[h=1]Electricity tariffs to increase 7.5% starting tomorrow[/h]admin / 18 hours ago June 30, 2015


Singapore’s state-owned electricity monopoly Singapore Power (SP) Services announced today that electricity tariffs will increase by 7.5% starting tomorrow (July 1). The new tariff rate will increase 1.54 cents/kWh from 20.87 cents/kWh to 22.41 cents/kWh.

SP Services said the new rate will be revised in the next quarter after September 30, and claimed that the 7.4% price raise is due to a 15.1% price increase in the cost of natural gas, based on a quarterly guideline set by the Energy Market Authority.

The average monthly electricity bill for a family living in a three-room HDB flat may go up by $4.46 as the 7.4% increase hits all households types from one-room flat to bungalow.
Below is the list of price hikes since the last General Election:

SG50 celebration. HUAT AH !

Ironically, it may be due to the splurging on SG50-related crap (e.g. SEA Games, Aussie BBQ) that requires the pappies to double up on extractive measures to recoup the money.

What is surprising is that they couldn't have at least waited till after the election to do so, adhering to historical trends. :wink:

The election is more than a year away! There is always time for a tariffs to fall perhaps 2.5 percent before that in addition to some other goodies.

Guys come on, they have to protect the ROI of their privatised utilities assets. Or CPF might not be able to cash out their SGS bonds.

They will eventually have to run road because of too many questionable policies that have made them wealthy. I predict that by that time, any future opposition that takes over the gov't will have to clean up the mess.
This happened in the Philippines when Marcos left. The Philippines has not yet recovered & maybe that is why we have filipinos trying to take over Spore.
