Black Point Power Station

Black Point Power Station (Chinese: 龍鼓灘發電廠) is a gas-fired power station in Hong Kong. The power station is operated by China Light and Power.

Built in 1996 near Lung Kwu Tan in Tuen Mun District, the station was built for China Light and Power and provides 2,500 MW of power. The complex consists of two halls with 4 turbines in each hall producing cleaner power when compared to coal or other gas powered plants. The last turbine was completed in 2006.

The station is owned by the Castle Peak Power Company Limited (CAPCO), a consortium of companies:

Since its deployment, gas is provided from a gas well 750 km south of Hong Kong, in the South China Sea. CLP plans to increase usage of gas for its local generation when more gas becomes available, this change is in line with the Hong Kong Government’s proposed enhancements to the Air Quality Objectives and Climate Change Strategy.
