Electricity customers will see the two main suppliers move in opposite directions on the fuel-adjustment component of their October bills. HK Electric’s charge will fall by 1.4 cents to 59.3 cents per unit, while CLP’s will rise by 1.1 cents to 46.2 cents per unit.
HK Electric’s average net electricity tariff, including the basic electricity charge, will be 187.2 cents per unit for October — 0.8 per cent below September. The fuel-adjustment charge is one part of the overall tariff, so its movement does not by itself show the full change in a household’s bill.
The October charges were announced on September 25 and take effect during October 2026. An HK Electric spokesperson said the adjustment mainly reflects fuel costs from June to August because the monthly mechanism has a deferral effect.
October will also mark the end of two customer-support measures. HK Electric’s special electricity subsidy and CLP’s special fuel rebate each provided an 8-cent-per-unit reduction.
