Electricity Tariff Revision for the Period 1 July to 30 September 2026https://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Electricity-Tariff-Revision-for-the-Period-1-July-to-30-September-2026
Media Release Electricity Tariff Revision for the Period 1 July to 30 September 2026 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. Appendix 1 BREAKDOWN OF ELECTRICITY TARIFF The electricity tariff consists of the following four components: Energy costs (paid to the generation companies): This component is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the cost of fuel and power generation. The fuel cost is the cost of imported natural gas, which is tied to oil prices by commercial contracts. The cost of power generation covers mainly the costs of operating the power stations, such as the manpower and maintenance costs, as well as the capital cost of the stations. Network costs (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the cost of transporting electricity through the power grid. Market Support Services Fee (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the costs of billing and meter reading, data management and retail market systems. Market Administration and Power System Operation Fee (paid to Energy Market Company and Power System Operator): This fee is reviewed annually to recover the costs of operating the electricity wholesale market and power system. Q3 2026 TARIFF FOR HOUSEHOLDS (before 9% GST) Appendix 2 ELECTRICITY TARIFFS FROM 1 JULY 2026 Appendix 3 AVERAGE MONTHLY ELECTRICITY BILL FOR HOUSEHOLDS TARIFF WEF 1 JULY 2026 (before GST)

News Release KidSTART Singapore new play production, Adventures with Andi, promotes reading and language development among children Presented as part of KidSTART Stories, the play brings to life Minister of State Sun Xueling’s book series “What Ants Do” to provide access to theatre arts and nurture reading interest through interactive plays for KidSTART families Singapore, 30 May 2023 - This National Family Week, KidSTART Singapore presents Adventures with Andi, a children’s play production adapted by KidSTART Early Childhood Consultant, Mdm Puspavalli Namasivayam based on the 3-book series “What Ants Do”, authored by Minister of State, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Social and Family Development Sun Xueling. An interactive play developed for the whole family, Adventures with Andi is an extension of KidSTART Stories, an initiative to support parents in the early childhood development of their children through storytelling and reading. To be staged at the School of the Arts (SOTA) Drama Theatre from 9 to 11 June, children, parents and grandparents alike can embark on an adventure through the characters to discover the meaning of home and friendship. Supported by SP Group, 2 about 450 KidSTART families will enjoy the play for free, through an immersive theatre arts experience. The families were also gifted MOS Sun’s book series which will give them the opportunity to read the book before experiencing it come to life in the theatre. Tickets are also available for the public to purchase via Sistic. The adapted screenplay for Adventures with Andi illustrates values of kindness, care and teamwork as Andi the ant embarks on a journey around the world to find the true meaning of home and friendship. The play features interactive songs and craft sessions for the whole family to participate in, offering a valuable opportunity for families to spend quality time together and foster deeper parent-child interactions, as well as hone the development of children’s language skills through storytelling and theatre. Madam Rahayu Buang, Chief Executive Officer, KidSTART Singapore said, “Experiences such as reading, storytelling and attending theatre productions are not only powerful in supporting the development of language skills and encourage imagination and creativity amongst children, they also provide an opportunity for family quality time and play, which support the holistic development of children during their early years. Following the positive feedback on KidSTART Stories last year, we are happy to extend a new play production with the support of SP Group for all families to enjoy this June school holiday. At KidSTART, we want all children to have the opportunity to grow, learn and bond with their parents. I encourage families to join us at Adventures with Andi, and eligible families to sign up for the KidSTART programme so that they can enjoy similar activities and learn together.” Minister of State, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Social and Family Development Sun Xueling said “It has been a memorable experience partnering with KidSTART Singapore to create the stage adaptation and I can’t wait for families to experience it! I hope that as part of National Family Week, families can have a meaningful and positive experience at Adventures with Andi where the children can learn about core family values such as love, care, and respect through Andi's story. By bringing the world of arts to the families, my wish is for parents to witness how we can have different dreams such as being a playwriter or an actor. If children are passionate