Channel NewsAsia 31 Mar 14;
SINGAPORE: Electricity tariffs will increase by an average of 0.3 per cent or 0.07 cent per kWh for the period from April 1 to June 30.
Utilities supplier SP Services says the increase is due to a 1.3 per cent rise in fuel costs, which was partially mitigated by a reduction in non-fuel costs.
For households, the electricity tariff will increase from 25.65 to 25.73 cents per kWh for April 1 to June 30.
The average monthly electricity bill for families living in four-room HDB flats will increase by S$0.26.
SP Services says it reviews the electricity tariffs quarterly based on guidelines set by the electricity industry regulator Energy Market Authority (EMA).
