Retailer plans, demand charges, and contract timing quietly inflate Singapore commercial and industrial bills, often by a double-digit share of the total. The line items look normal, so most businesses never notice. Here's what to look for, and how PowerSave Advisory finds and fixes it.
Two businesses on the same retailer can pay materially different effective rates depending on how their contract was structured, when it was signed, and how their load profile reads on the meter. These are the recurring patterns we see during a bill audit.
Flat rates punish seasonal businesses. Indexed plans hurt when wholesale prices spike. Time-of-use rates only pay off if you actually shift load. The right choice depends on how your meter reads through the day, week, and year, not what looked cheapest at signing.
A single 15-minute peak can set the demand charge for the entire billing period. Most invoices don't surface this in plain language, so the cost driver remains invisible until you map your half-hourly meter data against the tariff structure.
Signing a 24-month fixed plan when the market is at a peak locks in losses for two years. Conversely, going indexed during a high-volatility window exposes the business to bill swings. Timing matters more than retailers tend to admit.
