Households in Singapore can expect to pay an average of 29.10 cents per kWh (before GST), as compared to the current tariff of 29.88 cents per kWh.
This adjustment is attributed to declining energy costs and will result in an average monthly savings of $3 (before GST) for families residing in a four-room HDB flat.
Meanwhile, those staying in bungalows will see a S$16.54 decrease in their average monthly electricity bills.

This is the second consecutive decrease in electricity bills.
