Certified Butterfly Garden established at CLP Power’s System Control Centre to promote biodiversity

CLP Power established a Certified Butterfly Garden at its Strafford House System Control Centre, part of the wider Jubilee Woodland area in Tai Po, Hong Kong.

Major milestone reached for the 10-year forest restoration programme in partnership with Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden (KFBG)

In partnership with Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden (KFBG) since 2022, CLP has been supporting a 10-year forest restoration programme to revitalise 10 hectares of native, subtropical montane forest within KFBG’s nature reserve. With a sponsorship of HK$10 million, the programme supports KFBG in planting up to 25,000 native trees of over 200 species and numerous understorey plants, contributing valuable scientific insights into the carbon sequestration potential of native forests.

Gas Turbine Enhancement Project at the Black Point Power Station

The Black Point Power Station (BPPS) is undertaking a Gas Turbine Enhancement Project across four “C” units from 2025 to 2028. The project commenced with the successful implementation of upgrades to Unit C8 in 2025, which included upgrading the combustors and hot gas path components within the gas turbine using a state-of-the-art design to optimise performance and efficiency.

Integrating solar power with sustainable agriculture: The Yixing Solar Farmʼs agriculture-fishery-photovoltaic integrated approach

The Yixing Solar Farm has adopted the "Circular Design & Input" pillar of CLPʼs Circular Economy (CE) Strategy through its closed-loop Agri-Pasture-Fish cycle, creating a chain of “straw–fertiliser–goats–crabs”.

Background

Increasingly, nature loss is recognised to be a source of risk to businesses and financial systems. CLP is enhancing its management of nature-related matters by seeking to better understand the interconnectedness between biodiversity and climate change, the potential risks and opportunities arising from its dependencies on natural systems that provide ecosystem services, and the impacts and implications of its own operations on the natural environment. With reference to the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), CLP’s disclosure covers how it assesses nature-related risks and opportunities in its governance, strategy, risk and impact management activities, as well as the relevant metrics and targets it uses.

To minimise adverse environmental impacts and create positive outcomes for nature, CLP has continued to strengthen its commitment to supporting biodiversity, implementing the circular economy and mitigating environmental discharges. CLP is also refining its focus areas and the relevant metrics to more effectively manage its interactions with nature. Group-level environmental targets for 2025 regarding air emissions, freshwater consumption, and waste production have been reviewed. All reduction targets set for 2025, using 2021 as the baseline, have been achieved as a result of various environmental initiatives implemented by individual assets.
