黃錦星稱凍結明年電費是平衡多方面因素 港燈指保就業補貼用於抵銷開支
環境局局長黃錦星在立法會會議上表示,中電(00002.HK)及港燈(02638.HK)明年的淨電費將凍結在今年的水平。其中,中電明年基本電費上調1.5仙至93.7仙,燃料調整費下調2.7仙至28.1仙,淨電費維持每度電121.8仙。港燈基本電費則上調7仙至109仙,燃料調整費下調7.4仙至17.4仙,淨電費保持於每度電126.4仙。
對於政府推出的每戶2,000元電費補貼即將完結,明年是否會延續有關補貼,黃錦星沒有直接回應,但稱兩電要配合政府減碳政策,增加天然氣發電相關投資,而疫情對經濟帶來嚴峻挑戰,電費亦面臨調整壓力,凍結明年淨電費是考慮及目前社會情況等多方面因素的平衡結果。
他又稱,雖然政府每戶2,000元的電費補貼將結束,但政府仍有每月每戶補貼50元電費的計劃,而本港一般家庭每月平均電費約二百多元,補貼額已相等於電費約兩成,相信此50元補貼計劃會在未來數年持續。
另外,港燈獲政府保就業計劃補貼逾5,000萬元,港燈董事總經理尹志田稱公司獲得補貼後將款項用於抵銷開支,電費有所減低,有關補貼並不是「入公司袋」。而公司申請補貼後承諾不會裁員,亦有安定員工作用。
