     The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) today (January 27) announced an adjustment to the auto-LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations from February 1 to February 28, 2025, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts for dedicated LPG filling stations.
      
     A department spokesman said that the adjustment on February 1, 2025, would reflect the movement of the LPG international price in January 2025, and the average movement of the latest Composite Consumer Price Index and Nominal Wage Index. The overall adjusted auto-LPG ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations would range from $3.71 to $4.63 per litre, amounting to a decrease of $0.01 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. The latest year-on-year rates of change of the Composite Consumer Price Index and the Nominal Wage Index are +1.7% and +3.6% respectively.
      
     The auto-LPG ceiling prices for respective dedicated LPG filling stations in February 2025 are as follows:
