SINGAPORE: Electricity tariffs will increase by an average of 1.54 cents per kWh from Jul 1 to Sep 30, a 7.5 per cent increase from the previous quarter of the year, SP Services announced in a media release on Tuesday (Jun 30).

The electricity tariff for households will be 22.41 cents per kWh for this period after the revision. SP Services attributed the increase to a 15.1 per cent rise in the cost of natural gas to generate electricity from the second quarter of 2015.

It expects the average monthly electricity bill for families living in four-room HDB flats to increase by S$6.01.

SP Services said it reviews electricity tariffs quarterly based on guidelines set by electricity industry regulator Energy Market Authority (EMA) and its latest tariffs have been approved by the authority.

when oil prices went up, they increase electricity charges citing their cost went up....

When oil prices drop, they increase electricity charges claiming their cost is not pegged to oil prices....

Yay~

if SP cares for the people, it should lower the tariffs during these hotter months than raise. Opportunistic.

in view of the extreme temperatures, more electricity usage is more of a necessity than a luxury need.
