現時電力市場有幾唔健康？立即改變現狀！wwf.hk/fitelectricity

《管制計劃協議》雖然有獎賞鼓勵兩電節能，但有獎無罰，成效固然微不足道。同時，兩電無方案控制最高電力需求，以致發電機組愈起愈多，發電成本愈嚟愈貴。現時協議保證兩電有9.9%利潤，因此興建發電機組嘅所有成本必由市民攤分。
另一方面，愈嚟愈多人關注環保發電，不過原來即使有人願意投資可再生能源，例如喺大廈裝上太陽能板發電，但唔似得美國﹑德國或內地等地咁可以有機制賣電。發電卻不能賣電，回本期遙遙無期，仲邊有人肯投資可再生能源？
所以電力市場係時候要Keep Fit啦！環境局現正就《#電力市場未來發展》進行公眾諮詢，如果你同我哋一樣想有個更公平﹑更環保嘅電力市場，就請立即簽署意見書wwf.hk/fitelectricity！

How unhealthy is Hong Kong's current electricity market?

The current Scheme of Control Agreements (SCAs) claim to promote energy efficiency by providing the power companies with incentives. In reality, these incentives have minimal impact as they do not involve any penalties. At the same time, the two power companies have no peak demand reduction targets, and the two electricity companies keep on expanding their capacity to meet demand - but when more generation units are built, the cost of electricity goes up! 
As the current agreements guarantee that the two companies receive 9.9 per cent profit per year, the total cost of building new generation units will be borne by consumers.
On the other hand, more people are demanding greener electricity, but Hong Kong does not currently offer a fair price for distributed generation and grid connection like the US, Germany and mainland China do. 
This means that even if you were to put solar panels on your rooftop, you have no way to sell the electricity you generate. Interested parties have to negotiate directly with the power companies for the terms of connecting their power to the grid – a complicated process which ultimately hinders the development of renewable energy.
It's time for the electricity market to get in better shape! The government has just kicked off a three-month public consultation exercise on the future development of the electricity market. If you want a fairer, more environmentally-friendly electricity market like we do, sign this petition letter now wwf.hk/fitelectricitye!
