Energy Efficiency National Partnership

– Free-to-join network – Share best practices, standards and case studies – Preferential course rates – About 125 companies currently – National Recognition Scheme

• Annual awards accord recognition

and strengthen companies’ branding

Awareness

Benchmarking Studies that generate Energy Efficiency (EE) ideas

– Biomedical sector (2010)

• Established best practices
• Led to set up of EE working group amongst over 10 companies
• Continuously share EE project ideas and set EE KPI

– Petrochemical sector (2011)

• Generated plant-level and system-level projects
• Concrete roadmaps for implementation
• Infrastructure planning guidelines to optimize utilities consumption

– Data centers (2012)

• Best practices e.g. for design of mechanical and electrical systems

– Upcoming: Target to conduct study for semiconductor sector

Capability Scheme Objective

Singapore Certified Energy Manager (SCEM) Training Grant Develop expertise in energy management Design for Efficiency Scheme (DfE) Incorporate energy efficiency early in the design stage, to reap long term recurrent energy savings The Singapore plant can serve as model plant to

• ther global sites

Energy Efficiency Improvement Assistance Scheme (EASe) Energy audits to discover energy efficiency

• pportunities

The Government provides significant funding support (up to 80% for some schemes). For more details, please visit www.e2singapore.gov.sg

Energy Efficiency Schemes

7 7

Objective

• Encourage investment in energy efficient equipment or technologies

Form of Assistance

• Typical funding of up to 20% of the qualifying costs, capped at $4

million per project.

Projects have a demonstrative effect

• Success stories serve as learning examples for other companies

Grant for Energy Efficient Technologies

Implementation

8 8

Objective

• To encourage manufacturers to invest in large capex EE projects

which yield significant energy savings

Form of assistance

• IA essentially offsets taxable income

Investment Allowance (IA) for Energy Efficiency

Implementation

9 9

• To help kick start EE financing eco-system for industrial sector

(comprising Energy Service Companies, financiers, end-users)

• Potential benefits to the end-user include:
• Zero upfront capital
• Project paid for by energy savings
• End-user enjoys part of energy savings
• Off-balance sheet solution (unlike loans)
• Outsourced technical risk – solution provider providers

performance guarantee

Energy Efficiency (EE) financing pilot

Case Study

• SSMC is a semiconductor

fabrication company

• Tapped on EASe scheme to

discover EE opportunities

• Info is an enabler. Installed

controller to control and maintain

• ptimal performance of the chillers

Systems on Silicon Manufacturing Co. Pte Ltd (SSMC)

Project cost S$74, 000 Annual energy savings 2,500 MWh Annual cost savings S$319,000 Payback period 0.2 years

11 11

Case Study

• Manufacturer of garments.
• Tapped on GREET to upgrade its existing air-

cooled chiller plant with a water-cooled one

• Chiller plant efficiency improved 50% from

1.59 kW/RT to 0.79 kW/RT.

• Annual energy cost savings of $93,000, which is

about 20% of Bodynits’s annual energy cost.

Bodynits International Pte Ltd (Bodynits)
