環境局:政府已就電價升幅「盡做」 未來電價受不同因素影響
環境局局長黃錦星表示,政府共有兩招支援住宅戶口,包括去年財政司司長因應經濟情況,給予每戶1,000元補貼至明年5月,以及政府自2019年起連續五年,按電費紓緩計劃,向每戶提供50元電費紓緩,因此明年即使加價後,一般家庭在適當用電的情況下,電費支出仍會較平常低。
他指出,國際燃料價格上調,升幅相當大,政府已盡量去做,燃料附加費升幅/減幅對客戶是實報實銷做法,香港電費已較各大城市為低,政府理解經濟復甦中,香港需要平緩狀況,政府有既有兩招,相信對眾多住宅戶有好的紓緩作用。未來利用更多潔淨能源,會對電費支出有壓力,但需要政府、業界、兩電、市民支持。
他又指,政府以身作則,未來五年會提升整體能源表現的目標,可以節省以億元計的電費,各大機構亦參與政府新推的碳中和夥伴計劃,示範支持使用更多潔淨能源,重申低碳轉型,減碳有價。
環境局副秘書長伍江美妮表示,明年電價的調整狀況是因全球能源燃料費的特殊情況,升幅不是兩電可控制,政府已要求兩電在調整電費上,可以盡一切能力,令加幅達至平穩水平,以及顧及市民負擔能力,因此動用兩電的兩個「荷包」是必需要,而未來電費會受不同因素影響,包括燃料費、投資營運、低碳轉型,以及兩「荷包」的可動用資源等。
