcomes. In August this year, EMA and SP jointly announced a pilot to test the viability of installing a thermal energy storage system at the George Street substation. The pilot also includes the installation of additional chillers to support future expansion of the Marina Bay district cooling network, bringing sustainable cooling to more buildings. This is a first move to locate an ice thermal storage facility outside a district cooling plant. - End - 1The Future of Singapore’s Energy Story – EMA About SP Group SP Group is a leading utilities group in the Asia Pacific, empowering the future of energy with low-carbon, smart energy solutions for its customers.

News Release Porsche Asia Pacific and SP Group partner to create largest manufacturer-branded charging network in Singapore • Partnership with SP Group (SP) to expand the Porsche Destination Charging (PDC) network, enabling wider access to seamless charging for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Singapore • Three new PDC sites announced today, set to go live by January 2022: Gardens by the Bay, South Beach and Sembawang Country Club • Network set to expand further with four properties from City Developments Limited (CDL) to create largest manufacturer-branded charging network in Singapore • PDC network open to all electrified vehicle drivers with additional benefits exclusive to owners of Porsche PHEVs and BEVs • Upcoming points will be available on the SP Utilities app, enabling EV owners to seamlessly locate, operate, start, monitor and pay for vehicle charging Singapore, 2 November 2021 – Porsche Asia Pacific and SP Group (SP) announce a partnership today to further expand the brand’s bespoke Porsche Destination Charging (PDC) network in Singapore, with new lifestyle destinations enabling wider access to seamless charging for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Singapore. The Porsche Destination Charging network forms a key part of the brand’s three-pronged approach to developing a comprehensive charging ecosystem in Singapore. At home, Porsche offers bespoke solutions for safe and secure private charging; outside, the expanded PDC network will further augment public charging with AC and DC charging points at frequently-visited lifestyle locations. Finally, Porsche’s recently-announced High Performance Charging network along the North-South highway in Malaysia caters to ultra-fast, en-route charging needs for long-distance travel. By partnering with SP, Porsche powers up a charging ecosystem that addresses the broad spectrum of mobility needs for PHEV and BEV drivers in Singapore, accelerating local take-up and paving the way for the brand’s long-term goal of achieving 80% electrified sales and a carbon neutral balance sheet across its entire value chain by 2030. SP operates Singapore’s largest public fast-charging EV network, and currently runs 10 PDC charging points at ONE ̊15 Marina Sentosa Cove and Jewel Changi Airport. The three new lifestyle PDC destinations announced today at Gardens by the Bay, South Beach and Sembawang Country Club are scheduled to go live by January 2022, adding 15 new charging points to the PDC network. Porsche and SP have also joined hands with City Developments Limited (CDL) to expand EV charging infrastructure at four of its properties: new charging sites at City Square Mall, King’s 1 Centre, Palais Renaissance and Quayside Isle will add another 15 charging points to the PDC network. Combined with existing PDC sites at Marina Bay Sands (6) and Sentosa Golf Club (5), the Porsche Destination Charging network will number a grand total of 51 charging stations islandwide by mid-2022, becoming the largest manufacturer-branded EV charging network in the country whilst continuously expanding to even more locations.

