CCBF invites you to join a luncheon to listen to CLP Power's Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Richard Lancaster, speaking to us about CLP’s offshore wind farm proposal including details about the construction method, their process of stakeholder engagement, the business plan and economics.

The recent announcement that CLP’s proposed offshore 200MW wind farm capable of generating enough power for 80,000 households is technically feasible and environmentally acceptable is very exciting news for Hong Kong and indeed the world. Once completed in around the middle of the next decade, the proposed wind farm would be comparable to the world's largest - 91 turbines with a 209MW capacity in the North Sea off the west coast of Denmark.

CLP’s proposed plans for 67 wind turbines 135 metres high near the Ninepin Islands, about 10km east of Clear Water Bay in Sai Kung. The turbines have been shifted 1km east in response to residents’ concerns about the visual impact. CLP are presenting this renewable energy opportunity in Hong Kong.

In response to the Hong Kong Government’s 1-2% renewable energy (RE) target and the community’s desire for renewable energy. The initiative will also contribute to achieving CLP’s voluntary target in its Climate Vision 2050 of increasing the non-carbon-emitting generating capacity in the portfolio to 20% by 2020.

Date: 2nd July, 2009 (Thursday)
Time: 12.30pm-2.00pm
Venue: Harcourt Suite, The Hong Kong Club, 1 Jackson Road, Central
