CLP, HKE receive approval for 2024-28 development plans

Total capital expenditures for the development plans are $52.9b for CLP, and $22.0b for HKE.

Major Hong Kong-based energy firms – CLP Power Hong Kong Limited and Castle Peak Power Company Limited (through joint partnership CLP) and The Hongkong Electric Company Limited (HKE) – have received approval for their 2024-2028 development plans and 2024 electricity tariff adjustments.

The overall estimated capital expenditures in the developments are $52.9b for CLP, and $22.0b for HKE, lower than the current 2018-23 development plans, due to less investment placed in generation projects and more towards the transmission and distribution (T&D) systems.

Such development plans will aid the containment of local generation as efforts for a cleaner energy transition and imports push forth. The larger investment in T&D goes to the maintenance of energy supply for the growing demand in Hong Kong and its other development areas.

In addition, the approved 2024 Electricity Tariff Review will serve under its 2024-28 Development Plans. Both CLP and HKE will add to the 2024 basic tariff: with an average of 3.1% for CLP and 4.4% for HKE. Due to the decrease of global fuel prices, the net tariff for both companies will be reduced in January 2024 by 7.4% for CLP, and 16.0% for HKE.

As a result, both companies have estimated that the annual increase in basic tariff will hit 2% to 3% in 2025 to 2028, with consideration of inflation. Meanwhile, the basic tariff under the 2024-28 development plan will hit 2.2% for CLP and 3.1% for HKE.

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.
