[SINGAPORE] Businesses starting or renewing their electricity contracts are facing cost pressures, with electricity retailers’ prices and tariffs rising amid supply constraints due to the war in the Middle East.

Flo Energy primarily serves commercial and industrial customers – who are typically on bespoke contracts structured around operational requirements – and small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), said its CEO Matthijs Guichelaar. (*see amendment note)
