Power Connect Beneficiary programme
CLP Power has earmarked HK$50 million in electricity subsidies through the CLP Power Connect Beneficiary Programme in 2022 for 50,000 eligible households, including elderly people, low-income people, disabled people, and tenants of subdivided units. A one-off extra subsidy on top of normal subsidies will be given to each household, meaning they will each receive a total of HK$1,000 in electricity subsidies to relieve their burden of daily spending.
