SINGAPORE: SP Services said households will pay more for their electricity from April, with their electricity tariff increasing by 6.1 per cent to 25.58 cents per kilowatt-hour.
On average, families in four-room HDB flats will pay about S$4.85 more a month for their electricity based on the new tariff.
Explaining the tariff increase, SP Services said the average fuel oil price increased sharply by 14 per cent to S$113.37 per barrel over the last three months.
At the same time, there was an annual review of the grid network cost or the cost of transporting electricity through the power grid, which resulted in network charges being lowered by 3 per cent for the year ahead.
It said the significant increase in fuel cost, however, more than offsets the reduced network charges.
The Energy Market Authority has approved the increase.

so are they still going on to get hawkers to keep prices low?
look, we're at mercy of commodity prices for we're entirely import dependent.

Endless increasing. Do singaporeans love the increases to vote them in again and again ?
Logically speaking they have to endlessly increase as many bills as possible to cope with the endless increase in President's and later on the Ministers' salary.

Our government have to increase the tariffs due to rising oil prices.
If middle east unrest continues,oil prices might reach higher prices.
-
wait...
so one's gp of ppl's pay will be justified for increment
-
Why govt ask hawkers keep price steady, ownself never lead by example?
Utilities up sia... -
When oil fuel price drops they don't decrease amount charged in billing.
BUnch of greedy evils

Companies in the public sector shd work contrary to that of the private sector. People before profits; but our SP seems to think differently :)

SP though is privatised is under the ruling party. Privatisation is only a deception to ease their guilty conscience in profiteering.

when the economy is down we dont see coffee dropping back to 60cts. noodles dropping to $2.
we dont see anything going down even in recession. the only thing we see is retrenchment of workers at the lower end of the food chain.