about arts, we should celebrate their diverse talents and help them achieve their potential.” In addition to sponsoring KidSTART families to Adventures with Andi, SP Group volunteers, known as SP Heart Workers, also helped to distribute the three-part “What Ants Do” book series 3 to KidSTART families who will be attending the play. The books will expand the families’ KidSTART Stories collection at home, providing more opportunities for families to cultivate their child's interest in reading and use stories to develop their language abilities. Stanley Huang, Group CEO of SP Group, said, “We are heartened that our collaboration with KidSTART Singapore will benefit more than 6,000 children and their families, through strengthening family bonds and nurturing early childhood development and literacy. As KidSTART’s initiatives grow from strength to strength, we remain committed to helping more children from lower-income families grow holistically during their formative years. Adventures with Andi is a great example led by MOS Sun Xueling of how we can enable unique learning experiences and create memorable family moments.” Madam Rahayu adds, “We would like to thank MOS Sun Xueling for allowing KidSTART to adapt her book series into an interactive children’s play, as well as ‘Growing Together with KidSTART’ partner SP Group for their generous support towards KidSTART families. There are many ways to uplift children and Adventures with Andi is a great example of how the public, private and people sectors can work together to support KidSTART children in having a good start in life.” KidSTART mother of 4 children, Ms Teresa Christiana Katty, 34 years old shared that the family is looking forward to watching Adventures with Andi, which will be their first theatre experience. “My children and I enjoyed reading the “What Ants Do” book series received and are excited to watch the books come to life on stage at the upcoming Adventures with Andi play. It is a great way to occupy the children during the June holidays and I believe the play will teach my children about good values in a fun way. I want to thank KidSTART Singapore for providing us with such free family activities where we can enjoy family time and experience a play at the theatre for the very first time.”   KidSTART parent of six, Mdm Juliana Binte Samsudien, aged 35 also shared, “This June holidays, I am surprising my children with tickets to catch the play and believe this would be a great opportunity to develop their love for the arts and theatre. As a mother, I am always on the lookout for new experiences to help my children learn. After attending KidSTART Sea Adventures last year, I saw how they enjoyed themselves dancing to the music and characters. Till today they are still humming to the play’s tunes! I cannot wait to see their reactions when they watch Adventures with Andi.” Adventures with Andi runs from 9 to 11 June at SOTA Drama Theatre. Tickets are priced at $35 and $45 and members of the public can purchase them from Sistic. KidSTART families attend free of charge. This is the second play production by KidSTART Singapore, following the inaugural play, KidSTART Sea Adventures, in 2022.

THE STRAITS TIMES BRANDED CONTENT Making air-conditioning greener: How he's helping Singaporeans reduce their carbon footprint The centralised cooling system that he and his team at SP Group are building for Tengah new town will be 30 per cent more energy efficient, which contributes to the nation's climate goals Mr Liu Yue inside one of the thermal storage tanks in the world's largest underground district cooling network operated by SP Group PHOTO: SP GROUP PUBLISHED NOV 30, 2022, 4:00 AM SGT Mr Liu Yue has a new engineering challenge. The 38-year-old Principal Engineer is part of the team designing and building the first centralised cooling system (CCS) for a residential estate in Singapore – in the Tengah eco-town. Instead of individual compressor units mounted on aircon ledges, Mr Liu is tasked to build a centralised system which circulates chilled water to and from each flat to cool air within the flat, thus delivering air-conditioning service to 19,000 households in the estate. The first homes will be ready in 2023. “It is definitely a challenge because we have to work with many other parties to overcome the space constraints,” says Mr Liu. In his previous posting in SP Group, Mr Liu worked at an underground district cooling system that serves the Marina Bay central business district. But this time, Mr Liu has to deal with space constraints of a different kind. “In HDB flats, it’s not cost-efficient to have large underground spaces, so we have to think out of the box and find space for our cooling equipment,” Mr Liu shares. Eventually, the project team decided to place the CCS equipment on the HDB block roof, which would allow precious ground space to be used by the community. HDB flat rooftops would host the CCS equipment which service a cluster of HDB blocks. This arrangement would optimise the cooling output of the CCS equipment, achieving both energy efficiency and supply reliability. Mr Liu is proud that he plays a part in transforming the energy sector to meet climate goals.

