The supply of electricity and electrical installation practices are governed by the Electricity Act and its subsidiary legislation.

1.1.2

1.2
1.2.1

CONNECTION VOLTAGES AND SUPPLY FREQUENCY

In Singapore, the customers load installations are connected at the following voltages: Transmission voltage of 66kV and 230kV Distribution voltage consist of 230V, 400V, 6.6kV, 22kV (may vary within 6%) The supply voltages are classified in the following categories:

1.2.1.1 1.2.1.2

1.2.1.3 1.2.1.4 1.2.1.5 1.2.1.6

Low Tension (LT) refers to 230V,single-phase and 400V, 3-phase High Tension (HT) refers to 22kV and 6.6kV Extra-High Tension (EHT) refers to 66kV Ultra-High Tension (UHT) refers to 230kV

1.2.2

The following connection schemes are provided, according to customers load requirements: 230V, 50 Hz, single-phase, up to a maximum of 23kVA, 100A 400V, 50 Hz, 3-phase, 4-wire. 22kV, 50 Hz, 3-phase, 3-wire for a Contracted Capacity of:

1.2.2.6 1.2.2.7 1.2.2.8

1.2.2.8.1 between 1,700 kW and 12,750kW for 2 HT 22kV services 1.2.2.8.2 between 12,751kW and 25,500kW for 4 HT 22kV services. 1.2.2.9 66kV, 50 Hz, 3-phase, 3-wire for connection with minimum Contracted Capacity of 25,500 kW.

1.3

SUBMISSION OF APPLICATION
SPSL serves as a one-stop customer service centre. It receives all application forms on behalf of SPPA, and responds to all applications made by the Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW), who acts as the customers agent for connection to the transmission system. Customers applying for their installations to be connected to SPPAs transmission system must submit their applications through their LEWs. Every application must be accompanied by all supporting documentation requested by SPSL. A copy of the Application Form is shown in Appendix 1. For a development in the conception/planning stage, the customer is advised to seek consultation regarding SPPAs requirements, such as the provision of a substation, for load connection. The Consultation Form (Appendix 2) must be submitted directly to SPPG by the customers LEW.

1.4
1.4.1

PROVISION OF A SUBSTATION
Direct service connection from SPPA's LT network to the customers installation is available for a small load requirement not exceeding 280kVA (400A). However, the provision of a direct service connection is dependent on the available network capacity in the vicinity. If there is insufficient capacity, the customer is required to provide a substation for the connection.

1.4.2

For a larger load requirement exceeding 280kVA (400A), the customer has to provide a substation for SPPA to install necessary equipment to cater for the load.

1.5

DOMESTIC PREMISES AND LOAD REQUIREMENT NOT EXCEEDING 45kVA

For premises where the electricity meter has already been installed by SPPA and no extension or rewiring work is required, electricity service connection will be turned-on on the next working day from the date of the opening of an account with SPSL. For premises where there is no electricity meter or where extension or rewiring work is required, the customer has to engage a LEW and submit an application for load connection (See Section 2).

1.5.1

1.5.2

1.6

METER
All meters required for measuring a customers electricity consumption and demand (where applicable) are provided and maintained by SPPA. The customer provides meter boards, compartments, kiosks, etc as SPPA may require for the installation of its metering equipment.

1.6.1

Master- And Sub-Metering A Master-meter is a meter measuring the consumption for all units and common areas in a building or cluster of buildings, which are used or occupied by multiple consumers. A Sub-meter is a meter measuring the consumption for a unit in a building or cluster of buildings used or occupied by multiple consumers, whose electricity is taken through a Master-meter. A master and sub-metering scheme is applicable for multi-tenanted premises. Under this scheme, the electricity supply is metered at the intake point and each tenants supply is also separately metered and billed under the appropriate tariff. The owner/developer/landlord shall be billed for the difference in the consumption between that metered at the intake point and the summated consumption of the tenants. Where the owner/developer/landlord takes supply at high tension and is responsible for stepping down the supply to 230V/400V for distribution to tenants, then a rebate of 2% on the summated consumption of the tenants will be granted.

