[ET Net News Agency, 16 October 2017] CLP Holdings (00002) said local sales of
electricity were 25,602 GWh for the nine months ended 30 September 2017, similar to the
same period last year.
The drop of 3.3% in sales in the Residential sector earlier this year as a result of
lower demand for heating and dehumidification had fully offset the improvement in the
Commercial and Infrastructure & Public Services sectors.
Sales to the Mainland increased by 8% over the same period last year to 1,012 GWh due to
an increase in electricity sales to Shekou.
Total electricity sales, including both local sales and sales to the Mainland, increased
by 0.2% to 26,614 GWh.
The Board of Directors of CLP Holdings today declared the third interim dividend for
2017 of HK$0.59 per share payable on 15 December 2017. (HL)
