What Are RECs and How Can Singapore Homeowners Earn From Them?

Renewable Energy Certificates are a secondary income stream — sold to corporations needing to demonstrate renewable energy procurement.

What Is a REC?

1 I-REC = 1 MWh of certified renewable generation. Completely separate from exported electricity — both streams are independently monetisable.

Who Buys RECs?

Corporations pursuing RE100, GRI, TCFD, or CDP reporting. Prices: S$5–S$20 per certificate. A 40 kWp GCB system (~50 I-RECs/yr): S$400–S$750/yr in passive income.
