Providing opportunities for young people and nurturing the future generation

With fresh graduates and career starters facing many challenges, CLP Power is addressing the working needs of local young people and collaborating with various partners to boost the career opportunities available for them.

In 2025, CLP Power continued to collaborate with the Correctional Services Department (CSD) in providing young inmates and rehabilitated young persons with opportunities for training and career development through a series of career talks, induction courses, visits, internship and job opportunities.

CLP Power has continued to support the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Strive and Rise Programme. Graduate trainees, young engineers and representatives from various business units were nominated to participate in the one-year mentorship programme, pairing one-on-one with junior form students from underprivileged backgrounds. Throughout the year, the mentors accompanied the students in a wide range of activities, including visits to CLP facilities such as CLP Pulse, the CLP Power Academy and the CLP Low Carbon Energy Education Centre, providing them with valuable life and study advice. Our efforts have again been recognised, with CLP being awarded the Supporting Organisation Award for the third consecutive year.

Further, CLP Power supported the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups for the CLP Energy for Brighter Tomorrows Award by providing scholarships for 20 young people with outstanding achievements in battling adversity. Nine CLP Power colleagues acted as mentors for the students. Since its launch in 2018, a total of 140 students have been awarded scholarships.

In 2025, CLP Power signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the College of Professional and Continuing Education of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to cultivate future talents through a new master’s programme that blends engineering, computer science and business skills, and adds a strong emphasis on AI integration and safety, in a programme that will prepare future leaders for Hong Kong’s evolving energy landscape.

CLP Power is committed to promoting a low-carbon and energy-saving lifestyle through the use of innovative tools and public education programmes. It launched a new digital board game, “Low-Carbon City Planner”, that enables players to explore energy efficiency as well as carbon and waste-reduction. CLP Power also premiered the latest episode of its 3D cartoon series Power Kid Channel: Power Quality, and hosted visits to kindergartens by its engineers.

In 2025, CLP Power partnered with The Green Earth and Metro Broadcast Corporation Limited to launch the CLP Climate Ambassadors Podcast Competition, attracting over 100 teams from 47 primary schools. Through creative podcast productions on three environmental themes—climate change, low‑carbon living and renewable energy—the competition aimed to raise public awareness of climate issues and low-carbon living, empowering students to become the next generation of “Climate Ambassadors”. Environmental talks and broadcasting workshop were organised for more than 4,000 students, enabling them to deepen their understanding of environmental issues through creative learning. Students also gained insights into how climate change affects daily life and even power quality. Winning entries were broadcast on radio, bringing students’ voices beyond the classroom and into the community to spread environmental messages to the wider public.

Since the launch of the Engineer in School Programme in 2016, it has motivated junior secondary school students to save energy and explore careers in power engineering. Under the programme, CLP engineers have engaged with more than 75,000 students from 240 schools through school talks, STEM workshops, and visits to Black Point Power Station, the InnoPower Hall and the CLP Low Carbon Energy Education Centre.

CLP Power organised a Tree-Pruning Robot Challenge in 2025, which attracted participation by nearly 100 junior secondary students from various schools. The students needed to integrate artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and power engineering to assemble and programme robotic arms. Participants also utilised large language models to analyse data, exploring opportunities and challenges associated with applying technology in the power industry.
