CLP subsidies and support for individuals

We have various support programmes to help the elderly, families in need and underprivileged households, as well as encourage energy saving and reduce carbon emissions.

How are we helping people in need?

To show care for the elderly, we offer Concessionary Tariff for the Elderly under Residential Tariff.

You are eligible for this concessionary tariff if you are: 

  • Aged 60 and above; 
  • Living alone or with similarly qualified elderly; 
  • Relying on or entitled to Comprehensive Social Security Assistance; and 
  • A residential customer using electricity for residential purposes only. 

The concessionary tariff is based on bimonthly meter-readings.  

Benefits 

As an approved applicant, your first 400 units of electricity is charged at half-price. The half-price applies to the energy charge, Fuel Cost Adjustment, and Energy Saving Rebate under Residential Tariff.  

Also, you do not have to pay the minimum charge of HK$40 per bill. 

How to apply

You can submit your application via The Hong Kong Council of Social Service.
