The Singapore Standard on SS 673:2021 Code of practice for renewable energy certificates was launched on 26th October 21 at the Asia Clean Energy Summit.
With growing environmental awareness, Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) have become a common means for energy users, including businesses, to fulfil their sustainability commitments. To facilitate consistency for the transaction and management of RECs, the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore and National Environment Agency initiated the development of SS 673, which was managed by Standards Development Organisation at Singapore Chemical Industry Council . SS 673 is intended to provide a clear framework to improve the integrity of measurement, reporting and verification requirements for the issuance and management of RECs. It covers guidelines across the lifecycle of RECs – from production, tracking, management, to the usage of the certificates for renewable energy claims in Singapore. With the transparency of MRV requirements, the industry will be able to provide greater assurance on the credibility of RECs available in the marketplace.
Users of SS 673 include and installation owners, REC registries and end-users.