1.6.1.1

Multi-Metered Premises The following are categories of multi-metered premises:

1.6.1.1.1 Residential premises which have landlord and tenant supply connections 1.6.1.1.2 Commercial complexes which have landlord and tenant supply connections

1.6.1.1.3 Multi-storey factories or industrial complexes which have landlord and tenant supply connections 1.6.1.1.4 All multi-metered premises fall under the Master- and Sub-metering scheme with the exception of HDB residential premises.

1.7
1.7.1

TARIFFS FOR NON-CONTESTABLE CUSTOMERS

Tariffs are currently charged for low tension, high tension and extra-high tension electricity consumption. Tariffs are subject to change and are published by SPSL from time to time. Online information on the latest electricity tariffs is available at www.spservices.com.sg.

1.7.2

1.8

PAYMENT FOR ELECTRICITY CHARGES BY CONTESTABLE CUSTOMERS

Contestable customer pays to SPSL or authorised retailers, charges for electricity consumption as ascertained by meters, and transmission charges and other fixed charges as determined by SPSL. Payment for electricity charges must be made on or before the due date specified in the bill.

1.9

OPENING ACCOUNT AND PAYMENT OF SECURITY DEPOSIT FOR USE OF SYSTEM (UOS) CHARGES
The customer must open an account and place a security deposit for UOS charges with SPSL upon application for energisation of service connection.

1.10

TERMINATION OF ACCOUNT
Non-contestable customers must give 4 business days' notice and contestable customers must give 12 business days notice to terminate an account. Such notices must be in writing to SPSL.

1.11

DISCONNECTION OF SERVICE CABLES UPON TERMINATION OF ACCOUNT

Disconnection work involves the de-energisation and removal of service cables and equipment. The following are indicative lead times for the work:

1.11.1

After the disconnection of LT, the lead-time is about 5 business days for the removal of LT service cables where road-opening work is not involved. Where road opening work is involved, a lead-time of 1 month is required. After the disconnection of 6.6KV and 22KV where removal of service cables and equipment are involved, the lead-time is about 1 month. For disconnection of 66kV and 230kV service cables, the service cable and equipment are de-energised within 10 business days, subject to the approval of the Power System Operator (PSO). The subsequent removal of service cables and equipment will depend on the operational requirement and approval of the PSO.

Application For Load Connection

2.1
2.1.1

DISTRIBUTION CONNECTION
Introduction Each premises can have only one customers intake connection point. For modification of connection (such as upgrading of the load requirement) to existing premises, the customer is required to amalgamate the existing service connection into one intake.

2.1.2

Consultation For a development in the initial planning stage, the customer is advised to seek consultation with SPPG to ascertain SPPAs requirements for a new or modified connection to the transmission system. The LEW is required to submit the Consultation Form (Appendix 2), together with a site/location plan to SPPG. After receipt of the submission for consultation, SPPG will send a reply stating the approved load and other technical requirements, such as the provision of substation requirements necessary for the load connection to the transmission system.

2.1.3

Application The Application Form (Appendix 1) together with a copy of the site/location plan, must be submitted to SPSL by the LEW for new or modified connections of new or existing premises to the transmission system.

2.1.3.1

Processing of Application Generally, SPSL responds to applications within 10 business days.

11

The responses are made according to the following customer categories: 2.1.3.1.1 Contestable Customer - A Consumer Connection Agreement, containing the service connection charge payable, the offer letter and the standard terms and conditions with respect to the distribution service connection. - If a substation is required, a letter stipulating the requirements will be forwarded to the customer, and an Agreement offered after the substation plans are endorsed. 2.1.3.1.2 Non-Contestable Customer - A Quotation, containing service connection charge payable and the conditions of service with respect to the distribution service connection - If a substation is required, a letter stipulating the requirements will be forwarded to the customer. A Supply Agreement including the service connection charge payable and the terms & conditions with respect to the distribution service connection, is offered after the substation plans are endorsed. 2.1.3.2 Commencement of Work - SPPG commences work only when the Agreement has been signed and received by SPSL, together with payment of service connection charges. 2.1.4 2.1.4.1 Type of Premises Multi-Metered Premises

