CLP Community Energy Saving Fund
For over 120 years, CLP has grown with the Hong Kong community, responding to the evolving needs of society and supporting people from all walks of life. Under the current Scheme of Control Agreement, the CLP Community Energy Saving Fund (CESF) is funded by 65% of the incentives earned by CLP from achieving energy saving targets. The CESF has launched various programmes which aim at supporting the underprivileged, boosting the economy and promoting community-wide decarbonisation.
In 2025, HK$240 million is allocated from the CESF to continue launching a range of community support programmes to support the elderly and the underprivileged, promote energy conservation and decarbonisation, and add momentum to Hong Kong’s economy. The number of beneficiaries is expected to be more than 900,000.
