粤港东江水新协议拟采用「统包扣减」 可按减少输入水量扣减水价
港府现行与广东省当局签订采用「统包总额」方式的三年期东江水供水协议将於今年年底期满。发展局向立法会提交文件,指「统包总额」方式已采用了超过十五年,社会上有要求采用「按量付费」方式,当局於2017年8月与粤方成立了工作小组,检讨付费方式。经多轮磋商後,协定大致沿用「统包总额」方式,但加入按实际东江水取水量扣减水价的可调整元素,即「统包扣减」。
文件指,未来三年(即明年至2023年)新东江水供水协议计划采用「统包扣减」方式,可按减少输入东江水量而扣减水价。在新协议下,年供水量上限8.2亿立方米维持不变,以应付香港的实际用水需要,并确保明年至2023年三年内供水的可靠程度达99%;明年至2023年的每年基本水价分别为48.86亿元、49.51亿元及50.16亿元。
另外,为纾缓香港因疫情带来财政负担,明年实际水价(在扣减了所节省的东江水水价後)将冻结在今年水平,即48.21亿元。
文件提到,粤港双方同意这机制应至少沿用到2029年,共涉及3份、每份为期3年的供水协议,按明年价格计算,在采用水价扣减机制後,估计在九年期内的最高节省金额为3.24亿元。
