CLP Power Hong Kong Limited (CLP Power) is the Hong Kong utility subsidiary wholly owned by CLP Holdings Limited, a company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and one of the largest investor-owned power businesses in Asia. CLP Power operates a vertically integrated electricity supply business in Hong Kong, and provides a highly reliable supply of electricity and excellent customer services to more than six million people in its supply area.

CLP Power plays the role of orchestrator in the local electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem by promoting the wider adoption of EVs in Hong Kong, supporting the Hong Kong SAR Government’s goal of achieving zero vehicular emissions by 2050. Leveraging our power expertise, CLP Power has implemented several initiatives.

The eMobility Network was formed by CLP Power and 15 other companies including ECV manufacturers and operators, charging service providers, and a bank offering green finance services in 2023 to provide a cross-sector platform for knowledge and technology exchange.

With a well-planned power grid, CLP Power is ahead of the curve in supporting EV infrastructure by introducing innovative power supply solutions tailored to Hong Kong’s unique environment.

CLP Power also collaborates with petrol station operators to convert Petrol Filling Stations (PFS) to EV quick charging stations and retrofit existing PFS.

To support the expansion of the EV charging network, CLP Power developed the eMobility Grid Management Platform (eGMP). The platform analyses the usage rate and pattern of charging stations in different locations by integrating the data of EV charging, thereby optimising grid planning and resource allocation.
