As I said in my previous blog post, we shouldn't blame anyone for losses incurred in our investment except ourselves. Electricity tariffs to rise by 6.9% for July-September period ( from channelnewsasia.com - 29 th June 2018) This is what caught my attention and I think this will further contribute to a better bottom line of SP power …..
