HK Electric reduce los cargos por combustible en mayo pero advierte de un fuerte aumento futuro

HK Electric reducirá los recargos por combustible en mayo, lo que marca la segunda caída mensual consecutiva, pero ha advertido sobre aumentos significativos más adelante este año debido al conflicto en Oriente Medio. El cargo por cláusula de combustible de mayo caerá 4.4 centavos de HK por kWh, situándose en 26 centavos de HK por kWh.

HK Electric anunció el viernes que su cargo por cláusula de combustible para mayo caerá 4.4 centavos de HK por kilovatio-hora, quedando en 26 centavos de HK por kWh. El descenso, basado en los costos medios de combustible de enero bajo el mecanismo de ajuste mensual, marca la segunda caída mensual consecutiva.

"Aunque los precios internacionales del combustible han subido drásticamente desde marzo debido a los acontecimientos geopolíticos, los costos de combustible relativamente más bajos registrados en los dos primeros meses del año, junto con los ajustes en la combinación de combustibles y los acuerdos de suministro hechos en respuesta a la situación en Oriente Medio, han proporcionado un cierto margen de maniobra para los clientes", señaló la compañía.

HK Electric suministra energía a la isla de Hong Kong y la isla Lamma, mientras que su rival más grande, CLP Power, presta servicio a Kowloon, los Nuevos Territorios y la isla Lantau.

A principios de este mes, Estados Unidos e Irán alcanzaron un acuerdo temporal para detener el conflicto. Sin embargo, la disputa ha interrumpido los suministros mundiales de energía, incluyendo cierres intermitentes del estratégico estrecho de Ormuz, a través del cual transita aproximadamente el 20 por ciento del suministro mundial de petróleo.

Hong Kong authorities have been urged to review the pricing mechanism for local fuel supplies after petrol retailers were accused of swiftly raising prices as conflict erupted in the Middle East, even though the city had not yet exhausted its weeks-long stockpile. Global fuel prices have soared since the US-Israel war with Iran broke out, disrupting traffic along the Strait of Hormuz – the key waterway that handles about 20 per cent of the world’s oil shipments. The Hong Kong, China Automobile Association criticised what it described as “unfair” price increases for fuel in the city, arguing that the petrol currently on sale would have been bought before the outbreak of the conflict.
