Last updated 02 January, 2024

Every spending situation is unique. SingSaver assembles the 'Best For' list, so you can decide what’s best for you.


As electricity tariff continues climbing, one can’t help but wonder if their home’s powered by one of the cheapest electricity price plans in Singapore. Find out if it’s time to make the switch. 

The regulated electricity tariff set by SP Group for 1 January – 31 March 2024 has risen, and now stands at 32.58 cents per kWh (incl. GST), from the previous quarter of 31 cents per kWh (incl. GST).

As of the time of writing, consumers are free to take their pick from a total of eight energy providers in the OEM.  

Below, we share more about the different energy providers in Singapore and their unique features. We also pit the OEM retailers against each other to find the ones offering the cheapest electricity plans. 

To ensure accuracy, we will be using a 4-room HDB flat as a sample for comparison.

#1: Geneco

Want a taste of having your home powered by an Open Electricity Market retailer? Consider Geneco’s aptly named Give Us A Try 6-month trial electricity plan. 

There are no monthly fees and no transmission loss charges. The Get It Fixed 24 plan also comes with a Price Match Guarantee. If you chance upon a lower price within seven working days of signing up, Geneco will refund you the difference for the contract period. T&Cs apply.

Geneco offers 12- and 24-month fixed-price plans. Their prices are as follows:

Electricity plan

Want something more sustainable? Simply add on Power Eco. Select your preferred percentage of Renewable Energy Certificates (REC). The costs associated with Power Eco will be added to your Base Price Plan after that.

Customising your own green add-on according to your terms has never been easier!  


#2: SP Services

SP Services is the default energy provider for households in Singapore. If you don’t make the switch to an Open Electricity Market retailer, your home will be powered by SP Services. 

SP Services sets the electricity tariff every quarter to reflect the actual cost of electricity. This tariff affects the Open Electricity Market energy providers' price plans regardless of whether they are fixed price plans, discount off regulated tariff price plans, or peak/non-peak price plans. 

Your electricity bill depends on how much electricity your household consumes. SP Services doesn’t have any special price plans for consumers to choose from.

The current electricity tariff stands at 32.58 cents/kWh including GST.

To help cope with the rising costs, we definitely recommend checking out some credit cards that earn rebates (cashback, miles, or rewards points) on your electricity bills.

#3: Keppel Electric 

Keppel Electric has four electricity plans that you can choose from, two of which allow you to reduce your carbon footprint. 

Whether you prefer to lock in your fixed rate for 24 months or 12 months, the two electricity plans are priced the same. 

  • FIXED24 (24 months): 29.79¢/kWh including GST (S$112.71 estimated monthly bill)

  • FIXED12 (12 months): 29.79¢/kWh including GST (S$112.71 estimated monthly bill)

  • ecoGreen24 (24 months): 38.88¢/kWh including GST (S$147.74 estimated monthly bill)

  • ecoGreen12 (12 months): 38.88¢/kWh including GST (S$147.74 estimated monthly bill)

Note: The estimated monthly bills per electricity plan were calculated based on a 4-room HDB household. But if a range is given, the min-max values were then calculated based on 4-room and 5-room HDB households respectively.

Want to save more on your Keppel Electric plan? Then it's probably a good idea to whip out your Citi credit card if you have one. To further capitalise on their already low rates, charge your recurring electricity bill payments to your Citi credit card and receive a S$30 rebate (Promo code: CITI30) under their limited-time Switch & Save offer.

Alternatively, receive a free S$15 gift voucher and a S$40 rebate (Promo code: CITI40) when you reduce your carbon footprint with their EcoGreen Plan. Again, all you have to do is set up a recurring bill payment with your Citi credit card, apply the promo code, and you're good to go!
