[20180620] The New Paper - Electric cars to get 500 charging points by 2020https://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:d862933c-2776-4d36-8b45-9ff7fd89ba1c
news Electric cars to get 500 charging points by 2020 SP Group to build Singapore’s largest public electric vehicle charging network ADRIAN LIM, TRANSPORT CORRESPONDENT Energy utilities provider SP Group plans to build 500 charging points for electric vehicles islandwide by 2020. The points will be placed at housing estates, shopping malls, industrial sites and business parks, the firm announced yesterday. While other companies such as Greenlots, Red Dot Power and BlueSG are already in the market, SP Group said its network will be the largest one fully accessible to the public. More than 100 of the charging points will be of the direct current type with a 50 kilowatt power rating that can fully charge a vehicle in as little as 30 minutes. SP Group said there are fewer than five direct current charging points here now. Most points use alternating current, and a lower 7.4kw rating, which takes the car about seven times longer to be fully charged. An app will allow motorists to pay for charging electronically while also getting updates on the availability of charging points. Details on pricing will be disclosed closer to the end of the year, when SP Group sets up its first 30 charging points. These will be a mix of the alternating current and direct current types. There were 592 electric and plug-in hybrid cars on the road here as at the end of last month, about 0.1 per cent of the total car population of 613,383. There are SP Group says its network will be fully accessible to the public. TNP PHOTO: KEVIN LIM also 31 electric-powered goods and commercial vehicles. “There is a chicken-and-egg conundrum when it comes to electric vehicle adoption... Many prospective drivers are concerned about the lack of a pervasive charging network,” said Mr Goh Chee Kiong, head of strategic development at SP Group. He added that some have “range anxiety” – the fear that the electric vehicle will run out of battery power in the middle of a journey. Owners tend to install their own charging points if they live in landed properties or get their condominium management to have stations set up, said Mr Terence Siew, president of the Electric Vehicle Association of Singapore. There are 30 condos with charging points. There will be more public choices available down the road. Charging infrastructure specialist Greenlots operates 16 publicly accessible charging stations, with aims to lift that to 50 by the end of this year. Electricity retailer Red Dot Power announced a partnership in February with PlugIT, a Finnish charging technology specialist, to install at least 50 charging stations by the end of next year. BlueSG, which runs an electric vehicle-sharing programme, aims to build 2,000 charging points by 2020, and make 400 of them available to the public. Electric vehicles generally cost more than comparable combustion engine cars, but Mr Siew said this will change as battery prices drop with mass production and economies of scale. “Electric vehicles will be cost competitive with normal cars,” he added. adrianl@sph.com.sg

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Enabling green mobility in Tengah SUSTAINABILITY SP Group (SP) is partnering Toyota’s authorised car distributor Borneo Motors Singapore (BMS) on EV sharing and leasing schemes for residents of Tengah. SP and BMS signed an MOU to explore other sustainable mobility solutions to support the adoption of EVs at Tengah. This includes the creation of an Innovation and Experience Centre within Tengah that will educate and build awareness on the future of mobility to encourage adoption of electrified vehicles. Both companies will also collaborate on electrification research on user behaviour to gain actionable insights to encourage energy-efficient and safer driving habits. Group CEO Stanley Huang said, “We are enabling a clean energy future for Tengah by integrating our comprehensive suite of smart and sustainable energy solutions across the township. Our partnership with Borneo Motors Singapore aims to accelerate the growth of green mobility for residents, offering them accessibility, convenience and reliability through our EV fast-charging network.