2.1.4.1.1 A multi-metered premises is one where the landlord/MCST (i.e. a master-metered consumer or directly connected consumer) receives bulk intake service connection from SPPA, and transforms/reticulates the supply to all the tenants (i.e. sub-metered consumers) within the premises. Any application for new or modified connection (including upgrading) for the bulk intake to the multi-metered premises must be made by the landlord through its LEW. A master-metered consumer means a consumer that is responsible for the common usage of a master-metered installation, which is connected to the transmission system. A master-metered installation means an installation in which supply is received by a master-metered consumer and sub-metered consumers A sub-metered consumer means a consumer, other than a master-metered consumer, that receives supply in a master-metered installation via the electrical system owned by a master-metered consumer. 2.1.4.1.2 The landlord/MSCT or HDB, in the case of HDB premises, must ensure that the total applied load requirement for service connections to the multi-metered premises meet the total existing and future load requirements for all tenants. All 12

tenants applying for any upgrading of load must do so through their mastermetered consumer. In this regard, the master-metered consumer must approve the load of all tenants within the premises. 2.1.4.1.3 If the landlords existing approved load is insufficient to cater for the tenants load requirement, the landlord, as a master-metered consumer, must submit an application to SPSL for modification (upgrading) of service connection to the existing premises. In this case, the existing service cables are amalgamated with the new intake. Hence, there will not be separate direct connections to the tenants of such premises. 2.1.4.2 Premises in Private Housing, Industrial Estates, Commercial Developments Requiring Provision of Low Tension (LT) Distribution Network

2.1.4.2.1 For connection to premises where several parcels of land are to be sold or leased individually, one or more substations must be provided by the developer. Where the individual parcels of land are to be sold prior to development of these substations, details of the substation requirements and approved load must be included in the sales agreement by the future land parcels owner or lessee. 2.1.4.2.2 The developer must provide the developments total load requirement and include the breakdown of the individual premises load requirement (as specified in the sales agreement) and the communal load requirement, if applicable. 2.1.4.2.3 In the case of landed housing estate development, the LEW must liaise with National Parks Board for the siting of overground distribution boxes on turfed areas. SPPA will provide and install the LT distribution network and service connection cables for the development. 2.1.4.3 Premises Involving Temporary Connection With Provision Of Substation

2.1.4.3.1 Special terms and conditions apply in such cases for temporary connection to construction worksites and other temporary premises. The term granted for temporary connection is usually 24 months. 2.1.4.3.2 Where there is a need for the provision of a temporary substation, the customer must provide the site and construct the structure of the substation according to the requirements of SPPA. 2.1.4.3.3 There will be a need to install the necessary cables and equipment to facilitate the temporary connection to the distribution network. The customer pays outright costs for the cables and a monthly hiring charge for the use of the equipment (including the cost of insuring the equipment) during the term for temporary connection.

13

2.1.5 2.1.5.1

Provision of Substation When an application for load connection necessitates the provision of a substation (See Appendices 9 and 10), a site must be provided and a substation constructed by the customer at its own cost. The customer can either choose his substation to be a dedicated or non-dedicated one (See Appendix 35). If the customer opts for a dedicated substation, he has to inform SPPG when he applies for connection. Otherwise, it shall be assumed that the substation would be non-dedicated. The customer is advised to site the substation at an inconspicuous location, away from the main entrance of the development and major public roads. The customer is also encouraged to harmonise, blend and integrate the substation with its development. SPPGs officers and vehicles will have full and unrestricted access to the substation. Service Connection Cables Generally, SPPA supply, install and maintain customer service cable. However, if the customer intake point is at different level to the substation building, or service cable to be installed in cable tray/ladder, the customer shall supply, install and maintain the service cable. In the event that customer supplies the service cable, the customers LEW shall ensure that the service cable complied with SPPA cable specification, and submit cable sample and specification to Distribution Engineering Section for approval prior to procurement. The general type of cables for service connection is shown in Appendix 36.

