Corporate Bits | CEM to offer tariff reduction to some users

Macau’s sole electricity supplier, CEM, has announced a decrease in the Tariff Clause Adjustment (TCA) in the third quarter of 2019 for CEM’s Tariff Groups A, B and C customers. In this quarter, customers within those tariff groups will enjoy a price of MOP0.34 per kWh of electricity. This is the calculation method set forth in the concession contract. Compared with the tariff for the same groups of customers in the quarter spanning from April to June this year, the updated tariff indicates a decrease of MOP0.01 per kWh compared to the previous quarter, or a nearly 3% difference.

The public commodity supplier noted that the decrease has been made possible by flexibility within the region’s energy mix. Currently, electricity in Macau is generated in a range of ways, including by natural gas, sunlight and combined cycle gas turbine.
