SINGAPORE'S electricity tariff is set to rise in the second quarter due to higher energy costs arising from surging global oil and gas prices, exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine.

For the period between Apr 1 and Jun 30, the tariff (before the goods and services tax or GST) will rise by an average of 9.9 per cent or S$0.0249 per kilowatt hour (kWh) from the rate in the previous quarter, utilities company SP Group announced on Thursday (Mar 31).
