--[Slide 1 - Introduction]--

"Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone, I'm Khoi, a member, and today I'm

going to talk about the Energy Market Authority's initiatives to facilitate solar
energy deployment in Singapore. We'll be focusing on two key initiatives: the
Enhanced Central Intermediary Scheme and the Solar Generation Profile."

--[Slide 2+3- Vocabulary Introduction]--

"Before we delve into the topic, let's familiarize ourselves with some key terms:

Firstly, the Energy Market Authority, or EMA, is Singapore's regulator for the
electricity and gas industry. The ECIS, or Enhanced Central Intermediary Scheme,
is a model introduced to support solar PV systems. The Solar Generation Profile,
known as SGP, is an alternative metering arrangement for estimating solar output..
Solar irradiance refers to the power per unit area received from the Sun. Lastly,
embedded generation refers to power plants connected to the distribution
network."

--[Slide 4 - EMA's Role in Facilitating Solar Energy Deployment]--

"EMA plays a crucial role in promoting the adoption of solar energy in Singapore.
They have streamlined processes and enhanced the market and regulatory
framework to encourage the growth of solar photovoltaic systems and other
renewable energy sources. Let's delve deeper into how they have achieved this."

--[Slide 5 - Enhanced Central Intermediary Scheme (ECIS) - Part 1]—

"The ECIS is a key initiative introduced by EMA. It allows consumers with solar
or other Intermittent Generation Sources to sell their excess electricity to the grid
through an intermediary, SP Services."

--[Slide 6 - Enhanced Central Intermediary Scheme (ECIS) - Part 2]--

"Under the ECIS, consumers are compensated based on the half-hourly wholesale
energy prices in Singapore, known as the Uniform Singapore Energy Price. This
scheme has made it financially viable for consumers to invest in solar PV systems
and contribute their excess electricity to the grid."

--[Slide 7 - Solar Generation Profile (SGP) - Part 1]--

"The SGP is another initiative by EMA. It provides an alternative metering
arrangement for estimating solar output based on the installed capacity of the solar
PV system and a standard profile determined by EMA."

--[Slide 8 - SGP for Contestable Consumers with Embedded IGS]--

"In 2018, EMA launched additional initiatives for contestable consumers with
embedded Intermittent Generation Sources. These consumers can use an estimated
solar generation output based on the SGP instead of installing a meter at each
generation point. This option applies to consumers who are selling excess
electricity to the grid or not, with a focus on solar PV installations, the most
common type of embedded IGS in Singapore. The SGP estimates the IGS
generation (kWh) based on installed capacity and historical average solar
irradiance in Singapore from 7 am to 7 pm. This has made it more convenient for
consumers to adopt solar energy. "

--[Slide 9 - Summary]--
"In summary, EMA has introduced several initiatives to facilitate solar energy
deployment in Singapore. The ECIS and SGP are two key initiatives that have
made it easier and more financially viable for consumers to adopt solar energy."

--[Slide 10 - Conclusion]--
"In conclusion, the Energy Market Authority's initiatives have significantly
contributed to the growth of solar energy in Singapore. As we move towards a
more sustainable future, these initiatives will continue to play a crucial role in
promoting the adoption of renewable energy sources."

--[Slide 11 - Q&A]--
"Thank you for your attention. I'm now open to any questions you may have."

Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well today. My name is [Your Name] and
I'm here to talk about “Green” electricity plans and Individual and Business
Contributions to Green Energy in Singapore. Before we dive into the main topic,
let's familiarize ourselves with some key terms that we'll be using throughout this
presentation.

--Slide 2: Vocabulary introductio--

These terms are central to our discussion today. 'Green electricity plans' refer to
energy plans that utilize renewable sources which include carbon neutral
electricity and clean (usually solar) energy. The former involves bundling carbon
offset credits with your electricity plan, while the latter typically represents an
investment into developing and implementing solar energy systems.
'Carbon neutral' means having a net zero carbon footprint by balancing carbon
emissions with carbon removal.
'Financial incentives' like grants and rebates are monetary benefits offered to
encourage certain actions.
'Feed-in tariffs' are fixed electricity prices that are paid to renewable energy (RE)
producers for each unit of energy produced and injected into the electricity grid.
'Streamlining regulations' means making rules and regulations more efficient and
effective, and 'Permit' is an official document giving authorization.

--Slide 3: Topic Introduction--
