Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim

Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Minister for Trade and Industry whether the Ministry has explored the possibility of establishing a system for the individual resale of excess power produced from private sources such as that generated from home solar panel systems.

Chan Chun Sing

Households and businesses with small solar panel systems can sell their excess power into the wholesale electricity market through SP Services as an intermediary, via schemes such as the Simplified Credit Treatment (SCT) scheme or Enhanced Central Intermediary Scheme (ECIS).

Businesses with larger solar panel systems can also sell their excess power directly into the wholesale electricity market, by registering as a market participant with the Energy Market Company.
