How long does it take to open an account with SP utilities?
How long does it take to open an account with SP Utilities? It only takes a few minutes if you complete it online. It will depend on the queue if you go to a customer support center. After that, it will take one to three days for your electricity and water to be turned on.
What is the best way to move power from one residence to another?
When it comes to water and sewer services, your new city or town will most likely be in charge. Contact your city’s public utilities office a few weeks ahead of time to schedule the service to begin on closing day (or moving day, if you’re renting). If you’re moving to a new city with a new water/sewer service, get an approximate estimate from your real estate agent and the previous owners. Water costs vary by city and region, so don’t assume that water and sewage will cost the same as they did in your previous home for budgeting purposes.
When you move, what happens to your utilities?
When you move, you must notify your gas, electricity, and water providers that you will be leaving your current residence. Following that, you’ll receive a final bill based on the final meter readings (remember to give your suppliers your new address so they can send this out).
What is the procedure for registering for SP utilities?
We must first register an SP Utilities Account for our new property in Singapore before we can move in. This must be completed in order for your home to have access to water, electricity, and natural gas.
Because each account is associated with a unique name and address, you must create a new account for each residence that you intend to occupy, even if you already have an SP utility account. It is not possible to transfer your utility account. As a result, you won’t be able to simply move it from your old home to your new one.
If you’re moving out of your present home and into a new one, for example, you’ll need to close your current utilities account and start a new one at your new home. You can alternatively open a new utilities account with SP first, and then close your previous utilities account when you no longer need it, depending on your living situation.
You must open an SP Utilities Account regardless of whether you use an Open Electricity Market (OEM) provider or purchase electricity from SP. This is due to the fact that SP Utilities continues to furnish and bill for water and gas.

You can register for an account online using a desktop/laptop computer or the SP Utilities App. For the purposes of this essay, we’ll walk you through the experience if you’re using a desktop or laptop.
Step 2: Provide home address details
It will immediately indicate whether your new home address is covered by City Gas when you provide the address for your new home. For example, it automatically informs me that City Gas is not available at my new location, which means I’ll have to find other ways to cook, such as utilizing an induction stove or obtaining gas cylinders from Union Gas.
Even if you have an electricity plan with an OEM provider at your current location, keep this in mind. You should still contact SP Utilities first to get your energy turned on.
Step 3: Provide personal details (via Singpass if possible)
You will be required to supply personal information. Choose Myinfo with Singpass to access information for convenience. That was the choice we made. Most of the personal information requested in Myinfo should already be filled in, making the process much easier.
Step 4: Choose an appointment date and time to open your SP Utilities account
To open your utilities account, you’ll need to pick a day and time. You may be required to attend the appointment at your location. Instead of receiving a printed statement, you can choose to receive a bill summary through email.
When I’m moving, how can I turn off the electricity?
When closing an account with your electricity or natural gas company, you should give at least five (5) business days’ notice, but we recommend giving roughly one month’s notice. You can either phone your utility to request that service be turned off and your account be closed, or you can submit the request online (if you already have an online account).
To close your account, you’ll need to supply the following information:
- Your account number for utility services
- The date on which you will be relocating
- Your final bill’s forwarding address
- For verification purposes, you may be requested for your social security number.
Final Meter Reading
Depending on your utility company, a representative may be dispatched to take a final meter reading in order to guarantee that your final bill is accurate. If you have a smart meter, though, this isn’t necessary.
Security Deposit
If you paid a security deposit for your electricity or gas service, it will be returned to you on your most recent payment (if it hasn’t already). Your security deposit will usually be applied to your final bill by most utilities. Any remaining security deposit will be sent to you at your forwarding address.
Service With an Alternate Supplier
If you get your electricity or natural gas from a different provider, you should let them know about your impending move about a month ahead of time. They should be able to move your account to your new address in most circumstances. If the provider does not provide service at your new residence, you should be allowed to cancel your plan without penalty or price. Check your plan’s terms and conditions for more information, since they may demand particular papers as proof of your relocation.
To end an account with a different supplier, call their customer care number or go to their website and supply them with the following information:
- Account number for your customers
- The date of your relocation
- Your e-mail forwarded address
