SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Imprinting the SP DNA in Chongqing, China SUSTAINABILITY Chief of Operations for Cooling at SP’s Sustainable Energy Solutions, Ang Chee Keong, at SP’s district cooling plant at Marina Bay. “Staying cool” has been Ang Chee Keong’s key mission over the last 12 years in SP Group (SP), after he left his previous role as an oil terminal manager at a power generation company. The Chief of Operations for Cooling at SP’s Sustainable Energy Solutions played an instrumental role in implementing the world’s largest underground district cooling system in Singapore, at the Marina Bay area. He was also a part of the management team that led the export of SP’s district cooling system and expertise to Chongqing, China. When SP secured the project to build and maintain district cooling facilities at Raffles City Chongqing – a 1.12 million square metre megastructure consisting of a shopping mall, office space, residential apartments, serviced residence and hotel – Chee Keong was tasked to lead the operations team, which saw him relocating to Chongqing for three and a half years. Ang Chee Keong, Chief of Operations for Cooling in Sustainable Energy Solutions addressing his team at the district cooling plant, serving Raffles City Chongqing in China. While Chee Keong settled into his new living environment fairly quickly, the move was not without worry. He had to be away from his wife and three children who could not join him due to practical considerations over her career and education respectively. Chee Keong had to manage the difference in work culture at first, such as the modus operandi of contractors in Chongqing. However, he soon adapted and subsequently shared his learnings with the team who succeeded his work there. One of the greatest satisfaction for Chee Keong was leaving behind SP’s DNA. From operations philosophies to best management practices, Raffles City Chongqing district cooling network provides chilled water for air-conditioning of the buildings, which helps the customer save up to 50 per cent on their energy consumption. SP’s district cooling team in Chongqing, China. “Besides the plant structure and asset interfaces, we also have a strong emphasis on good equipment design and ‘people-centric’ approach in the way we do things,” said Chee Keong.  Since Chee Keong returned to Singapore in January this year, he has been providing remote support to the Chongqing team as they ease into assuming more responsibilities. He is also developing new innovative solutions and is excited to explore integrating useful technologies from China to local projects.  Now that he is surrounded by his favourite local food again, Chee Keong tries to stay fit and go green by cycling to work when he can. Looks like the ‘sustainability’ DNA of our district system left an indelible mark on Chee Keong’s lifestyle too! — 31 August 2020 TAGS SUSTAINABILITYDISTRICT COOLINGRAFFLES CITY CHONGQING YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ SP Group expands sustainable energy operations in China with Chongqing Transport Hub project win STMicroelectronics enhances sustainability with chiller cooling system at Toa Payoh SP signs PPA with BASF for rooftop solar deployment

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation 38 Years with SP: Growing through Change RELIABILITY Maizan Binte Abdullah, Senior Technician from Condition Monitoring (CM), manages a team of 10 to perform health checks across substations in the north of Singapore. Her team collates and analyses recorded measurements and checks for anomalies in switchgears and transformers. Maizan Binte Abdullah performing condition monitoring checks. (Photo was taken before circuit breaker) When Maizan joined SP 38 years ago, she was doing something quite different. Learning and Adapting After completing her post-secondary education, Maizan started as an apprentice in the Electro Mechanical Maintenance Fitting department at the Public Utilities Board (PUB). Subsequently, she was posted to the Meters section to conduct meter maintenance activities. Maizan (in blue attire) and her former colleagues from Meters section enjoying a durian feast together. When PUB corporatised in 1995, she moved to SP where she continued with the Meters section for the next 14 years. She would have thought that would be her home for the rest of her career. However in 2019, she was seconded to CM. This change to field work seemed to be unsurmountable, having been in a deskbound administrative role for more than 20 years. “Given my age, I was very worried that I may not be able to cope with the demands of the new role. However, I recognised that I needed to move out of my comfort zone and acquire new skills to remain relevant,” shared Maizan. After going through training and with strong support from her team and the management, Maizan is settling so well at CM that she became the team lead for North Zone in the same year. A lifelong learner, Maizan completed her part-time Diploma in Engineering (Power Engineering) programme at Singapore Polytechnic in May 2020 under SP’s sponsorship. She soldiered on despite having to juggle her new role and studies. “There were times when I felt overwhelmed and felt like giving up. I am glad I had the support from my family, my boss and colleagues who encouraged me to persevere. This experience has been very enriching, and I look forward to continue growing!” exclaimed Maizan. Growing despite COVID-19 With this mindset, Maizan and her team continued to learn new ways of working to carry out their duties during the Circuit Breaker period. Maizan and her colleagues use handheld detectors to detect for abnormalities in the network. This is to prevent faults from developing and causing power disruptions. “Due to the need to minimise contact, we had to stagger our working hours. This is a challenge as CM relies heavily on teamwork. We also had to wear a mask when doing checks in the substation, which is an enclosed space and often hot and humid,” shared Maizan. However, Maizan takes it in her stride. She performs daily check-ins with her team members via instant messaging and tele-conferencing. With a sparkle in her eyes, she said, “Work is never the same every day. I take this as an opportunity to grow – to be stronger and better in managing change and future crises.” — 27 July 2020 TAGS LIFELONG LEARNERPEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITYCONDITION MONITORING YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Engineer, 27, shares how she is undaunted by male-dominated energy industry & climbs the ranks Lighting the way: Following in his father’s footsteps to keep S’pore’s power grid running 24/7 How this technical officer and robot SPock hunt hazards to protect Singapore’s power tunnels

