The MSAR Government has implemented a series of welfare measures since year 2008, including the so-called “Electricity Charges Subsidy Scheme” which provides subsidy to local residential households for paying electricity charges. The scheme has already reached phase eighteen this year. Under the current scheme, a maximum of MOP 200 monthly subsidy will be credited to each residential unit’s electricity account, and will be deducted from the monthly electricity bill. Any unused monthly subsidy will be carried forward to the account’s “Accumulated and Unused Government Electricity Charges Subsidy” item for future use. This accumulated amount can be used in the next 24 months following the termination of the scheme, and the maximum monthly subsidy amount will remain unchanged. As such, the total amount of “Accumulated and Unused Government Electricity Charges Subsidy” available for deduction for each residential household within the period is capped at MOP 4,800 (MOP 200 x 24 months = MOP 4,800).

Detailed information on the implementation of the latest six phases of the Scheme is as follows:
