3.2% cut to power prices in Q1

Electricity prices are set to fall in Singapore over the first quarter of the New Year. Wholesale provider SP Group announced on December 31 that the electricity tariff would decrease by an average of 3.2% (or 6.7 cents per kWH) for the period of January 1 to March 31. This is due to lower energy costs compared with the previous quarter, the company said.

For households, the electricity tariff (before 7% GST) will decrease from 21.43 to 20.76 cents per kWh. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in four-room HDB flats is expected to decrease by $2.39 (before 7% GST) as a result.

The revised tariffs have been approved by the industry regulator, the Energy Markets 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.
