CLP, HKE receive approval for 2024-28 development plans

Total capital expenditures for the development plans are $52.9b for CLP, and $22.0b for HKE.

Major Hong Kong-based energy firms – CLP Power Hong Kong Limited and Castle Peak Power Company Limited (through joint partnership CLP) and The Hongkong Electric Company Limited (HKE) – have received approval for their 2024-2028 development plans and 2024 electricity tariff adjustments.

The overall estimated capital expenditures in the developments are $52.9b for CLP, and $22.0b for HKE, lower than the current 2018-23 development plans, due to less investment placed in generation projects and more towards the transmission and distribution (T&D) systems.

Such development plans will aid the containment of local generation as efforts for a cleaner energy transition and imports push forth. The larger investment in T&D goes to the maintenance of energy supply for the growing demand in Hong Kong and its other development areas.

In addition, the approved 2024 Electricity Tariff Review will serve under its 2024-28 Development Plans. Both CLP and HKE will add to the 2024 basic tariff: with an average of 3.1% for CLP and 4.4% for HKE. Due to the decrease of global fuel prices, the net tariff for both companies will be reduced in January 2024 by 7.4% for CLP, and 16.0% for HKE.

As a result, both companies have estimated that the annual increase in basic tariff will hit 2% to 3% in 2025 to 2028, with consideration of inflation. Meanwhile, the basic tariff under the 2024-28 development plan will hit 2.2% for CLP and 3.1% for HKE.
