Singapore, 30 December 2021 – For the period from 1 January to 31 March 2022, electricity tariff (before 7% GST) will increase by an average of 5.6% or 1.33 cents per kWh compared with the previous quarter.
The increase this quarter is due to higher fuel costs. Around 95% of Singapore’s electricity is generated using imported natural gas at prices indexed to oil prices. Over the past few months, a confluence of recovering economic activity, severe weather events, and a series of gas production outages have sent global energy market prices significantly higher. These factors have raised electricity prices in many markets.
For details on the components of the electricity tariff, please refer to Appendix 1: Breakdown of Electricity Tariff.
For households, the electricity tariff (before 7% GST) will increase from 24.11 to 25.44 cents per kWh for 1 January to 31 March 2022. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in HDB four- room flats will increase by $4.70 (before 7% GST) (Appendix 3: Average monthly electricity bills of domestic consumers).