[20210505] Berita Harian - The task of ensuring the health of the power grid is just like a nursehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:4c8093f1-7b4c-48d8-af5a-363061d8c509
Tugas pasti kesihatan grid kuasa ibarat seorang ‘jururawat’ UMPAMA SEORANG JURURAWAT: Pegawai Teknikal pasukan Rangkaian Transmisi SP PowerGrid dilihat sedang melaksanakan “pemeriksaan kesihatan” terhadap salah satu peralatan kuasa elektrik SP. – FOTO SP IBARAT seorang jururawat. Begitulah tugas yang digalas Pegawai Teknikal, Encik Ameerul Mueminiin Abdu Rahman di Singapore Power (SP) demi memastikan kesihatan grid kuasa tempatan terus beroperasi dengan lancar. Biarpun begitu, bapa seorang anak berusia 39 tahun itu berkata, pekerjaannya di Rangkaian Transmisi SP PowerGrid itu cukup memuaskan kerana ia menawarkan banyak peluang termasuk membolehkannya melanjutkan pengajian di peringkat lebih tinggi. Encik Ameerul berkata pekerjaannya yang melibatkan pemeriksaan dan penyelenggaraan grid kuasa elektrik setempat umpama seorang pekerja penjagaan kesihatan bagi memastikan sistem tenaga itu sentiasa sihat dan dapat menyalurkan kuasa elektrik kepada rumah penduduk setempat. “Dengan berbuat demikian, kami boleh menjangkakan kerosakan yang bakal berlaku pada peralatan grid kuasa dan selepas itu kami dapat menjalakan tugas cegah kerosakan secara terlebih dahulu,” katanya. Salah satu projek besar yang dilakukan Encik Ameerul adalah usaha penyelenggaraan alat switchgear di pencawang Labrador. Switchgear merupakan komponen penting bagi memastikan tenaga elektrik disalurkan dengan lancar. “Tidak kira komponen peralatan itu kecil atau pun besar, kami tetap melaksanakan tugas dalam membersih, mengganti dan memastikan alat itu baik untuk digunakan,” tambahnya lagi. Biarpun pekerjaannya memerlukan banyak tenaga dan pengorbanan sekiranya perlu memperbaiki peralatan secara tiba-tiba, Encik Ameerul sentiasa terkenang sifat rajin arwah ayahnya dahulu yang bekerja dalam cabang Operasi Gas Kumpulan SP. “Oleh kerana ibu bapa saya telah berpisah, saya sering bertemu dengan ayah ketika beliau berada di tapak pekerjaan. Di situ saya tertarik dengan cara beliau melakukan pekerjaan, dengan rajin dan jujur dan telah menjalin hubungan rapat dengan para kontraktor di bawah kepimpinannya. “Ayah sayalah yang menggalakkan saya untuk bekerja di SP dan sejak itu saya tidak pernah memandang ke belakang.” Encik Ameerul mula bekerja di SP tujuh bulan selepas beliau menghabiskan Perkhidmatan Negara (NS) pada 2012 kerana ingin mengikut jejak arwah ayahnya itu. Beliau menerima tajaan SP untuk menjalani Higher Nitec dan Politeknik. Kededuanya mengambil masa lima tahun. Tempoh yang dilaluinya itu merupakan tempoh yang paling sukar kerana genap pada jam enam petang, rakan sekerja pulang ke rumah manakala beliau perlu bergegas mengikuti kuliah. Namun pengorbanan itu terbukti berbaloi setelah beliau memperolehi Diploma Kejuruteraan Elektrik dan Elektronik pada 2017 dan menjadi seorang Pegawai Teknikal setahun kemudian. “Dahulu saya mengusik ayah saya bahawa pekerjaannya mudah sekali. Namun sekarang, saya sedar betapa beratnya tanggungjawab yang perlu dipikul menjaga grid kuasa elektrik itu. “Cabaran yang saya hadapi sejauh ini merupakan sebahagian daripada pekerjaan saya, daripada dikejutkan pada tengah malam untuk menyelesaikan masalah di pencawang dan mencari puncanya, saya mengambil ini sebagai pengalaman pembelajaran buat pengembangan diri saya sendiri,” jelas beliau lagi.

TRANSPORT / 21 Disruption looms for property sector as technology investments mount US$6b in venture capital pumped into “proptech” since 2011; 2017 proptech financing expected to hit US$3b By Lee Meixian leemx@sph.com.sg @LeeMeixianBT By Andrea Soh sandrea@sph.com.sg @AndreaSohBT Singapore REAL ESTATE has been a spectator to technology disruption for years, but all that could be changing as the traditionally tech-laggard sector moves into the epicentre of a technology revolution. Some say it is a new generation of managers and executives, digital natives themselves, who are driving the change. Regardless, a new term has been coined to describe this phenomenon: “proptech” – the real estate version of “fintech”. This leveraging of technology to improve property services ranges from an increased use of big data to the introduction of a distributed database such as blockchain technology, to even inventions such as robot receptionists. At a recent proptech panel discussion hosted at the Tech in Asia Singapore conference, JLL Asia Pacific CEO Anthony Couse said: “The next five years is critical to anyone in the real estate sector, whether you are a service provider, or in the world of developing or investing in real estate.” Singapore Disruptproperty.com lists about 33 proptech companies in Singapore, ranging from property search engines, to asset management companies, crowdfunding websites, smart building firms, market research companies, augmented reality service providers and video analytics solution providers to track human traffic in retail malls. According to CB Insights, a venture capital database, the volume of proptech financing globally has been on a steady increase, rising 36 per cent year on year to US$2.7 billion in 2016, and projected to increase another 10 per cent in 2017 to US$3 billion. Of the approximately US$6 billion in venture capital that has been invested in proptech since 2011, about 70 per cent was in the last two years. Those in the industry see opportunities for more investment in the sector. In an interview with The Business Times, Robert Courteau, CEO of Altus Group, a software and data company for real