JTC and SP Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the Smart Grid at the Asia Clean Energy Summit 2018 today, witnessed by Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Masagos Zulkifli. This partnership will drive the design of smart energy solutions comprising the areas of renewable energy and electric mobility, that will be integrated with the Open Digital Platform in the District, announced in July this year. 2. Under the MoU, JTC and SP Group will develop and implement a Smart Grid within PDD. Companies in PDD can look forward to adopting clean sources of energy, such as solar energy generated from building roofs, and take advantage of new technologies, such as electric vehicle charging and smart metering. Through the Smart Grid, about 1,700 tonnes of carbon emissions could be reduced per year, equivalent to taking 270 cars off the road. 3. The Smart Grid will be integrated with the Open Digital Platform, allowing communication and interaction with other building systems in the District, such as the District Cooling System (DCS) and the Building Management System (BMS). For instance, on a hot sunny day, the Smart Grid will register an increase in electricity consumption as the air conditioning systems consume more energy to maintain the temperature in the building. It automatically sends a signal to the Open Digital Platform, which detects the specific rooms where the temperature has increased. The Open Digital Platform then activates the Building Management System within the building to lower the blinds in those rooms, reducing heat gain and conserving energy. 1 4. JTC’s Assistant Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David Tan, said, “Beyond utilities and technologies, it is about giving the community the data and tools to make informed decisions about their energy consumption, be it adopting clean sources of energy or optimising usage to reduce costs. Aggregated data on energy consumption from the Smart Grid will be made available for academics, researchers, start-ups and enterprises to encourage innovation in the domains of clean energy and energy management.” 5. Mr Goh Chee Kiong, Head, Strategic Development of SP Group said, “SP Group is committed to design and implement smart energy solutions, driven by our deep energy integration and digital capabilities. We are pleased to work with JTC to help businesses in the Punggol Digital District save cost and go green through our innovative smart grid.” 6. At the forefront of Singapore’s Smart Nation push, PDD is envisioned to be a vibrant and inclusive district where cutting-edge technology and social innovation transform the way we work, live, learn and play in the future. PDD will house key growth sectors such as digital and cybersecurity, and will also be the first district in Singapore to be fully integrated with Internet of Things systems from the ground up. This infrastructure will create conducive testbed environments for businesses and entrepreneurs, allowing them to thrive in a digital economy, while the enhanced experience brought about by the digitalisation will provide a sustainable and connected environment for the community. The first buildings in District are expected to be completed by 2023. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 About JTC Set up in 1968, JTC is the lead government agency responsible for the planning and development of industrial infrastructure to support and catalyse the growth of industries and enterprises in Singapore.

The solution uses applied Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and Internet of Things (IoT) to reduce energy consumption in a building. It takes into consideration factors like occupancy and weather and optimises air-flow to evenly cool areas. SP partnered with 75F to customise and test the performance and viability of the solution for Singapore’s tropical environment. The solution was trialled for a year at Singapore Institute of Technology’s (SIT) campus at Dover, and the Mercatus Co-operative Limited’s corporate office at One Marina Boulevard in Raffles Place. Both locations achieved more than 30 per cent in energy savings, while improving comfort for occupants by ensuring that the indoor temperature, and air quality were optimal. With the validated outcomes, SP and 75F will offer the solution to customers in Singapore, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia. Air-conditioning contributes 60 per cent of a building’s electricity consumption. With buildings consuming a third of Singapore’s total electricity consumption 1 , this new solution will help Singapore reduce electricity consumption and support the goal of cutting national emissions intensity by 36 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Mr Brandon Chia, Head, Centre of Excellence, SP Group said: “SP Group has partnered with 75F on this micro-climate control solution that leverages A.I. and IoT. It enables customers to enjoy cooler comfort in buildings while lowering their carbon footprint. We look forward to developing more next-generation technologies to help customers in Singapore and the region save energy and cost.” The micro-climate control solution is a self-learning, intuitive building intelligence system that optimises and regulates air-conditioning in buildings to improve operational efficiency and occupant experience. The system’s central control unit divides large open spaces into smaller 1 Source: The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Super Low Energy Technology Roadmap Report 1 zones that balances the temperature, air flow, carbon dioxide (CO 2) within each zone. It also optimises the air-conditioning operation by using the least amount of energy to achieve the required comfort. Gaurav Burman, APAC President, 75F said: “Both 75F and SP are committed to saving energy and reducing the carbon footprint of commercial buildings. The Asia Pacific market, especially Singapore, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia, represent a huge opportunity given their economic growth, rising energy costs and the growing focus to improve occupant experience and operational efficiency. This partnership combines 75F’s award-winning technology with SP’s capabilities and track record in the region, allowing both companies to accelerate our growth.” SP’s partnership with 75F first started as part of SP’s Energy Advanced Research and Development (SPEAR) programme, under the SP Centre of Excellence (SP CoE).

