CLP electricity sales in Hong Kong up 2.6% YoY in Q1

The commercial sector saw significant demand due to the lifting of pandemic restrictions.

CLP Holdings reported a 2.6% year-on-year (YoY) increase in electricity sales in the first quarter of 2023 to 7,106 gigawatt-hours (GWh) due to the economic rebound as COVID-19 restrictions were removed.

In a statement, CLP said the lifting of restrictions boosted activity in the commercial sector which saw stronger demand from restaurants. The sector accounted for the largest chunk of the total sales at 40%, increasing by 6.7% YoY to 2,812 GWh.

The full return of government services and the resumption of physical classes also contributed to the rise of the infrastructure and public services sector. It comprised 30% of the total sales with a 3.5% YoY rise to 2,079 GWh.

Meanwhile, the residential sector, which accounted for 25% of the total sales, was the only sector that saw a decline, dropping by 4% to 1,791 GWh.

The manufacturing sector, which composed 5% of the total sales, saw a 1.2% YoY uptick to 334 GWh.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
