Media Release STMicroelectronics enhances sustainability with innovative chiller cooling system at Toa Payoh New cooling system with dual-temperature capability, developed with SP Group, to optimize energy usage and reduce ~2,140 tons of carbon emission annually Singapore, May 29, 2025 -- STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has appointed Singapore Power (SP Group) to upgrade its cooling infrastructure at the Toa Payoh site, which serves as a critical hub for ST’s packaging R&D and wafer testing operations. This new system will improve energy efficiency and aims to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 2,140 tons annually. “Following the landmark agreement with SP Group in 2022 to implement Singapore’s largest industrial district cooling system at our operations in AMK TechnoPark, the upgrade to the cooling system in our Toa Payoh site demonstrates ST’s continued commitment to innovative cooling solutions and to become carbon neutral by 2027,” said Jean-Louis Champseix, Group VP, Head of Sustainability at STMicroelectronics. "With cooling accounting for a large proportion of our site's overall energy consumption, the improved efficiency of this new system will further reduce our carbon footprint while ensuring we meet Singapore's MEES regulations." “This project underscores how strategic partnerships and smart infrastructure can accelerate decarbonization in energy-intensive industries like manufacturing,” said S. Harsha, Managing Director for Sustainable Energy Solutions (Singapore), SP Group. "Together with ST, we’ve developed a tailored, integrated cooling solution that strengthens operational resilience and sustainability. This partnership reflects our commitment to engineering a more sustainable future for our customers and the built environment, and we look forward to expanding similar solutions across the region.” With a cooling capacity of up to 3,200 refrigerant tons (RT), the new cooling system’s dual-temperature capability supplies both low and medium temperature cooling directly, eliminating the need for heat exchangers currently used to produce medium temperature cooling. It is designed to support all facility needs, saving up to five Gigawatt-hours of energy annually, equivalent to powering over 1,100 four-room HDB households a year. Under the agreement, SP Group will design, build, operate, and maintain the new chiller cooling system, providing chilled-water-as-a-service on a 20-year contract. The construction and implementation phases are expected to be completed by December 2025. The upgrade aligns with the National Environment Agency's (NEA) Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) , which comes into effect in December 2025, and aligned with the strong sustainability agenda of the Singapore government, particularly the SG Green Plan 2030. By embracing these initiatives, ST Singapore not only contributes to global environmental goals but also supports Singapore's vision of a sustainable future. Note to editors: In 2022 STMicroelectronics and SP Group signed an agreement to establish Singapore's largest industrial district cooling system at ST AMK TechnoPark. The cooling system will help ST achieve 20% savings in cooling-related electricity consumption and reduce carbon emissions by up to 120,000 tons annually.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Beyond the call of duty RELIABILITY Customer service is a key part of the job for 36-year-old Louis Ang Ming Hui, a Principal Engineer at SP Group’s Gas Distribution Pipeline Operations and Maintenance (DPOM) section. Out of all the requests Louis had to attend to in his 11 years of service with SP, a peculiar one has been long etched in his mind – an elderly resident asking for hot drinking water amidst a widespread gas supply disruption. The resident was not accustomed to drinking room temperature water and had no alternative sources to boil water. “He gave me a hot water flask so that I could bring it to the coffee shop nearby to fill with hot water for him,” recalled Louis. He realised these simple needs may often be taken for granted but could make a difference to residents. Louis Ang Ming Hui, Principal Engineer for SP’s Gas Operations. The engineer also attends to residents affected by prolonged supply disruptions. While Louis has experienced his fair share of negative remarks, going the extra mile to make sure that the needs of affected residents are taken care of has always been his priority. A mechanical engineering graduate from Nanyang Technological University, Louis was unfazed when he was offered a role as an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) engineer in Gas Operations, a field of work that was different from what he had studied. The learning curve in an unfamiliar environment was undoubtedly steep but he steadily grew accustomed to its workings which included troubleshooting and repairing pipelines affected by gas supply interruptions.   Louis (extreme right) with the mains renewal team in 2018 when it was newly formed. His next role took him to the mains renewal division, managing planned replacement of gas pipes according to a yearly basis. "It was a different experience for me. When the new mains renewal team was formed, we were working on a tremendously tight timeline. I remember working late almost every night to ensure that we would meet our targets by the end of the financial year. After months of hard work, our team surpassed expectations and was filled with a sense of achievement.” Louis (extreme right) in the field with contractors. Now, after years of experience in different sections within SP, Louis is back to where he started at DPOM as a second-line officer on call to attend to emergencies after hours. What has changed since he first stint in this section is the way the emergency response team dealt with pipeline faults. In the past, engineers would have to dig a hole to find the gas pipe, followed by drilling to locate the fault. This process of digging and drilling is repeated until the fault is located. SP has since adopted new technologies such as