It enables everyone in Singapore to (1) be more aware of the environmental impact of their daily actions, and (2) adopt behaviour that saves energy and cost. This is especially useful with electricity consumption rising during the hotter period of the year and people staying at home to limit the spread of COVID-19. Typically, the average household in Singapore consumes seven per cent 1 more electricity during the months of April to August. This is attributed to the hotter months when there is higher usage of air conditioning. With an increase of work-from-home arrangements and the month-long school holiday being brought forward to May, it also points to higher electricity and water consumption. To enable everyone in Singapore to go green and consume energy more efficiently, SP Group has introduced an enhanced My Carbon Footprint which is available on the SP Utilities App. My Carbon Footprint promotes behaviour and lifestyle changes to reduce carbon emissions through greater awareness of the environmental impact from one’s lifestyle. First launched in December 2019, the previous version allows users to view their carbon emissions resulting from their electricity consumption. In the enhanced version, users will be able to track their emissions from not just electricity, but also their water and gas consumption. They will also be able to calculate the total amount of carbon emissions of their daily activities, according to their household profile, mode and duration of commute, frequency of holiday travel, spending habits and food consumption. Designed and built in-house at SP, the calculator is also programmed on localised emission factors. Screengrab of the result page from My Carbon Footprint can be found in Annex A. 1 Based on average electricity consumption figures for Mar 2019-Feb 2020, available at www.spgroup.com.sg/what-we-do/billing 1 Ms May Liew, Head (Sustainability & Open Innovation), SP Group said: “Using SP Group’s My Carbon Footprint, everyone can see how their actions impact the environment. Users can take steps to be energyefficient while staying home and sustain green lifestyle choices to reduce their carbon footprint. Through this, everyone can play a role in contributing towards a greener, cleaner environment for Singapore.” The average consumption patterns of a consumer in Singapore result in more than eight tonnes of carbon emissions annually 2 . To absorb this impact on the environment, more than 400 rain trees are required. On a household level, the average annual electricity consumption of a four-room HDB household is equivalent to about 1.8 3 tonnes of carbon emissions – requiring approximately 90 rain trees per household. The My Carbon Footprint enables everyone to take simple actions to lower carbon emission every day. Anyone can download the App and use My Carbon Footprint and tools, regardless of their electricity retail provider or meter type. -Ends- 2 Data calculated using My Carbon Footprint based on consumption habits by an average Singaporean as published on singstat.gov.sg, data.gov.sg or from other credible sources. 3 Based on 2018’s grid emission factor of 0.4188 kgCO2/kWh. Average monthly electricity use for a 4-room flat based on EMA figures in 2018 is 353.9 kWh. 2 About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

Electricity Tariff Revision For The Period 1 April to 30 June 2020https://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Electricity-Tariff-Revision-For-The-Period-1-April-to-30-June-2020 Media Release Electricity Tariff Revision For The Period 1 April to 30 June 2020 Singapore, 31 March 2020 - For the period from 1 April to 30 June 2020, electricity tariffs (before 7% GST] will decrease by an average of 5.1% or 1.22 cents per kWh compared with the previous quarter. This is due to lower energy costs compared with the previous quarter. For households, the electricity tariff (before 7% GST] will decrease from 24.24 to 23.02 cents per kWh for 1 April to 30 June 2020. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in four-room HDB flats will decrease by $3.89 (before 7% GST] [see Appendix 3 for the average monthly electricity bill for different household types]. *before 7% GST SP Group supports the government’s Resilience Budget 2020 measures to support businesses and manage costs. In the same spirit, SP Group will do its part to defer increasing its network cost to transport electricity through the power grid for 1 year. This will reduce electricity tariff for households by 2.5%. SP Group reviews the electricity tariffs quarterly based on guidelines set by the Energy Market Authority (EMA), the electricity industry regulator. The tariffs shown in Appendix 1 have been approved by the EMA. Appendix 1   Appendix 2 BREAKDOWN OF ELECTRICITY TARIFF 1. The electricity tariff consists of the following four components: Energy costs (paid to the generation companies): This component is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the cost of fuel and power generation. The fuel cost is the cost of imported natural gas, which is tied to oil prices by commercial contracts. The cost of power generation covers