홍콩전등, 5월 연료비 조정액 인하했으나 향후 급등 경고

홍콩전등(HK Electric)은 5월 연료비 조정액을 두 달 연속 인하할 예정이나, 중동 분쟁으로 인해 올해 하반기에 상당한 상승이 있을 수 있다고 경고했다. 5월 연료비 조정액은 kWh당 4.4홍콩센트 인하된 26홍콩센트가 된다.

홍콩전등은 금요일, 5월 연료비 조정액을 kWh당 4.4홍콩센트 인하한 26홍콩센트로 조정한다고 발표했다. 월별 조정 메커니즘에 따라 1월의 평균 연료비를 반영한 이번 인하는 두 달 연속 하락세다. 회사는 "지정학적 상황으로 인해 3월 이후 국제 연료 가격이 급등했음에도 불구하고, 연초 두 달간 기록된 비교적 낮은 연료비와 중동 상황에 대응하여 수립한 연료 혼합 및 공급 조정 덕분에 고객들에게 어느 정도 완충 효과를 제공할 수 있었다"고 밝혔다. 홍콩전등은 홍콩섬과 라마섬에 전력을 공급하며, 더 큰 규모의 경쟁사인 CLP 파워는 구룡, 신계, 란타우섬에 전력을 공급한다. 이달 초 미국과 이란은 분쟁을 일시 중단하기로 합의했으나, 전 세계 석유 공급량의 약 20%가 통과하는 전략적 요충지인 호르무즈 해협이 간헐적으로 폐쇄되는 등 해당 분쟁으로 인해 전 세계 에너지 공급에 차질이 빚어지고 있다.

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.
