For more information on the components that affect the Electricity tariff, please visit EMA or SPGroup.
As of 4th Jan, there are 13 retailers which you can switch to in the Open Electricity Market (OEM).
You blur, I also blur >.<
The purpose of this blog is to help you to filter and shortlist 2 - 3 retailers that suit you best.
Fixed or Discount Plan?
The above chart is the Electricity Tariff from 2014 till Jan 2019.
Row 2: If it is green in colour, it mean the % DROP compare to previous price (Row 4)
If it is red in colour, it mean the % INCREASE compare to previous price (Row 4)
Row 4: The Electricity Tariff from SP Group
Row 5 to 12: If the cell is green in colour, it mean Discount plan is BETTER than fixed rate plan
If the cell is red in colour, it mean Discount plan is WORST than fixed rate plan
Based on the colour cell:
- If the Discount plan is lesser than or equal to 22%, you should take FIXED plan.
- If you going to sign 12 months contract, you should take FIXED plan. Reason being Electricity tariffs are revised quarterly. Taking the highest Discount plan on the market currently (OHM 25%), for the rate to be lower than Fixed plan, the SP Group electricity tariff need to drop to 24.03 cents/kWh. That is a 5.84% drop from current 25.52 cents/kWh. Since July 2016, that would take a minimum of 2 quarters if you are lucky enough.
- If you going to sign for 24 months, you can consider either FIXED or DISCOUNT plan that is higher than 22%.
Which retailers?
Fixed 12/24 months: Even thou iSwitch have the lowest rate, but do note that they charge monthly service fees.
Fixed 18 months: Tuas Power look good for those who intent to sign up for the 24 months plan. You are been tied up for shorter contract period with comparable 24 months plan rate.
As not encouraging you to go for Discount 6mth / 12 mth plan, thus, didnt highlight in green for its lowest.
As there is no one size fit all or so call the BEST of the best retailers, you can apply some of the below filter before research indepth of each retailer.
Want to have integration SP bill: OHM, Tuas Power, Best Electricity

After you have shortlisted 2 - 3 retailers, do look out for their sign up promotion online or roadshow.
One thing for sure is you are paying more if you continue to stay put with SP Group.