mainly the costs of operating the power stations, such as the manpower and maintenance costs, as well as the capital cost of the stations. Network costs (paid to SP PowerAssets): This fee is reviewed annually. This is to recover the cost of transporting electricity through the power grid. Market Support Services Fee (paid to SP Services): This fee is reviewed annually. This is to recover the costs of billing and meter reading, data management, retail market systems as well as for market development initiatives. Market Administration and Power System Operation Fee (paid to Energy Market Company and Power System Operator): This fee is reviewed annually to recover the costs of operating the electricity wholesale market and power system. Appendix 3 Factsheet: Households' Electricity Consumption During the Circuit Breaker Periodhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Factsheet-Households-Electricity-Consumption-During-the-Circuit-Breaker-Period Media Release Factsheet: Households' Electricity Consumption During the Circuit Breaker Period Singapore households’ electricity consumption typically increases from April through August. This is because the weather tends to be hotter in these months, and households use more electricity to power their fans or air-conditioners to stay cool. 2. During the Circuit Breaker (CB) period, most Singaporeans have been staying, working, or studying from home. This, coupled with the hotter weather, has led to higher electricity usage as well. For example, we saw an average increase of 22% in daily household electricity consumption in May 2020, compared to February 2020. How Households Are Billed During the Circuit-Breaker Period 3. Under normal circumstances, SP Group will send meter readers to visit households to record their electricity, water and gas consumption every alternate month. From 7 April to 1 June 2020, SP Group suspended physical meter reading services in line with the safe distancing measures to minimise the transmission of Covid-19. 4. For households who do not have advanced electricity meters and also did not submit their own meter readings, their April and May consumption were estimated based on previous months’ consumption data. This would result in an underestimation of their bills for these months. When SP Group resumed its pre-CB physical meter reading routine from 2 June 2020, the accumulated underestimated amount of consumption will be adjusted in the June or July bill. Therefore, the June or July utility bills could be higher than the April and May bills. See below for the illustration For consumers whose electricity meters are read during odd months 5. About 300,000 households have advanced electricity meters, and their electricity consumption is read remotely. They would be billed based on their actual consumption for April and May. Support to Households 6. As part of the Budget 2020 Care and Support Package, eligible HDB households will receive double their regular GST Voucher U-Save this year, through a one-off GST Voucher U-Save Special Payment. Eligible households with five or more members will receive an additional GST Voucher – U-Save rebate. The next round of disbursement of the regular GST Voucher U-Save rebate and GST Voucher U-Save Special Payment will be in July 2020. The first disbursement of the additional GST Voucher U-Save rebate for eligible larger households with five or more members will be in October 2020. For more information, visit www.gstvoucher.gov.sg. 7. As part of the recently announced Fortitude Budget, each household with at least one Singapore Citizen will receive a one-off $100 Solidarity Utilities Credit for doing their part in staying home during the CB period. This amount will be credited in the July or August utilities bill with SP Group and covers all property types. 8. In support of the Government’s Resilience Budget 2020 measures to freeze all government fees and charges for one year, SP Group has deferred grid charges amounting to S$343 million and maintained its grid fee to customers. What Households Can Do to Be Billed According to Actual Consumption 9. Households are encouraged to submit their own meter readings so as to be billed based on their actual consumption. 10. They can submit their meter readings via the following channels: a) SP Utilities app - Download the app from spgrp.sg/mobileapp. Go to “Explore” and select “Submit Meter”. b) SP Utilities Portal - Log on to SP Utilities Portal at spgrp.sg/UPortal. Go to “Usage” and select “Submit Meter Readings”. c) WhatsApp - Take a photo of the meter (with the meter number and meter reading clearly shown) and send to 8482 8636. d) Email – Email the meter readings to customerreading@spgroup.com.sg. e) Automated Phone System – Call 1800 222 2333 to submit meter readings via the automated option. 11. Households can refer to their SP bills for their meter submission period (refer to image below). They can submit their meter readings up to three days (by 5pm) from the scheduled meter reading date. For those who have downloaded the SP Utilities app, they can also set an alert for their meter reading submission period.

