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.

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!  

If you 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$20 rebate under their limited-time Get It Fixed 12 or Get It Fixed 24 plan with Power Eco Add-on offer.

#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 31.72 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): 28.88¢/kWh including GST (S$114.43 estimated monthly bill)

  • FIXED12 (12 months): 29.68¢/kWh including GST (S$116.59 estimated monthly bill)

  • ecoGreen24 (24 months): 41.41¢/kWh including GST (S$154.71 estimated monthly bill)

  • ecoGreen12 (12 months): 41.97¢/kWh including GST (S$156.87 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.

If you are a UOB cardholder, get a chance to be rewarded with a S$30 rebate (by 31 March 2025) when you successfully make their your transaction (and subsequently set up recurring bill payments) by 28 February 2025. No promo code required to receive your rebate. Limited to the first 200 sign-ups per month, one redemption per sign-up. Promo runs from 1 October to 31 December 2024.
