煤氣(00003.HK)指港首季售氣量跌1.8% 年內無計劃調整煤氣費
阿思達克 06-02 14:49
煤氣(00003.HK)常務董事陳永堅表示,本港首季售氣量按年跌1.8%,主要因為今年是閏年,首季較去年少一天,撇除有關因素,售氣量只是微跌0.7%,相信可能與天氣有關。期內新客戶增加6,400戶。

陳永堅指,由於疫情關係,不少商業活動、酒店、旅游及大型餐飲活動未能恢復,導致工商業用氣量下跌。另一邊廂,居民用氣量卻有所增加,兩者疊加後,疫情對公司造成的實際影響輕微,反映公司面對經濟起伏有較大韌力。而考慮到本港經濟未完全恢復、失業率高企,以及通脹不算高,今年無計劃調整煤氣費。

內地業務方面,陳永堅指出,首季經營情況明顯改善,售氣量按年上升33%,工商業售氣量增長更達到44%。期內客戶量增加66萬戶,目前內地城市燃氣客戶已超3,200萬戶。

另外,對於政府歡迎商界提供疫苗獎勵及優惠計劃,陳永堅指,煤氣作為公共事業公司,一定會致力參與鼓勵市民接種新冠疫苗,目前正考慮不同方案,預計今個星期內公布。至於他本人亦已完成接種兩劑疫苗。

首席財務總裁何漢明亦都表示,已接種首劑疫苗,短期內將接種第二劑。他亦提到,內地經濟表現理想,維持年初判斷今年煤氣及港華燃氣(01083.HK)業績會好過去年的看法。至於港華燃氣去年10月宣布向上海燃氣注資47億元人民幣,佔上海燃氣經擴大股本約25%,他預計政府的審批工作將於月內完成。
