9 The Open Electricity Market is an initiative by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) of
Singapore that allows households to enjoy more choices and flexibility when buying
electricity.

Mr Simon and his family live in a bungalow.

Their average monthly electricity consumption is 2000 kWh.
Mr Simon will be using his OABC credit card to pay for his monthly electricity bill.
He would also like to receive a paper bill each month instead of an electronic one.
As Mr Simon will be migrating to London, he intends to terminate his electricity supply at the
end of 8 months, on 30 August 2024.

Based on the above information, Mr Simon has identified three retailers that he can choose
from for his electricity supply from 1 January 2024 to 30 August 2024.
