Our Regional Presence
We are committed to decarbonising and digitalising our business to serve our customers across the Asia-Pacific region amid the ongoing energy transition.
We operate a vertically-integrated electricity supply business in Hong Kong – which includes generation, transmission and distribution, and retail – and serve 80 percent of the territory's population. Through our partnership with China Southern Power Grid International (HK) Co., Limited in Castle Peak Power Company Limited (CAPCO), we operate the Castle Peak Power Station, Black Point Power Station, Penny’s Bay Power Station and the landfill gas power generation project (WE Station) at the West New Territories Landfill site. The gross capacity (operation / under construction) totals 8,268MW (as at 31 December 2022). We also import power from Guangdong Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station. In addition, we manage over 16,600 kilometres of transmission and distribution lines and over 15,600 substations.
CLP is regulated by the Scheme of Control Agreement in Hong Kong, which monitors our performance and stipulates our levels of investment and return. The scheme has served Hong Kong well and is a key factor behind the world-class level of reliability, reasonable cost and environmental performance of our electricity supply. We share the community’s concerns about environment, and as such we were early adopters of cleaner fuels. CLP has reduced air emissions by more than 90% from the early 1990s, despite a nearly 90% rise in electricity demand in the same period.

Our generation portfolio in the Mainland includes nuclear, wind, solar, hydro and coal. As of 31 December 2022, our generation and energy storage capacity totalled 7,029MW, with operations in 16 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. The total investment in Mainland China is around HK$50 billion. CLP is continuing to pursue growth in renewable energy in Mainland China, while exploring investment opportunities in smart energy businesses to diversify and contribute to the ongoing energy transition, with a particular focus in the Greater Bay Area.
We have taken a number of measures to support the Chinese Government’s efforts to combat climate change and reduce carbon intensity. We will continue to responsibly manage the environmental impact of our projects and operations, and maintain full compliance with all applicable regulations and standards.
Volunteering efforts by CLP staff remains one of our key platforms to engage with local communities, mainly through youth education and environmental awareness activities.
At CLP we believe in sharing our expertise to help develop sound and balanced frameworks for the evolving electric power industry in the Mainland. We are committed to establishing a long-term and sustainable presence in the Mainland for the future.

As of 31 December 2022, EnergyAustralia's generation and energy storage portfolio including long-term offtake amounted to 5,786MW. EnergyAustralia also serves the electricity and gas needs of 2.46 million customer accounts across Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Queensland.
Helping communities is important to EnergyAustralia. It has developed strategic partnerships with respected organisations to support the development of sport and the well-being of the communities it serves, helping to improve both local amenities and the environment.
