At least there’s a little good news to all in today’s papers. We’ll be able to save some money on electricity bills starting in March. The quantum of the savings is yet to be announced, but it is expected to be between 5% to 10%.
Most of us tend to use quite a bit of electricity nowadays, with the need of air conditioning at home. In each home, I would imagine there to be at least 2 air conditioning units. And then there’s good old Astro to keep us glued to the TV for our favourite programs or the kids’ favourite programs, not to mention our constant need to be on the internet that requires us to power up our desktops or laptops.
So some savings from cheaper electrcity would be quite helpful in these times of economic uncertainty, pay cuts and retrenchment. Let’s all wait for the official announcement on the actual savings we will get to benefit from soon. To read today’s story about the cut on electricity tariff, read here.
