Citing a typical family that uses 275 kilowatt-hour per month, HK Electric says they will pay HK$281.4 in September, HK$30.8 less than in January
Hong Kong residents will pay a smaller electricity bill in September, with some having prices cut by up to 6.7 per cent compared with January, after the city’s two power companies adjusted fuel costs in response to global geopolitical tensions.
HK Electric, which supplies electricity to users on Hong Kong and Lamma islands, said on Monday that its customers would pay a bill in September with an average net tariff per kilowatt-hour that was 6.7 per cent lower than in January.
By comparison, customers of CLP Power, which serves Kowloon, the New Territories and some outlying islands, will pay 2.4 per cent less in September than in January, after the company’s monthly fuel cost fell 7.3 per cent to 42.9 HK cents (5 US cents) per kWh, according to its website.
CLP supplies electricity to more than 80 per cent of Hong Kong’s 7.5 million people.