TRANSMISSION CONNECTION
Consultation A customer may choose to seek preliminary comments from SPPG via the connection consultation process before submitting a formal application. This practice is encouraged as incorporating SPPAs requirements in a developers preliminary proposal would expedite the application process at a later stage. To initiate the connection consultation process, the customer has to submit the Consultation Form (Appendix 2) through an LEW to SPPG. Application The following are steps in the application for service connection:

2.2.1.2

2.2.2

2.2.2.1

The customer submits the Application Form (Appendix 1) through an LEW to SPSL.

14

2.2.2.2

A connection proposal, duly endorsed by the PSO, is given to the customer. It outlines the connection scheme, connection voltage, connection equipment and facilities required of the customer and the estimated connection charges. SPPG endeavors to respond to the customer, through SPSL, within 60 business days and 100 business days for 66kV connections and 230kV connections respectively. Where the application requires the provision of an EHT substation, the customer must adhere to the general requirements attached in Appendix 17. Once customer acknowledges acceptance of SPPGs connection proposal, SPPG proceeds to execute the Consumer Connection Agreement through SPSL. The Agreement contains an Offer Letter, the standard terms and conditions associated with the connection and an estimation of the connection charges Lead-Time for Application of Transmission Connection The timely provision of electricity supply to a development involves the joint efforts of SPSL, SPPG, and the customer and their agents, such as the LEW. While SPSL and SPPG will make every effort to engineer and implement the connection scheme, it is at the same time essential for the new customers and their agents to co-operate via timely submission of applications and plans, timely acceptance of the terms and conditions of connection and compliance with the necessary SPPA or Transmission Code requirements. As a guide for the customer and their agents, the normal lead-times for the events leading to the energisation of 66kV service connections are listed in the box below. The actual time-lead to energisation may vary for each connection, depending on the actual service cable length and the progress of intermediate events leading to completion of service connection works. Customers will be informed accordingly either at the point of application or at any time a review is required. For 230kV service connections, the customer will be informed of the lead-time only at the point of application.

Transmission Charges

3.1
3.1.1

CONSUMER CONNECTION AGREEMENT

All customers are required to enter into a Consumer Connection Agreement with SPPA and to pay Use of System (UOS) charges. Customers having a direct connection to the transmission system must also pay a service connection charge. For non-contestable customers, the Connection Agreement is part of the Supply Agreement. The Consumer Connection Agreement for customers taking HT supply at 6.6 kV/22 kV, EHT supply at 66 kV or UHT supply at 230 kV and above will, inter alia, state the Contracted Capacity, which is deemed to be the requirement for a period of five years. Customers cannot reduce their Contracted Capacity until the expiration of the 5-year period or additional 5-year period. Furthermore, a customer who terminates the supply agreement during the 5-year period or additional 5-year period will be required to pay SPPA through SPSL/Retailer, the Contracted Capacity Charge for the unexpired portion of the 5-year period. UOS charges are payments for the use of the transmission services. The UOS charges are paid for electricity consumption at each metered intake supply point in accordance with the voltage at which a customer receives the electricity supply. The UOS charges are subject to annual review and the revised UOS charges will be published by SPPA. In the case of HT and EHT supply to multi-metered premises, the landlord has to enter into a Connection Agreement for the network capacity required for his own load only, i.e. supply for common services, etc.

3.1.2

3.1.3

3.1.4

16

3.1.5

The UOS Charges are applicable for the following categories of supplies : Low Tension (LT) Supplies (400V/230V) Supply to Low Tension-Small Consumer Supply to Low Tension-Large Consumer High Tension (HT) Supplies (22kV and 6.6kV) Supply to High Tension-Small Consumer, whose Contracted Capacity is less than 1,700 kW per month at each metered intake supply point. Supply to High Tension-Large Consumer, whose Contracted Capacity is at least 1,700 kW per month at each metered intake supply point. Extra-High Tension (EHT) Supplies (66kV) Supply to Extra-High Tension Consumer Ultra-High Tension (UHT) Supplies (230kV and above) Supply to Ultra-High Tension Consumer Temporary Supplies Temporary Supplies apply only to LT and HT supplies for temporary civil engineering and building construction sites.

