Renewable Energy Certificates and associated scheme mechanics [Postpone]

This workshop provides attendees with a broad understanding of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), how they are being used around the world to drive investment in renewable energy, and how a robust REC-based scheme could be used in Singapore to increase investment in renewable energy.

Course Objective

• Understand the fundamentals of registering, selling, settling (surrendering) and tracking RECs
• Understand different international approaches to driving investment in renewable energy through the creation and monetisation of RECs, including policy design considerations
• Know who the 'buyer' of RECs is under different policy designs
• Be familiar with different mechanisms that can be used to ensure the quality of RECs
• Have a basic understanding of REC market dynamics and the key factors driving supply, demand and price
• Comprehend the role (actual and potential) of RECs in the Singaporean and regional context.
