[Commissioning Ceremony of Happy Valley Underground Stormwater Storage Scheme] [Full Commissioning of the Largest Solar Farm in Hong Kong] [DSD Research & Development Forum 2016: Climate Ready@HK] [Awards and Honours]
Being the largest of its kind in Hong Kong, the Solar Farm at Siu Ho Wan Sewage Treatment Works came into operation on 9 December 2016. The Solar Farm comprises over 4,200 polycrystalline photovoltaic panels occupied 11,000 square metres. It is anticipated that the Solar Farm can generate as much as 1.1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 230 households. The renewable energy generated is fed to various facilities and systems inside the plant, including screening and sludge treatment facilities and a ultra-violet disinfection system etc., which is expected to reduce 770 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
To raise the public awareness of climate change, we held a commissioning ceremony of the Solar Farm on 9 December 2016 and invited more than 300 guests to witness the successful commencement of the power grid. A tour was arranged for guests after the commissioning ceremony to further introduce the information of the Solar Farm.