[20201212] Media Release - Tampines town first in Singapore to get Eco Boards with real-time updates on utilities consumptionhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/dbd6c845-5d53-4757-bf41-307cb5b1d5fe/%5B20201212%5D+Media+Release+-+Tampines+town+first+in+Singapore+to+get+Eco+Boards+with+real-time+updates+on+utilities+consumption.pdf?MOD=AJPERES
MEDIA RELEASE TAMPINES TOWN FIRST IN SINGAPORE TO GET ECO BOARDS WITH REAL-TIME UPDATES ON UTILITIES CONSUMPTION Tampines Town Council and SP Group boost efforts to transform Tampines into an Eco-Town Singapore, 12 December 2020 – About 633 households in Tampines will be the first in Singapore to have digital Eco Boards installed at their blocks and receive real-time updates on their blocks’ electricity and water consumption and carbon emissions. Tampines Town Council (TTC) and SP Group (SP), with support from Temasek and the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, today unveiled the Eco Boards which have been installed at five HDB blocks. Minister for Social and Family Development, Second Minister for Health and Minister-incharge of Muslim Affairs, Mr. Masagos Zulkifli witnessed the launch held at Block 878A, Tampines Avenue 8. He was accompanied by his fellow Members of Parliament for Tampines GRC - Ms. Cheng Li Hui, Chairman of Tampines Town Council; Mr. Desmond Choo, Mayor of North East District and Vice-Chairman of Tampines Town Council, and Mr. Baey Yam Keng, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Transport. Building a Sustainable Future for Tampines The introduction of the Eco Boards is a pilot programme to build sustainability awareness among residents and encourage them to adopt eco-friendly habits. The pilot is part of a larger national effort to bring sustainability to the community and transform HDB towns into Eco- Towns. A total of 10 Eco Boards will be rolled out in Tampines over the next two months. Designed and developed in-house by SP’s team of energy tech experts, the Eco Boards provide residents with real-time updates on the block’s aggregated water and electricity 1 consumption, and the resulting carbon emissions. They will be installed at the lift lobby of each block, giving residents easy access to green tips on lowering their utilities consumption. Residents can also participate in energy-saving challenges such as block-level competitions. A sample screen grab of the Eco Board can be found in Annex A. The Town Council can use insights from the Eco Boards to plan and achieve more efficient estate management. There are also plans to enhance the Town Council’s operations with an artificial intelligence-enabled anomaly detection component that will alert the Town Council to any resource wastage or inefficient consumption patterns. The Chairman of Tampines Town Council, Ms. Cheng Li Hui commented: "Our efforts to transform Tampines into a model Eco-Town continue to be a priority. We will always engage with our residents and gather inputs from different stakeholders." "With the support from our residents, grassroots organisations and SP Group, I am confident that the Eco Boards will be a success," Ms. Cheng added. Empowering Residents to Make Sustainable Choices Mr. Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer, SP Group said: “At SP Group, we enable everyone to play a part in building a low-carbon future for Singapore. Through the Eco Boards, we provide useful data and solutions for residents and estate managers to make eco-friendly choices and reduce their carbon footprint.” The Eco Boards complement the SP Utilities App to further encourage individuals to adopt a greener lifestyle. With the App, residents can track their household’s utilities consumption and use the My Carbon Footprint calculator to be more aware of their own impact on the environment. Residents will also be rewarded for their eco-friendly choices through the App’s GreenUP programme, which empower and incentivise consumers to go green through sustainability challenges and earn rewards when bringing their own mugs or food containers 2 to selected partner merchants. The App can be downloaded at https://utilities.spdigital.sg/. Screen grabs of the App can be found in Annex B. - Ends Annex A: Sample of Eco Board 3 Annex B: My Carbon Footprint calculator and GreenUP challenge via SP’s Utilities App 4 About Tampines Town Council Tampines Town Council was set up in 1990 to manage and maintain common property of HDB housing estates in Tampines which consists five divisions, namely, Central, East, West, North and Changkat. Tampines is fast becoming Singapore's model Eco Town. The town will see enhancements making it more green and environmentally sustainable. Some green initiatives include projects like Sustainability@Tampines Park. It is Singapore's first community-based circular ecosystem. Tampines has also implemented communitybased projects to encourage on-the-ground sustainability initiatives. There are Reverse Vending Machines in selected parts of Tampines where residents are incentivised with FairPrice discount coupons to practise recycling. The Town Council is also working with relevant agencies to recruit Resident Gardeners to maintain and enhance our community gardens.

