Report on CLP tariff increase incorrect
In response to press enquiries on a press report that the Government had approved China Light & Power's application for a 6.7% tariff increase, a spokesman of the Economic Services Branch said that the report was incorrect.
He confirmed that the Energy Advisory Committee met yesterday to consider China Light & Power's tariff proposal.
The Government has no comment at this stage except that China Light & Power will need to brief the Economic Services Panel of the Legislative Council if there is to be any tariff increase.
