Households to pay 29.10 cents per kWh from 1 Oct

SP Group announced the decrease in electricity bills on Monday (30 Sept).

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.

Household and non-household electricity tariffs will drop by 2.5%

Overall, electricity tariffs for both households and non-households will drop by an average of 2.5%, or approximately 0.70 cents per kWh.

This is the second consecutive decrease in electricity bills.

The previous quarter from April to June saw a drop in electricity tariff by 0.3%, also attributed to lower energy costs.
