Gas tariffs for households to go up from next month
-
SINGAPORE: Gas tariffs for households are set to rise again, with City Gas announcing on Thursday a 3.3-per-cent increase with effect from next month.
The tariff will be increased by 0.71 cent to 22.16 cents per kWh from May to July.
On average, households living in five-room Housing and Development Board flats will see their monthly gas bill increase by 61 cents, while those living in a one-room HDB flat will see their monthly gas bill rise by 35 cents.
The tariff increase for the coming quarter is due to higher fuel prices, said City Gas, adding that the average fuel price over the last three months has increased 9.1 per cent.
Gas tariffs are reviewed quarterly and adjusted in line with the changes in the cost of fuel for gas production. The revised gas tariffs have been approved by the Energy Market Authority.
City Gas last announced an increase in tariff in January. The tariff was raised 1.3 per cent from February to April.
City Gas supplies town gas to almost 90 per cent of residents in new HDB estates and private properties, as well as commercial and industrial operations.- TODAY
