About Hong Kong Electric

HK Electric provides world-class performance in the business of electricity generation, transmission, distribution and sales in Hong Kong. In the mid-1990s, HK Electric identified the need for building a new extension to its power station in Lamma to cope with the growth of Hong Kong as it entered the 21st Century. To minimize the environmental impacts of the new generating facilities, the Company decided to adopt the gas-fired combined cycle technology for the extension.

Located at a reclaimed site of 22-hectares south of the Lamma Power Station (LPS), the extension was planned to have six gas-fired combined cycle units with a total generating capacity of 1,800 MW. The first 335 MW gas-fired combined cycle unit was synchronized in July 2006 and started its commercial operation in October 2006, bringing the total installed capacity of Lamma Power Station to 3,736MW.
