Students will work in pairs to help an estimated 3 to 5 households save energy. • Prizes for winning households and students. • Students will embark on energy conservation projects . Projects don’t necessarily need to be linked to the community service component. • Projects don’t have to be technical in nature. • Projects can also cover the social change aspects of energy conservation. • No requirement for projects to be implemented. Choice of pre-defined projects by YTL PowerSeraya or student’s preferred projects subject to approval. • Students undergo a 4-day workshop. • The workshop helps students to be educated in: • Sustainable development • Climate change & Energy • Behavioural change • Energy audit • Workshop starts in June 2014.

Allowances Provided REAP Students under the REAP programme will be given the following allowances: Transport Allowance Each student will be given a S$240 transport allowance to help them cover the transport costs during the household energy monitoring period (July to Oct 14). Household Allowance Each student will be entrusted with a household allowance to help the households save energy. The allowance (S$200 per household) is to be used for the purchase of energy saving fittings/devices. Note: The allowance figures above are actual numbers used in the 2013 REAP program but may be subject to slight changes in future program runs.
Students are given Freedom & Flexibility in REAP REAP • We know that you have to juggle between your studies and other commitments. So, to help you complete all 3 necessary components of the programme, we have incorporated freedom and flexibility into it! • For example… • For the community component, students are given free play to the frequency of visits to the households and the means to achieve the greatest energy savings during the 4-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) in their energy conservation.
