2. General
Information
1.1 INTRODUCTION
1.1.1 SP Services Ltd (SPSL), SP PowerAssets Ltd (SPPA) and SP PowerGrid Ltd
(SPPG) are subsidiaries of Singapore Power Ltd. SPSL provides support services
for the electricity market. It receives requests for electricity service connection;
offers terms and conditions of service connection; arranges for service connection
energisation/turn-on; and collects transmission charges, security deposits and
charges for other services on behalf of SPPA. SPSL also bills customers for
consumption. SPPA is the Transmission Licensee and owner of the transmission
and distribution network. SPPG, the managing agent for and on behalf of SPPA,
develops, operates and maintains the transmission and distribution facilities.
1.1.2 The supply of electricity and electrical installation practices are governed by the
Electricity Act and its subsidiary legislation.
1.2.1 In Singapore, the customers’ load installations are connected at the following
voltages:
1.2.1.2 Distribution voltage consist of 230V, 400V, 6.6kV, 22kV (may vary within ± 6%)
6
1.2.2 The following connection schemes are provided, according to customers’ load
requirements:
1.2.2.9 66kV, 50 Hz, 3-phase, 3-wire for connection with minimum Contracted Capacity of
25,500 kW.
1.2.2.10 230kV, 50 Hz, 3-phase, 3-wire for connection with minimum Contracted Capacity
of 85,000 kW.
1.2.3 Where the customer requires a connection voltage and/or frequencies that differ
from those specified above, the customer is required to provide, install and
maintain the necessary transformation equipment.
1.4.1 Direct service connection from SPPA's LT network to the customer’s 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.
7
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.
1.5.1 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.
1.5.2 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).
1.6 METER
All meters required for measuring a customer’s 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.
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.
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
8
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 Tariffs are currently charged for low tension, high tension and extra-high tension
electricity consumption.
1.7.2 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.
The customer must open an account and place a security deposit for UOS
charges with SPSL upon application for energisation of service connection.
9
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.
1.11.2 After the disconnection of 6.6KV and 22KV where removal of service cables and
equipment are involved, the lead-time is about 1 month.
1.11.3 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.
10
Application For
Load Connection
2.1.1 Introduction
Each premises can have only one customer’s 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 SPPA‘s 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.
11
The responses are made according to the following customer categories:
- SPPG commences work only when the Agreement has been signed and
received by SPSL, together with payment of service connection charges.
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 master-
metered 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 landlord’s 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.
2.1.4.2.1 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 parcel’s owner or lessee.
2.1.4.2.2 The developer must provide the development’s 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.
2.1.4.3.1 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 Provision of Substation
2.1.5.1 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.
2.1.5.2 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.
2.1.5.3 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.
2.1.5.4 SPPG’s officers and vehicles will have full and unrestricted access to the
substation.
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 customer’s 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.
2.2.1 Consultation
2.2.1.1 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 SPPA’s requirements in a developer’s
preliminary proposal would expedite the application process at a later stage.
2.2.1.2 To initiate the connection consultation process, the customer has to submit the
Consultation Form (Appendix 2) through an LEW to SPPG.
2.2.2 Application
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.
2.2.2.3 Where the application requires the provision of an EHT substation, the customer
must adhere to the general requirements attached in Appendix 17.
2.2.3.1 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.
2.2.3.2 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.
Notes:
* The Customer is required to handover the substation 8 months prior to target date of
energisation of service connection.
15
2. Transmission
Charges
3.1.1 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.
3.1.2 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.
3.1.3 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.
3.1.4 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.
16
3.1.5 The UOS Charges are applicable for the following categories of supplies :
• Temporary Supplies
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 “Off-
peak” period for the energy supplied at each metered intake supply point.
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.
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 :
3.2.3.1.1 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.
3.2.3.1.2 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 SPPA’s 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 :
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 (¼) of the consumer’s
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 :
18
HT with 1 or 2 feeders 850 kW,
HT with 3 or more feeders 6,375 kW,
EHT 12,750 kW,
UHT 42,500 kW.
3.2.3.1.4 Upward revision of the Contracted Capacity may be allowed during the validity of
the binding period of 5 years or 1 year of the Contracted Capacity. The revised
Contracted Capacity shall in such cases commence from the first day in which it
is effective and shall apply for the remainder of the initial 5-year period or for a
minimum period of 1 year, whichever is the greater, provided SPPA is not
required to install new or additional equipment. Downward revision during such
binding periods will not be allowed.
3.2.3.1.5 A consumer whose revised contracted capacity requires SPPA to install new or
additional equipment shall be considered as receiving a new supply with a new
5-year binding period.
3.2.3.1.6 For a new development with landlord and tenants, the supply capacity required
by the landlord himself must meet the minimum values set out in paras 3.2.3.1.2
to 3.2.3.1.5 above in order for the landlord to qualify for HT, EHT or UHT
supplies.
3.2.3.1.7 For those HT, EHT or UHT consumers whose Contracted Capacity are below the
minimum values specified above before the implementation of these rates, they
may request to increase (but not decrease) their Contracted Capacity in the
manner as described above.
