Our electricity usage has been recalculated to include our
rented offices, base stations and the MDF rooms. This has been
retrospectively applied to cover the period FY2010 to FY2012 to
ensure comparisons are made on a consistent basis throughout
this report.
Overall, Singtel consumed 340.8 GWh in FY2012 compared to
344.6 GWh in the previous year, representing a marginal decrease of
1.1%. We have also provided information on energy usage by operation
for the first time. The majority of our usage comes from networks3,
with 53% of total energy use.

Singtel’s direct energy use, or our use of primary fuels, consists of
petrol and diesel for our commercial vehicle fleet and diesel for our
back-up power supply generator sets in Singapore. Our total fuel
use in FY2012 was 910,507 litres (diesel: 492,903 litres, petrol:
417,605 litres), a decrease of 6.6% from the previous year.
For Singtel-owned vehicles, we have a programme to replace
existing vans with Euro IV compliant models at the end of their
normal lifecycle. No vehicles were due for replacement in FY2012.
To date, we have 138 Euro IV compliant vehicles, representing 28% of
our fleet.
All diesel vans leased from an external fleet company by our
subsidiary NCS are non-Euro IV compliant. Over the year, we have
been in discussions with our vendor and are currently reviewing
their conditions to lease Euro IV compliant vehicles. |
