The redesigned utilities bill will help Singaporeans conserve water and electricity.
Households across Singapore will now receive a redesigned utilities bill to help them track and take steps to reduce their energy and water consumption, through a joint initiative by SP Services, Energy Market Authority (EMA), the Public Utilities Board (PUB) and City Gas.
The utilities bill was redesigned with inputs from the public. The new layout allows consumers to view utility usage at a glance, compare the average consumption of neighbours living in similar housing types or streets as well as the national average, and learn how they could be more efficient in their consumption.
Highlights from the redesigned bill include a concise bill summary to easily view one’s account information, consumption graphs showing previous months’ usage and comparisons with neighbours’ and national average consumption, and personalised tips and advice on how to be more energy- and water-efficient.
Chuah Kee Heng, Managing Director of SP Services, said: “We designed the bill to help customers adopt more energy- and water-efficient habits. At a glance, they can clearly see their charges, consumption for the past five months and compare it with their efficient neighbours as well as the national average. It is one of several initiatives we have introduced to help customers make energy saving a way of life.”
In May, SP Services together with EMA and PUB launched a new mobile app to help consumers reduce energy and water consumption, lower their utilities bill and conserve the environment.
