| 7.2 MANAGE EFFICIENT ENERGY CONSUMPTION |
|
|
| |
| Direct energy use |
| Direct energy use in Singapore, or our use of primary fuels, consists of
petrol and diesel for our commercial vehicle fleet, and diesel for our backup
power supply generator sets. Our total fuel use in FY2013 was 802,489 litres
compared to 910,507 litres in the previous year (diesel: 442,664 litres and
petrol: 359,825 litres). The significant decrease in fuel use was due to the
transfer of 135 vans previously under our fleet to a 3rd party in June 2012 as
part of a managed service project. |
| |
| Under our vehicle replacement programme, one company-owned van was
replaced with a Euro IV compliant model. To date, we have 111 Euro IV
compliant vehicles, representing 28% of our fleet. |

| Renewable energy initiatives |
Harnessing solar energy at Pasir Ris Telephone Exchange |
| The Grid-tied Solar Photovoltaic System at our Pasir Ris Telephone Exchange yielded 47,836 kWh in
FY2013, which is equivalent to 25 tCO2e. |
| |
| Due to renovation works at the Bukit Timah Hill Radio Station, our solar panels were sheltered from
sunlight, and therefore did not generate any supplement energy to the grid. |
| |
| We will also be installing solar panels at Seletar Satellite Station and Pulau Ubin Base Station as part
of our renewable energy initiatives. Expected to be completed by October 2014, the two projects are
estimated to generate 86,000 kWh per year, which is equivalent to 44 tCO2e. |
|
|
| |
| Electric vehicles test-bed |
| In April 2013, Singtel supported a national initiative co-led by the Land Transport Authority and
Energy Market Authority to test the use of electric vehicles in Singapore. Our electric vehicle is one
of 72 such vehicles on the roads as part of this test-bed and we also installed a charging station at
our Comcentre carpark which is open to the public. Being part of this pilot programme gives us the
opportunity to evaluate the costs and benefits of converting our vehicles to electric ones. |
