The electricity tariffs (before 7 percent GST) will decrease by an average of 1.2% or 0.28 cent per kWh for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2019 compared to the previous quarter.

The reason is mainly due to the lower cost of natural gas for electricity generation compared to the previous quarter, the SP Group stated in a press release on Sunday (30 December).
