Singapore Power
Singapore Power Group was established in 1995 as a corporatized entity to take over the electricity and gas transmission and distribution assets of the Public Utilities Board. The firm remains wholly owned by Temasek Holdings, which guides its dual mandate as the national grid operator and a growing international investor in networked energy infrastructure. The group has broadened its investment scope well beyond regulated utility assets. Its operational portfolio spans traditional grid infrastructure, a large-scale district cooling network serving the Marina Bay financial district, a portfolio of solar PV assets across China and Thailand, and Singapore's largest public electric vehicle charging network. On the deal side, its subsidiary SP Group co-invested alongside State Grid Corporation of China in the Australian gas and electricity distributor Jemena. In a notable 2022 divestment, Brookfield Asset Management acquired SP Group's stake in the listed Australian energy network AusNet Services, crystallizing significant value. HSBC Asset Management later took a strategic stake in SP's mobility business through its Energy Transition Infrastructure Fund. Headquartered in Singapore, the group owns and operates several trophy real assets that anchor its physical presence, including Labrador Tower, a mixed-use development, and the SP Group Building. The firm's community engagement is channeled through the SP Heartware Fund and the SP Kids at Heart initiative. In 2023, Stanley Huang continued to steer the group's evolution, completing the structural separation of its regulated grid functions from its competitive energy solutions and mobility businesses to attract external capital partners. SP Group occupies a rare structural position: it is simultaneously the regulated owner of Singapore's electricity grid, a testbed for Temasek's decarbonization ambitions, and a direct investor in competitive energy-infrastructure assets across Asia-Pacific. No other Southeast Asian utility holding company operates with this combination of sovereign backing, infrastructure breadth, and unbundled market-facing business lines.

Frequently asked questions
Who owns Singapore Power and how is it governed?
Singapore Power Group is 100% owned by Temasek Holdings, the Singapore sovereign wealth fund. Temasek appoints its board and sets the strategic direction, operating the group as a fully consolidated portfolio company. The group CEO, Stanley Huang, reports to this board and runs day-to-day investment and operational decisions.
How does Singapore Power source its infrastructure investment opportunities?
SP Group leverages its position as Singapore's grid operator to source energy-infrastructure opportunities, often partnering with sovereign-backed peers. Its co-investment with State Grid Corporation of China in Australia's Jemena demonstrates a channel through state-owned utility relationships. The group also transacts with large-scale asset managers — Brookfield acquired its AusNet stake in 2022, and HSBC Asset Management later invested in its mobility unit.
Does Singapore Power make only direct infrastructure investments or also partner with external funds?
SP Group primarily executes direct investments and co-investments in energy infrastructure and is also on the other side of fund relationships as a capital recipient. HSBC Asset Management's Energy Transition Infrastructure Fund took a strategic minority stake in SP's mobility business, making SP both a direct asset owner and a portfolio company for external infrastructure funds.
What geographic footprint does Singapore Power have beyond its home market?
Beyond its regulated Singapore grid operations, SP Group holds energy assets in Australia, China, and Thailand. The Australian exposure has historically included Jemena (gas and electricity distribution) and AusNet Services, which was sold to Brookfield in 2022. In China and Thailand, the group has invested in solar PV portfolios.
Is Singapore Power purely a utility, or does it operate like an asset manager?
SP Group straddles both roles. It owns and operates essential regulated electricity and gas grid infrastructure in Singapore. Since a 2023 restructuring, it has legally unbundled its competitive businesses — district cooling, EV charging, and international energy assets — which are run more like a direct infrastructure investor seeking external capital and monetization events.
How is the philanthropic work of Singapore Power structured?
Community investment runs through two dedicated vehicles: the SP Heartware Fund, which supports charitable causes and employee volunteering, and SP Kids at Heart, a program focused on underprivileged children. These are corporate social responsibility initiatives funded from group operations, not a separate private foundation structure.
What was the significance of the AusNet sale to Brookfield?
The 2022 sale of SP Group's stake in Australian-listed AusNet Services to Brookfield Asset Management represented a major liquidity event for the group, validating its model of developing infrastructure assets to the point where large-scale institutional capital seeks a controlling position. It freed up substantial balance-sheet capacity for redeployment into new energy transition investments.
