Supporting the Government's decarbonisation goals through a waste-to-energy initiative at the West New Territories (WENT) Landfill

In support of the Government's policy of promoting waste-to-energy initiatives and increasing lower-carbon energy supply for customers, CLP Power has installed power generation units (namely WE Station) at the WENT Landfill, in operation since 2020.

The units utilise landfill gas produced locally at the landfill site for power generation, and the electricity generated will be transmitted to CLP Power's power grid. With the commissioning of the two new generation units in October 2024, the generation capacity of WE Station has increased to 14MW, making it the largest landfill gas power generation facility in Hong Kong. The project highlights CLP Power’s dedication to the decarbonisation of Hong Kong by converting waste into energy and reducing carbon emissions.