This is due to higher energy costs (as detailed in Appendix 1) compared with the previous quarter. For households, the electricity tariff (before GST) will increase from 27.43 to 27.74 cents per kWh for the period 1 July to 30 September 2023. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in HDB four-room flats will increase by $1.14 (before GST). SP Group reviews the electricity tariffs every quarter based on guidelines set by the electricity industry regulator, Energy Market Authority (EMA). Please refer to Appendix 1 for the components of the electricity tariff, Appendix 2 for the tariffs approved by EMA, and Appendix 3 for the average monthly electricity bills for households.   Issued by: SP Group 2 Kallang Sector Singapore 349277 www.spgroup.com.sg Appendix 1 BREAKDOWN OF ELECTRICITY TARIFF 1.

Joint Media Release - Outdoor Cooling Innovation Made In Singapore By ST Engineering And SP Group For National Day Paradehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/b6ee8da8-4085-4f09-adfe-57cd645c169d/%5B20170727%5D+Joint+Media+Release+-+Outdoor+Cooling+Innovation+Made+In+Singapore+By+ST+Engineering+And+SP+Group+For+National+Day+Parade.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
Joint Media Release OUTDOOR COOLING INNOVATION MADE IN SINGAPORE BY ST ENGINEERING AND SP GROUP FOR NATIONAL DAY PARADE Singapore, 27 July 2017 – In a first for Singapore’s National Day Parade (NDP), segments of audiences will enjoy cool air comfort outdoors at the Floating Platform, through a made-in- Singapore innovation that ST Engineering and SP Group (SP) have created. This engineering solution builds on ST Engineering’s Airbitat Smart Cooler’s revolutionary deep cooling technology and SP’s underground district cooling network at Marina Bay that provides chilled water for air-conditioning of buildings in Marina Bay. This solution functions on chilled water running from SP’s same underground system, which is more energy-efficient than electricitypowered cooling devices. This low-cost outdoor cooling saves 90 per cent in energy consumption compared to conventional air-conditioning. Launched at the NDP Preview show on Saturday 29 July, there are 29 sets at and around the Floating Platform. In this first roll-out, the sets will be placed closest to the audience sections occupied by spectators with special needs, such as those in wheelchairs, and at areas where spectator queues may form. This unprecedented system unlocks the potential of urban spaces in land-scarce Singapore and transforms the way communities live, work and play. It also demonstrates how industry collaboration can scale up urban solutions quickly and actively deploy innovative concepts to help build an environmentally sustainable Singapore. Gareth Tang, General Manager of Innosparks, an Open Lab by ST Engineering, said, “We believe in solving complex problems of society through engineering. This innovative collaboration is one way ST Engineering pushes boundaries to create breakthrough, energy-efficient and sustainable solutions to improve daily lives.” Managing Director of SP Group’s Singapore District Cooling, Jimmy Khoo, said, “This gamechanging technology makes outdoor cooling viable in Singapore’s climate. Tapping on SP Group’s underground district cooling system that serves several buildings in Marina Bay, we are developing sustainable solutions that will help consumers save energy and cost.” 1 About ST Engineering ST Engineering (Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd) is an integrated defence and engineering group specialising in the aerospace, electronics, land systems and marine sectors.

