Adjustment in ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations in September 2023
*********************************************************************************
     The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) today (August 25) announced an adjustment to the auto-LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations from September 1 to September 30, 2023, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts of the dedicated LPG filling stations.
      
     A department spokesman said that the adjustment on September 1, 2023, would reflect the movement of the LPG international price in August 2023. The adjusted auto-LPG ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations would range from $3.00 to $3.87 per litre, representing an increase of $0.35 per litre.
      
     The spokesman said that the auto-LPG ceiling prices were adjusted according to a specified pricing formula. 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.