We are helping to improve lives by the meaningful transformation of the power industry. This brings me a lot of satisfaction as an engineer,” he says. Reaping benefits from economies of scale In a CCS, a few interconnected centralised plants produce chilled water which is piped to individual households. “Colder” chilled water produced at the centralised plants is circulated to the indoor air-conditioner (known as chilled water fan coil unit or FCU) in each flat. The FCU recirculates the air within the flat and cools the air. In the process, the chilled water is “warmed” up. The warmer water is then returned to the centralised plants to be chilled again and repeat the process. Because the centralised chilled water plants are 30 per cent more energy efficient by design than individual split units found typically in households, CCS is more economical for air-conditioning of flats. Mr Liu Yue is the deputy lead for the construction of the centralised cooling system that will deliver air-conditioning service to 19,000 households in Tengah eco-town. PHOTO: SP GROUP Air-conditioned comfort with lower emissions Air-conditioning is ubiquitous in tropical Singapore. According to the Department of Statistics, about 80 per cent of Singapore households own air-conditioners, and from NEA household electricity consumption profile, air-conditioning contributes about 24 per cent of the average household electricity consumption. With rising incomes and warming temperatures, air-conditioning ownership and the use of air conditioners are set to rise. Worldwide, the use of air-conditioners results in the emission of nearly two million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year, or about 4 per cent of the global share. There is therefore an increasing need to reduce carbon footprint from more energy efficient air-conditioning systems. The reduction in electricity consumption from CCS will contribute towards Singapore’s ambitious carbon footprint reduction commitments. Singapore aims to accelerate its timeline to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, peaking emissions in 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. While Singapore’s carbon emissions represent a small percentage of the global share (0.13 per cent in 2020), Singapore’s per capita emissions are very high, about twice the global average at 12 tonnes annually. If Singaporeans can reduce their carbon emissions significantly, it would demonstrate how people can meaningfully counteract climate change without severely lowering their standard of living. Mr Liu is energised by his contribution to help Singapore meet its climate goals. “The CCS we are building will enable Tengah residents to lower their carbon footprint through an energy-efficient cooling system. Just by living in the estate, each resident has already started the sustainability journey. This is a huge motivating factor to every engineer working on the Tengah project. “We started from ground zero and had our fair share of roadblocks in the journey. With all the hard work we put in, it is very rewarding to see everything come to fruition. I am glad to be able to play a part in pioneering the most futuristic town in Singapore towards smart and sustainable living. I guess it's my way of leaving my mark – a green one,” adds Mr Liu. Energy-efficient cooling for a warming world Leading the effort for more efficient cooling systems, SP Group will be implementing various types of cooling systems in different capacities, both in commercial and residential buildings. Its flagship district cooling system in the Marina Bay CBD network will be expanding to cool 28 commercial buildings by 2026. The savings in electricity consumption is estimated to reduce about 20,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to removing 17,672 cars off the road. SP Group is establishing Singapore’s largest industrial district cooling system for STMicroelectronics at the Ang Mo Kio Technopark. By the time it is operational in 2025, it will reduce carbon emissions by up to 120,000 tonnes annually. SP Group is also constructing a distributed district cooling network in Tampines, where seven existing buildings will be retrofitted by 2025. Transitioning the world into a decarbonised future Beyond its role as the national grid operator, SP Group actively pursues sustainability initiatives as a key part of Singapore’s climate strategy. Its climate initiatives include a nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network, deploying rooftop solar energy generation, and smart electricity metering to monitor and reduce usage. SP Group has also exported these technologies to overseas markets where there is demand for sustainable energy solutions. SP Group has provided expertise to build district cooling and heating systems, smart metering and solar power generation in cities in China, Thailand and Vietnam.
