Singapore's electricity prices dropped to a 29-month low in February

It traded at a mega-discounted rate of $151/MWh.

According to the latest data released by the National Electricity Market of Singapore, the average monthly Uniform Singapore Energy Price (USEP) fell to $151/MWh in February. This is the lowest monthly level since September 2010.

After falling below the Vesting Contract Hedge Price (VCHP) in December 2012, the Uniform Singapore Energy Price (USEP) continued to trade below the VCHP in 2013.

Notably, February’s USEP at $151/MWh is the lowest monthly USEP since September 2010, and represents the largest discount from the VCHP since April 2009.

The VCHP fell from $205.52/MWh in the fourth quarter of 2012 to $194.44/MWh in the first quarter of 2013.

On 15 February, the half-hourly USEP reached an all-time low at -$10.08/MWh in Period 5. Apart from this, the USEP also traded at or below $0/MWh for a total of 15 periods on 14 and 15 February. A contributing factor for the low USEP in February was the decline in demand.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