the use of a specialised camera that can trace faults located up to a length of 50 meters, without unnecessary digging and drilling. This technology has significantly improved efficiency and enabled gas supply to be restored more swiftly to maintain overall network reliability. Deploying new technology to locate pipeline faults. On top of overseeing diverse projects, he is also on standby to attend to emergencies, about two weeks per month. This means that he often has to drop what he is doing to attend to incidents. He said, “I once had to attend to a gas supply disruption on the third day of the Chinese New Year. It was rather stressful as celebrations came to an abrupt halt for our team and the affected residents. However, some residents offered us food and drinks as a token of appreciation for working on a holiday. Knowing that our efforts goes long way for the residents is a reward in itself.” Louis (third from right) with the Distribution Pipeline Operations and Maintenance team. Even though Louis has been in this industry for more than a decade, there is always a new scenario at work to tackle. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to the situations that occur, being able to find the root cause of the problem and tackling it as a team gives him satisfaction.  “I am grateful for colleagues who have been like family to me! Working collaboratively alongside everyone to complete a project collectively inspires me to be my best,” says Louis.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2013 Careers in Engineering Packing a lot of power Principal engineer Chan Hong Jiang relishes the unpredictable challenges that he faces in his job at Singapore Power by suresh nair PRINCIPAL engineer Chan Hong Jiang enjoys challenges and switches on when there is a major blackout. Thankfully, it is not often that power outages occur here and Singapore has one of the fewest and shortest power outages of cities worldwide, as rated by international industry indices, thanks to Singapore Power’s world-class electricity and gas transmission, distribution and market support services. “When a power outage occurs, the immediate concern is to restore the supply to affected customers safely and quickly,” says Mr Chan, 32, who has worked for seven years with Singapore Power, which covers over a million Singapore industrial and domestic customers. His team looks after the operations and maintenance of electricity distribution networks in the southern region of Singapore, which covers the Orchard Road shopping belt, Sentosa and the Central Business District area. The daily work, which he calls an unpredictable challenge, includes maintenance, repair and renewal of power equipment such as switchgear, transformers and power cables of various voltages from 400V up to 66kV deployed in the various electrical substations. “We also have to respond expeditiously to any power outages or incidents that occur at any time and restore electrical supply to affected customers,” he adds. “I have been here seven years, there is never a typical day at work. I’m always learning and growing in my job.” He relishes “bigger challenges” in national and regional projects, citing the National Day Parade (NDP) 2010 and Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games which “gave me the chance to hone my technical skills”. His role in the technical support committee for NDP 2010 was to ensure there were no power outages in the vicinity of the surrounding parade area and to have quick restoration of power supply in the event of any supply failure. Going to Guangzhou for a week for the Asian Games was “another breathtaking challenge” after China Southern Power Grid wanted condition monitoring work on the power supply infrastructure for the Guangzhou Asian Games. “I was part of the team carrying out cable diagnostic tests on the Guangzhou power network. During the trip, we shared our experience in condition monitoring with our counterparts and I also learnt about their work processes and network equipment. This was indeed an eyeopening experience.” Mr Chan studied at Raffles Institution and Victoria Junior College, after which he earned a degree in electrical engineering at the National University of Singapore. He joined SP Power- Grid soon after graduation and was posted to the Regional Network South as an executive engineer. His work philosophy is delivering quality work without looking at the clock. He says: “I think one key quality is the willingness to go the extra mile to ensure that the work carried out is up to mark. Any slip-up will not only affect the company’s performance, but could also potentially affect a very large customer base or in the worst case, cause a safety hazard to the public.” We also have to respond expeditiously to any power outages or incidents that occur at any time and restore electrical supply to affected customers. I have been here seven years, there is never a typical day at work. I’m always learning and growing in my job. — Mr Chan Hong Jiang, principal engineer, Singapore Power He is appreciative that his wife, Candy Ho, 29, a financial planner, supports his “unpredictable and challenging work hours”. “Occasionally I have to work at night and during weekends to handle emergency repairs or electricity supply shutdowns which take place only when the customer premises are empty,” he says. “My wife is very understanding and offers a lot of encouragement and support. This spurs me on to complete my work quickly and safely so that I can go back to my family as soon as possible.” His role model is his 62-year-old father, Mr Chan Teck Chua, whose work attitude, despite minimal education, was exemplary as an auxiliary salesman. “My father, a quiet and humble man, has been a good role model for me,” he says. “Although he did not receive much education and did not have a well-paying job, he worked very hard and lived frugally to provide for the family, something which he did very well and with much pride. I am trying to do the same for my wife and, in the future, for my kids.” Mr Chan’s work philosophy is delivering quality work without looking at the clock. PHOTO: CHONG JUN LIANG

