SP Group to issue international green energy certificates

It also fully automated its digital REC trading platform.

SP Group (SP) has been authorised as a local issuer of International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs) or tradable certificates of energy from renewables, the first in Asia Pacific, according to a press release.

Each megawatt-hour of green energy produced is recorded as one REC and uniquely numbered and tracked. It can be used for achieving renewable energy targets and for reporting consumed energy as coming from renewable sources.

SP has also fully automated the process of buying and selling RECs through its digital REC trading platform.

Launched in 2018, the platform was designed by its in-house digital engineers as a means of linking up buyers and sellers of RECs. However, SP found that sellers needed to go through many of the processes manually.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
