Where more than 5,000 units are consumed in any one month, the reducing block rate does not apply and each unit of consumption is charged at a flat rate of 37.7 HK cents (7.5 US cents), 39.3 HK cents (7.9 US cents) or 38.0 HK cents (7.6 US cents) a unit for domestic, commercial and small industrial consumers respectively.

These tariff rates are subject to a fuel clause which effects an increase or decrease of 0.01 HK cents a unit for every complete multiple of 37 cents of fuel oil costs above or below HK$700.00 (US$140.00) per ton. Some examples are shown below.