This charge varies for different load requirements and is categorised as follows: [a) Development Without Substation The service connection charge comprises the cost based on requirement in kVA of tapping supply from both the High Tension [HT) and LT networks, which includes the cost of service cables. For individual consumers without substations, the cost of LT service cable for the same capacity may vary widely depending on their locations with respect to the nearest LT mains. These consumers are not the sole beneficiaries of the extension of the LT network. To achieve a greater degree of equity in terms of cost for these general consumers, a standard cost approach is adopted by grouping consumers with similar supply requirements. The average global cost per kVA is determined based on past statistics. For example, this category of consumers which comprises mainly landed residential owners applying for the same applied load, will pay the same standard connection charge regardless of the location of their premises from the existing LT network. [b) Development With Substation The service connection charge comprises the cost based on requirement in kVA of tapping supply from the HT network and the cost of service cable. The cost of tapping supply from the HT network refers to the cost of cables and consumables used in setting up a new distribution substation. It excludes the cost of shared network assets such as switchgear, transformer and HT network cables. The cost is spread to all new consumers proportionally on a per kVA basis. For consumers with substations, their supply intake point is usually adjacent to the substation, which requires a service cable of approximately 15m in most instances. Therefore, the standard cost of service cable is computed based on a length of 15m. Consumers shall pay the additional cost for service cable exceeding 15m. In addition, consumers shall also pay for those dedicated assets, such as switchgear and transformers, which are serving them and do not benefit others.

For longer lengths, additional charges shall apply. Standard charges are only applicable to consumers who are connected to the shared network. Standard charges are not applicable to consumers where the network extension is unlikely to be shared by others. Some of these include supply to HDB premises, premises involving installation of bigger capacity cable in order to overcome the excessive voltage drop, temporary work sites, public installations and offshore island premises. These consumers will be required to pay for the full connection network cost, based on user-pay principle, as they are the main beneficiaries. B2 Service Connection Charges for HT, EHT and UHT Supply Consumers taking HT, EHT and UHT supply shall pay the cost of the service connections to their intake equipment including cables, associated equipment and facilities to effect the connection of consumers’ equipment to SPPA’s substation/network. The service connection shall cater for single contingency. Consumers requesting for additional level of contingency that exceeds the single contingency standard are required to pay for the full cost of such provision. B3 Dedicated Network/Substation The developer or consumer shall pay the full cost of all associated equipment and facilities under a dedicated network/substation scheme for which the network capacity is intended to serve the developer’s development or consumer’s premise(s) exclusively. A substation comprises land, building, electrical equipment and associated cables. A substation which serves a development or premise has to be provided and paid for by the developer or consumer. As the capacity of electrical equipment is lumpy, the substation may have excess capacity. The developer or consumer will carry the cost of this excess capacity which cannot be avoided. As this substation is required to serve mainly the development’s or consumer’s load, it is considered a dedicated substation. To reduce cost, a developer or consumer can choose to let SPPA bear the cost of the electrical equipment and associated cables, thus making the network/substation a nondedicated one. In return, SPPA must be allowed to allocate the excess capacity to other consumers. Even after the excess capacity is allocated, SPPA shall return the capacity to the developer or consumer if his demand grows later provided existing allocated capacity to other consumers can be diverted. The latter provision shall also apply to the decommissioning of the substation. At present, most substations provided by developers or consumers are non-dedicated substations.

SP Group’s role in electricity industry As published in Straits Times Forum Letter (29 Sept 2018) We thank readers for their letters and the queries they raised (How are new retailers able to offer better prices than SP Group? by Mr Max Leong; Maintaining cost savings tough in the long term by Mr Goh Boon Kai and Many concerns over changes in power market by Mr Ong Soon Yam for their letters, all on Sept 25). SP Group operates and maintains the electricity grid and provides market support services such as billing and meter reading. Under the regulated tariff set by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) for the period of July 1 to Sept 30, SP Group is paid 5.71 cents per kWh (SP Component) for the above services, out of 23.65 cents per kWh paid by residential consumers. The remaining tariff components go to the generation companies, Energy Market Company for market administration, and EMA for power system operator costs. Under the Open Electricity Market (OEM), consumers will be able to buy electricity from retailers, at the retail electricity price, instead of buying under the tariff set by the EMA. The electricity price offered by retailers will also include the SP Component. Whether consumers buy electricity under tariff, or through a retailer, the SP Component collected from consumers is the same. It is regulated by the EMA, and has been stable the past 10 years, even as the electricity tariff fluctuated.