Airbitat is effective all-day and adapts intelligently to varying conditions throughout the day to deliver ultra-efficient cooling. Unlike conventional one-mode coolers, Airbitat’s intelligent system detects the ambient environment and engages the right cooling mode to deliver the right level of thermal comfort. Most importantly, the Airbitat Smart Cooler is engineered to be eco-friendly, with negligible waste heat generation when compared to conventional air conditioning, and energy-smart as well. A typical 8- hour cooling cycle registers a combined energy and water cost as low as $2.50 a day. Singapore District Cooling’s Underground System Singapore District Cooling (SDC) operates the world’s largest underground district cooling system that provides reliable and efficient air conditioning 24/7, 365 days to 23 iconic buildings in the Marina Bay area. District cooling contributes to a sustainable Singapore. The system saves as much as 40 per cent in electricity consumption, and reduces 34,500 tonnes carbon dioxide emissions annually – equivalent to removing 10,000 cars from Singapore’s roads. The electricity savings in the Marina Bay area are equivalent to powering 23,718 3-room HDB flats for a year. Engineering and design makes SDC’s operations unique, enabling this huge industrial facility to be housed underground, freeing up space for more important use in land-scarce Singapore. Overseas, SDC is building a district cooling system for CapitaLand’s Raffles City Chongqing. Once completed, the system will enable the development to save 50 per cent in energy savings and reduce utility costs by about S$30 million over the next 20 years. 4

News Release JTC AND SP GROUP TO DEVELOP AND OPERATE SINGAPORE’S FIRST SMART GRID FOR BUSINESS PARKS AT PUNGGOL DIGITAL DISTRICT Partnership will help the District optimise energy consumption, reduce carbon footprint and save cost for businesses and consumers Singapore, 31 October 2018 – A Smart Grid system that provides green energy and increases energy efficiency will serve businesses and consumers in the upcoming Punggol Digital District (PDD). JTC and SP Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the Smart Grid at the Asia Clean Energy Summit 2018 today, witnessed by Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Masagos Zulkifli. This partnership will drive the design of smart energy solutions comprising the areas of renewable energy and electric mobility, that will be integrated with the Open Digital Platform in the District, announced in July this year. 2. Under the MoU, JTC and SP Group will develop and implement a Smart Grid within PDD. Companies in PDD can look forward to adopting clean sources of energy, such as solar energy generated from building roofs, and take advantage of new technologies, such as electric vehicle charging and smart metering. Through the Smart Grid, about 1,700 tonnes of carbon emissions could be reduced per year, equivalent to taking 270 cars off the road. 3. The Smart Grid will be integrated with the Open Digital Platform, allowing communication and interaction with other building systems in the District, such as the District Cooling System (DCS) and the Building Management System (BMS). For instance, on a hot sunny day, the Smart Grid will register an increase in electricity consumption as the air conditioning systems consume more energy to maintain the temperature in the building. It automatically sends a signal to the Open Digital Platform, which detects the specific rooms where the temperature has increased. The Open Digital Platform then activates the Building Management System within the building to lower the blinds in those rooms, reducing heat gain and conserving energy. 1 4. JTC’s Assistant Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David Tan, said, “Beyond utilities and technologies, it is about giving the community the data and tools to make informed decisions about their energy consumption, be it adopting clean sources of energy or optimising usage to reduce costs. Aggregated data on energy consumption from the Smart Grid will be made available for academics, researchers, start-ups and enterprises to encourage innovation in the domains of clean energy and energy management.” 5. Mr Goh Chee Kiong, Head, Strategic Development of SP Group said, “SP Group is committed to design and implement smart energy solutions, driven by our deep energy integration and digital capabilities. We are pleased to work with JTC to help businesses in the Punggol Digital District save cost and go green through our innovative smart grid.” 6. At the forefront of Singapore’s Smart Nation push, PDD is envisioned to be a vibrant and inclusive district where cutting-edge technology and social innovation transform the way we work, live, learn and play in the future. PDD will house key growth sectors such as digital and cybersecurity, and will also be the first district in Singapore to be fully integrated with Internet of Things systems from the ground up. This infrastructure will create conducive testbed environments for businesses and entrepreneurs, allowing them to thrive in a digital economy, while the enhanced experience brought about by the digitalisation will provide a sustainable and connected environment for the community.

