Electricity consumption on the rise

Electricity consumption in the first half of this year has increased by 6.6% year-on-year. According to a report issued by TDM, the CEM Customer Advisory Committee chairman Vong Kok Seng attributed the increase to the surge of tourist arrivals in Macau, leading to an increase in the electricity consumption of major hotels. It is expected that there will be an increase in electricity consumption throughout the year. He said CEM has no plan to adjust the electricity tariff, noting that electricity bills in Macau have not been raised for 23 years and are relatively low compared major cities in the world.
