As Singapore heads into the year-end season, households in the Republic will get some relief as electricity and gas tariffs for the fourth quarter of 2026 fall due to lower energy costs.
The household electricity tariff from October to December, before the goods and services tax (GST), will decrease by 10.4 per cent, SP Group announced in a media release on Wednesday (Sept 30).
This is 3.32 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) lower than the third quarter of 2026, from July to September.
Following the drop, the average monthly electricity bill for families living in HDB four-room flats is expected to decrease by $12.29 (before GST).
The overall electricity tariff (before GST), including tariffs for non-households, will decrease by an average of 10.6 per cent or 3.32 cents per kWh compared with the previous quarter.
On June 30, in the last tariff revision, SP Group had said that should the Middle East situation improve, global fuel prices and correspondingly the electricity tariffs for the fourth quarter of 2026, may decrease.
As compared to the period between April and June, when global oil prices reached as high as US$114.44 (S$146.25) on May 4, Brent crude futures had mostly stayed below the US$90 per barrel mark between June and September.
Meanwhile, the town gas tariff (before GST) for households will decrease by 2.03 cents per kWh from October to December, City Energy said in a separate statement on Wednesday.
This is 8.6 per cent lower than the previous quarter.
Tariffs could rise again next quarter
Both SP Group and City Energy have warned that electricity and gas tariffs could again rise for the next quarter due to volatility in fuel prices.
"Changes in fuel prices take some time to be reflected in the electricity tariffs. Global fuel prices have risen since September 2026 due to escalating tensions in the Middle East," said SP Group.
"Should this persists, tariffs are expected to increase for the subsequent quarter."
The two companies review their respective electricity and gas tariff on a quarterly basis, based on the Energy Market Authority's (EMA) guidelines.
The quarterly determination of regulated electricity and town gas tariffs are based on gas prices in the first 2.5 months of the previous quarter.
U-Save for households
Eligible HDB households would have received between $110 to $190 in Budget 2026 U-Save rebates . This is intended to cushion the impact of higher utility bills due to an increase in carbon tax from 2026.
In addition, eligible HDB households will also receive between $220 to $380 of GSTV—U-Save rebates across four tranches — April , July , October 2026, and January next year.
On July 29, Second Minister for Finance Jeffrey Siow announced an additional $900 million in support measures to cushion the impact of rising cost pressures amid the ongoing Middle East conflict.
This includes additional U-Save rebates — on top of the rebates announced during Budget 2026 — of between $110 and $190 in October this year and January 2027.
In total, eligible HDB households will receive between $440 to $760 in U-Save rebates.
随着新加坡进入年末，由于能源成本下降，2026 年第四季度的电费和燃气费将有所下降，新加坡的家庭将因此获得一些缓解。
新加坡能源集团周三（9月30日）在一份媒体声明中宣布，10月至12月期间，在商品和服务税（GST）征收之前，家庭用电价格将下降10.4%。
这比 2026 年第三季度（7 月至 9 月）每千瓦时 (kWh) 低 3.32 美分。
受此影响，预计居住在组屋四房式组屋的家庭平均每月电费将减少 12.29 美元（不含消费税）。
与上一季度相比，包括非居民用户在内的整体电价（不含消费税）将平均下降 10.6%，即每千瓦时下降 3.32 分。
6月30日，在上次电价调整中，新加坡能源集团曾表示，如果中东局势好转，全球燃料价格以及2026年第四季度的电价可能会相应下降。
与 4 月至 6 月期间相比，5 月 4 日全球油价一度高达每桶 114.44 美元（146.25 新元），而 6 月至 9 月期间，布伦特原油期货价格大多保持在每桶 90 美元以下。
与此同时，城市能源公司周三在一份单独的声明中表示，从10月到12月，家庭用煤气价格（不含消费税）将每千瓦时下降2.03分。
这比上一季度下降了8.6%。
关税下季度可能再次上涨
新加坡能源集团和城市能源公司均警告称，由于燃料价格波动，下一季度电力和天然气价格可能再次上涨。
新加坡石油集团表示：“燃料价格的变化需要一段时间才能反映在电价中。自2026年9月以来，由于中东紧张局势升级，全球燃料价格一直在上涨。”
“如果这种情况持续下去，预计下一季度关税将会上涨。”
这两家公司根据能源市场管理局 (EMA) 的指导方针，按季度审查各自的电力和天然气价格。
受监管的电力和城市燃气价格按季度确定，依据是上一季度前 2.5 个月的燃气价格。
家庭储蓄计划
符合资格的组屋家庭将获得2026年财政预算案中的110至190新元公用事业费回扣。此举旨在缓解因2026年碳税上调而导致的公用事业费上涨的影响。
此外，符合条件的组屋家庭还将分四期（2026 年 4 月、7 月、10 月和明年 1 月）获得 220 至 380 新元的 GSTV—U-Save 回扣。
7月29日，财政部第二部长萧正非宣布追加9亿美元的援助措施，以缓解中东冲突持续期间不断上升的成本压力带来的影响。
这包括在今年 10 月和 2027 年 1 月期间，在 2026 年预算案中宣布的退款基础上，额外发放的 U-Save 退款金额为 110 美元至 190 美元。
符合资格的组屋家庭总共将获得 440 至 760 新元的 U-Save 回扣。
