REAP (Responsible Energy Advocates Program)

A sustainability program wholly sponsored by PowerSeraya with the aim of developing tertiary students to be energy advocates in Singapore – to raise awareness on energy conservation, to implement energy solutions for households and to engage in project work for the benefit of the wider community.

Jointly developed by PowerSeraya in partnership with NEA (National Environment Agency) and South West CDC (Community Development Council).

Draws upon the energy and passion of youths today on the issue of climate change by nurturing tertiary students to be energy advocates in raising awareness and taking action on energy conservation.

We welcome the participation of tertiary students to make this a meaningful and sustainable program that benefit not only themselves but also the community they come in contact with.

Only 30 tertiary students are selected each year to be in the REAP program.

#1 We are the 1st energy company to have an energy-related program targetted at households with South West CDC.

#3 The community service component of the REAP targets ‘above-the-line’ households that incorporates a combination of behavioural change and energy saving fittings to deliver reductions in household energy consumption.

#2 REAP is the only 3P (People-Private-Public) sustainability program, developed in partnership with NEA and South West CDC, that is centric on energy conservation and one that holistically integrates the components of education, community service and project work to benefit students as well as the community.

3 Components of REAPREAP

Students will go through 3 components to complete the REAP program.

• Students undergo 4 day workshop to be educated in sustainable development, climate change & energy, behavioural change, energy audit

• Workshop starts in Jun 12.

• Students will assist selected households in the South West district to reduce their energy consumption for a 3 month monitoring period (Jul to Sep 12). Students will work with an estimated 3 to 5 households.

• Prizes for winning households and students. • SW CDC will assist PowerSeraya to screen suitable households and facilitate

arrangements for house visits.

• Students will embark on energy conservation projects for a 3 month period (Oct to Dec 12). Projects don’t necessarily need to be linked to the community service component.

• Projects don’t have to be technical in nature. It can also cover the social change aspects of energy conservation.

• No requirement for projects to be implemented. Choice of pre-defined projects by PowerSeraya or student’s preferred projects subject to approval.

• As this is a holistic program, students need to complete all 3 components of the REAP.

• However, we do recognize that students have to juggle between their studies and other commitments and have thus incorporated some freedom and flexibility into the REAP program. For example,

• For the community component, students are give free play as to the frequency of visits to the households and the means to achieve the greatest energy savings during the 3 month energy monitoring period.

• For the project work component, students can leverage on existing school projects and modify them for the REAP. However, in the spirit of this program, students must demonstrate that their projects help the community (e.g. schools, households, businesses) on energy conservation.
