Singapore, 29 December 2023 – For the period from 1 January to 31 March 2024, the electricity tariff (before GST) for households will increase by 4.1% or 1.19 cents per kWh compared with the previous quarter.

Quarterly Household Electricity Tariff

*before GST

Singaporean households living in HDB flats will receive U-Save rebates in January 2024 to offset their utility including electricity bills, as part of the permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme and the Assurance Package, to help defray GST and provide cost-of-living support for lower- to middle-income households.

Electricity tariffs (before GST), including tariffs for non-households, will increase by an average of 4.3% or 1.18 cents per kWh compared with the previous quarter.

SP Group reviews the electricity tariffs every quarter based on guidelines set by the electricity industry regulator, Energy Market Authority (EMA).

Please refer to Appendix 1 for the components of the electricity tariff, Appendix 2 for the tariffs approved by EMA, and Appendix 3 for the average monthly electricity bills for households.
