Chart of the Day: See how Singapore’s transport sector benefits from the oil rout

Both CDG and SMRT are pretty much set for the year.

Energy bills will be saved amid the sharp decline in oil and energy prices, including operators’ hedging tactics.

According to CIMB’s rough estimates, CDG could save S$30m-50m p.a. on energy bills in CY15-16 and SMRT could save S$20m-30m.

For CDG’s Singapore rail and bus operations, c.75% of the energy bill comes from diesel (bus) and c.25% from electricity (rail). For SMRT, c.70% of the energy bill comes from electricity (rail) and c.30% from diesel (bus).

CDG has historically been more active in energy price hedging than SMRT. CDG has hedged 65-70% of its FY12/15 diesel consumption and 15% of FY12/16 consumption. CDG’s electricity consumption is hedged to a lesser extent.

For SMRT, FY3/15 diesel consumption has been fully hedged and FY3/16 diesel consumption is 30% hedged.

In late 2014, SMRT entered into an electricity purchase agreement, according to which, the group will purchase electricity at a fixed favourable price (not disclosed) until Sep16.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
