  • Business Performance and Outlook
    Business Performance and Outlook The Group is building a Utility of the Future for energy users in Asia Pacific to support the region’s low-carbon, digital transformation. SmartHub@CLP Hong Kong Supports the city through an important journey of decarbonisation while maintaining a safe and highly-reliable electricity supply to 2.64 million customers. 40 CLP Holdings 2019 Annual Report Financial and Operational Performance Overview CLP continued to provide Hong Kong with a safe and highly reliable electricity supply in an environmentally-friendly way and at a reasonable cost throughout 2019. Sales of electricity within Hong Kong rose 1.8% to 34,284GWh as warmer weather lifted demand in the residential, commercial as well as infrastructure and public services customer sectors. A new local demand peak of 7,206MW was reported on 9 August 2019, 51MW higher than the previous record set in 2017. The figure would have been 62MW higher had CLP not actively pursued demand response initiatives to ask key customers to reduce electricity use. In addition to this underlying growth, major local infrastructure developments, including the commencement of the Guangzhou- Shenzhen-Hong Kong High Speed Rail (Hong Kong Section) and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, also resulted in more electricity use. There were no sales to Mainland China in 2019, after the expiry of the electricity supply contract with Shekou in June 2018. In 2019, the number of customer accounts rose to 2.64 million, compared with 2.60 million in 2018. CLP places a very high importance on continuing to deliver positive outcomes for its communities and customers, and in doing so throughout 2019 it achieved an overall supply reliability of 99.999%.

  • Anglesea Mine Hydrology and Hydrogeotechnical Study
    Anglesea Mine Hydrology and Hydrogeotechnical Study Introduction Alcoa’s Anglesea mine is located at Anglesea, in south western Victoria, approximately 35 kilometres from Geelong. The Anglesea Mine supplied brown coal to the Anglesea Power Station since its inception in 1969 until shutdown in August 2015. The operation, including both mine and power station, has now entered an interim monitoring period whilst the final Closure Plan is being developed prior to implementation. The mine is located within the Anglesea River catchment, a relatively small scale river system, with a catchment area of approximately 885ha. The two main tributaries of the Anglesea River are Marshy Creek, which flows from the north, and Salt Creek which flows from the west with its last kilometre diverted around the northern edge of the Alcoa mining area prior to the commencement of mining in the 1960’s. Alcoa has a legislative requirement to manage and ensure risks related to the mine are minimised to acceptable standards. Sources of potential risks may include mine hydrology, hydrogeotechnical, geotechnical, erosion, fire, impacts on internal/external infrastructure, site and public safety, and impact on environmental elements such as creeks and waterways. Background The Work Plan requires a Closure Plan that depicts the final landform at the cessation of mining to comprise a final lake void surrounded by safe and stable batters and revegetated areas. The plan also depicts the re-diversion of Salt Creek approximately back to its original path. With the operation shutdown, the closure concept for the Mine Closure Plan now requires technical specification, and therefore a technical study of the proposed hydrology and hydrogeotechnical aspects is required.
