SINGAPORE : Electricity tariff will go up by an average of 2.2
cents per kilowatt (kWh) for the period July to September this
year.
SP Services says the increase is due to the higher cost of
electricity arising from higher fuel oil prices.
Electricity tariffs in Singapore are reviewed on a quarterly
basis.
The next review will be in September.
SP Services also gave an update on its Pay-As-You-Use Metering
Scheme introduced on May 16.
It says more than 350 households have signed up within the first
month of its launch.
The scheme is to help families whose electricity supply has been
disconnected to be reconnected and have their arrears paid over
time.
It also helps households better manage their electricity usage. -
