About the power station

Castle Peak Power Station is located in the New Territories. It is a coal-fired power station that can burn natural gas or ultra low-sulphur diesel as a backup fuel.

In the 1980s, we built this station to respond to Hong Kong’s rapid growth in electricity demand. During that time, we shifted the station’s primary fuel from oil to coal. This enabled us to provide reliable and affordable electricity to our customers.  

We recognise the community’s desire for improved environmental standards. Since 2011, our equipment has significantly reduced emissions from Castle Peak Power Station. These include sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.  

Emission monitoring  

To support the Government’s emissions requirements, we collect and track our power stations’ emissions. We then apply this information into the daily operation of the power plants.

Strategic partnership 

Castle Peak Power Station is owned by Castle Peak Power Company Limited (CAPCO). CAPCO is a joint venture of CLP power Hong Kong Limited and China Southern Power Grid International (HK) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Southern Power Grid Co. Ltd (CSG), under a 70/30 partnership.  

CLP has been a close business associate of CSG since 2014.   

In view of the increasing integration between Hong Kong and Guangdong, we see the strategic partnership with CSG as a natural extension of our past collaboration.  

We believe our collaboration with CSG will pave the way for new business opportunities for both parties in the long run.
