Open Electricity Market: Which Company has the Best Rates? How Much Can I Save in 3 Minutes?

(updated on 30 Sep 2021)

Note: The SP Group has increased the electricity tariff for this current quarter from Oct to Dec 2021 at 24.11 cents kWh (before GST). One retailer Tuas Power Supply offers a low rate of 21.03 cents kWh, which is 13% lower than the SP tariff.

The question on everybody's lips is: how much can I really save when I switch my electricity supply from the current SP Group to any of the 11 licensed electricity retailers?

The Facts First
The Energy Market Authority (EMA) has, since April 2017, been progressively opening up the retail electricity market, referred to as the Open Electricity Market (OEM). The purpose is to bring about competitive pricing for the benefit of all consumers. NOW THE WHOLE SINGAPORE IS OPEN.

From 1 May 2019 onwards, everyone is eligible to switch as the market is now fully opened for all.

Reason To Switch: Save Money

You save guaranteed and confirmed 16% if you opt for the Discount over Tariff, which gives 16% off whatever rates you are paying now. We have such plans ranging from 12 months to 36 months.

Even if you go for the fixed price plan, you also can save 13% over the current rates under the SP Group. Tuas Power Supply offers a fixed rate of 21.03 cents kWh for plans ranging from 2 years to 3 years. This gives you a saving of 13% off the SP rate of 24.11 cents. All the rates here are before GST.

How much can you save?

If your monthly electricity bill is $150 you get to save $20 a month or $240 a year. Over a 3-year period, you get to save $700. All it takes is just 3 minutes!

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