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.
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.
The Reactive Power Charge is a monthly charge payable in any month for the
installation's excess kVArh consumption. The excess kVArh shall be the
19
difference by which the installation's kVArh consumption drawn from the network
in that month is greater than 62% of its kWh consumption drawn from the network
in the same month.
3.2.3.5.1 The Uncontracted Capacity Charge is a monthly charge payable in any month for
the Uncontracted Capacity utilised. The Uncontracted Capacity is the capacity in
kW by which the maximum demand in kW (measured by the half-hour integration
meter) exceeds the Contracted Capacity at that metered intake supply point.
3.2.3.5.2 The Uncontracted Capacity Charge shall apply to the following HT, EHT and UHT
consumers :
3.2.3.6.1 The Uncontracted Standby Capacity Charge is a monthly charge payable in any
month for the Uncontracted Standby Capacity utilised. The Uncontracted
Standby Capacity Charge shall apply to those HT, EHT and UHT consumers with
embedded generation who opt for the Capped Capacity Scheme or Extended
Capped Capacity Scheme.
3.2.3.6.2 For Capped Capacity Scheme, the Uncontracted Standby Capacity Charge
applies in the event the demand in kW drawn from the network (measured by the
power meter) exceeds 120% of the Contracted Capacity at that metered intake
supply point for a duration of more than 10 seconds continuously.
3.2.3.6.3 For Extended Capped Capacity Scheme, the Uncontracted Standby Capacity
Charge applies in the event :
20
• the demand in kW drawn from the network exceeds 200% of the
Contracted Capacity at that metered intake supply point for a duration of
more than 10 seconds continuously.
3.2.3.6.4 For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Uncontracted Standby Capacity Charge
applies in accordance with Clauses 3.2.3.6.2 and 3.2.3.6.3 above, Uncontracted
Capacity Charge shall also be applicable for the Contracted Capacity portion
which is 20% above the customer’s declared Contracted Capacity.
3.2.4.1 Temporary Supplies apply only to LT and HT supplies for temporary civil
engineering and building construction sites. The UOS charges applicable for the
LT and HT temporary supplies shall be the same as those used for LT and HT
supplies respectively.
3.2.4.2 For temporary supplies at HT, the Contracted Capacity shall apply for a minimum
binding period of 1 year up to a maximum of 2 years. Upward revision of the
Contracted Capacity may be allowed during the validity of the binding period of
the Contracted Capacity. The revised Contracted Capacity shall in such cases
apply for a minimum period of 1 year, provided SPPA is not required to install
new or additional equipment. Downward revision during such binding period will
not be allowed. A consumer whose revised Contracted Capacity requires SPPA
to install new or additional equipment, shall be considered as receiving a new
temporary supply. The term granted for temporary connection is 2 years.
21
2. Energisation and
Turn-on Procedures
The term ‘energise’, in the case of a customer’s 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 customer’s electrical installation. This is taken care of by the LEW. The
following are arrangements needed by type of premises:
4.1.1.1 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.
4.1.1.2 The customer has to open an account with SPSL for electricity service connection
(See 4.9.2).
4.1.1.3 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.
22
4.1.2 NON-DOMESTIC PREMISES (LOAD REQUIREMENT EXCEEDING
45kVA) WHERE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS ARE PREVIOUSLY
INSPECTED AND ENERGISED
4.1.2.1 This category includes non-domestic premises (supply capacity exceeding 45kVA)
where the existing electrical installations, meters and service connections are
intact and only the supply is required to be re-energised.
4.1.2.2 The customer has to open an account with SPSL for electricity service connection
(See 4.9.2).
4.1.2.3 The customer has to apply for a licence from Energy Market Authority (EMA) to
use or operate the electrical installation through an appropriate class of licensed
electrical worker.
4.1.2.4 Upon submission of the licence, the customer is given an appointment for turn-on
of service connection. This appointment date is normally the next working day
from the date of receiving the licence. The licensed electrical worker must be
present at the premises to issue a Certificate of Compliance (COC) to SPSL
during the turn-on of electricity service connection.
4.2.1.1 The customer opens an account with SPSL, if an account has not already been
opened (See 4.9.2).
4.2.1.2 Upon completion of the electrical installation and receipt of notification from SPPG
on energisation/readiness of the service connection, the LEW books an
appointment with SPSL for inspection and turn-on of the customer’s installation.
For load below 45kVA, this is done by submitting Form CS/5 (Appendix 8) –
Application For Inspection of Electrical Installation and the Certificate of
Compliance (COC) (See 4.7.1) to Supply Application of SPSL. If the Application is
done through facsimile, Form CS/12 (Appendix 41) – Application for Electrical
Installation Inspection (up to 45kVA) is required. For load above 45kVA, this is
done by submitting the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) letter
stating the official addresses, COC, Form E (Appendix 45) – Certificate of Fitness
of Residential Unit and the as-build Single Line Drawing (SLD) to Installation
Section of SPSL.
