Introduction 簡介

HK Electric is proposing to build an Offshore Wind Farm in Hong Kong near Lamma Island. The proposed project will be located at a 600-hectare site about 4 km southwest of Lamma Power Station featuring 13 to 19 wind turbines, each being 8 to 12 MW. The total generating capacity of around 150 MW is expected to produce around 400 million units of electricity per year, adequate for annual consumption of about 120,000 households in Hong Kong (based on 275 units a month). This is equivalent to around 4% of the Company's annual electricity output.

The project's Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report was approved by the Environmental Protection Department on 14 May 2010 and the Environmental Permit was granted on 8 June 2010. The Application for Variation of Environmental Permit (VEP) was also approved on 5 May 2022.

HK Electric had been collecting wind data in the selected site for many years.  According to findings by independent consultant after reviewing the recent data, the selected site has sufficient wind resources with an average wind speed of about 7.1 metres per second, which is higher than the average wind speed recorded by the HK Observatory at the Waglan Island Meteorological Monitoring Station. This makes the selected site an ideal location for wind farm development. 

This website aims to provide information on the project background, EIA study, EM&A information and relevant documents of the Stakeholder Liaison Group set up particularly for the project. HK Electric will continue to engage major stakeholders in the process and we welcome any feedback or suggestions from the community at large.

港燈正計劃在香港境內近南丫島附近發展一個離岸風力發電場項目。擬建的離岸風場選址於距離南丫發電廠約四公里的水域,佔地600公頃,發電量約150兆瓦。計劃安裝的風力發電機組約13至19台,每台機組容量為8至12兆瓦,預計每年產電約4億度,約足夠12萬戶家庭全年使用(以每月每戶用電量275度電計算)。風場產電量佔港燈年總發電量約4%。

環境保護署已於2010年5月14日批准通過離岸風場的環評報告,並於2010年6月8日發出環境許可證。更改環境許可證的申請亦於2022年5月5日批出。

港燈在風場選址收集風力數據多年。根據獨立顧問檢視近年風力數據,選址平均風速約為每秒7.1米,擁有足夠風資源,風力亦較天文台於横欄島氣象監測站所錄得的平均風力為高,屬發展離岸風場的理想地點。

本網站旨在提供有關離岸風場項目的背景資料和環評研究的内容,並載列環境監察及審核資料,以及為本項目成立的持份者聯絡小組的相關文件。我們將繼續與各主要持份者保持溝通,同時歡迎社會各界就港燈離岸風場項目提出意見。
