Frequently asked questions
About this SSOC unit and the Energy, Water & Waste occupational cluster
What carbon tax obligations apply?
Facilities emitting direct greenhouse gases above 25,000 tCO2e annually must register with NEA and pay the carbon tax under the Carbon Pricing Act.
Are there renewable energy certificate schemes?
Singapore has a renewable energy certificate (REC) market. Generation facilities can register with relevant REC registries to issue and trade certificates.
What hazardous substance controls apply?
Energy facilities handling petroleum, chemicals, or other hazardous substances need permits from NEA, SCDF, and MOM under various regulatory frameworks.
Do I need an Energy Market Authority licence?
Electricity generation, transmission, and retail require a licence from the Energy Market Authority (EMA). The exact licence class depends on the activity and capacity.
What is SSIC and why does it matter?
The Singapore Standard Industrial Classification (SSIC) is the national system for categorising business activities. It is mandatory at ACRA registration and is used by IRAS, MOM, and other government agencies for tax, licensing, statistical, and policy purposes.
Do I need to register with this SSIC code?
Every business entity registered with ACRA must select at least one SSIC code that best describes its principal economic activity. You can declare up to two codes — one primary and one secondary — via BizFile+.
