AS THE mercury soars, so too has energy demand and electricity prices in Singapore.
According to data from the Energy Market Company (EMC), demand for electricity surged in the week of May 7-13 to the highest weekly level since the market was established in January 2003.
The average half-hourly demand for the week rose 2.5 per cent week on week to a high of 6,597 megawatts, while supply increased by just 0.1 per cent.
