CLP Empowers Customers in Their Decarbonisation Journey via Demand Side Management
Our climate is rapidly changing and temperatures around the world continue to rise, resulting with growing demand of electricity, especially in the summer. Among its energy efficiency promotions and initiatives, CLP has stepped up its Demand Side Management measures to help its business and residential customers lower peak electricity demand to achieve energy efficiency in support of the government’s long-term decarbonisation strategy.
Peak Demand Management Programme for Business Customers
Since 2013, CLP has been rolling out its Peak Demand Management Programme for commercial and industrial customers by offering rewards to those successful in reducing their electricity consumption. With the strong support of commercial and industrial customers, the programme could reduce more than 60MW system demand at annual peak.

Hong Kong Green Building Week 2022 Officially Kicks Off
Co-organised by the Construction Industry Council (CIC) and the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC), the Kick-off Ceremony of the annual public campaign “Hong Kong Green Building Week (HKGBW) 2022” was successfully held on 24 September at CIC-Zero Carbon Park. Officiating at the ceremony and kicking off the campaign were Mr TSE Chin-wan, BBS, JP, Secretary for Environment and Ecology, The Government of the HKSAR, Ir Thomas HO On-shing, JP, Chairman of the CIC, and Mr CHEUNG Hau-wai, SBS, Chairman of the HKGBC. Around 100 guests including government officials and industry stakeholders also attended the ceremony to witness the official campaign launch.
During the event, the Officiating Guests shared the latest Government and industry strategies for achieving carbon neutrality. To echo the theme “10 out of 10 for Green Building. Carbon Neutrality by 2050!”, they also created a “Greenbuildingverse” model green city by putting together green building blocks one by one, symbolising that all three parties will work together to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
A 10-year Review
At the ceremony, our special guest Alexandra, who participated in the HKGBW TV commercials from 2020 to 2022, was invited to travel in a time machine and review the campaign’s success over the last 10 years! VIP Guests Mr WONG Kam-sing, Former Secretary for the Environment, added to this retrospective by sharing his precious memories of the HKGBW.
