SINGAPORE: Electricity retailer Union Power announced on Monday (Oct 18) that it will cease 850 accounts as it reorganises its business amid \u0022sustained hikes\u0022 in wholesale energy prices. The company emphasised, however, that it is not exiting the electricity retail market in Singapore.

"The recent volatility in the global energy market has impacted the national electricity market of Singapore very significantly as local power generation relies largely on natural gas," said Union Power, which is part of the Union Energy Group.

"Base load customers usually use a minimum and continuous amount of electricity on a typical 24-hour period with little change to their requirements. By contrast, peak load is less predictable and hence, more expensive," it explained.
