Supporting nuclear energy education for all

CLP Power is committed to supporting the development of a lower carbon city. To mark the 30th anniversary of the import of nuclear energy from the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station into Hong Kong, CLP Power launched several initiatives to enhance public understanding of nuclear energy, including many aimed at young people.

In partnership with the Nuclear Division of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, CLP Power has developed a series of animated videos aimed at enhancing public understanding of nuclear energy. The series of four videos, available on CLP's YouTube channel, covers the topics of nuclear power generation, radiation in daily life, the role of nuclear power in addressing climate change and nuclear safety. The videos present complex scientific concepts in a simple and engaging way, making them accessible to a broad audience, especially students.

CLP Power and Daya Bay Nuclear Power Operations and Management Co., Ltd. (DNMC) have also supported the Mainland China study tours organised by the Education Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR Government. These tours are part of the Citizenship and Social Development subject in the school curriculum and aim to deepen students’ understanding of national development. Starting from the 2024/2025 school year, they include visits to the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station, where students learn about the importance of nuclear energy for achieving decarbonisation goals and contributing to sustainable development. The first group of over 150 senior secondary students, teachers and principal visited the power station on 7 November 2024. During their visit, they explored the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Science and Technology Museum and learned about nuclear safety and the development of the nation’s nuclear industry.

The CLP Power Low Carbon Energy Education Centre (LCEEC), established by CLP Power and City University of Hong Kong, held its second "Low-Carbon Invention Competition" in the year to raise students' awareness of decarbonisation and energy-saving in response to climate change. Over 600 students from 54 schools participated, creating everyday inventions and transforming them into 3D models using 3D drawing software. This year, to mark the 30th anniversary of CLP Power's nuclear energy imports from Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station, nuclear energy was included as a scoring criterion. Many winning entries creatively integrated nuclear power principles into their inventions, showcasing the students’ understanding of nuclear energy.