estate, said: “What’s fascinating to me is how little has been spent on technology in this industry when I look at the spectrum of things that AS WAVE after wave of disruption buffets the power sector, grid operator SP Group is taking steps to turn itself into the industry’s “Uber”: In time to come, it sees itself providing a platform that matches the supply and demand of power, especially as power generation becomes a fragmented and distributed business. At the heart of this transformation is the desire to stay relevant to the Singapore consumer, particularly as the progressive liberalisation of Singapore’s electricity market will lead to a fully open market by mid-2018. SP Group – formerly known as Singapore Power Ltd – owns and operates electricity and gas transmission networks in Singapore and Australia. The group, fully-owned by Temasek Holdings, made S$923.5 million in net profit last year, on revenue of S$3.9 billion. In an interview with The Business Times, group chief executive Wong Kim Yin said that while every industry is being disrupted, the power market is undergoing multiple dimensions of such changes. Besides digital transformations, the industry also has had to face rapid technological advances in renewables and battery storage. “For the longest time, you cannot store electricity, or rather you cannot store it cheaply or efficiently. But increasingly that is changing,” he said. “And the moment you can store power, it changes how power will be delivered or consumed.” On top of these, consumers are now demanding sustainability. In order to stay true to its mission of enhancing the quality of life for Singaporeans, the group therefore SP Group poised to transform into ‘power sector’s Uber’ CEO says the moment electricity can be stored, it changes how power will be delivered or consumed Growing investor interest 2013 to Q1 2017 ■ Disclosed funding (US$ million) Deals 114 $451 186 $1,159 250 $1,991 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 has to start building capabilities that will allow for the types of life Singaporeans may want to lead in 30 years, said Mr Wong. To do so, the group has adopted a three-pronged strategy: to be exposed to the latest technologies and ideas in the industry; to test promising ideas, and to have the capability to handle proven technologies. Under the first prong, the group in January this year partnered seven other utilities around the world to launch a global accelerator programme. Called Free Electrons, the programme supports startups developing solutions in areas such as clean energy, energy efficiency and mobility, digitisation, and on-demand customer services. SP Group has also put money in funds, including the Europe-based Environmental Technologies Fund which invests in clean technologies and greentech sectors. “By getting involved in these, we get exposed to all the ideas that people have come up 277 $2,698 247 (Full year projection) $2,973 (Full year projection) 61 $733 Source: CB Insights are important to real estate – from funding, to joint-venture development, to partnerships, to construction planning, to cost monitoring, to leasing, to the crowdsourcing of data, to liquidity, to things like daily valuation . . . If you go across that spectrum, every one of those has an opportunity for improvement in real estate.” Increasingly, he noted that there are venture capital companies that are solely focused on funding proptech startups. “Three years ago, there was no such thing. Now you have venture capital firms whose focus is all on real estate, and I think we will see more of that.” One major theme of fintech that has migrated to proptech is the use of blockchain. There are two main uses of it in the property sector. The first allows for the decentralising of transactions and removing of middlemen such as brokers, land title offices, and conveyance law firms. with,” Mr Wong explained. “We also have the opportunity to work with the entrepreneurs and to invest into them if those are things relevant to us.” A technology of interest to SP Group is blockchain, a decentralised and distributed digital ledger used to record data across many computers. This will be useful in the future energy world – one that is expected to be more distributed in nature with consumers also having the means to Property information such as ownership details, addresses, maintenance and repair history, et cetera, is recorded on the immutable digital ledger, such that home buyers and sellers can enter into “smart contracts” – digital contracts that automate the offline functions presently handled by agents, lawyers and banks. This also makes transactions cheaper and quicker. But Mr Couse said that for this to fully work, it requires the buy-in of the government. The “holy grail” of transacting online is to find a solution that will allow an end-to-end transaction with no break in the process. “If we can crack that and convince governments to completely digitise titles and ownership, then we can have end-to-end transactions and that’s really the end of the agent. “But just like fintech hasn’t removed the traditional banker, this hasn’t really happened. It’s still early days in the property sector, but the manual aspect of real estate is really going to go with automation.” There are early attempts to implement this in Singapore. For instance, peer-to-peer real estate start-up Averspace has launched blockchain-enabled house rentals on its mobile app. Continued on Page 2 SP Group chief executive Wong Kim Yin: “For the longest time, you cannot store electricity, or rather you cannot store it cheaply or efficiently.
