Note

  • Each commercial business is assigned a specific kVa (kilovolt-ampere) by DES. This value determines the capacity of electricity your business can draw. We recommend purchasing a higher kVa, as it not only provides additional capacity to support your business's growth but also offers cost savings. The more kVa you purchase, the lower your tariff rate becomes, allowing for more efficient energy usage at a reduced price per unit.
  • Vacant shophouses / commercial premises using conventional meters (kWh) including CT Meters but recorded as active account will be imposed a minimum charge of B$2.00 every month unless the building owner / tenant notify to DES of his / her intent to close the account with no electrical outstanding bill prior to vacant the shophouses / premises under his / her name.
