2026 CLP Electricity Subsidies for the Underprivileged Families Programme
To support the underprivileged and alleviate their financial burdens, CLP Power will allocate HK$50 million from the CLP Community Energy Saving Fund to relaunch the CLP Electricity Subsidies for the Underprivileged Families Programme, providing electricity subsidies to about 73,000 underprivileged families and tenants of subdivided units. Electricity subsidies of HK$600 will be provided to each of the eligible households, including single elderly people and elderly couples aged 65 years or above, low-income families, and people with disabilities.
