Veolia, Sun Hung Kai Properties and CITIC Pacific Join Forces to Promote Green Energy
The Tseung Kwan O South East New Territories Landfill Solar Farm, jointly developed by Veolia, Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) and CITIC Pacific, has officially commenced operation. This project is Hong Kong’s first solar farm built on a restored landfill that participates in the Feed-in Tariff Scheme. It is also the largest solar power installation of its kind in the city, marking a significant milestone in Hong Kong’s renewable energy development and contributing to achieving the nation’s carbon neutrality target by 2060 and Hong Kong’s target by 2050.
Spanning approximately 140,000 square feet with about 1,850 solar panels, the solar farm is expected to generate 1.2 million kWh of green electricity annually, enough to power 360 households and reduce 530,000 kg of carbon emissions per year.
Built on a restored landfill, the project enables the site to achieve three green functions: construction waste processing, landfill gas production and utilisation, and solar power generation. This integrated approach maximises land use efficiency while supporting Hong Kong’s transition to a low-carbon and sustainable future.
SUNeVision, a subsidiary of SHKP and Hong Kong’s largest data centre provider, has purchased CLP Renewable Energy Certificates linked to the solar power generated by the solar farm. This initiative forms a closed-loop ESG model within SHKP, supporting SUNeVision in achieving 100% clean energy usage in its operations and its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
An opening ceremony was held in this May, with Chief Executive Mr John LEE delivering a congratulatory address via video message. Officiating guests included Secretary for Environment and Ecology Mr TSE Chin-wan; Director of Environmental Protection Dr Samuel CHUI; Chief Executive Officer of Veolia Asia Pacific Zone Mr Gavin GRAVESON; Executive Director of SHKP Mr Christopher KWOK; Vice President of CITIC Pacific Mr KWOK Ka-wa, and other distinguished attendees.
The project also serves as an educational platform to promote low-carbon awareness. Following the opening ceremony, students from two primary schools participated in an educational talk and a guided tour at the solar farm, gaining insights into solar technology and its environmental benefits. The programme fostered interest in STEAM learning and contributed to building a talent pipeline for Hong Kong’s sustainable development. Looking ahead, the solar farm will continue to organise educational and community activities to extend the reach of low-carbon awareness across the wider community.
