Help1 1st Gear September 29, 2008 Share September 29, 2008 Households to see average rise of about 22% in electricity bills from Oct By Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 29 September 2008 1035 hrs SINGAPORE: Higher oil prices have pushed up electricity prices for this quarter by about a fifth. SP Services said on Monday households will see an average increase of 21.46 per cent in electricity bills, when average electricity tariffs go up by 5.38 cents per kilowatt-hour. On average, all SP Services customers will face a 21.89 per cent increase. For the period from October 1 to December 31, tariffs have been pegged to a higher "forward fuel oil price" of S$155.14 per barrel. This price is 38.06 per cent higher than the S$112.35 per barrel in this current quarter. The electricity tariff is reviewed quarterly and adjusted in line with fluctuations in the cost of electricity, and approved by the Energy Market Authority. At a news conference on Monday, the Authority's chief executive Khoo Chin Hean said that the increase is the highest so far this year. So much so for the increase by the gov on the U-Rebate thing...LPPL...as mentioned tariffs have been pegged to a higher "forward fuel oil price" of S$155.14 per barrel." what if the oil price drop during this period, r they going to refund us??? KNN trying to recoup the URebate through forecast oil price, might as well become a fortune teller... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damienic 5th Gear September 29, 2008 Share September 29, 2008 (edited) there is no justification whatsoever to use such a high forward price....when crude goes to a high of US$140-147, it only stayed up there for a brief period...wat gives them the justification to use such a high forward price?...if they use something like US$115-130, it is still more understandable, cos crude stayed at this level for quite sometime.. yeah, I knew too when erp price is down or gantry not building, there is no cause to be happy..whenever something is down, something will go up to offset the "loss" in revenues...