News Release UOB and SP Group partner to offset 100% or more of household electricity carbon emissions for UOB EVOL cardholders Cardholders can now achieve their sustainability goals seamlessly and conveniently when they charge their utilities bills to their card Singapore, 23 November 2022 – UOB EVOL cardholders will now be able to offset 100 per cent or more of their household electricity carbon footprint for free when they charge SP Group’s (SP) utilities bills to their credit card, via a new exclusive feature jointly launched by UOB and SP this month. With this new feature, when customers charge SP utilities bills to their UOB EVOL card, UOB will fund and contribute 2 per cent of the billed amount to purchase My Green Credits on the SP app on behalf of the customer. My Green Credits is an affordable and convenient way for customers to get on the sustainability movement by greening their energy consumption through the purchase the amount of “green credits” in the form of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) 1 . For example, when customers charge a $90 utilities bill to their UOB EVOL card, they will receive $1.80 worth of complimentary My Green Credits from UOB, equivalent to 2% of the billed amount. My Green Credits is purchased at a cost of S$0.12 per 25 kWh, which will translate to offsetting 375 kWh (kilowatt hour) or equivalent to an average national 4-room HDB flat’s electricity usage. This is equivalent to offsetting 100 per cent of the home’s electricity carbon footprint (see Annex for illustration). New UOB EVOL cardmembers paying their SP bills via the SP app will automatically enjoy the complimentary My Green Credits, while existing cardholders who are using the SP app to pay their bills before 10 November 2022 will simply need to do a one-time re-add of their EVOL card as a payment method to be eligible. My Green Credits will be automatically reflected within the customer’s SP app, with no additional effort required from them when bill payments are made. This benefit is available for both one-time and recurring SP bills payments. UOB EVOL card is the first in the market to partner with SP Group, Singapore’s national grid operator and leading sustainable energy solutions provider in the region, to offer customers complimentary My Green Credits when they use their EVOL Card to make utilities payment. This feature is applicable to all existing and new EVOL cardholders. The My Green Credits purchased will go towards supporting sustainable energy project developments in the region for the generation of green energy. 1 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are tradable green energy attributes that represent units of electricity generated from renewable energy generation facilities. These facilities comply with and are registered under internationally recognised standards, such as the I-REC standard, and are eligible to be issued RECs for every unit of electricity generated.

SP Group Launches World's First International Index For Utilities To Advance In Grid Smartnesshttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-Launches-World-s-First-International-Index-For-Utilities-To-Advance-In-Grid-Smartness
Media Release SP Group Launches World's First International Index For Utilities To Advance In Grid Smartness Singapore, 29 October 2018 – At the ASEAN Energy Business Forum today, SP Group (SP) launched the world’s first smart grid index to help utilities measure and advance in key dimensions of grid development. The Singapore energy utilities company has developed this international benchmarking framework that will enable utilities to identify best-practices by leading industry players. This will help them to develop the infrastructure needed to support Smart Cities and serve customers better. While the provision of reliable, secure and efficient electricity supply remains crucial, there are other key considerations for developing a future-ready grid. The smart grid index provides a framework of seven key dimensions of an electricity grid. These are: supply reliability; monitoring and control; data analytics; integration of DER Distributed Energy Resources (DER); green energy; security; and customer empowerment and satisfaction. The framework was designed to be simple and quantifiable for utilities to easily determine what aspects they are strong in, and where they can improve. Using publicly available data, SP applied the framework on 45 utilities across 30 countries. The published results will allow utilities to identify leading players across the seven dimensions. They can reach out to their counterparts to learn industry best practices to drive smart grid development. At SP Group, we have drawn from our own experience in creating a framework to measure our grid performance and benchmark it internationally with other countries. It has been well received and accepted when previewed earlier this year to industry experts and fellow utilities at the International Utility Working Group meeting in Singapore in April, and at the Conference of the Electric Power Supply Industry in Kuala Lumpur in September. The index’s methodology and benchmarking studies were also validated by the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N). Mr Sim Kwong Mian, Chairman of the SP Engineering Council, said, “We created this index as we wanted a simple, quantifiable framework to advance our own grid development. It has been useful for us and we would like to contribute it to the wider utilities community. It will enable us to learn best practices from each other, towards developing a future-ready grid and to serve our customers better. “Smart grids are a critical infrastructure that supports economic growth while improving the quality of life in a city. SP Group’s smart grid index is useful for utilities to define, measure and advance in the fundamental aspects of grid development. It will provide important data points, aids healthy industry discourse and enables utilities to deliver sustainable solutions for the future,” Professor Kam Chan Hin, Deputy Provost (Education), and former Chair, School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University.
