Adjustment in ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations in December 2024

     The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) today (November 25) announced an adjustment to the auto-LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations from December 1 to December 31, 2024, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts for dedicated LPG filling stations.

     A department spokesman said that the adjustment on December 1, 2024, would reflect the movement of the LPG international price in November 2024. The adjusted auto-LPG ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations would range from $3.74 to $4.64 per litre, amounting to an increase of $0.03 to $0.04 per litre.

     The spokesman said that the auto-LPG ceiling prices were adjusted according to a pricing formula specified in the contracts. The formula comprises two elements – the LPG international price and the LPG operating price. The LPG international price refers to the LPG international price of the preceding month. The LPG operating price is adjusted on February 1 and June 1 annually according to the average movement of the Composite Consumer Price Index and the Nominal Wage Index.
