謝展寰:兩電透過大額電費穩定基金降低升幅 電費補貼非長遠可持續方案
環境及生態局局長謝展寰回應立法會議員提問時指,過去兩年,國際能源價格飆升,原油、天然氣及燃煤的個別市場價格增幅分別高達1倍、2倍及5倍。今年初國際燃料市場受著俄烏衝突引發的能源危機所影響,燃料價格攀升尤為急速,世界各地的電費深受影響,香港也難獨善其身。 政府在與兩電商討2023年電費調整的多輪談判中,明確要求電力公司用盡一切方法降低電價,包括降低《管制計劃協議》下的准許回報利潤及利用協議下的獎金,以紓緩電費加幅。兩電最終同意透過動用大額電費穩定基金,並且在它們各自的燃料價條款帳繼續承擔巨額負結餘,以減低來年主要源於全球燃料價格上漲的電費加幅。 政府未來會探討多項措施以穩定電價,當中包括發展多元的能源組合、提升可再生能源在發電燃料組合中所佔的比例,以及與鄰近區域合作發展或提供零碳能源和電力等。另外,當局表示,單靠政府提供電費補貼並不是一個長遠可持續的方案,亦會對公共財政構成沉重負擔,最好的應對辦法是節省電力,每單位的電費雖然免不了增加,但用電的實質支出卻可以因而維持,甚至減少。 目前兩電已按政府要求逐步以燃氣取代燃煤發電。現時發電燃料組合中,天然氣是最主要的發電燃料,佔發電燃料組合約一半,從內地輸入的核電約佔三成,其餘主要仍為燃煤。政府必須逐步增加使用零碳能源發電。就此,政府會與兩電研究加強區域合作,在周邊地區探索更多零碳能源供應,包括尋求共同投資和共同開發等機會,參與和營運鄰近香港的零碳能源項目,讓香港能增加使用清潔能源,逐步減少依賴化石燃料發電和電廠排放。