3.2 3.2.1

USE OF SYSTEM (UOS) CHARGES

Low Tension Small Customer LT supplies (in kWh) to all non-contestable LT consumers are metered on a monthly basis. A flat per kWh UOS rate is levied at each metered intake supply point.

3.2.2

Low Tension Large Customer The large industrial and commercial LT consumers, who are contestable and have time-of-day metering, come under this category. LT Supplies to these contestable consumers are metered on energy (kWh) on a half-hourly time-of-day basis. The respective per kWh charges shall be levied at a Peak and an Offpeak period for the energy supplied at each metered intake supply point.

3.2.2.1

Peak Period Charge The Peak Period Charge payable shall be the monthly charge based on the energy (in kWh) supplied to an installation during the peak period, 7.00 am to 11.00 pm, in that month.

17

3.2.2.2

Off-Peak Period Charge The Off-Peak Period Charge payable shall be the monthly charge based on the energy (in kWh) supplied to an installation during the off-peak period, 11.00 pm to 7.00 am, in that month.

3.2.3

High Tension, Extra-High Tension and Ultra-High Tension Supplies For HT (i.e. HT Small and HT Large), EHT and UHT Supplies, UOS Charges shall be levied at each metered intake supply point as follows : a. b. c. d. e. f. Contracted Capacity Charge; Peak Period Charge; Off-peak Period Charge; Reactive Power Charge; Uncontracted Capacity Charge, and Uncontracted Standby Capacity Charge (applicable to consumers with embedded generation who opt to cap their power demand drawn from the network).

3.2.3.1 3.2.3.1.1

Contracted Capacity Charge The Contracted Capacity Charge is a monthly charge payable in any month for the Contracted Capacity at each metered intake supply point of a consumer. The Contracted Capacity of a consumer's installation shall be the supply capacity (in kW), which is requested for that metered intake supply point. For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to paragraph 3.2.3.1.3 herein, the consumer shall not be allowed to reduce the declared Contracted Capacity upon the signing of the Consumer Connection Agreement / Supply Agreement, notwithstanding the fact that the energisation of the new supply has still not taken place. For a new supply, the Contracted Capacity shall be deemed to be the consumer's requirement for a binding period of 5 years from the target date or the commissioning date for SPPAs plant and equipment, except for the service cable, whichever is later. For new HT, EHT and UHT supplies, the minimum Contracted Capacity for each metered intake supply point shall be as follows : HT with 1 or 2 feeders HT with 3 or more feeders EHT UHT 1,700 kW, 12,750 kW, 25,500 kW, 85,000 kW.

3.2.3.1.2

For new supplies, a request may be made for intermediate steps before the full Contracted Capacity is implemented during the first year of the 5-year binding period. The first step shall be at least one quarter () of the consumers requested full Contracted Capacity at each metered intake supply point. 3.2.3.1.3 After the initial 5-year period, the consumer may, by giving one month's notice in writing, reduce his Contracted Capacity at each metered intake supply point subject to the following minimum values :

Energisation and Turn-on Procedures

The term energise, in the case of a customers installation that is directly connected to the transmission system, refers to the closing of a circuit breaker or other isolating device that is owned and controlled by SPPA. Energisation, de-energisation and re-energisation and all grammatical variations of the term shall be interpreted accordingly. Arrangements need to be made with SPSL for energisation of the service connection and turn-on of a customers electrical installation. This is taken care of by the LEW. The following are arrangements needed by type of premises:

