Michael Wong

Michael’s career started in 2012 with the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department. He spent seven years conducting building assessments across Kowloon and the New Territories, getting to know every corner of Hong Kong’s energy landscape. That’s when he learned the real complexity — the tariff structures that CLP and HK Electric use, how Towngas pricing works differently by zone, and why seasonal demand charges hit hardest during humid summers.

But here’s the thing that frustrated him most: most families were overpaying simply because they didn’t understand their bills. A confusing tariff table, a seasonal surge charge that came out of nowhere, or an AC setting that made cooling costs skyrocket. These weren’t technical problems. They were communication problems.

In 2019, he made the move to PowerSense Hong Kong Limited. His focus shifted from government audits to helping regular households — the ones living in tight apartments, dealing with Hong Kong’s humidity, and trying to keep utility bills reasonable. He’s worked with over 3,000 households since then. Most see 15–25% savings annually through tariff optimization, behavioral adjustments, and understanding when government energy rebate schemes actually apply.

What drives Michael is simplicity. He breaks down complex tariff tables, seasonal demand charges, and government rebate schemes into steps that work. He holds a degree in Environmental Science from the University of Hong Kong and regularly contributes to local media discussions on energy policy — he’s been quoted by the South China Morning Post and Hong Kong Economic Times on utility cost trends.