23
4.2.2 Non-Domestic Premises
4.2.2.1.1 The customer opens an account with SPSL, if this has not already been done
(See 4.9.2).
4.2.2.1.2 Upon completion of the electrical installation and receipt of notification from
SPPG on energisation of the service connection, the LEW books an appointment
with SPSL for inspection and turn-on of the electrical installation. This is done by
submitting Form CS/5 (Appendix 8) – Application For Inspection of Electrical
Installation and the COC form (See 4.7.1) to Supply Application of SPSL. If the
Application is done through facsimile, Form CS/12 (Appendix 41) – Application
for Electrical Installation Inspection (up to 45kVA) is required.
4.2.2.2.1 The customer submits an application for an account (See 4.9.2), to SPSL if this
has not already been done, and applies for a licence from Energy Market
Authority (EMA) to use or operate an electrical installation.
4.2.2.2.2 Upon completion of the electrical installation and receipt of notification from SPPG
on the readiness of service connection, the LEW must inspect and test the
electrical installation before booking an appointment with SPSL’s Installation
Branch for the installation of meter and energisation of service connection by
SPPG. This is done by submitting a letter of confirming the readiness of the
service connection and the COC form (See 4.7.1). Alternatively, the LEW can
submit the Application for Appointment for Energisation of the Service Connection
By Fax (Appendix 23).
4.2.2.2.3 The LEW requesting for energisation of supply line has to arrange for the LEW
responsible for the operation of the electrical installation and the customer (or his
representative) to be present during the energisation.
24
4.3 BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT
4.3.3 Before booking an energisation and turn-on appointment, the LEW must ensure
the following:
4.3.3.1 Metering requirements, where applicable, have been submitted and formal
clearance has been given by SPPG’s Meter Section. All necessary meters have
been installed.
4.3.3.2 The customer’s main incoming switchgear, protection system and earthing system
have been successfully tested by an LEW. The HT metering panel has been
provided, and testing of the metering current transformers/voltage transformers
have been carried out and meters installed by Meter Section.
4.3.3.4 A utilities account has been opened, an Agreement has been signed, and a
security deposit for UOS has been paid by the customer.
4.3.3.5 A licence to use or operate the electrical installation, where applicable, has been
obtained from EMA.
4.3.3.6 For service connection at a system voltage level of 66kV and above, the final
clearance for the EHT switching procedure must be obtained from the PSO prior
to the confirmation of the first energisation date.
Notes:
(1) The EHT switching procedure must be jointly prepared and endorsed by the
LEW, who is authorised to perform EHT switching (at customer’s installation),
and SPPG’s Project Engineer.
(2) For 66kV and above, the LEW must submit the COC form to SPPG’s Project
Engineer.
25
4.3.4 Making An Appointment for Energisation Of Service Connection Direct From
SPPA’s Transmission System:
To make an appointment to turn-on electricity supply, the LEW shall submit Form
CS/5 (Appendix 8) – Application For Inspection of Electrical Installation on behalf
of the customer, and a copy of the Certificate of Compliance (COC) to request for
an inspection and turn-on to the premises. The LEW is encouraged to submit
application via:
Or drop the application into our drop-in box located in our Customer Service
Centre at the above address.
Alternatively, the LEW can submit the Application for Appointment for Energisation
of the Service Connection together with COC Form by Fax (Appendix 23) to

BASIS FOR THE SERVICE CONNECTION CHARGE
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.
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 customer’s equipment to SPPA’s
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.
3 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.

point for a duration of more than 100 seconds continuously; or
6.2 exceeds 200% of the CC at the metered intake supply point for a duration of
more than 10 seconds continuously,
in both cases, arising from a failure by the Consumer to cap the demand in kW drawn
from the Transmission System. The definition of “Uncontracted Standby Capacity” as
stated in the CCA is hereby superceded.
7 The rate of USCC shall be the prevailing rate stated in the Transmission Service Rate
Schedule. SPPA reserves the right to review the USCC rate applicable to the
Consumer from time to time, such review to be subject to EMA’s approval. The
current rate for USCC is:
7.1 5 times CC Charge for demand drawn exceeding 120% up to 200% of CC; and
8 For each Event, as defined in Item 1.1 above, the Consumer is required to submit,
within two weeks of the occurrence of the Event, a report to the Transmission Licensee
on the causes of the occurrence. The report shall also include the Consumer’s follow-
up actions to prevent similar Events from occurring.
9 The Consumer shall ensure that multiple sources of Transmission System are not
connected in parallel at any time, and that any switching between circuits is
undertaken on “black changeover” or “break before make” basis.
10 Transmission Licensee reserves the right to withdraw the ECCS from the Consumer if
the Consumer fails to comply with the terms and conditions applicable to the scheme,
and to offer only the Summation Scheme (as outlined in Clause 12.14(a) of the CCA)
to such Consumer.
11 The Consumer acknowledges and accepts that in the event of a change in scheme for
whatever reason, the Service Connection may be disconnected temporarily to facilitate
the installation of energy meters and other equipment for the purposes of the
implementation of the Summation Scheme.
