<It’s confirmed : Tariff hike for CLP; Not for HK Electricity>
行政會議通過兩電明年調整電費，中電電費上調約2.6%，港燈則凍結來年電費。港燈董事總經理曹棨森表示，雖然明年會增加使用天然氣發電，比例由15%增至30%，因天然氣較燃煤發電成本較高，令燃料費大幅上升，為電費帶來壓力，但為了減少市民負擔，明年會凍結電費。港燈亦會落實減排，相信可達到政府二零一零年的減排目標。
中電解釋，由於新的基本投資造成成本增加，因此要提高電費2.6%，這是十多年來首次加價。
Against the 40% gap between HK Electricity and CLP, the rise is far from being anything significant. But it’s a good, long-awaited step.
I suspect, reiterating only “suspect”, that HK Electricity may not be so easy-going. Some trade-off must be agreed on (no tariff hike, but in return you get something else). I do not think anyone should dump HK Electricity share.
