How does Ohm Energy Charge?

As illustrated above, the way your electricity is charged will depend on the market rates and the additional fees monthly fee that Ohm Energy will charge for the Simply Ohm and Market Ohm plans.

Here are some fees you might want to take note of:

Third-Party Charges: Something to look out for would probably be this. While Ohm's FAQ shows a general breakdown of all the third-party charges, many of the individual costs are variables. It could fluctuate from month to month or whenever the third-parties make changes.

Alternatively, if you prefer more certainty, you can choose Ohm's all-inclusive plans - Fixed, Simply and Discount - where all third-party charges are already accounted for.

Monthly Fee: As per 14 September, the monthly fee is $10.70, but it might be adjusted.

Termination Fee: For contract plans like Fixed Ohm and Ohm Discount, the termination will incur a fee of $42.80. Non-contract plans will not be subjected to this.

The most confusing pricing plan is probably Market Ohm which charges:

1. Wholesale rates - these rates come from the Uniform Singapore Energy Price (USEP) and fluctuate every 30 min interval
2. Small monthly fee - basically like processing or custodian fees changed by Ohm which will change from time to time. Ohm will announce their upcoming changes at least 10 business days in advance
3. Third-Party Charges - All third-party charges are passed through to you and broken down in your monthly bills.

Another plan that is subject to change would be the Simply Ohm plan. The electricity rate ($/kWh) and monthly fee ($) of it may be changed by Ohm with at least 10 business days’ notice.

Smart Meter Installation: one time fee of $42.80 (inclusive of GST) for installation of the Smart Meter. For those keen on getting the most accurate meter readings, A Smart Meter measures electricity consumption every half-hourly for a more accurate daily reading.
