中電(00002.HK):年底與政府檢討電費 疫情對本港主要基建計劃無大影響
中電(00002.HK)公布今年上半年業績,虧轉盈賺60.1億元,集團總監及中華電力副主席阮蘇少湄在網上簡布會表示,今年上半年出現新型肺炎疫情,政府禁堂食、企業員工在家工作及學校停課等,都對本港經濟及售電量造成影響,商業售電量出現下跌,但在住宅用電量大升,加上天氣較熱增加用電量對沖下,上半年香港售電量按年僅減少1.2%。而下半年用電情況如何,需視乎天氣及疫情是否受控等因素,期望對售電量整體影響不大。
她指,集團上半年為受疫情影響商戶提供紓緩措施,包括先後兩次向餐飲、零售及酒店等受影響行業提供電費延繳,並撥款逾2,000萬元推出餐飲券支援弱勢社群及中小企餐飲行業,未來會一路檢視疫情變化及客戶需要,調整紓緩措施及計劃。
對於明年會否凍結電費,阮蘇少湄稱集團會於第四季與政府檢討電費水平,影響電費因素包括售電量、燃料價格等多方面,由於集團需按承諾增加天然氣發電比例至50%,而天然氣較煤貴,因此燃料成本會較高,但近月油價下跌,亦對天然氣價格有紓緩,因此集團會因應不同因素造成的影響,於年底與政府檢討電費價格。
另外,她提到疫情對集團在港的主要基建計劃沒有大影響,位於龍鼓灘的一台新天然氣發電機組已投運,另一台的前期準備工作亦已就緒。至於海上液化天然氣項目現時正準備前期工作,預期會於今年開始建設。