PRESS RELEASE SIT Partners SP Group to Boost Engineering Talent and Advance Singapore’s Energy Sector Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed at Energy Innovation (EI) 2022 seeks to upskill more engineering talent with strategic three-year collaboration to supercharge expertise in the energy sector 1. SINGAPORE, 15 July 2022 – The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and SP Group (SP) are collaborating to enhance the capabilities of the power engineering workforce in Singapore. Through a three-year endeavour, SIT and SP will focus on upskilling and reskilling of SP’s employees. Both organisations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) today at Energy Innovation 2022, organised by the Energy Market Authority (EMA). 2. As Singapore advances towards a sustainable energy future and its Smart Nation ambitions, it is crucial that local talents gain knowledge and skills to adapt and thrive in the evolving energy sector. To grow engineering talent pipeline and skillset for the energy sector, the SIT-SP partnership seeks to provide continuous skills upgrading pathways for SP employees through a full-time undergraduate degree in Electrical Power Engineering. Students will benefit from the Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP) and Capstone Projects, which put theory into practice in real work situations. SIT and SP will provide students with workplace learning opportunities and innovation projects that address emerging needs of the energy industry. 3. Said Professor Chua Kee Chaing, SIT President: “This MOU underscores SIT’s shared commitment with SP to upskill and reskill different generations of power engineers, to cater to new industry demands. As the demands of tomorrow continue to evolve, it calls for closer academia-industry partnerships with industry leaders like SP, and a work-study approach to better train work-ready professionals. As SIT continues to expand its footprint across industries to address these ever-changing needs, we welcome like-minded partners to join our efforts to upskill, reskill, and build the workforce of tomorrow.” 4. Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, Stanley Huang, said, “We are pleased to launch the workstudy programme with SIT, to help our workers upskill and adapt to the changing energy landscape. It enables them to pursue an engineering degree course full-time, while continuing in work roles during the course of their study and applying the knowledge they gain. This is part of SP Group’s commitment to continuously develop our workforce for the needs of our industry and support our workers in contributing effectively.” 5. Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said, “As Singapore advances our energy transition towards a more sustainable future, we will need to ensure that workers are equipped with relevant skillsets to take on new opportunities. EMA is supportive of such academia-industry partnerships in building up Singapore’s manpower capabilities for the energy sector. We are heartened to note SP Group’s strong emphasis and commitment on upskilling its employees. We hope this collaboration between SIT and SP Group will be the first of many such partnerships to come, to build a future-ready workforce that will propel Singapore’s energy sector forward.” 6. As a start, a pioneer cohort of SP employees will undertake a full-time three-year Electrical Power Engineering (EPE) undergraduate degree programme at SIT, starting in September 2022. The degree programme, jointly offered by SIT and Newcastle University, is specially customised to provide students with a holistic approach to learning while experiencing hands-on industry-focused activities. More information on the EPE degree programme is in Annex A. 7. As part of this pioneer cohort in September 2022, five SP employees will be onboarded as full-time students, where they will get to apply existing practices from the workplace, and hone their skills through actual work exposure made possible by SIT’s unique applied learning pedagogy. SP will be sponsoring their studies as they pursue their career aspirations and grow their engineering capabilities. 8. This MOU is an extension of the ongoing partnership between SIT and SP over the past few years – which currently includes SP’s investment in Singapore’s first experimental, multi-energy microgrid at SIT’s future campus in the Punggol Digital District, signaling a long-term commitment of both organisations’ collective efforts to advance the energy sector in Singapore. Annex A: SIT’s EPE Undergraduate Degree Programme Tailored for SP Employees The Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Electrical Power Engineering (EPE) is a three-year direct honours degree programme jointly offered by SIT and Newcastle University (NU). As the first locally-offered, dedicated Electrical Power Engineering undergraduate programme, the curriculum is specially customised to meet industry demand in Singapore. It will play an important role in increasing the number of graduates to address the workforce demand in the power sector whilst fulfilling the country’s vision of becoming a Smart Nation. As a joint programme, it will leverage the expertise and resources of both SIT and NU. https://www.singaporetech.edu.sg/undergraduate-programmes/electrical-power-engineering Page 2 of 3 About Singapore Institute of Technology The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) is Singapore’s first University of Applied Learning, offering specialised degree programmes that prepare its graduates to be work-ready professionals.
