  1. A registered corporation shall submit an energy use report by 30 June of each year, which shall cover each business activity under the operational control of the registered corporation.

  2. The report shall be prepared and reviewed by the energy manager and endorsed by the chief executive of the registered corporation, and shall be submitted by the energy manager using the electronic service provided at https://www.edma.gov.sg.

  3. The energy use report shall be made:

    a) using the relevant form provided in the electronic service provided at https://www.edma.gov.sg; and

    b) in the manner specified by the Director-General.

  4. The energy use report shall contain, in respect of each relevant business activity, the following information relating to its operation during the preceding calendar year, or part thereof (if applicable) in the case of the first report submitted after registration:

    a) quantity of each type of fuel or energy commodity in the inventory of the corporation as at 1 January and 31 December of the calendar year, and their net calorific value or energy content value, and unit of measure;

    b) quantity of each type of fuel or energy commodity purchased or sold, or used for the purposes of producing or providing energy, during the year, and their net calorific value or energy content value, and unit of measure, but excluding any fuel or energy commodity purchased, used or stored for the purposes of an emergency standby generator;

    c) quantity of each type of fuel or energy commodity produced for purposes of producing or providing energy, and their net calorific value or energy content value, and unit of measure;

    d) in respect of energy-consuming systems forming part of the business activity, the aggregate energy consumption of which shall not be less than 80% of the total energy consumption of the business activity, the following information for each energy-consuming system:

    i) type and description of energy-consuming system;

    ii) type of fuel or energy commodity used;

    iii) quantity and unit of measure of annual energy consumption;

    iv) quantity and unit of measure of each intended output of the energy-consuming system;

    v) specific energy consumption;

    vi) predicted specific energy consumption calculated on the basis that the energy-consuming system is new and clean, if available; and

    vii) the ratio of the specific energy consumption to the predicted specific energy consumption referred to in sub-paragraph (vi), if available;

     

    e) specific energy consumption;

    f) reasons for increase or decrease in specific energy consumption compared to that reported in the previous year to the extent necessary for a reasonable understanding of the significant factors that affected the energy efficiency of the business activity;

    g) information relating to items listed in the second and third columns of the Second Schedule of Energy Conservation (Energy Management Practices) Regulations 2013 in respect of the processes or activities resulting in greenhouse gas emissions as listed in the first column thereof;

    i) basic process diagram(s) showing the energy-consuming systems and the general process and energy flow; and

    j) such other information or document as may be required by the Director-General.

  5. The energy use report shall, in respect of every other business activity under the operational control of the corporation that is not a relevant business activity, state the following in relation to the operation of all such business activities during the preceding calendar year, or part thereof (if applicable) in the case of the first report submitted after registration:

    a) the estimated aggregate energy consumption as a percentage of the corporation's total energy consumption during the same period;

    b) the estimated aggregate energy production as a percentage of the corporation's total energy production during the same period; and

    c) the estimated aggregate greenhouse gas emissions as a percentage of the corporation's total greenhouse gas emissions during the same period.

  6. Any quantity or figure required in paragraph (4)(d)(iii) to (vi), (g) or (h) may be expressed either as a measured value or an estimated value.

  7. The Director-General may extend the time prescribed in paragraph (1) for the submission of the report on such terms as he deems fit, if he is satisfied, on written application accompanied by supporting documents:

    a) that the registered corporation required to submit the report is unable to comply with the requirement due to circumstances beyond the corporation's reasonable control; or
