Electricity tariffs to creep upwards by 0.3%

And will last until June.

According to a statement by Singapore Power, for the period from 1 Apr to 30 Jun 2014, electricity tariffs will increase by an average of 0.3% or 0.07 cent per kWh. The increase is due to a 1.3% 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 1 Apr to 30 Jun 2014. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in four-room HDB flats will increase by $0.26.

SP Services reviews the electricity tariffs quarterly based on guidelines set by the Energy Market Authority (EMA), the electricity industry regulator.

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.
