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。