4.1

PREMISES WHERE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS ARE PREVIOUSLY INSPECTED AND ENERGISED NON-DOMESTIC PREMISES (LOAD REQUIREMENT NOT EXCEEDING 45kVA), AND DOMESTIC PREMISES WHERE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS ARE PROVIDED AND PRE-INSPECTED OR PREVIOUSLY INSPECTED AND ENERGISED
This category includes all new HDB apartments and dwelling units in some private residential developments where electrical installations are provided and inspected in advance. It also includes non-domestic premises (supply capacity not exceeding 45kVA) and domestic premises where the existing electrical installations and service connections are intact and only the supply is required to be re-energised. The customer has to open an account with SPSL for electricity service connection (See 4.9.2). The customer is given an appointment for turn-on of service connection. This appointment date is normally the next working day from the date the account is opened. For electrical safety reasons, the customer or his representative must be present at the premises for the turn-on of electricity service connection.

LEAD-TIME FOR APPLICATION FOR SERVICE CONNECTION

The timely provision of electricity supply to a development involves the joint efforts of SPSL, SPPG, and the customer and his agents, such as the LEW. While SPSL and SPPG will make every effort to engineer and implement the connection scheme, it is at the same time essential for the new customers and their agents to play their part such as the early submission of applications and plans, the acceptance of terms and conditions of connection including making the necessary payments and the compliance of the necessary SPPA or Transmission Code requirements. As a guide for the customer and his agents, the normal lead-times for the various events are listed on the following page. Depending on the progress and completion time of precedent events, the actual completion dates of events leading to the energisation of the service connection may need to be reviewed and adjusted.

Implementation of connection work shall only be effected upon the payment of service connection charge and execution of the Connection Agreement by the customer.
For connection by underground cable, SPPG will have to seek road opening approval from the relevant authorities before cable work can commence. The approval process usually takes about 3 weeks. Depending on the length of cable to be installed, supply will normally be available 4 to 6 weeks from the date customer's premises is ready to receive the service cable. Energisation of service connection will normally take place within 10 weeks of handing over of substation. This lead-time may vary from case to case, depending on the customers schedule.

BASIS FOR THE SERVICE CONNECTION CHARGE
1

Service Connection Charges for Low Tension (LT) Connection All LT consumers are required to pay a one-time upfront service connection charge. These charges which vary for different load requirements are categorised depending on the provision of a substation. For larger 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 connection charge is computed based on a cost of service cable 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 individual small 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 based on similar requirements. The average global cost based on capacity is determined from past statistics. As such, this category of consumers which comprises mainly the individual landed residential owners, applying for the same applied load would pay the same standard connection charge regardless of the location of their premises from the existing LT network. Standard charges are only applicable to consumers who are connected to the shared network. The rates, which are approved by EMA, are available in the Transmission Services Rate Schedule. Standard charges are not applicable to consumers where the network created 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 would have to pay for the full connection network cost, based on user-pay principle, as they are the main beneficiaries.

Service Connection Charges for HT and EHT Connection Customers receiving HT and EHT connection shall pay the cost of the service connections to their intake equipment including cables, associated equipment and facilities to effect the connection of customers equipment to SPPAs substation/network. The service connection shall cater for single contingency. Customers requesting for additional level of contingency above single contingency are required to pay for the full cost of such provision.

Dedicated Network/Substation The customer shall pay the full cost for all associated equipment and facilities under a dedicated network/substation scheme which the network capacity is intended to serve to its development exclusively. Substation comprises land, building, electrical equipment and associated cables. Substations which serve a development or premises have to be provided and paid for by the developer or customer. As the capacity of electrical equipment is lumpy, the substations may have excess capacity. The developer or customer will carry the cost of this excess capacity which cannot be avoided. As these substations are required to serve the development or customer loads, they are dedicated substations. To reduce cost, a developer or customer can choose to let SPPA bear the cost of the electrical equipment and associated cables. In return, SPPA must therefore be allowed to sell off the excess capacity. Even after the excess capacity is sold off, SPPA remains committed to return the capacity to the customer if his demand grows later. At present, most substations provided by developer or customer are non-dedicated substations.
