CEM announces 2nd quarter TCA subsidy

The continued fall in international oil prices resulted in the decrease in CEM’s local generation cost, thus this quarter’s Tariff Clause Adjustment (TCA) dropped slightly. According to the calculation under the concession contract, the TCA for the 2nd quarter will be 42 cents per kWh, 3 cents lower than the previous quarter.
To fulfill its corporate social responsibility, CEM announced that it will continue to offer a TCA subsidy for Tariff Group A customers (mainly residential customers and small and medium enterprises supplied with low voltage, covering more than 99% of the total number of customers), from 42 cents, the contractual calculated value, reduced to 35 cents with a 7-cent per kWh reduction. Likewise, the TCA for Tariff Group B, C and D will be decreased to 42 cents per kWh, down 3 cents per kWh comparing with the previous quarter. Benefitting from the continued fall in oil prices, local generation in the previous quarter was increased, accounting for 19.3% of the total generation, while purchase from the Macau Refuse Incineration Plant and importation from the mainland made up 4.4% and 76.3% respectively.

Galaxy and Caritas Macau hold inclusive arts workshop for people with disabilities

Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”) and Caritas Macau held the “Me and My Galaxy” Inclusive Arts Workshop for people with disabilities at the East Square of Galaxy Macau on Saturday. During the workshop, the GEG volunteer team and 40 Caritas Macau service users together created a six-meter-by-two-meter painting to foster social inclusion.
Mr. Paul Pun, Secretary General of Caritas Macau, said the workshop was meaningful as it gave their members an equal opportunity to participate in arts creation and promote social integration for all. “We are grateful that not only has GEG committed to its business, but it has also continuously assisted those in need in the community. Through interacting with the GEG volunteer team, our members have more opportunities to stay in touch with society, improve their emotional management and social recognition,” he said.
