港燈宣布五月燃料附加費下調，為連續第二個月下降，但警告年中後因中東衝突影響，成本或大幅上升。五月燃料條款收費將降至每度電26港仙。
港燈於週五宣布，五月燃料條款收費將從上月水平下調4.4港仙至每度電26港仙。此調整基於一月份平均燃料成本的遞延效應，為連續第二個月下降。
公司表示，雖然三月以來國際燃料價格因地緣政治發展急升，但年初頭兩個月較低燃料成本，加上針對中東局勢調整燃料組合及供應安排，為客戶提供一定緩衝。
港燈負責供應香港島及南丫島電力，其主要競爭對手中電則服務九龍、新界及大嶼山。
本月稍早，美國與伊朗達成暫時協議停止衝突，但爭端已擾亂全球能源供應，包括霍爾木茲海峽間歇關閉，此通道運載全球約20%石油供應。

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.

The rise coincides with surging oil prices from the US-Israel war with Iran, which has driven standard petrol prices up by 56.4 per cent. Authorities noted that illegal operators are converting vehicles into mobile refuelling points, heightening public safety risks.