SP Develops Future Energy Leaders Through First Energy Managers Programme And Industry Scholarshipshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Develops-Future-Energy-Leaders-Through-First-Energy-Managers-Programme-And-Industry-Scholarships
Media 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). The pioneer cohort of 19 energy sector professionals was recognised in a ceremony during Singapore International Energy Week 2018, witnessed by Dr Tan Wu Meng, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Trade and Industry and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The programme, which is under the SkillsFuture Leadership Development Initiative, is designed to build a pipeline of strong leaders for the energy sector as they address issues and opportunities in today’s transforming and disruptive landscape. Building on its inaugural run, SIPG is opening its programme to participants from ASEAN utilities and other international companies in the energy value chain, curating a broader range of experiences, perspectives and real-world applications. Mr Peter Leong, Principal of SIPG, said, “We customised this programme to help energy industry managers hone their well-rounded leadership skills through blended learning in the classroom and field trips to companies in Singapore and overseas. They have personally benefitted from networking with peers from across the value chain. They have also gleaned insights on driving advancement and innovation amidst the rapid industry disruption, in order to serve all consumers better.” Spanning five months from February this year, the programme’s first participants were emerging leaders from generation companies and SP Group. Through workshops, dialogues with senior leaders from the energy sector and government, as well as a learning trip to China, the participants were exposed to pertinent challenges the industry faces, in Singapore and around the region. They also gained valuable insights from individual coaching sessions and working on action projects. Mr Neo Bing Hui, Senior Operations Engineer, YTL PowerSeraya Ltd, said, “The Energy Managers Programme (EMP) has helped broaden my views of the industry in general, providing a different perspective of how challenges can be viewed in the energy sector. After going through EMP, I have gleaned more insights on my leadership style and how I can effectively improve communication with my team mates. I am excited to start applying what I've learnt from this programme.” The pressing need to inspire the energy sector to groom the next generation of energy leaders is why the Energy Market Authority is supporting the programme. Its Chief Executive, Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, said: “For the energy sector to embrace new opportunities and challenges, there is a need to engage and develop tomorrow's energy leaders. They will need to be agile and adopt a growth mindset to lead their organisations forward. EMA supports SIPG in playing a crucial role in providing a programme to grow our future energy leaders.” Nurturing engineering talent In developing future engineering talent, SP Group also awarded two Energy-Industry Scholarships to students from institutions of higher learning – Ms Choo Wei Ming, 19, from Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Mr Muhammad Syahiran bin Jamal, 20, from Singapore Polytechnic. SP Group’s Chief Human Resource Officer, Mr Ng Seng Huwi, presented the scholarships to Wei Ming and Muhammad Syahiran, at a ceremony during the Youth@SIEW event earlier today. The scholarship serves to nurture talent for the energy sector and support students with a passion for engineering in achieving academic and career aspirations. They will join SP Group when they complete their studies. About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

Mr Eng said that it is “important that consumers review their healthcare needs and plans regularly, given the current rising medical costs environment”. Private healthcare costs have been rising at 18 per cent per year. Dr Tan stressed the need to change one’s approach to healthcare. She said that in healthcare insurance, “there are actually three words in it – health, care and insurance”. She added: “It’s not illness care. But the way we structure and talk about healthcare, it’s about what you do when you’re already sick. In many other countries, they adopt the healthcare approach where you go from cradle to grave, and you actually start to work with your patients, citizens, policyholders, on how to keep them out of hospitals.” lornatan@sph.com.sg • Look out for more reports on the ST Roundtable in The Sunday Times this weekend.

