CLP Power Hong Kong announced its full support for the government’s updated Hong Kong Roadmap on Popularisation of Electric Vehicles, pledging to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and expand charging infrastructure across the city.
The utility company’s commitment comes as Hong Kong pursues its ambitious target of achieving zero vehicular emissions and carbon neutrality before 2050.
The company will join a newly established government working group, where it will share expertise and case studies from its work helping enterprises expand EV charging networks throughout the territory.
As part of its contribution to the working group, CLP Power will showcase its eMobility Grid Management Platform, an innovative solution for enhancing energy management and optimizing grid planning. The company will also share insights from its Electric Vehicle Residential Time of Use Tariff, which provides customers with flexible charging options while reducing strain on the power grid during peak hours.
“The updated Roadmap sets out a clear and comprehensive direction for the popularization of EVs, in particular creating favourable conditions for the large‑scale deployment of commercial EVs,” CLP managing director Joseph Law Ka-chun said.
CLP Power has already made significant contributions to Hong Kong’s EV infrastructure. Under the government’s Fast Charger Incentive Scheme, the company has identified approximately 8,000 potential locations within its supply area suitable for fast charger installation, helping stakeholders plan and deploy charging facilities more effectively.
The utility is also working with charging service operators and petrol station operators to expand the charging network in response to growing demand.
On the residential front, CLP Power continues to support the government’s EV-charging at Home Subsidy Scheme. To date, the company has assisted approximately 390 private residential buildings and housing estates in installing charging infrastructure, covering around 100,000 parking spaces.
