Singapore, 30 June 2026 – For the period from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026, the electricity tariffs (before GST) for households will increase by 17.0% or 4.64 cents per kWh compared with the previous quarter due to higher energy costs. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in HDB four-room flats will increase by $17.14 (before GST).

The overall electricity tariff (before GST), including tariffs for non-households, will increase by an average of 17.5% or 4.66 cents per kWh compared with the previous quarter.
SP Group reviews the electricity tariffs every quarter based on guidelines set by the Energy Market Authority (EMA). The energy cost component of the electricity tariffs for each quarter is set using the average natural gas prices in the first two and a half months of the preceding quarter. Accordingly, the energy cost component of the electricity tariffs from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026 reflects the natural gas prices from 1 April 2026 to 15 June 2026, during which global fuel prices were very high due to the Middle East conflict.
Changes in global fuel prices take some time to be reflected in the electricity tariffs. This was the case when the electricity tariff for households for 1 April to 30 June 2026 rose by only 2.1% or 0.56 cents per kWh, as only the elevated fuel prices from 28 February (when the Middle East conflict started) to 15 March 2026 were reflected.
The situation in the Middle East remains uncertain. Should the situation improve, global fuel prices and correspondingly the electricity tariffs for the fourth quarter of 2026, may decrease.
Please refer to Appendix 1 for the components of the electricity tariff, Appendix 2 for the electricity tariffs approved by EMA, and Appendix 3 for the average monthly electricity bill for households.
