Utilities and Home Setup Anchors
These rows summarise SP Group, PUB, City Energy, and MOF figures verified as of 8 Aug 2026. They do not replace town-council-specific S&CC rate tables, retailer electricity plans, or case-by-case eligibility decisions.
Regulated household electricity tariff
| Period | Before GST | Including GST | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Jul–30 Sep 2026 | 31.91 cents/kWh | 34.78 cents/kWh | EMA-regulated SP Group tariff for households buying at the regulated rate |
Source: EMA — Buying Electricity at the Regulated Tariff, accessed 13 Aug 2026. The regulated tariff is revised quarterly; retailer fixed-price, discount-off-regulated-tariff, and time-of-use plans are separate products.
Residential electricity auto-renewal safeguard
From 19 June 2026, an auto-renewed residential electricity contract must set its rate no higher than the prevailing regulated tariff under EMA’s enhanced safeguards. This does not make every retail contract identical to the regulated tariff or remove the need to check notice and renewal terms (EMA safeguards, accessed Aug 2026).