SP Group extends multi-year support to KidSTART Singapore with additional S$1.1 million donation to launch new learning initiativehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-renews-commitment-to-nurture-early-literacy-for-KidSTART-children-with-donation-of-S-1.1-million0
Media Release SP Group extends multi-year support to KidSTART Singapore with additional S$1.1 million donation to launch new learning initiative Renewed commitment to support children’s development through play-based learning SINGAPORE, 4 JANUARY 2025 – SP Group (SP) has reaffirmed its multi-year support of children benefitting from KidSTART Singapore’s programmes, with an additional S$1.1m donation this year. As a pioneer Growing Together with KidSTART initiative partner, SP has contributed a total of S$3.2 million since 2021. With this new commitment, SP’s total support will reach S$4.3 million. This longstanding collaboration will continue to empower KidSTART families as KidSTART Singapore completes its nationwide expansion by 2025. This was announced today at the launch of PowerUP Playtime by KidSTART and SP Group, officiated by Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Minister for Social and Family Development, with KidSTART families at Southside@Sentosa. At the launch, SP presented a cheque for this latest contribution to Community Chest in support of KidSTART. PowerUP Playtime integrates a play-based home learning resource kit alongside storytelling and interactive workshops to help parents foster joy in learning for children 0-6 years old. The initiative aims to foster meaningful interactions between parent and child, and amongst siblings. PowerUP Playtime will benefit all KidSTART children enrolled in 2025. Its centrepiece, the PlayFULL Pack, is a learning kit specially curated by KidSTART. The Pack consists of sensory books, imaginative toys, and craft materials, to support the cognitive, language, and motor skills development of children aged 0 to 6 years old. By enhancing parental confidence as a child’s first teachers, KidSTART families will be equipped to nurture their children’s growth and development at home. By encouraging creativity, curiosity, and play, PowerUP Playtime aims to support children’s holistic development while fuelling their imagination and skills-building. At today’s launch event, more than 1,200 KidSTART children and their families received their PlayFULL packs, while enjoying enriching activities including play-based workshops, imaginative storytelling and creative crafts, complete with a picnic dinner and an outdoor movie screening under the stars. SP’s support over the years has enabled more than 6,000 KidSTART families to access essential resources for holistic early childhood development, coupled with unique family bonding experiences. This sustained commitment has evolved from addressing fundamental needs and bridging learning challenges during the pandemic to supporting children in meeting their developmental milestones. Past initiatives include the provision of IT resources during the pandemic, supporting immersive theatre productions such as KidSTART Sea Adventures, and launching KidSTART Stories to equip families with home libraries to cultivate early literacy and good reading habits. Last year’s Green Adventures taught families about sustainability and care for the environment through outdoor learning journeys. With support from partners like SP Group to complement the work of KidSTART practitioners, KidSTART has achieved notable outcomes, with 3 in 4 KidSTART children meeting age-appropriate developmental milestones, 85 per cent of parents demonstrating an understanding of their child’s growth and learning, as well as 94 per cent of children aged 3 to 6 being enrolled in preschool, reflecting the success in ensuring early and sustained engagement in education[1]. Group CEO of SP Group, Mr Stanley Huang, said, “Having journeyed with KidSTART Singapore for several years, we have seen the expansion of programmes and growth of outreach to more children and families across the nation. The sustained impact of these programmes is evident as families acquire important foundational learning skills, enjoy quality interaction and bonding, and adopt positive lifestyle habits such as sustainability. By focusing on pivotal and well researched early childhood development areas, we help to shape the next generation of resilient and well-adjusted individuals with future-ready mindsets and capabilities.” Mr Joel Tan, CEO of KidSTART Singapore, added, “Partners like SP Group are instrumental in enabling KidSTART to create new and impactful initiatives that support KidSTART children. While practitioners impart important child development knowledge in a one-to-one setting in the homes of families, tools like the PlayFULL pack and experiences like theatre performances and outdoor learning journeys allow families to learn while enjoying fun and new experiences. It takes a village to raise a child, and we are grateful for the longstanding partnership with SP Group, and their commitment to level the playing field for children and have a good start in life. I believe that PowerUP Playtime will benefit and encourage meaningful parent-child interactions for our KidSTART families and support their children’s development through meaningful play.” KidSTART parent Mdm Fatimah, whose children are aged 3 and 5, shared, “My children were so excited when we were presented with the PlayFULL Pack. It was like a colourful box filled with various toys and materials for them. Despite the difference in my children’s ages, I can use the same items to engage my children differently. This saves me the trouble of always having to buy new toys! The event this evening was also an enjoyable time for our family to bond!” KidSTART parent Elizaberth, with children aged 2 and 5, shared, “My children have benefitted greatly from past KidSTART programmes including KidSTART Stories, where my daughters developed their love for reading. They were also grateful for the vouchers received during Children’s Day. I was therefore excited to receive the PlayFULL Pack and guide to continue our learning together. It reminded me that play for children is not just about playing with toys — it is also about allowing my children to learn new things. I used music and actions to engage and teach my daughter about different types of animals, with the sensory book in the pack. Now, my daughter can better identify animals and the sounds that they make. We have so much fun together too.” [1] Source: KidSTART Singapore Ltd’s Annual Report for Financial Year 2023
