Keppel Infrastructure Partners Perennial

to Roll Out Singapore's First Sustainable Energy-as-a-Service

Concept at Perennial Business City

  • Keppel Infrastructure rolls out Singapore's first-of-its-kind sustainable energy-as-a-service concept at Perennial Business City
  • Perennial Business City is set to become the first sustainable super low energy business park in the Jurong Lake District, with the largest number of electric vehicle chargers installed in a business park development in Singapore

Singapore, 27 October 2021 - Keppel Infrastructure Holdings Pte Ltd ("Keppel Infrastructure") has partnered Perennial Holdings Private Limited ("Perennial") to roll out Singapore's first-of-its-kindEnergy-as-a-Service ("EaaS") concept at Perennial Business City at a contract sum of S$50 million. Keppel Infrastructure's sustainable EaaS concept includes the installation and operation of super-efficient chiller systems and photovoltaic solar panels, offering zero carbon electricity long-term, as well as the setting up of smart electric vehicle ("EV") charging stations, among others.

Perennial Business City, which is majority-owned and managed by Perennial, is an upcoming business park located in the Jurong Lake District, a precinct positioned as the second Central Business District of Singapore. With sustainable EaaS, Perennial Business City is set to become the first sustainable super low energy building that operates with renewable energy in the Jurong Lake District.

Measuring over 1 million square feet in total net lettable area, Perennial Business City is expected to reduce its total building energy consumption by more than 40% when it commences operations progressively from 2022, bringing value to stakeholders by providing significant energy-related cost savings and carbon abatement.

Ms Cindy Lim, Chief Executive Officer of Keppel Infrastructure said, "We are pleased to introduce our sustainable Energy-as-a-Service concept at Perennial Business City by collaborating with Perennial. EaaS is an appealing value proposition as customers, such as building or asset owners, do not need to make upfront capital investment, and instead enter into a recurring subscription and service contract for energy usage and management. By harnessing Keppel Infrastructure's suite of renewable energy, power, cooling and EV charging expertise, we are able to develop a unique energy delivery model that combines hardware, software and services aimed at maximising energy savings and users' experience. With the confluence of climate action, digitalisation, and work-live-play as a new normal, we are well-placed to roll out more EaaS offerings in Singapore and the region."

Mr Pua Seck Guan, Chief Executive Officer of Perennial, said, "Perennial Business City marks not only our first foray into the business park space but also the setting of a new benchmark as the first sustainable super low energy business park in the Jurong Lake District. We are pleased to partner Keppel Infrastructure, an established industry leader with a full suite of energy solutions, to bring our shared focus on sustainability to fruition at Perennial Business City. With our investment of over S$100 million to redevelop the property into "A Visionary City Within a City", coupled with its strategic location and extensive transportation connectivity, Perennial Business City will be the business park of choice for sustainability-minded tenants seeking scalability to support their future growth."

To accelerate the adoption of green transport, Keppel Infrastructure will assist to install 20 smart

EV charging stations at Perennial Business City - the largest number of EV chargers installed in a single business park development in Singapore to date.

Keppel Infrastructure will also design and provide a super-efficient chiller system that will substantially improve Perennial Business City's energy efficiency and put it on track to achieve the Building and Construction Authority's Green Mark Super Low Energy certification. This will translate to significant energy savings as cooling typically constitutes the biggest electrical load of a building, making up to 50% of energy usage.

In addition, Keppel Infrastructure will supply solar-generated electricity to Perennial Business City to maximise the usage of scarce renewable resources in Singapore, and reduce the business park's

net carbon footprint. More than 1,800 solar panels will be installed on the roof of Perennial Business City, generating around 1,200 MWh per year - the equivalent of powering about 300 four-room flats. The solar panels will also reduce about 500 tonnes of annual carbon emissions. This is in line with Keppel's Vision 2030, which places sustainability firmly at the core of its strategy, and reinforces Perennial's commitment to embed sustainability into its business operations.

Designed to cater to tenants from high-value industries, including infocommunications technology, biomedical sciences, fast-moving consumer goods and financial institutions, Perennial Business City provides excellent connectivity to key transport nodes such as Jurong East Mass Rapid Transit Interchange Station, which serves the North-South and East-West Lines as well as the upcoming Jurong Region Line, and the future Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub. It is directly linked to

Ng Teng Fong General Hospital and Jurong Community Hospital via an elevated pedestrian walkway. The eight-storey property also boasts significant car parking spaces.

Keppel Corporation Limited, the parent company of Keppel Infrastructure, does not expect the abovementioned development to have any material impact on its earnings per share and net tangible asset per share for the current financial year.
