Second West-East Gas Pipeline Gas Supply Agreement Approved

Dear Friends,

Subsequent to our announcement made last week on the 2013 tariff adjustment, I would like to give you another update on CLP’s latest business development – the commercial agreement to bring natural gas from the Second West-East Gas Pipeline (WEPII) to Hong Kong has recently been approved by the Executive Council of the HKSAR Government.

CLP requires new gas sources to timely replace the existing Yacheng gas field which is depleting rapidly. The new gas supply is also essential for CLP to sustain a green power generation to meet government’s increasingly stringent emissions requirement beyond 2015 and to help raise the city’s air quality. According to PetroChina, WEPII is the largest energy investment project in the history of modern China. It is one of the three new gas sources for securing Hong Kong a long term and stable gas supply as contemplated under the Memorandum of Understanding on energy cooperation signed between the HKSAR Government and the Central Government in 2008. Following ExCo’s approval on the Gas Supply Agreement, WEPII gas will arrive Hong Kong early next year, opening a new chapter in Hong Kong’s clean power generation history.

For more details about the WEPII project and the related gas supply agreement, please refer to the enclosed press release or visit the following website:

Thank you for your continuous support and CLP will continue to provide a safe, reliable, environmentally-friendly and reasonably priced electricity supply for Hong Kong, as we always do. May I take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Best regards,

Quince Chong

各位朋友:

繼上星期向大家解說了2013年電費調整詳情之後,我希望再告知各位另一項關於中電的最新發展──中電就引入西氣東輸二線天然氣與供氣商所簽訂的商務協議,近日已獲行政會議通過。

為解決崖城氣田行將枯竭的問題,中電必須引入替代氣源令環保的天然氣發電能得以維持,以達致香港政府訂立2015年及之後更嚴謹的排放要求,協助提升香港的空氣質素。根據中國石油的資料,西氣東輸二線(西二線)是中國近代史上最大型的能源投資項目。在2008年香港特區政府和中央政府簽署的《能源合作諒解備忘錄》中,西二線被指定為三個輸港新氣源之一,以保證香港能獲得長遠穩定的天然氣供應。在供氣協議獲行會通過後,西二線天然氣將於明年初輸港,為本港環保發電開展新一頁。

有關西二線天然氣供港項目和供氣協議的重點,請參考附上的新聞稿或瀏覽以下網址:

多謝閣下一直的支持!中電定將克盡己任繼續為香港提供安全可靠、環保和價格合理的電力供應。順祝各位聖誕及新年快樂!
