Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding electricity prices in Singapore

Singapore runs an Open Electricity Market where households can buy from competing retailers or stay on the regulated tariff, which the Energy Market Authority revises every quarter in line with natural gas costs. Almost all power is generated from imported gas.

With negligible domestic renewables and heavy gas dependence, prices track global LNG markets. Air conditioning is the dominant household load in the tropical climate.

How to lower your electricity bill in Singapore

Compare Open Electricity Market plans for fixed-price or discount-off-tariff offers rather than defaulting to the regulated rate. Efficient inverter air conditioners and a slightly higher thermostat setpoint deliver the biggest savings.

At roughly $0.24 USD per kWh, electricity in Singapore sits near the global average of about $0.17 USD/kWh, with renewables supplying 3% of generation. A typical household bill runs around S$1600 per year.
