Registry launched for renewable energy certificates
Platform expected to allow companies to buy and sell green energy; concept seen as new to regional market
Singapore

The platform is expected to allow companies without the ability to invest in their own solar panels or other renewable energy sources to buy green energy certificates, and those with excess green power to sell to them. But with the concept so new to the regional market, some observers question whether it will take off here.
