Can I be paid for excess solar-generated electricity sold back to the grid?

Consumers with solar PV system can be paid for excess solar-generated electricity sold back to the grid. The payment mode will depend on the contestability status and its installed capacity. For non-contestable consumers, any solar energy produced is first used to offset your own consumption during that period. 

Any excess solar energy will then be exported to the grid. You will receive payment (based on the prevailing low-tension electricity tariff minus grid charge) from SP Group by way of a credit adjustment to the monthly electricity bill. For contestable consumers, you may register via the Enhanced Central Intermediary Scheme (ECIS) to be paid the average nodal price via SP Group for the excess solar electricity sold back to the grid. 

Alternatively, you can also register with the Energy Market Company (EMC) to receive payment for excess solar electricity sold back to the grid based on the prevailing nodal prices. Visit the Solar Installation Guide section for the payment schemes available and other relevant details. For assistance, contact SP Group at powerfeedback@spgroup.com.sg  or call 1800 222 2333.
