The findings and recommendations do not necessarily represent the views of the HKSARG. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. INTRODUCTION 2. INFLUENCING FACTORS AND KEY ISSUES 3. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS AND KEY ISSUES 4. POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS REFERENCES ABBREVIATIONS 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Background 1.1.1 The HK2030: Planning Vision and Strategy (Main Study) is a strategic planning study tasked with preparing a strategic land use planning framework for Hong Kong for a period of 30 years. It will address ‘how much, what type and where land for development should be provided’. 1.1.2 The Government is committed to supporting and promoting sustainable development and to this end major policy and strategy initiatives must undergo a sustainability assessment. Under the overall goal of adhering to the principle of sustainable development, a planning objective of the HK2030 Study is to provide a good quality living environment. To achieve this, we need to strike a balance in the demand for, and supply of, environmental resources and a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is being undertaken as an integral part of the HK2030 Study. 1.1.3 To put the SEA into context, it is important to note that the Main Study involves four key stages of work viz: Stage 1: Agenda Setting, Baseline Review and Identification of Key Issues Stage 2: Examination of Key Issues Stage 3: Formulation and Evaluation of Scenarios and Options Stage 4: Formulation of Development Strategies and Response Plans 1.1.4 The SEA is being integrated with the Main Study by providing environmental input at all stages.

  • History and Reorganisation
    HISTORY AND REORGANISATION OUR HISTORY Over the last 120 years, we have been generating and supplying electricity to Hong Kong, serving A1A 29(1),(2) CO Sch 3 a pivotal role throughout Hong Kong’s economic transformation. We can trace our origins back to 1889 para 21 and 29 when HEC, our principal operating subsidiary, was incorporated in Hong Kong. Since lighting up the first electric street lamps in Hong Kong in 1890, we have continued to serve the community in Hong Kong for generations. We have been and are the sole electricity provider to Hong Kong Island and Lamma Island. We have continually expanded our capacity to meet the ever growing energy needs of Hong Kong. HEC’s first power station in Wan Chai commenced commercial operations in 1890. A second power station at North Point commenced commercial operations in 1919. A third power station at Ap Lei Chau commenced commercial operations in 1968. Since 1990, Lamma Power Station has been our sole power generation facility and is located on an approximately 85.8-hectare site at Po Lo Tsui on Lamma Island. As at 30 September 2013, the Lamma Power Station had an aggregate installed capacity of approximately 3,737 MW and we had approximately 568,000 registered customers on Hong Kong Island and Lamma Island. For further details, see “Business”. Our operations are subject to the Scheme of Control entered into with the Hong Kong Government. The first Scheme of Control was entered into in 1980 for a term of 15 years beginning on 1 January 1979 and it was renewed in 1993 for a similar term until the end of 2008.

    ICE Breaker Newsletter of ICE Hong Kong 2018 Issue 1 Messages and News Together we can! ear Fellow members and friends, D We are now into the final quarter of the 2017/18 session for the ICE HKA committee. It has been a remarkably challenging and fruitful time for the committee. On top of our usual suite of high quality learned society activities, we have been exceedingly bold in launching an ambitious ICE 200 programme around three strands, namely knowledge, branding and inspiration. Our vision for this milestone year of the ICE bicentenary is to enthuse the profession, enhance our public image and inspire the next generation. Our ICE 200 events are centred around the TECH (ie technology, engineering, climate and humanitarian) themes. Some of our flagship events to date are as follows: (a) Innovation Summit on 12 January 2018. The Honourable Mrs Carrie Lam, Chief Executive of HKSAR Government, gave the opening address as the Guest of Honour. (b) Distinguished Lecture on 13 March 2018 delivered by Dr Robin Sham, CBE, and Dr Ana Ruiz-Teran from Imperial College London. Mr Andrew Heyn, British Consul-General to Hong Kong and Macao, gave the opening address as the Guest of Honour. (c) Grand Opening of the World’s Longest Span LEGO® bridge on 21 March 2018. The Honourable Mr Matthew Cheung, Chief Secretary for Administration, was the Guest of Honour for the Grand Opening Ceremony. About 80 students from 8 schools contributed to pre-assembling the bridge components. The LEGO® bridge was displayed to the public in ELEMENTS for one month.
