SINGAPORE: The electricity tariff for households will increase by 8.6 per cent for the April to June period this year, compared with the previous quarter, said SP Group on Wednesday (Mar 31).
This increase is mainly due to the higher cost of fuel for producing electricity by the power generation companies, it added.