Asia-Pacific Utilities Improve In SP Group’s 2019 Smart Grid Indexhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Asia-Pacific-Utilities-Improve-In-SP-Group-s-2019-Smart-Grid-Index
Media Release Asia-Pacific Utilities Improve In SP Group’s 2019 Smart Grid Index Singapore, 31 October 2019 – Utilities in Asia Pacific nations made significant improvements in the 2019 Smart Grid Index (SGI) rankings with an overall improvement by 10 percentage points from 2018. Improvements were most notable in areas of integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), security, and customer empowerment and satisfaction. The SGI is the world’s first industry framework that measures and benchmarks grid smartness across 75 utilities from 35 countries. Here are the key findings from the 2019 results: Asia-Pacific utilities have made significant improvements in DER integration, security and customer empowerment and satisfaction. This reflects the increasing importance of enhancing renewable energy penetration into the grid, cyber security defence and a greater focus on customer satisfaction. State Grid Beijing was the most improved utility in this year’s results, increasing its score by 29 percentage points – from 50 per cent in 2018 to 79 per cent in 2019. Ranked #9 on the SGI, it made significant improvements in the areas of data analytics, DER integration and security. Key contributions include its first large grid-connected energy storage system, use of predictive analytics for Asset Health Index, adoption of the National Cyber Security Protocol and providing real-time energy consumption monitoring to customers. North American utilities continue to lead in smart grid development. As a region, they improved by 8 percentage points in Data Analytics. This can be attributed to increasing smart meter coverage and wider data analytics application to their grid system. It makes planning, operating and maintaining the network more efficient, thereby providing better value to customers. Ranked #1 on the SGI is PG&E for the second year running. The American utility scored 93 per cent, improving by 7 percentage points from 2018. It continued to achieve best practices in Monitoring & Control, Data Analytics, DER Integration, Green Energy and Security, and improved its score on supply reliability. Globally, there is increasing focus on security, which on average increased by more than 13 percentage points. This comes on the back of greater emphasis on strengthening against cyber security threats to utilities SP Group, ranked 33, scoring 66 per cent this year, an improvement of 16 percentage points from its 2018 score, mainly in the areas of green energy, data analytics and customer empowerment and satisfaction. This was due to its efforts to install an island-wide highspeed electric vehicle charging network, provide half-hourly electricity usage with smart meters and achieving higher customer satisfaction scores. Mr. Sim Kwong Mian, Chairman of the SP Engineering Council said: “We are greatly encouraged that within a short two years, almost one-third of the utilities benchmarked improved by more than 10 percentage points. We see utilities advancing to counter the potential impact of climate change and security threats, while meeting customer demands and expectations.” A simple definition of a smart grid is an electricity network that integrates distributed energy resources and deploys technology to better serve customers. Distributed Energy Resources (DER) refer to energy technologies such as solar panels, energy storage systems, and electric cars and their charging points that can be connected to and respond to signals from the grid. The SGI’s seven key dimensions are: Monitoring and Control Data Analytics Supply Reliability Integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Green Energy Security Customer Empowerment and Satisfaction   SP Group developed the SGI last year to advance its own grid development and encourage the sharing of best practices. The SGI benchmarking results identify best practices in smart grid development by utilities to enhance service offerings, save cost, and be more sustainable.

