Press Release
25 June 2025
HK Electric announced that its Fuel Clause Charge (FCC) will be lowered to
37.1 cents per unit of electricity in July 2025, marking a 15.9% reduction from
44.1 cents in January. With this adjustment, the average net tariff which includes both the Basic Tariff and FCC, will drop by 7 cents per unit, or 4.2%, from 167 cents in January to 160 cents in July.
Taking a typical three-person household consuming 275 units of electricity a month as an example, after factoring in the Government's subsidy, the net tariff payable in July will be $293, down by $19 or 6.1% compared to around $312 in January.
A spokesperson for HK Electric stated that although international fuel prices remained generally stable in the first half of 2025, recent rapid deterioration of geopolitical tensions may introduce volatility in fuel prices during the second half of the year. HK Electric will continue its efforts to manage fuel costs responsibly.
