VISIT HIGHTLIGHTS
Climate
change and Electricity Saving are hot topics. The community must
jointly practice the principles of "use less, waste less", including
energy and water conservation, and green energy sources, with an aim of
moving towards a low-carbon society.
In
addition to the promotion of energy saving to tie in with the carbon
reduction targets, the Government is actively exploring opportunities
for harnessing renewable energy sources, for places such as sewerage
treatment plants.
Hong
Kong's Largest Solar Farm has been built in the Siu Ho Wan Sewage
Treatment works, and was launched in December of 2016. The plant is

about 25% of the current annual electricity consumption of the plant.
The visit will explore both the Treatment Process and the Solar Farm. Applications for the visit will commence from 9 June 2017.
