香港電灯、5月の燃料調整費を値下げ 将来的な大幅引き上げを警告

香港電灯(HK Electric)は5月の燃料調整費を値下げすると発表した。2カ月連続の引き下げとなるが、中東情勢の影響により年内後半には大幅な値上がりの可能性があると警告している。5月の燃料調整費は1キロワット時あたり4.4香港セント引き下げられ、26香港セントとなる。

香港電灯は金曜日、5月の燃料調整費を1キロワット時あたり4.4香港セント引き下げ、26香港セントにすると発表した。この値下げは月次調整メカニズムに基づき1月の平均燃料コストを反映したもので、2カ月連続の引き下げとなる。

同社は「地政学的動向を受けて3月以降、国際的な燃料価格は急騰している。しかし、今年最初の2カ月間に記録された比較的低い燃料コストに加え、中東情勢に対応した燃料構成の調整や供給体制の変更が、顧客にとって一定の緩衝材となった」と説明した。

香港電灯は香港島と南丫島(ラマ島)に電力を供給しており、より規模の大きい競合他社のCLPパワー(中華電力)は九龍、新界、大嶼山(ランタオ島)に供給している。

今月初め、米国とイランは紛争を停止するための暫定合意に達した。しかし、この対立は世界のエネルギー供給に混乱をもたらしており、世界の石油供給の約20パーセントが通過するホルムズ海峡が断続的に封鎖されるなどの影響が出ている。

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.
