Trade Your Renewable Energy Certificates with PMCE

What Are Renewable Energy Certificates?

Renewable Energy Certificates, or RECs, are tradeable digital assets that quantify the amount of electricity generated from your solar panel installations. For every megawatt-hour (MWh) of green energy generated, 1 certification will be produced and can be traded for profit with MNCs worldwide on the international registry.

Why should you Sell REC?

Selling Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) allows you to monetise the green energy generated by your solar installations. By trading these certificates, you provide companies with the necessary proof to claim they are using renewable energy. You are also supporting the expansion of renewable energy by making it financially viable and appealing to investors and corporations globally.

Why Should You Buy RECs?

Purchasing energy certificates allows your business to support renewable energy generation and meet targets without directly consuming renewable energy. This also enables you to earn environmental certifications, meet regulatory requirements, and achieve corporate sustainability goals.

Additionally, choosing to buy renewable energy can act as a proactive measure to future-proof your business against fossil fuel price fluctuations or regulatory shifts towards renewable energy adoption, ensuring long-term resilience and competitiveness in a transitioning energy landscape.

How do Renewable Energy Certificates Work in Singapore?

Common Reporting Frameworks for RECs in Singapore

In Singapore, various sustainability reporting frameworks acknowledge the use of Renewable Energy Certificates:

  • Building & Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark: The Green Mark Scheme evaluates the environmental performance of buildings in Singapore, with a focus on energy efficiency and sustainability. Under this framework, RECs can contribute to meeting green energy requirements, provided they are sourced locally or contracted from within Southeast Asia.
  • RE100: RE100 is a global initiative for companies committed to 100% renewable electricity. By committing to this, organisations pledge to transition their entire electricity consumption to renewable sources by a specific target year.
  • Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP): CDP is a global platform that enables organisations to disclose their environmental data and sustainability performance to investors, customers, and stakeholders.
  • Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards: The GRI Standards provide a widely adopted framework for sustainability reporting. Companies can use RECs to report on energy consumption from renewable sources and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Singapore Exchange (SGX) Sustainability Reporting Guide: SGX mandates all listed companies to disclose ESG practices, risks, and performance. RECs serve as credible documentation of renewable energy procurement and carbon footprint reduction.

Common Challenges and Considerations in the REC Market

While Renewable Energy Certificates offer flexibility and credibility, stakeholders in Singapore should be aware of several factors:

  • Verification and Authenticity: Choosing RECs from verified sources is key to avoiding double counting or false claims.
  • Price Volatility: REC pricing may fluctuate depending on market supply, demand, and the type of renewable energy.
  • Geographical Relevance: Some frameworks value the proximity between energy generation and consumption, which may affect REC selection in Singapore.

PMCE provides expert guidance to help you navigate these complexities with confidence.

How Do RECs Benefit Stakeholders?

Renewable Energy Certificates offer meaningful benefits to every stakeholder involved:

  • Government and Regulatory Bodies: RECs support national sustainability targets by providing a transparent, market-based mechanism to track renewable energy adoption, helping enforce and encourage compliance with environmental policies and frameworks.
  • Renewable Energy Generators: RECs provide an additional revenue stream for solar and other renewable energy producers. By selling RECs, generators can monetise the environmental value of their clean energy beyond just the electricity generated.
  • REC Issuers and Registries: Issuing bodies play a key role in maintaining integrity and traceability within the REC ecosystem. They benefit from increased market participation and demand for standardised, verifiable renewable energy instruments.
  • End Users (Businesses and Organisations): For companies, RECs are a practical way to reduce their carbon footprint, meet internal ESG goals, and demonstrate environmental responsibility—especially when on-site renewable generation isn’t feasible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and carbon offsets?

While both RECs and carbon offsets contribute to sustainability goals, they serve different purposes. RECs certify the generation of renewable electricity, helping reduce Scope 2 emissions. Carbon offsets, on the other hand, compensate for emissions by funding activities like reforestation or methane capture. If you are unsure about which is right for your business, contact us to explore the best solution for your sustainabiluty strategy.

RECs must be issued and tracked through certified registries such as I-REC or local platforms like T-RECS. These systems ensure that each REC is unique, retired after use, and not double-counted, giving your organisation credible proof of renewable energy usage. At PMCE, we guide businesses through this process, ensuring expert guidance from start to finish.

RECs are usually purchased annually to align with your company’s electricity consumption and sustainability reporting cycle. However, the frequency can vary depending on your budget, business goals, or the requirements of specific green building certifications and ESG frameworks. PMCE offers customised strategies to optimise your REC procurement—learn more about our approach on our About page.

No, purchasing RECs does not affect your physical electricity supply or your existing utility provider. RECs are a separate transaction that represents the environmental benefits of renewable electricity. While your utility bill remains unchanged, owning RECs allows your business to claim the use of green energy and enhance your sustainability profile. Visit our Home page to explore how RECs fit into a broader clean energy strategy.

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are a practical short- to medium-term solution for companies aiming to reduce their carbon footprint—especially when direct access to renewable infrastructure isn’t available. As Singapore continues to expand its clean energy capabilities, businesses may consider transitioning to on-site solar or power purchase agreements (PPAs) over time. For now, RECs provide a credible and flexible path to decarbonisation. Not sure where to begin? Contact us for personalised guidance.
