Overview of Services

SP Services (SPS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SP Group, is the only Market Support Service Licensee (MSSL) for the electricity market in Singapore. As the MSSL, SPS provides end-to-end market support services which include supply turn-on and disconnection, billing and payment collection, metering, data management and other customer services. SPS facilitates competition in the retail electricity market by enabling consumers to switch seamlessly between buying electricity from retail licensees and at wholesale market prices, and by acting as a retailer of last resort. SPS also procures electricity on behalf of the non-contestable consumers at regulated tariffs. SPS is also the billing agent to certain retail licensees and other utilities principals such as PUB, City Energy and refuse vendors, some of whom appoint SPS for metering and other customer services.

Understanding The Tariff

Electricity tariffs are regulated by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) of Singapore and revised quarterly to reflect the actual cost of electricity. SP Services buys electricity on behalf of customers and pays the generation companies, transmission licensee and other market players based on the rates of the cost components as approved by EMA.

There are four main cost components in the electricity tariff. They are:-

Q3 2022 Electricity Tariff (before GST)

Market Administration and Power System Operation Fee (paid to Energy Market Company and Power System Operator). This fee is reviewed annually to recover the costs of operating the electricity wholesale market and power system.

Market Support Services Fee (Paid to SP Services). This fee is reviewed annually. This is to recover the costs of billing and meter reading, data management, retail market systems as well as for market development initiatives.

Network Cost (Paid to SP PowerAssets). This fee is reviewed annually. This is to recover the cost of transporting electricity through the power grid.

Energy Cost (paid to the generation companies). This component is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the cost of fuel and power generation. The fuel cost is the cost of imported natural gas, which is tied to oil prices by commercial contracts. The cost of power generation covers mainly the costs of operating the power stations, such as the manpower and maintenance costs, as well as the capital cost of the stations.
