    My bill jumped just from $170 to $253.

    For that, I have to give up chiller-run marine tank.

    Wow, why is this so? So the GST rebates are also for the hike in electricity prices?
    Cheers!

    I personally think that chiller is a very waste of money. I now pay money to chill myself only.

    Possible solution might be in future when getting a house, stick tp one that is very high rise even 40sty.

    For new housing estate the roof top is no longer heaty anymore, new material to dissipate heat.

    Any available theory why they want to hike up the price? Economic reason? Policy?
    Cheers!

    Crude oil decrease & they peg electricity to forward fuel prices? Or natural gas? Or Eventually they're the same? Even CNG gases are peg to sulfur oil?

    Still don't understand the rise yet.
