One kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity.

Monthly

The period of approximately 1 month between a meter-reading (including estimations) and the next meter-reading.

Pro-rated adjustments

If the period between two successive meter-readings is outside the 25 to 35 days range, your energy charge and energy saving rebate will be pro-rated.

Your adjustment will be made as follows:

Applicable block units = Normal block units x N / 30

To qualify for the High Load Factor Rider (HLFR), your average monthly total consumption per kVA of average monthly “Maximum Billing Demand” in the preceding 12 months must be more than 500 units per kVA

HLFR lowers the energy charge for each unit over 500 units per kVA of Maximum Billing Demand in the month. The reduction in the energy charge is calculated at the following rate: 

Reduction (cents/unit)

Each of the 501 to 600 unit per kVA of Maximum Billing Demand.

Billing demand shortfall 

If your maximum total billing demand is less than 3,000 kVA, you will be charged for a billing demand shortfall. To calculate the shortfall amount, we will take the difference between: 

  • 3,000 kVA; and  
  • Your on-peak billing demand or off-peak billing demand (whichever is higher). 

The rate for billing demand shortfall is HK$120.3 per kVA short of 3,000 kVA.

This is the charge for electricity consumption. The rate varies according to time periods. Energy charges are higher during on-peak periods than off-peak periods.

Please refer to the table below for more information.
