Hong Kong has a target to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and has been developing its renewables portfolio for some years in order to achieve this, including by the installation of solar panels on water bodies. Binnies Hong Kong Ltd (an RSK group company) has been providing ongoing expert advice on the delivery of this technology since it
As one of the most highly developed cities in the world, Hong Kong consumes a huge amount of electricity, which is mainly generated from coal and nuclear power, and only 0.2% is produced from renewable energy. Given that 70% of the city''s greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions are the result of electricity generation, there is an urgent need to develop cleaner
The CLP/HK Electric Feed-in Tariff Scheme is based on the capacity of the renewable energy generation system, purchases all the electricity generated by the customer''s renewable energy generation system at a maximum of $4 Electricity, which will continue to be repurchased at a fixed price until December 31, 2033.
This article provides general information on installing solar photovoltaic (PV) system at your premises, connecting it to the grid and receiving FiT payment. What are the major hardware components of a solar PV system? Solar PV
The SolarCare Programme aims to promote the use of solar energy in Hong Kong as well as to develop a community service platform for renewable energy. This programme is an active response to the Government''s recent Feed-in Tariff (FiT) policy. Its mission is to accelerate the application of solar energy within the local community to increase
The deployment of renewable energy has been key to the transition from energy to clean and sustainable development, with renewable energy accounting for 28% of global electricity consumption in 2020, up 2% from 2019, according to the International Energy Agency''s Global Energy Report. In Hong Kong, since 2018, due to feed-in tariff incentives

By showing the solar irradiation of the building rooftops, the Hong Kong Solar Irradiation Map (the Map) enables users to perform a preliminary assessment of the solar energy potential for their building rooftops. Users can define the PV system settings and select an area of the building rooftops to display the corresponding solar irradiation and the estimated annual electricity
Photovoltaic systems in Hong Kong can be classified into two main types As sunshine is intermittent in nature, storage batteries are needed to store some of the electricity generated by the solar panels, so that when sunshine is insufficient, the system can
Renewable Energy Projects. In Hong Kong, the primary use of solar energy is to provide hot water for facilities with heating demand or to generate electricity directly. Some small-scale photovoltaic and wind systems have been installed in remote areas to generate nominal electrical power for lighting and on-site data recording equipment.
To encourage the usage of renewable energy, the Hong Kong government proposed the "Feed-in Tariff" (FiT) scheme in October 2018. The two power companies would purchase electricity at a price higher than the prevailing market price from householders who installed solar systems, to present opportunities for the public to invest in solar energy.
According to the information provided by CLP 9 and Hong Kong Electric 10 on the FIT, the construction cost of solar panels is in the range of [30,000 HKD −50,000 HKD] per kW and the payback period is approximately 10 years. Thus, we first calculate the optimal FIT over 10 years for the minimum and maximum levels of solar PV installation cost
The system can transform solar energy into electricity to power up the lighting system and passenger information facilities, promoting sustainable growth of the society. (Hong Kong Stock Code: 17), invests and operates a wide range of businesses predominantly in Hong Kong and across Greater China. Our core businesses include toll roads
In Hong Kong, buildings account for over 90% of electricity usage, creating over 60% of the city''s carbon emissions. One of the critical measures to achieve the carbon neutrality target is to reduce coal-fired and natural gas-fired electricity
Company Development. We are the only company in Hong Kong that has its own solar power plant.Since 1981, we have determined that the future world will be a green one addition to producing and selling a wide range of renewable energy products, we can also provide an integrated solution to wind power for civil, commercial, public and large-scale facilities around
Hong Kong SAR Government has estimated to have about 1- 1.5% of electricity supply from solar PV by 2030. In order to meet this challenge, a detailed study on performance comparisons of
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has recently announced its latest commitment to being a sustainability leader in Hong Kong by launching a renewable energy project that will include the
It will be Hong Kong''s largest solar energy generation project when complete. The system will generate up to 3 million units (kWh) of electricity each year – equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of more than 900 three-member households in Hong Kong, and reduce 1.5 million kg of carbon emission per annum over a 25 year period.
Calculations show that if all building roofs were covered with solar panels, solar systems could produce between 2.66TWh – 5.98TWh of electricity, equivalent to 5.9% – 13.4% of Hong Kong''s electricity consumption.
Please refer to the chapter on Serving Hong Kong for more information. HK Electric owns and operates a 0.8-MW wind turbine, known as Lamma Winds on Lamma Island, and a 1.1-MW solar power system at LPS. In 2022, these systems generated solar panels on the roof-tops of our facilities and office buildings by 2023, which will provide an extra

A Hong Kong university will launch the city''s largest solar energy project: installing up to 8,000 solar panels on campus to generate not only electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of
Solar panels are a very popular device in Hong Kong. Solar energy is the most common and commonly used renewable energy source in Hong Kong. Even as a building owner or an owner of a village house or a detached house, installing solar panels will be beneficial and harmless., and with the advancement of solar panel technology, it is no longer limited to
These figures reflect energy consumption – that is the sum of all energy uses including electricity, transport and heating. Many people assume energy and electricity to mean the same, but electricity is just one component of total energy consumption. We look at electricity consumption later in this profile.
In order to create a greener Hong Kong, everyone is welcome to install renewable energy power generation systems and sell electricity to CLP/HK Electric. In addition to helping to combat
Solar panel, also known as solar module or solar cell, is a kind of optoelectronic semiconductor sheet that uses sunlight to generate electricity directly, and can output voltage and current when it is illuminated by sunlight.
