To: Licensees of Lunar New Year Fairs
The 2026 Lunar New Year Fair venues are equipped with illumination facilities. No artificial lighting other than electrical lighting shall be used by a licensee. A licensee may use batteries to provide power for his stall.
To ensure sufficient power supply for fair venues, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) will enhance the co-operation with the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department and engage designated registered electrical contractors (electrical contractors) to provide additional power supply for wet goods stalls and dry goods stalls. Licensees are required to hire the service from the FEHD at their own costs for additional power supply.
To ensure the stability of power supply and compliance with statutory requirements and the relevant safety standards, the following arrangements will be implemented in the application procedures for additional power supply. If a licensee requires additional power supply, the licensee or the authorised representative of a licensee is required to visit the office to submit application set out in (i) Details of Corresponding Offices of Fair Venues to submit the application and pay the fees required immediately.
Application Period
- The FEHD will charge you the hiring fees required for the power supply you have applied for according to the prices set out in the Price List of Power Supply.
- A licensee or the authorised representative of a licensee may submit an application (with the completed application form and/or the duly signed authorisation letter) and pay the fees required for hiring the power supply at regular prices for each stall at the Assembly Hall in Lai Chi Kok Government Offices (Address: 2/F, 19 Lai Wan Road, Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon) on 21 November 2025 (Friday) (9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.). For the period of 24 November 2025 (Monday) to 5 December 2025 (Friday), 15 December 2025 to 23 December 2025 (Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.), he/she will have to visit the corresponding offices of fair venues to submit an application and pay the “Early Bird” fees required for hiring the power supply at regular prices for each stall (see (i) Details of Corresponding Offices of Fair Venues).
- A licensee or the authorised representative of a licensee may also submit an application (with the completed application form and/or the duly signed authorisation letter) and pay the “regular” fees required for hiring the power supply for each stall at the corresponding offices of fair venues during the period of 26 January 2026 to 13 February 2026 (Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.) (see (i) Details of Corresponding Offices of Fair Venues).
- Under normal circumstances, if a licensee finishes setting up the stall and has informed the FEHD representative by 12:00 noon on 10 February 2026 (Tuesday) (the specified deadline), the FEHD, upon receiving your notification, can ensure the provision of the power supply required by 9:00 a.m. on 11 February 2026 (Wednesday) according to the amount of fees you have paid.
- If a licensee does not finish setting up the stall by the specified deadline, the FEHD, upon receiving your notification, will provide the power supply required for all the stalls that have finished setting up and have informed the FEHD as at 11:59 p.m. on 10 February 2026 by 6:00 p.m. on 11 February 2026 according to the actual circumstances.
- The FEHD will provide a stall with the power supply required only if the licensee has finished setting up the stall (not applicable to stalls which do not require setting up) and/or paid the FEHD the required hiring fees.
- Only one application is required for each stall.
Payment Methods
Cash, cashier’s order, cheque, EPS or Faster Payment System (FPS).
Other Points to Note
-
No person shall, while having dealings of any kind, offer any advantage to any staff of the FEHD or any employee of the registered electrical contractor.
-
Once confirmed, the service hired for a stall shall not be varied, transferred or assigned to any other stall, or cancelled. All fees paid are non-refundable.
-
After a licensee has submitted an application and paid the hiring fees required, he may hire additional power supply for his stall as necessary.
-
If a licensee has provided the FEHD with a valid local mobile phone number, the FEHD may inform the licensee of the progress of his power supply application through SMS in a timely manner. Please note that the FEHD will not send SMS messages containing any website link.
-
Where payment is made by a dishonoured cheque, the FEHD is entitled to immediately suspend the provision of power supply to the stall concerned until the licensee has settled the payment required.
-
For the fair venues at Tat Tung Road Garden in Tung Chung where no registered electrical contractor is engaged by the FEHD, a licensee who requires additional power supply is required to engage a registered electrical contractor to arrange for electrical installation works with the power company for temporary power supply to his stall. Alternatively, he may use batteries to supply power to his stall.
