Towngas customers face higher bills as tariffs set to rise 4.4% in August
The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) will increase its tariffs by 4.4% starting in August, attributing the rise to escalating operating expenses and labor costs over the last two years. This adjustment is expected to add approximately HK$320 per month for half of its commercial and industrial clients, and a maximum of HK$10 for 65% of residential customers. The company also cited the need for investment in gas supply for new developments like the Northern Metropolis, projecting capital expenditures of HK$13.1 billion for 2026 and the following five years.
