Regulation 8
of Energy Conservation (Energy Management Practices for Transport Facility Operators) Regulations 2013
Regulation 8
Periodic reporting of energy use
Subregulation 1
A transport facility operator shall submit an energy use report by 30th June of each calendar year, which shall cover each business activity under the operational control of the transport facility operator.
Subregulation 2
The report shall be prepared and reviewed by the energy manager, and endorsed by the chief executive, of the transport facility operator, and shall be submitted by the energy manager using the electronic service provided at http://www.nea.gov.sg.
Subregulation 3
The energy use report shall be made —
using the relevant form provided in the electronic service provided at http://www.nea.gov.sg; and
in the manner specified by the appropriate sector regulator.
Subregulation 4
The energy use report shall contain, in respect of each relevant business activity, the following information relating to the operation of that relevant business activity during the preceding calendar year, or part thereof (if applicable) in the case of the first report submitted after registration:
if the transport facility operator has an inventory of fuel or energy commodity, the quantity of each type of fuel or energy commodity in the inventory of the transport facility operator as at 1st January and 31st December of the calendar year, and their net calorific value or energy content value, and unit of measure;
the quantity of each type of fuel or energy commodity purchased or sold, or used for the purposes of producing or providing energy, during the calendar 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;
if the transport facility operator produces any fuel or energy commodity, the quantity of each type of fuel or energy commodity produced for the purposes of producing or providing energy, and their net calorific value or energy content value, and unit of measure;
the following information in respect of each energy‑consuming system which forms part of the relevant business activity, and the aggregate energy consumption of which shall not be less than 80% of the total energy consumption of that business activity:
the type and description of the energy-consuming system; (ii)the type of fuel or energy commodity used; (iii)the quantity and unit of measure of annual energy consumption;
the quantity and unit of measure of each intended output of the energy-consuming system;
the specific energy consumption; (vi)if it is possible to predict the specific energy consumption through calculation, the predicted specific energy consumption calculated on the basis that the energy-consuming system is new and clean; and
if there is a predicted specific energy consumption referred to in sub-paragraph (vi), the ratio of the specific energy consumption to the predicted specific energy consumption;
the specific energy consumption;
the reasons for any increase or decrease in the specific energy consumption compared to that reported in the previous calendar 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 the items listed in the second and third columns of the Second Schedule corresponding to the processes or activities resulting in greenhouse gas emissions listed in the first column thereof;
if any fuel or energy commodity is used as feedstock to produce products containing carbon, information on the type, quantity and unit of measure of each fuel or energy commodity used as feedstock to produce products containing carbon;
if available, the basic process diagram or diagrams showing the energy-consuming systems which form part of the relevant business activity, and the general process and energy flow; and
such other information or document as may be required by the appropriate sector regulator.
Subregulation 5
The energy use report shall contain, in respect of every business activity under the operational control of the transport facility operator that is not a relevant business activity, the following information relating 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:
the estimated aggregate energy consumption as a percentage of the transport facility operator’s total energy consumption during the same period;
the estimated aggregate energy production as a percentage of the transport facility operator’s total energy production during the same period; and
the estimated aggregate greenhouse gas emissions as a percentage of the transport facility operator’s total greenhouse gas emissions during the same period.
Subregulation 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.
Subregulation 7
The appropriate sector regulator may extend the time prescribed in paragraph (1) for the submission of the report on such terms as it deems fit, if it is satisfied, on written application accompanied by supporting documents —
that the transport facility operator required to submit the report is unable to comply with the requirement due to circumstances beyond the transport facility operator’s reasonable control; or
that an extension of any such time would be otherwise appropriate having regard to the circumstances of the case.
