3Q electricity tariffs lowered by 2.4%

Households living in four-room HDB flats will be given greater discounts.

"Over the last three months (1 Apr to 15 Jun 2012), the average fuel oil price dropped by 4.6% from S$136.37 to S$130.10 per barrel. This resulted in natural gas prices falling also by 4.6%, because the price of natural gas in Asia is pegged to fuel oil price," said Singapower Power in a release.

"The electricity tariff for households will decrease by 2.4% (or 0.70 cents per kWh) from 28.78 to 28.08 cents per kWh. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in four-room HDB flats will decrease by $2.69," it said, noting that the latest round of tariffs have been approved by the Energy Market Authority.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