The Sunday Times - Open Electricity Market - How to save energy and moneyhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/jcr:4b271c9a-e89d-4c36-ae95-3f38f985c89c
B14 | The Sunday Times | Sunday, September 1, 2019 Me & My Property Before investing in properties, entrepreneur Gerald Tan researches extensively such as viewing listings online. B11 The Energy Market Authority stated earlier this year that consumers who have switched out of buying electricity from SP Power to one of the 12 electricity retailers pay a rate that is about 20 to 30 per cent lower than the regulated tariff. ST FILE PHOTO Open electricity market: How to save energy and money About 34% of household consumers made switch, most on 24-month standard price plan Lorna Tan Invest Editor The nationwide roll-out of the Open Electricity Market (OEM) has been completed so consumers have the power to choose who to buy electricity from and potentially lower their power bills. The roll-out started with a soft launch to households and businesses in Jurong in April last year and ended with the last zone in May, with around 1.6 million accounts or households connected. You would have received a notification package and a booklet on how to switch out of buying electricity from SP Power to one of the 12 retailers. The option to choose from these electricity retailers comes with benefits like competitive pricing and innovative offers such as cash rebates if paying via selected credit cards. About 34 per cent of household consumers have made a switch. The Energy Market Authority (EMA) stated earlier this year that consumers who have switched pay an electricity rate that is about 20 to 30 per cent lower than the regulated tariff. Retailers are offering rates ranging from 17.66 cents/kWh (kilowatt hour ) to 23.01 cents/kWh for their fixed price plans and discounts ranging from 14.5 per cent to 25 per cent off the regulated tariff plans. Most households that switched signed up for 24-month standard price plans. The fixed-price plans have seen a higher take-up than the discount off the regulated tariff plans, the EMA said. Bear in mind that you should buy electricity only from retailers authorised by the EMA. And buying electricity from a retailer does not change the way power is physically supplied to you because SP will continue to operate the national grid. For those who have not switched to an electricity retailer, there is no time pressure as you can change at any time and you can continue to buy electricity from SP at the regulated tariff as you do today. The Sunday Times highlights the role of SP, and the various plans and factors to consider so you can make an informed decision on the price plan that best suits your needs. SP’s role in OEM SP does not generate or sell electricity. It buys it from power generation companies and distributes it to consumers at zero markup. SP has continued to own, operate and maintain the national electricity grid since the OEM. It transmits and distributes electricity to all consumers. This ensures a reliable supply, regardless of your choice of retailer. SP also acts as a safeguard. If a retailer ceases operations, SP Group will take over the accounts at the default tariff price and continue to supply electricity to consumers. SP’s Wholesale Price Plan Consumers can choose from any of the 12 retailers (the list may change over time), selecting one of the many price plans that best suits their needs. Some consumers may not be aware that they can also buy directly from the wholesale electricity market via SP. This is because SP offers two price plans – the regulated tariff and a wholesale price.

