SINGAPORE’S new rules for electricity retailers to step up their hedging game to withstand market swings are set to go live from the first quarter of next year.

This comes in the wake of an unprecedented energy crisis that saw a handful of exits two years ago.

According to a spokesperson with the Energy Market Authority (EMA), the hedging rules for retailers will be implemented next year following discussions between the regulator and retailers that are expected to go on till year-end.
