To support the Government's policy of promoting waste-to-energy and renewable energy initiatives, CLP installed power generation units at the West New Territories (WENT) Landfill. The units make use of landfill gas produced locally at the landfill site for power generation and the electricity generated will be transmitted to CLP's power grid.
The project comprises seven 2MW generation units. The first phase of five units started operation in 2020 and the remaining two units are currently under construction.
