What is REAP ?
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).

REAP for Tertiary Students
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.

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

REAP
3 Components of REAP
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.

REAP
Students are given Freedom & Flexibility in REAP
• 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.