Residential customers had the option of the wholesale price when their respective zones opened up, starting with Jurong in April last year. Price plans available to consumers REGULATED TARIFF This price plan is regulated and set by the EMA quarterly. The tariff takes into consideration the longterm cost of producing electricity and looks to protect consumers from volatile oil and gas prices. As this is a regulated price, SP does not have the flexibility of lowering it by bundling with other offers and service partners. Who is suited for this? Typically, consumers with low electricity consumption prefer to stick to the option they are familiar with and not bother with gimmicks or additional terms and conditions. The tariffed price is stable and regulated. WHOLESALE ELECTRICITY PRICE You can choose to buy electricity directly from the wholesale market at no mark-up. As the prices are determined by market forces, they are the lowest price out there. However, prices fluctuate due to demand and supply of real-time electricity consumption across Singapore. On a day when heavy industries consume a lot of electricity, the demand is high and hence the price is higher compared with night hours when these heavy industries shut down. Who is suited for this? This can be considered by consumers who are more savvy, who do not mind the volatility of real-time electricity costs that change every 30 minutes, and if they tend to consume power more in the night (for example, by using air conditioning) when prices are cheaper than in the day time. In addition, there is no fixed term tied to this option so you can terminate as and when you want. RETAIL PRICE There are multiple plans that are offered by retailers. They can be grouped into: • Fixed price – A fixed price per kilowatt of electricity. A household on this plan will pay a constant rate (for example, 20 cents/kWh) throughout the contract duration. Note that the rates retailers offer may be higher or lower than the regulated tariff. • Discount-off tariff – Discount based on a fixed percentage off the regulated tariff. The family that opts for this plan will get a fixed discount off the prevailing regulated tariff (for example, 5 per cent) throughout the contract duration. The regulated tariff is reviewed by SP Group quarterly and approved by the EMA. While these two plans are relatively cheaper compared with the regulated tariff and could be creatively bundled with other offerings and service partners, they look at the short-term cost of producing electricity, which is why they tend to be tied to a one- or two-year lock-up period. Who is suited for this? It is important that you understand the terms and conditions before signing up for a plan. Check things like whether you need to pay a fee if you terminate the plan and make a switch. Do not make the decision to switch to a retailer simply based on price. Assess your lifestyle needs and consumption patterns. In general, if you are looking at locking up a fixed price for the next one or two years, getting a fixedpriced plan is an option. Others who would like a fixed discount over the regulated tariff can opt for the discount-off tariff plan. Some retailers also offer green-energy plans that are catered towards consumers who want to do their part for the environment. Making comparisons There are more than 100 different plans offered by electricity retailers. You can visit compare.openelectricitymarket.sg to make price comparisons. Seedly has also launched an Electricity Market price comparison tool which compares the plans based on user reviews, rates, housing type, promotional codes and deals in the market. Over at UOB Bank, its UOB Utility Marketplace makes it easy for consumers to compare providers and plans through its Electricity Price Plan Recommender. lornatan@sph.com.sg Understanding the electricity tariff SP Group does not have a retailer licence and can only supply electricity to consumers at the regulated tariff rate. About 75 per cent of the tariff goes directly to generation companies as SP passes down the cost directly without any mark-up. Approximately 24 per cent of the regulated tariff goes to SP for grid charges and a market-support services fee. This component of the tariff works out to approximately five to six cents, and goes towards operating, maintaining and upgrading the national electricity grid. While energy costs have gone up and down through the years, SP says the fees for maintaining the grid have been kept stable over the past decade. SP Group is believed to be the most reliable energy distributor in the world, based on the average length of electricity interruption experienced by users. According to the System Average Interruption Duration Index, Singapore’s score is under a minute, next best is Osaka at five minutes. Energy-saving tips Electricity is generated here by burning natural gas and oil, which releases pollutants and greenhouse gases. These trap heat from the sun and keep it from escaping, causing the earth to become warmer, which in turn changes climates everywhere. When we use electricity wisely, there will be less pollution and fewer greenhouse gases. So it’s important to do our part to practise good energy conservation habits. Here are some household energy-savings tips from Singapore Power and the National Environment Agency. LIVING ROOM • Choose energy-saving lighting such as LED bulbs instead of incandescent lamps. • Always switch off electrical appliances at the power socket. Standby power can account for up to 10 per cent of home energy use. BEDROOM • Service your air-conditioners and clean the filters regularly to ensure optimal working condition. • Set the air-conditioner temperature to 25 deg C or higher. The lower the temperature, the more electricity is used. • Close doors and windows when the air-conditioning is on. • Use a laptop instead of desktop as it uses less electricity. KITCHEN • Cover liquids and food stored in the refrigerator. Uncovered items release moisture, forcing the compressor to work harder to keep the temperature low. • Allow food to cool before putting it into the refrigerator. Hot food causes the compressor to work harder to keep the temperature low. • Match the size of the pot with the size of the burner. This is because energy is lost when small pots are used on larger burners. • Wash with an optimal load to maximise energy savings. Lorna Tan Publishedandprinted bySingapore Press Holdings Limited.
